ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a child care apparatus and more particularly pertains to a new child supporting and amusement apparatus for soothing and entertaining a child by recreating the experience of riding in a car.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of a child care apparatus is known in the prior art. More specifically, a child care apparatus heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,513,981; 5,346,398; 1,504,163; 4,464,117; 5,372,505; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 292,758.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new child supporting and amusement apparatus. The inventive device includes a child supporting structure having an opening in a topside thereof and including a passenger compartment and a car seat support member securely disposed in the passenger compartment and which is adapted to support a child restraint seat; and also includes a plurality of screen and cover support members removably and securely mounted along an edge forming the opening in the topside of the child supporting structure; and further includes a cover member having a bottom and being removably and securely mounted above the opening of the child supporting structure and upon the screen and cover support members; and also includes a plurality of toy objects and figurines being securely suspended from the bottom of the cover member; and also includes a vibrating assembly for vibrating the car seat support member; and further includes a screen member carried about by the screen and cover support members; and further includes a sound producing member disposed in the child supporting structure; and also includes a screen member moving and actuating assembly for moving the screen member about the screen and cover support members.
In these respects, the child supporting and amusement apparatus according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of soothing and entertaining a child by recreating the experience of riding in a car.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of child care apparatus now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new child supporting and amusement apparatus construction wherein the same can be utilized for soothing and entertaining a child by recreating the experience of riding in a car.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which has many of the advantages of the child care apparatus mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art child care apparatus, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a child supporting structure having an opening in a topside thereof and including a passenger compartment and a car seat support member securely disposed in the passenger compartment and which is adapted to support a child restraint seat; and also includes a plurality of screen and cover support members removably and securely mounted along an edge forming the opening in the topside of the child supporting structure; and further includes a cover member having a bottom and being removably and securely mounted above the opening of the child supporting structure and upon the screen and cover support members; and also includes a plurality of toy objects and figurines being securely suspended from the bottom of the cover member; and also includes a vibrating assembly for vibrating the car seat support member; and further includes a screen member carried about by the screen and cover support members; and further includes a sound producing member disposed in the child supporting structure; and also includes a screen member moving and actuating assembly for moving the screen member about the screen and cover support members.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which has many of the advantages of the child care apparatus mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art child care apparatus either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such child supporting and amusement apparatus economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new child supporting and amusement apparatus for soothing and entertaining a chil
