Baby gym/bouncer

Abstract

Provided is a baby gym-bouncer comprising a base assembly, a seat assembly and a handle assembly. The base assembly includes a base frame connected to the handle assembly. The seat assembly includes a seat frame pivotally connected to the handle assembly. The handle assembly is configured such that the seat assembly may be selectively oriented in a bouncer position or a gym position. In the bouncer position, the seat assembly is upwardly inclined relative to the base assembly. In the gym position, the seat assembly is disposed in substantially abutting contact with the base assembly such that the baby gym-bouncer assumes a substantially narrow cross-sectional profile. The seat frame is configured to be resiliently deflectable downwardly relative to the base assembly when in the bouncer position.

1 . A baby gym-bouncer, comprising: 
 a base assembly having a base frame;    a seat assembly having a seat frame; and    a handle assembly connected to the base frame and pivotally connected to the seat frame, the handle assembly being configured such that the seat assembly may be selectively oriented in one of a bouncer position and a gym position;    wherein the seat assembly is upwardly inclined relative to the base assembly in the bouncer position, the seat assembly being disposed in substantially abutting contact with the base assembly in the gym position such that the baby gym-bouncer assumes a substantially narrow cross-sectional profile.

       3 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 1  wherein the seat assembly is sized and configured to be complementary to the base assembly.  
   
   
       4 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 1  further comprising a toy bar assembly having a toy bar frame pivotally mounted to the seat frame.  
   
   
       5 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 1  wherein the toy bar assembly is sized and configured to be complementary to the seat assembly.  
   
   
       6 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 4  further comprising at least one toy releaseably engaged to the toy bar assembly.  
   
   
       7 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 4  wherein the toy bar assembly is configured to be disposed in substantially abutting contact with the seat assembly.  
   
   
       8 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 4  wherein opposing ends of the toy bar frame each include a toy bar hub pivotally engagable to a toy bar mount such that the toy bar assembly may be selectively angularly oriented relative to the seat assembly.  
   
   
       9 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 1  wherein the handle assembly includes a pair of seat frame tracks formed on opposing ends of the handle assembly, the seat frame tracks being configured to maintain the seat assembly in the bouncer or gym positions.  
   
   
       10 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 9  wherein: 
 each one of the seat frame tracks includes an upper and a lower detent formed in the handle assembly;    the upper and lower detents of respective ones of the seat frame track being configured to maintain the seat assembly in the bouncer and gym position respectively.    
   
   
       11 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 1  wherein the seat assembly may be releaseably secured to the base assembly at respective perimeters thereof such that the seat assembly and base assembly collectively define an interior compartment.  
   
   
       12 . The baby gym-bouncer of the  claim 11  further comprising a zipper releaseably securing the seat and base assembly such that the interior compartment is externally accessible.  
   
   
       13 . A baby gym-bouncer, comprising: 
 a base assembly having a generally arch-shaped base frame;    a seat assembly having a generally arch-shaped seat frame; and    a handle assembly connected to the base frame and pivotally connected to the seat frame, the handle assembly being configured such that the seat assembly may be selectively oriented in one of a bouncer position and a gym position;    wherein the seat assembly is upwardly inclined relative to the base assembly in the bouncer position, the seat assembly being disposed in substantially abutting contact with the base assembly in the gym position such that the baby gym-bouncer assumes a substantially narrow cross-sectional profile.    
   
   
       14 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 13  wherein the seat frame is configured to be resiliently deflectable downwardly relative to the base assembly when in the bouncer position.  
   
   
       15 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 13  further comprising a toy bar assembly having a generally arch-shaped toy bar frame pivotally mounted to the seat frame above the seat assembly.  
   
   
       16 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 15  wherein the toy bar assembly is configured to be disposed in substantially abutting contact with the seat assembly.  
   
   
       17 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 15  wherein opposing ends of the toy bar frame each include a toy bar hub pivotally engagable to a toy bar mount such that the toy bar assembly may be selectively angularly oriented relative to the seat assembly.  
   
   
       18 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 13  wherein the handle assembly includes a pair of seat frame tracks formed on opposing ends of the handle assembly, the seat frame tracks being configured to maintain the seat assembly in the bouncer or gym positions.  
   
   
       19 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 18  wherein: 
 each one of the seat frame tracks includes an upper and a lower detent formed in the handle assembly;    the upper and lower detents of respective ones of the seat frame track being configured to maintain the seat assembly in the bouncer and gym position respectively.    
   
   
       20 . The baby gym-bouncer of  claim 13  wherein the seat assembly may be releaseably secured to the base assembly at respective perimeters thereof such that the seat and base assembly collectively define an interior compartment.
