Infant Support Seat With Rotating Back and Tilting Bottom
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional infant support seats are limited to single functions such as changing, napping, or serving as a bassinet, lacking versatility and convenience in use.
Innovation Solution
The infant support seat features a rotatable seat back and pivotally connected seat bottom, allowing the seat to transition between lying, sitting, and recline positions, enabling multiple uses by adjusting the angle and configuration to accommodate different baby care needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the infant support seat is designed with a fixed structure for a single function (changer, napper, or bassinet), then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the versatility and convenience of use are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the seat back rotatable relative to the lower frame structure, allowing it to transition between a lying position and a sitting position. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the seat to adapt to different infant care needs (changing, napping, sitting) without requiring multiple separate devices, thereby improving versatility while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through a single integrated design
2Adaptability or versatility
If the seat back is made rotatable between lying and sitting positions, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional pivoting mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by designing the seat structure to perform multiple functions through a single integrated system. The rotatable seat back and pivotally connected seat bottom work together to provide lying, sitting, and recline positions, allowing one device to replace multiple specialized items (bassinet, changer, sitting seat) while the complexity is managed through coordinated movement of existing structural components

AI summary
An infant support seat includes an upper structure, a lower frame structure, and a seat structure. The lower frame structure is connected to the upper frame structure to define a containing space with the upper frame structure and be located under the containing space. The seat structure is disposed in the containing space. The seat structure includes a seat back and a seat bottom. The seat back is rotatable relative to the lower frame structure for rotating between a lying position and a sitting position. The seat bottom is pivotally joined to the seat back. The seat bottom is rotatable relative to the lower frame structure to form a lying surface cooperatively with the seat back when the seat back rotates to the lying position and rotate to be tilted upward relative to the lower frame structure when the seat back rotates to the sitting position.
