Abstract

A combined suspension-safety support system and a children's jumper incorporated therewith. The combined suspension-safety support system comprises a primary suspension support system configured for suspending a child-receiving seat platform under normal operating conditions and a redundant secondary safety support system configured for engagement when the primary suspension support system fails.

1 . A baby jumper comprising:

a support frame;

a seat platform configured for receiving a child therein; and

one or more suspension support system configured for suspending the seat platform from the support frame such that the seat platform is moveable relative to the support frame,

wherein the one or more suspension support systems comprise a primary support member and a secondary support member,

wherein the primary support member comprises a support strap and the secondary support member comprises a safety strap, wherein the safety strap is non-load bearing under normal operation and load bearing under failed operation.

2 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , wherein the primary support member comprises at least one buckle, spring, restraint or an additional strap.

3 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , where in the primary support member and the secondary support member are connected by one or more anchors.

4 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , wherein the primary support member is configured for engagement under normal operating conditions and the secondary support member is configured for engagement under failed operating conditions when the primary support member fails.

5 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , further comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve, wherein the primary support system is covered by the first sleeve and the secondary support system is covered by the second sleeve.

6 . The baby jumper of claim 5 , wherein the first and second sleeve are detachably secured to one another.

7 . The baby jumper of claim 5 , wherein the first and second sleeve are permanently secured to one another.

8 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , wherein the primary support system comprises a first resilient member, a second resilient member, a third resilient member, and an elastic member, wherein the second resilient member and the elastic member extend between the first and third resilient members.

9 . The baby jumper of claim 8 , wherein the resilient members are straps and the elastic member is a spring.

10 . The baby jumper of claim 1 , wherein the primary support member and the secondary support member are secured to anchor brackets independent from one another.

11 . A baby jumper comprising:

a support frame;

a seat platform configured for receiving a child therein; and

one or more suspension support system configured for suspending the seat platform from the support frame such that the seat platform is moveable relative to the support frame,

wherein the one or more suspension support systems comprise a primary support member and a secondary support member,

wherein the secondary support member comprises a safety strap, and

wherein the primary support system comprises a first resilient member, a second resilient member, a third resilient member, and an elastic member, wherein the second resilient member and the elastic member extend between the first and third resilient members.

12 . The baby jumper of claim 11 , wherein the primary support member comprises at least one buckle, spring, restraint or an additional strap.

13 . The baby jumper of claim 11 , where in the primary support member and the secondary support member are connected by one or more anchors.

14 . The baby jumper of claim 11 , wherein the primary support member is configured for engagement under normal operating conditions and the secondary support member is configured for engagement under failed operating conditions when the primary support member fails.

15 . The baby jumper of claim 11 , further comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve, wherein the primary support system is covered by the first sleeve and the secondary support system is covered by the second sleeve.

16 . The baby jumper of claim 15 , wherein the first and second sleeve are detachably secured to one another.

17 . The baby jumper of claim 15 , wherein the first and second sleeve are permanently secured to one another.
