Abstract:
1. A mounting assembly for mounting a toy bar arrangement to a frame of an infant seat assembly, the mounting assembly comprising: a mounting member adapted to fixedly engage a frame of an infant seat assembly; a receptacle member operably engaged with the mounting member and defining a cavity, the receptacle member being rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis with respect to the mounting member, and between a locked position and an unlocked position in relation to a locking member associated with the mounting member; and a mating member adapted to operably engage a toy bar arrangement and configured to be removably received within the cavity of the receptacle member so as to be rotatable in conjunction with the receptacle member between the locked and unlocked positions, the mating member and the receptacle member engaged therewith extending along a non-vertical axis in the locked position, the mating member having a locking flange associated therewith, the locking flange being configured to engage the locking member in the locked position so as to prevent the mating member from disengaging the receptacle member in response to one of an axial force applied to the mating member along the non-vertical axis and a rotational force applied to the mating member toward the locked position, the mating member being configured to rotate to the unlocked position, and the locking member being configured to disengage the locking flange in the unlocked position so as to allow the mating member to be disengaged from the receptacle member, in response to at least one of an axial force applied to the mating member along a vertical axis and a rotational force applied to the mating member toward the unlocked position, so as to prevent the toy bar arrangement from supporting the frame of the seat assembly.
