A child restraint includes a juvenile vehicle seat and an energy-absorption apparatus coupled to the juvenile vehicle seat. The energy-absorption apparatus is configured to absorb external energy associated with an external impact force applied to the energy-absorption apparatus.

Energy-dissipation system

A foldable scaffold is convertible between a use position and a folded position. In the use position, the scaffold may be used to support one or more people standing thereon. In the folded position, the scaffold may be more compact and easy to carry or store.

Foldable scaffold

A step stool having a front frame member having a bottom end and a rear frame member having a bottom end, the front and rear frame members being coupled together for movement between an opened position in which a bottom end of the front frame member is spaced apart from the bottom end of the rear frame member and a collapsed position in which the bottom ends of the front and rear frame members are positioned to lie adjacent to one another, a step being pivotably coupled to the front frame member for movement between a use position in which the step is oriented at a first angle relative to the front frame member and a storage position in which the step is oriented at a second angle relative to the front frame member, and a generally S-shaped guide track coupled to the step and a follower coupled to the rear frame member to engage the guide track, the follower being arranged for movement along the guide track in curvilinear fashion following the S-shape as the rear frame member moves along the front frame member, and movement of the follower relative to the guide track moves the step between the use and storage positions.

A connector is provided for use with an end-frame assembly having an outer frame and a support member. The connector includes an annular back wall having a first lateral dimension and is formed for engagement with the support member. A sleeve extends from the back wall and has a second lateral dimension that is less than the first lateral dimension. Ribs are positioned on the sleeve. In addition, the connector includes an outer end that extends away from the back wall and has a fish-mouth portion formed thereon that includes a fish-mouth opening, a leg mount that has a side wall extending through the fish-mouth opening, and a support tongue. The support tongue engages the side wall and extends through the fish-mouth portion.

Snap-in frame connector

A connector assembly is provided that is adapted for use with a spindle. The connector assembly includes a bar formed to include an opening having a central axis and a bar-opening dimension and a connector adapted to receive the spindle. The connector includes a base positioned to lie upon the bar. The base includes a base opening and a retaining tab that extends outwardly from the base. The retaining tab includes an outer surface having a dimension less than the bar-opening dimension and an inclined surface converging from the base toward the central axis.
