Abstract
An infant warmer apparatus includes a base, a crib and a frame. The frame includes a support plate assembly comprising a plate member defining a pivot aperture and a notch. The heater assembly includes a canopy, and a mounting shaft. The mounting shaft defines a first terminal end secured to the canopy and a second terminal end passing through the pivot aperture of the plate member. The mounting shaft includes a biasing pin configured to settle within the notch of the plate member when the heater assembly is in a neutral position relative to the frame. The mounting shaft is rotatable within the pivot aperture such that the heater assembly can be pivoted in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction from the neutral position. A controller is configured to turn off the heater assembly when the heater assembly is pivoted out of the neutral position.
