Baby diaper changing station
DCFirst Claim
1. A diaper changing station for mounting on a wall surface above a floor surface comprising:
- a platform element having a top surface configured for receiving a child;
a lip structure integrally formed as part of the platform element, the lip structure being continuous with the top surface and extending outwardly from the top surface to form an integral overhang above at least a portion of a side surface of the platform element;
a protective covering structure secured to the platform element and configured for covering over a surface of the platform element opposite the top surface to form a protective surface on the changing station;
the platform element and protective covering structure movable together between a closed position generally against the wall surface and an open position generally parallel with the floor surface, the platform element having side surfaces depending from the top surface;
the protective covering structure having an edge abutting with the lip structure of the platform element below the integrally formed overhang when the protective structure is secured with the platform element to form a tight interface between the platform element and protective structure while presenting a generally seamless appearance at the top surface.

Abstract
A diaper changing station for mounting on a wall surface above a floor surface includes a platform to receive a child. The platform includes a child-receiving portion and a protective covering portion. The child-receiving portion and protective covering portion are coupled together at a seam to form a unitary structure that supports a child and that is movable between a closed position generally up against the wall surface and an open position generally away from the wall surface and above the floor surface. A lip structure is formed on at least one of the child-receiving portion and the protective covering portion to abut with an edge of the other of the child-receiving portion and the protective covering portion to form a generally seamless transition between the portions of the platform.
