Subject field(s)
  • Baby and Child Care
CONT

Bouncer (or bouncy) seats generally consist of a frame made of thick metal wire, tubular metal, heavy-gauge plastic, or wood. Covered with a soft (and preferably removable and/or washable) pad that conforms to a baby's shape, bouncer seats are usually springy and bounce or rock when a baby moves to keep him relaxed and amused. The fabric seat is rounded to support a baby's still-fragile spine, and the semi-upright tilt gives him a view of the surroundings.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Leatherworking Tools and Equipment
OBS

Samm (sammy): When wet leather is allowed to dry, it passes through a stage at which it is still damp, but no water can be squeezed out. At this stage, the leather is said to be in a sammed condition. The process of producing this condition in the leather is described as "samming" or "sammying". Sammed leather is in an ideal condition for absorbing grease or fat liquor. Most leather is sammed before it is treated with grease. "Sammed" is, in fact, a contraction for "semidried".
