Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/923,624 filed Apr. 16, 2007.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention generally relates to accessories for children. More specifically the present invention relates to a lanyard device for children for supporting a variety of toys and other children's paraphernalia in close proximity to a child.
  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • While strapped into a car seat, highchair or the like, it seems that infants drop toys or utensils to the floor with monotonous regularity. With a painful howl, the infant demands that the dropped object be returned at once. It is often inconvenient for the caregiver to immediately retrieve the object of the infant's affection. Furthermore the object may pick up dirt and germs from the floor and needs to be wiped cleaned (adding another task for the caregiver) before the object can safely be returned to the infant. The art would certainly welcome a safe device that would support an array of objects (including toys and utensils) within easy reach of an infant and also prevent the objects from falling out of reach if dropped. Thus, a lanyard device for children solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The lanyard device for children is suitable for children from six months to five years of age. The device comprises a collar having a plurality of lanyards detachably secured thereto via an array of rings. Toys or other paraphernalia are detachably secured to the lanyards. The collar may be removably attached to a structure so that the lanyards are within easy reach of the child. For safety reasons, it has been determined that the collar should be attached at least 15″ below the chin of the child. As indicated above, the structure could be any structure used to secure a child therein (highchair, stroller, car seat, etc.). The collar and lanyards are designed to prevent the infant from being ensnared therein. The collar rings and lanyards are fabricated in various textures and colors in order to stimulate the infant's sensory perceptions.
  • Accordingly, the invention presents an accessory adapted to secure a child's toys and other objects in a manner to prevent such toys and objects from being dropped or thrown. Compact, lightweight and easily transported, the accessory is easily cleaned and is resistant to chemical attacks from mild disinfectants or the hot temperatures and detergents typically found in dishwashers or washing machines. The accessory is devoid of sharp edges, pinch points, and small, removable parts that might inflict cuts or present a choking hazard to the infant. The invention provides for improved elements thereof in an arrangement for the purposes described that are inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing their intended purposes.
  • These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view of a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial, perspective view of a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a partial, perspective view of the details of a stretchable ring for a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a partial, perspective view of the details of a connector clip for a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a lanyard device for children according to the present invention.
    •
  • Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Attention is first directed to FIGS. 1-3 wherein the lanyard device of the present invention is generally indicated at 10. Lanyard device 10 is supported from a structure 12 in easy reach of an infant C, which infant is strapped in a high chair 14 or the like. As best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, lanyard device 10 comprises a collar member 16 having an array of loops 16 a spaced along the length of the collar. As presently contemplated, collar 16 is provided with seven loops 16 a. It should be noted however, that the collar could be designed with more or fewer loops if desired. Collar 16 is fabricated from a sturdy flexible material and has an overall maximum length of approximately twelve inches for safety reasons, as discussed below. A releasable clasp 18 is provided for securing the ends of the collar together. Collar 16 is designed to be non-elastic as a safety feature to prevent ensnarement of the infant's hand, arm or neck between the collar and the structure to which the collar is attached. The small diameter (approximately four inches) of the collar, when secured, provides secure mounting to the structure without the risk of the infant becoming ensnared. A respective ring member 20 is secured in each loop 16 a. A respective lanyard 22 is attached to each ring member 20. Each lanyard has a length up to 19.5 inches to ensure that no strangulation hazard is present. Each lanyard is provided with a male snap fastener 24 fixed adjacent each end of each lanyard at an appropriate distance from each end (approximately ¼ of an inch). Female (or male) snap fasteners 26 are spaced along the length of each lanyard and function to receive a male (or female) snap fastener therein. This arrangement allows one end of each lanyard to be removably attached to a respective ring 20. The other end of the lanyard can be adjusted (by selecting the proper female fastener) to secure a toy T (FIG. 1) or other selected objects to a respective lanyard.
  • The selected objects may include a closable pouch 30 for stowing lanyards not in use, an elastic band connector(s) (to be made available in various sizes) 32 for releasably retaining various sized containers such as a sippy cup 32 a (FIG. 4), a small book or the like therein and an adjustable, non-pinching, clip connector 34 (FIG. 5) for retaining items, such as small sunglasses or the like. In some instances certain connectors may be permanently attached to a respective lanyard end in a safe conventional manner (sewing, staples non-toxic glue, etc.). Alternatively, the lanyard may be permanently attached to a respective ring member. In other instances a connector may be attached directly to a ring 20. It should be noted that the playthings, connectors and other paraphernalia that may be attached to the lanyards or rings are innumerable. A master storage container (not shown) may be provided to store all the components of the lanyard device when not in use and to enhance portability. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment that incorporates adjustable buckles 36 for attaching the lanyards to rings 20. Buckles 36 are of the conventional side release type and may be utilized to connect as many lanyards as desired.
  • It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
