Description

BABY PHOTO SUPPORT

Field of the Invention The present invention is primarily intended for photographic studios and their professionals, and concerns a compact, collapsible and portable structure which is particularly designed to hold lap children (infants), so that they can be photographed without direct contact with an adult mother - thus providing photographs in which only the child appears. This support aims to bring more convenience and safety to the activity of photographing children on their lap.

[003] State of the art [004] It is well known that, in general, parents make a great effort to record each phase of their children's growth through photographs, and can therefore keep the photographs as a souvenir for posterity, especially related photographs. to commemorative dates or any memorable events. It is also known that when it comes to photographs of lap children (babies), due to their initial condition of limited motor coordination, it is quite common that they are always photographed while being held on their lap, either by their mother or by another adult or young person; or lying on some surface, such as a bed. However, nowadays there is a modality of photography whose demand has increased considerably, which is photography in photographic studio, and which is performed by qualified professionals, as this service guarantees a high quality photographic material, which is especially desirable to compose. souvenir photo albums. And so, for the realization of the photographic sessions of lap children (babies), especially in situations in which only the child is to appear in the photo, it is resorted to some improvisations so that the child remains positioned for a few moments, being some means of keeping a stretched blanket of fabric in the center of which the child can be placed is created, and then photographed. However, these improvisations are impractical, and also give an idea of amateurism to the photographer's work, in addition, these improvisations often offer no security and may even fall apart while the child is being held there, and may have serious consequences, like falls with child injuries.

Objectives of the Invention In order to remedy such drawbacks, the present invention was developed, which comprises a structure consisting of metal profiles - preferably tubes - which can be assembled for use and disassembled for transportation. Whereas, said metal profiles basically comprise a lower base ring and an upper ring which is held suspended by feet in a slightly inclined position, so that within the structure a cushion of compatible shape and height is positioned, and thereafter, over the upper ring, a fabric blanket is extended, which is secured there by suitable fasteners, and thus the fabric blanket is stretched there and may receive the child on the lap for the photograph. By placing the child in the center of the fabric blanket, it adapts into the shape of a stretched shell, providing safety and at the same time a good aesthetic appearance, thus constituting a perfect background for the baby's photograph.

Detailed Description of the Invention In accordance with these illustrations and their details, more particularly as illustrated prominently in Figures 1 to 7, the present invention: BABY PHOTO HOLDER initially comprises a structure which is preferably comprised of tubes circular cross-sections, comprising a lower ring (Al), which is made up of four semicircular segments (Sl), which are interconnected by means of four lower tubular sleeves (Ll), such that said lower sleeves (Ll) have holes (1), while the lower semicircular segments (Sl) have retractable spherical closures (2), thus enabling quick engagement and disengagement between the lower semicircular segments (Sl) and said lower gloves (Ll).

In turn, in the middle region of the upper face of each lower glove (L1) is fixed the lower extremity of one foot (P), thus totaling four feet (P), which are radially sloping slightly outwardly. whereby the upper end of each foot (P) is fixed to the middle region of the lower face of an upper tubular sleeve (L2), thus totaling four upper gloves (L2), on which four upper semicircular segments (S2) are mounted, thus configuring an upper ring (A2). Since the upper circular segments (S2) are also provided with holes (1) - on their lower faces - for quick engagement and disengagement on the upper sleeves (L2), which in turn also have retractable ball closures (2) - also on its lower cheeks - Since the rear foot (P) is slightly longer than the two side feet (P), while the front foot (P) is slightly shorter than the two feet (P) thus, the upper ring (A2) is slightly inclined with respect to the horizontal plane, this inclination being downwardly forward.

Figures 8 and 9, in turn, illustrate in particular the fact that, once assembled, the metal tube structure is provided with a cylindrical shaped pad (F) of compatible diameter to fit between the feet frame ( P), and with approximate height of the anterior foot (P) - the shortest foot.

Also, as shown in Figures 10 to 14, after inserting the cushion (F) into the metal tube frame, a fabric blanket (M) is seated on the upper ring (A2). which is stretched therein, and secured to said upper ring (A2) by means of snap fasteners (3).

[029] Figure 15 shows a configurative variant, which stands out for the fact that the feet (P) present in their average height the attachment of rings (4) or hooks, which serve to fix a lower net or blanket. (5), which in turn receives a thinner cushion (6), thereby dispensing with the larger cushion (F), saving space during transport.

[030] The feet (P) can be noticeably shorter, thus enabling the stand to be seated directly on surfaces higher than the floor, such as beds.

[031] The operation and use of this BABY PHOTO HOLDER is very simple and practical. During the period when not in use, the pipe structure can be kept disassembled and stored, taking up little space. On the other hand, at the time of use, the tubular structure is quickly assembled by the photographer himself or by anyone without further training by simply fitting the ends of the lower semicircular segments (Sl) and the upper semicircular segments (S2) into their gloves. lower parts (Ll) and upper gloves (L2), thus obtaining the already reinforced structure. In the next step, the pad (F) is simply and conveniently inserted into the frame, and then the fabric blanket (M) is positioned over the upper ring (A2), securing said blanket (M) to the said upper ring (A2) by means of the fasteners (3). Thus, the present support is already ready for use, which comprises placing the baby (B) on the fabric blanket (M) in the central region of the upper ring (A2), so that in this condition the blanket of fabric (M) is stretched convergently to its center, where it concentrates the weight of the baby (B), which also rests on the cushion (F), thus providing a safe, comfortable and visually pleasing surface for holding. from baby photographs (B).

[032] Of course, this BABY PHOTOGRAPH SUPPORT may have variations in its dimensions, proportions and geometric shapes, either of the set or its elements in isolation, and their elements may be constituted of diversity of materials, provided they are maintained. its particular characteristics, and which are essential to its realization.
