Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new and improved infant carrier system and, more particularly, pertains to allowing the lateral entry and egress of a child with respect to an infant carrier.
- infant carrier systems are known in the prior art. More specifically, infant carrier systems heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of allowing a child to be placed into an infant carrier and removed therefrom through known apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
- U.S. Patent Number 4,492,326 to Storm discloses a sling-type infant carrier.
- U.S. Patent Number 5,246,152 to Dotseth discloses a baby carrier with head support.
- U.S. Patent Number 5,522,528 to Petricola discloses a baby carrier apparatus.
- U.S. Patent Number 5,678,739 to Fisher-Price, Inc. discloses an infant carrier with harness and detachable shell.
- U.S. Patent Number 5,690,258 to Aprica Kassai Kabushikikaisha discloses a baby carrier.
- U.S. Patent Number 5,632,425 to Hull discloses an infant carrier.
- the infant carrier system substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of allowing the lateral entry and egress of a child with respect to an infant carrier.
- the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
- the present invention provides a new and improved infant carrier system.
- the general purpose of the present invention which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved infant carrier system and methods which have all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
- the present invention essentially comprises a new and improved infant carrier system for supporting a child by a child care provider and for allowing side entry and egress by the child.
- the infant carrier system includes a main body portion.
- the main body portion is formed of an interior fabric and an exterior fabric with padding therebetween.
- the main body portion has a back and a front with a bottom portion therebetween.
- the front terminates in upwardly extending shoulder straps.
- the main body portion has its sides permanently coupled at one edge and releasably coupled at the other edge with leg holes.
- the leg holes are located between the areas of coupling and the bottom portion.
- a back support is formed in a U-shaped configuration.
- the back support has upper edges extending in an inverted U-shaped configuration for positioning over the shoulders of a child care provider.
- the back support has a waist band at the lower end for positioning about the waist of the child care provider.
- the waist band has free ends with a separable buckle therebetween and with the shoulder straps terminating in releasable buckles adjacent to a central section of the waist band.
- a coupling strap is secured to the main body portion with snaps thereon. The snaps are cooperable with snaps on the shoulder straps for the selective positioning of the main body portion to the back support.
- a vertically extending pad has a lower end coupled to the lower extent of the main body portion.
- the pad has lateral edges provided with snaps separably couplable to snaps on the main body portion.
- a fabric loop is formed at the upper edge of the pad with a padded neck support which extends through the loop.
- a buckle has a fixed portion coupled to the main body portion at a lateral edge.
- the buckle has a movable portion coupled to the main body portion adjacent the front edge to effect the opening and closing of the main body portion adjacent to the lateral edge
- An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved infant carrier system which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a infant carrier system economically available to the buying public.
- Even still another object of the present invention is to allow the lateral entry and egress of a child with respect to an infant carrier.
- an infant carrier comprising a main body portion.
- the main body portion has a back and a front with a bottom portion therebetween.
- the front terminates in upwardly extending shoulder straps.
- the main body portion has sides with one edge releasably coupled and with leg holes located between the areas of coupling and the bottom portion.
- a back support is formed in a U-shaped configuration and has its upper edges extending in an inverted U-shaped configuration for positioning over the shoulders of a child care provider and a waist band at the lower end for positioning about the waist of the child care provider.
- the waist band has free ends with a separable buckle therebetween and with the shoulder straps terminating in releasable buckles adjacent to a central section of the waist band.
- a buckle has a fixed portion coupled to the main body portion at a lateral edge and a movable portion coupled to the main body portion adjacent the front edge to effect the opening and closing of the main body portion adjacent one lateral edge.
- the present invention is a system 10 comprised of a plurality of components.
- Such components include a main body portion, a back support, a coupling strap, a vertically extending pad, a fabric loop and a buckle.
- Each of the individual components is specifically configured and correlated one with respect to the other so as to attain the desired objectives.
- a new and improved infant carrier system 10 for supporting a child by a child care provider and for allowing side entry and egress by the child.
- the infant carrier system 10 includes a main body portion 14.
- the main body portion 14 is formed of an interior fabric 16 and an exterior fabric 18 with padding 19 therebetween.
- the main body portion 14 has a back 20 and a front 22 with a bottom portion 24 therebetween.
- the front 22 terminates in upwardly extending shoulder straps 26.
- the main body portion has its sides permanently coupled at one edge 28. The sides are releasably coupled at the other edge 30.
- Leg holes 32 are formed in the main body portion. The leg holes 32 are located between the areas of coupling and the bottom portion.
- a coupling strap 50 is secured to the main body portion with snaps 52 thereon.
- the snaps 52 are cooperable with snaps 54 on the shoulder straps. This is for the selective positioning of the main body portion to the back support.
- a vertically extending pad 58 has a lower end 60 coupled to the lower extent of the main body portion.
- the pad 58 has lateral edges 62 which are provided with snaps 64.
- the snaps are separably couplable to snaps 66 on the main body portion.
- a fabric loop 70 is formed at the upper edge of the pad.
- a padded neck support 72 extends through the loop.
- a buckle 74 Such buckle has a fixed portion 76 coupled to the main body portion at a lateral edge.
- the buckle 74 has a movable portion 78.
- Such movable portion is coupled to the main body portion adjacent the front edge.
- Such portion functions to effect the opening and closing of the main body portion adjacent to the lateral edge.
- Further details of the buckle may be had by reference to U.S. Patent application Serial Number P-5758, filed concurrently herewith, entitled Soft Carrier Buckle, the subject matter of which is incorporated by reference herein. This arrangement allows for greater convenience to the child care provider when placing the infant into the carrier and during the infant's removal while maintaining the child in greater safety and continued comfort when in the carrier.
