Definitions

  • This invention relates to garments and in particular to garments for children.
  • US 5,845,335 discloses a garment for producing sounds when noise pad are compressed as well as providing reinforced areas where wear is likely to occur.
  • Said device includes a garment with a plurality of noise pads coupled to the garment.
  • a noise pad is located at each knee region towards the front of the garment, at each elbow region towards the back of the garment and at each sole region.
  • each sole region further includes a non-slip rubber layer that surrounds the outer surface of the noise pad.
  • a child's garment having an anti-slip surface that is provided by an embossed or roughened knee area is known from US 4,845,778.
  • the present invention provides a garment with external regions of enhanced frictional coefficient on at least some of the areas which may be used in locomotion other than walking.
  • anti-slip regions may be provided on underarm areas, buttock areas, underleg areas, and/or shin areas, in particular.
  • the anti-slip regions may be formed by printing a suitable anti-slip material, such as a gel, on the appropriate area.
  • a suitable anti-slip material such as a gel
  • the material may be printed as a pattern, e.g. a decorative pattern, and/or as a figurative design (representing animals, fishes, birds, or insects, for example).
  • the anti-slip regions may occupy shapes representing hands, to indicate to a parent or child-minder where best to hold the child.
  • the garment may be a single-piece or two-piece garment. It may cover the upper and/or lower body, arms and/or legs.
  • the garment may be a romper, a one-piece suit, a singlet romper, or pants, for example.
  • the invention provides a garment for a child, the garment bearing external indicia (e.g. representing hands) which indicate optimum positions for placing one's hands in order to hold or steady the child.
  • external indicia e.g. representing hands
  • the invention provides a garment for covering the body of a baby, the garment having pleats or gathers allowing room for a nappy (diaper).
  • the romper 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is constructed as a single-piece suit of knitted material (cotton, wool, synthetic yarn) for example, which buttons up the front, covers the body of a baby, toddler, or small child, and has sleeves 2.
  • Anti-slip regions 3 of enhanced frictional coefficient are provided on the outside of underarm areas of the sleeves 2.
  • Each anti-slip region 3 comprises a pattern of spots of anti-slip material (such as a known gel used for anti-slip socks) which may be applied by a printing process.
  • the anti-slip regions 3 help the child to exert traction by means of its arms, thereby stimulating crawling and facilitating the development of motor skills.
  • Pleats or gathers 4 in lower body or waist areas allow room for a nappy.
  • the whole-body suit 11 shown in Figures 3 and 4 has sleeves 12 and leg portions 13.
  • the suit 11 is similar to the romper 1 and again has anti-slip regions 3 on the underarm areas and pleats/gathers 4 in waist areas.
  • the garment has printed anti-slip regions 14 on the knee (or shin) areas of the leg portions 13. These regions 14 are shaped so as to represent hands, and they give an indication of where best to hold the child in order to steady it when it is attempting to walk.
  • the singlet romper 16 shown in Figures 5 and 6 has no sleeves and has leg portions 17 in which the knee areas are again provided with the above-described anti-slip regions 14.
  • the singlet romper 18 of Figures 7 and 8 has the above-described anti-slip regions 14 at knee-shin areas of the leg portions 19.
  • the pants 21 shown in Figures 9 and 10 have the above-described anti-slip regions 14 at knee-shin areas of the leg portions 22.
  • the pants 21 of course cover only the lower body and legs of the child.
  • the romper 23 shown in Figures 11 and 12 has short sleeves and no legs.
  • the above-mentioned pleats/gathers 4 are provided in waist areas to allow room for a nappy.
  • anti-slip regions 26 are printed to represent fishes.
  • the anti-slip regions 26 increase friction between the buttocks area 24 and the floor, protect against slipping (e.g. from a chair), and stimulate crawling.
  • the romper 27 shown in Figures 13 and 14 again has pleats/gathers 4 to allow room for a nappy.
  • Hand-shapes 28 are printed on the back of the garment as indicia to indicate where best to hold a baby when picking it up.
  • the romper 29 shown in Figures 15 and 16 again has pleats/gather 4 to allow room for a nappy.
  • the words "Pat Pat” are printed on the upper area of the back of the garment to indicate where best to pat a baby to encourage it to burp after feeding.
