DESCRIPTION of the invention having as title:

"MULTIFUNCTIONAL DEVICE FOR THE CARE AND HYGIENE OF INFANTS",

SUMMARY

This device consists of a support, made of non-toxic material, the function of which is to support a child, during the cleaning operations of the same by an adult, supporting it and positioning it properly inside! or outside a washbasin or sanitary ware used for cleaning.

A ground support can be coupled to the aforementioned support, as an aid to the stability of the support itself, when positioned outside the sanitary fixture. The device will also act as a towel holder when not in use.

DESCRIPTION

Currently, the devices on the market with an aid function in the hygiene of children | ; ? consist exclusively in supports, baby bath containers or seats, to be) placed inside a pre-existing bathtub, or made themselves

bathtub function, positioned on the ground, on a toilet or bidet, or on supports

specially created.

The present invention relates to a device, specially designed in

conformation and size, designed to support the infant on the washbasin or on other: | j sanitary ware, during the cleaning of the body of the same, facilitating

remarkably aforementioned operation by the adult who is performing it.

Said device, as indicated in the main claim, will be referred to in

following SUPPORT. the

the SUPPORT in question provides a useful aid for washing individual parts of the child's body, such as only the private parts, once positioned

i correctly inside a sink (Fig.B).

Furthermore, the particular conformation of the SUPPORT allows it to be used in a second position. By hanging the SUPPORT correctly outside a sink, this will be able to support the child while washing the hands, face and upper body (Fig. 9).

For this purpose, the device in question is composed, besides the aforementioned SUPPORT, also of a SUPPORT (Fig. 7), which by connecting the SUPPORT directly to the ground, and anchoring itself firmly both to the ground and to the SUPPORT itself, guarantees a high degree of stability and safety when washing hands, face and in general the whole upper part of the child's body

A further feature of the device also resides in its function as a towel holder, as, when not in use, one or more parts of the SUPPORT can be used to support the towels, which will be used exclusively for children, thus making it possible separately separate the towels used by adults from those used by children, with obvious gains in terms of hygiene and safeguarding the health of the children themselves.

The device in question (Fig. 6), therefore, will be composed of a SUPPORT (Fig. 5) and a SUPPORT (Fig. 7), in non-toxic material and sufficiently rigid to support

the weight of an infant, with a shape specially designed to be adapted to

two different positions to a sink, bidet or bathtub, the SUPPORT

it will take place in a position, which we will later call position "A" (Fig.8), ila

support function for washing the child's lower body e

in the other, which we will later call position "B" (Fig. 9), the support function

for washing the baby's upper part.

The SUPPORT (Fig, 6, H) will connect directly to the SUPPORT (Fig. 6, G) i is

will include <1> one or more anchoring systems, which will ensure the

SUPPORT connecting it, directly and firmly, to the ground and possibly to the% i; sanitary used for cleaning the infant. SUPPORT will also have a

? ? "Which will allow him to lengthen or shorten, depending on the height of the sanitary

which device will be placed.

?

Fig.1 shows a front view of a possible configuration of the

in which there is a slightly concave central part, suitable for accommodating; the

back of the child (Fig. 1, C), and two protuberances in the lower part, placed laterally (Fig. 1, D), suitably shaped to obtain a stable positioning of the infant, keeping his legs apart, making them easily accessible, without cover them, both the front and back private parts (if in position "A").

The same two protuberances will have a profile such as to allow, when the SUPPORT is used in position "B", to serve as hooks, for support and anchoring to the sanitary fixture, of the SUPPORT itself.

Fig 2 shows a possible rear view of the SUPPORT, in which three protrusions can be seen.

The two protrusions placed behind the two protuberances mentioned above (Fig. 2, F), would have both the function of keeping the infant's body lifted by the sanitary, thus making his posterior intimate parts accessible (position "A"), and the function of preventing the child from moving sideways, ensuring full control by the adult, if used in position "B". These protrusions may possibly be equipped with an extension system, for example telescopic or folding opening, so as to ensure full protection from an upper part of the body.

The third protrusion (Fig. 2, E) would have the function of holding the SUPPORT, should be positioned outside the edge of the sanitary ware, and would prevent the SUPPORT from sliding towards the lower part of the sanitary ware, during the washing operation in position But it would also have a function seat, when the SUPPORT is used to wash the upper part of the child's body (position "B")

All the parts of the SUPPORT can then be used as a towel holder, when this is left in position "B" between one use and another.

For purely explanatory purposes, figures 3 and 4 represent respectively a side and a top view of a possible configuration of the SUPPORT.
