Abstract
A cover for the protection of an infant comprises a central hub member which is pivotally connected at one end to an extendable and collapsible support frame made up of link arms and pivotally, flexible connected frame ribs. The ribs reside in channels in an exterior surface covering of mesh cloth or transparent or opaque material. The hub member is connected, at its other end, to a string-like line which extends through an opening on the top of the cover. The line is attached to a handle. With the cover in a collapsed position, the handle is pulled upwards, which causes the attached line and the hub to move upward. This results in the link arms pivoting the frame ribs outward and upward. Upon continued pulling on the handle, the hub is pulled into and secured within the opening, causing the frame and surface covering to become fully extended. The cover forming the resulting enclosed space is lightweight and can readily be secured to a crib or simply placed on a bed, the ground, or other unprotected area. The surface covering is provided with a zippered opening to allow for internal access to the cover. By simply pushing down on the hub when the cover is extended, the cover will be caused to collapse.
Description
- A defenseless infant who is placed in a crib, playpen, or a bed or even on a blanket on the floor or ground is susceptible to hazards from the environment. For instance, an infant so positioned may be bothered by a pet, such as a dog or cat. There is also the risk of falling objects on the child. When in the outdoors, a baby is vulnerable to insects and exposure from the sun.
- To account for these hazards, various crib and playpen covers or canopies have been developed. Examples of these are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,820,468; 3,546,721; 4,945,584; and 6,123,091. However, while these covers provide a measure of protection for infants, they, like most prior covers, require extensive efforts during set-up and take-down. For instance, the '468 and '584 patents require that a number of components laboriously be assembled and then connected to a crib or playpen; and the '468 patent can only be used on an infant enclosure. The covering shown in the '721 patent also must be tightly secured to a crib structure, by the weaving of line around its perimeter. The '091 patent shows a canopy which is foldable and appears to have components which make it heavy and difficult to install and transport.
- It is thus an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages and limitations of existing infant protection covers.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an infant cover which provides an enclosed space for the safety and protection of infants from pets, insects, the outside elements, and other hazards.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an infant cover which can be automatically and quickly assembled and disassembled.
- It is further object of the present invention to provide an infant cover which is a self-contained unit with inter-connected components, for ease of assembly and disassembly.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an infant cover which is lightweight and readily transportable.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide an infant cover which is collapsible for easy storage.
- These and other objects of the invention are accomplished by the present infant protection cover which opens and closes in umbrella-like fashion. It comprises a central hub member which is pivotally connected at one end to an extendable and collapsible support frame made up of link arms and pivotally, flexible connected frame ribs. The ribs reside in channels in an exterior surface covering of mesh cloth or transparent or opaque material. The hub member is connected, at its other end, to a string-like line which extends through an opening on the top of the cover. The line is attached to a handle. With the cover in a collapsed position, the handle is pulled upwards, which causes the attached line and the hub to move upward. This results in the link arms pivoting the frame ribs outward and upward. Upon continued pulling on the handle, the hub is pulled into and secured within the opening, causing the frame and surface covering to become fully extended. The cover forming the resulting enclosed space is lightweight and can readily be secured to a crib or simply placed on a bed, the ground, or other unprotected area. The surface covering is provided with a zippered opening to allow for internal access to the cover. By simply pushing down on the hub when the cover is extended, the cover will be caused to collapse.
- The novel features which are considered as characteristic of the invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The crib cover itself, however, both as to its design, construction, and use, together with additional features and advantages thereof, are best understood upon review of the following detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Protective cover 2 of the present invention comprisescentral hub member 4.Hub 4 is pivotally connected at one end to fourlink arms 7, which are in turn each pivotally connected to one of four lightweight, flexiblyresilient ribs 8. The lower ends ofribs 8, as shown in FIG. 9, compriserounded end caps 23. The fourlink arms 7 and fourribs 8 form the support frame of the invention. The upper ends of each of theribs 8 are pivotally connected tolower cover sleeve 10.Intermediate cover sleeve 12 is configured to be positioned overlower sleeve 10.Upper cover sleeve 14 is configured to be positioned overintermediate cover sleeve 12. Each of thesleeves hub 4, whencover 2 is in its fully open, extended position. -
Wire connector 16 extends around exterior channel 9 ofsleeve 10 and throughholes 38 at the upper ends of each ofribs 8, to secure the ribs to the sleeve.Wire connector 18 extends aroundexterior channel 5 ofhub 4 and throughholes 39 at the lower ends of each oflink arm 7, to secure the link arms to the hub. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11,link arms 7 are secured toribs 8 byrivets 29 or similar connectors, extending throughholes 26 throughtabs 25 onribs 8 and correspondingholes 28 throughtabs 27 at the upper ends oflink arms 7. In this manner,link arms 7 are fully pivotable in relation tohub 4 andribs 8, andribs 8 are fully pivotable in relation tosleeve 10 and linkarms 7. - The end of
hub 4 which is not connected tolink arm 7 is connected toline 20, which may be string, cord, twine, thin wire, or other similar flexible elongated components. Whencover 2 is collapsed, as shown in FIG. 2,line 20 extends fromhub 4 throughopenings sleeves - As seen in FIG. 1,
cover 2 has exterior surface covering 24 with fourchannels 40 into which the fourribs 8 are positioned. Surface covering 24 can be of mesh material construction or of transparent or opaque material, depending on the use contemplated. A transparent material, of course, would provide a more enclosed space, but would still permit observation of the infant. An opaque material would prevent exposure from the sun. - A zipper is provided on surface covering24, at
location 42, which permits internal access tocover 2 throughzippered opening 28. As shown in FIG. 5,storage bag 31 withzipper attachment 35 andhandle 33, is provided for storage and carriage ofcover 2 when in its collapsed position. - In use,
cover 2, in collapsed position, as shown in FIG. 5, is removed fromstorage bag 31. Oncecover 2 is removed, handle 22 of the cover is simply pulled upward, which causesline 20 andhub 4 to also move upward. This results inlink arms 7pivoting frame ribs 8 outward and upward. Upon continuing pulling ofhandle 22,frame ribs 8 become extended, as shown in FIG. 7, untilhub 4 is pulled completely intoopenings sleeves link arms 7 to fully extend which bendsresilient frame ribs 8 into the downwardly extending, bowed configuration of fully extendedcover 2, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. - Thus, the cover forming the resulting enclosed space is automatically opened to form a complete and lightweight enclosure.
Cover 2 can then readily be secured, for instance, tocrib 50 by means of retention straps 32 andend flap 34, which can be tied onto the crib.Cover 2 is also lightweight enough to allow it to be picked up and placed on a playpen, bed, the ground or other unprotected area. - By simply pushing down on
hub 4 whencover 2 is extended, the hub will retreat throughopenings bag 31 where it can easily, once again, be stored. - Certain novel features and components of this invention are disclosed in detail in order to make the invention clear in at least one form thereof. However, it is to be clearly understood that the invention as disclosed is not necessarily limited to the exact form and details as disclosed, since it is apparent that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
