  • Referring now specifically to the drawings, an exemplary infant support device and its internal components are illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4. The infant support device is shown generally at reference numeral 10. As illustrated in FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of the frame 12 has an upper portion 14 and a lower portion 16. The frame 12 has a substantially figure 8-shape. The upper portion 14 of the frame 12 generally defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving the head of an infant. The lower portion 16 of the frame defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving the body of an infant.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the frame 12 is a single, continuous material that forms the substantially figure 8-shape. The frame 12 intersects itself, forming the upper portion 14 and lower portion 16. The upper portion 14 may be smaller in diameter than the lower portion 16, whereby the upper portion has a diameter greater than the diameter of an infant's head. The lower portion 16 has a diameter slightly greater than the width of an infant's body or torso.
  • The term “infant” has used herein is to be taken to include a small child unless the context requires otherwise.
  • As illustrated in FIG. 2, another exemplary embodiment of the frame 12 is a single, continuous material that generally follows the contours of an infant's body. In other words, the frame 12 contains an upper portion 14, a neck portion 18, and a lower portion 16. The upper portion 12 is designed to receive the head of an infant. The neck portion 18 is designed to receive the neck of an infant, and the lower portion 16 is designed to receive the body of an infant. The upper portion 14, neck portion 18, and lower portion 16 are arranged to form a planar surface relative to one another.
  • The distal ends of the frame 12, as shown in FIG. 2, are open ended. In other words, the distal ends of the frame 12 do not connect, forming a chute for allowing the infant's legs to dangle over the edge of the device 10. Preferably, the distal ends are located just below the hips of an infant, thereby, providing the requisite support for the infant. This arrangement allows an infant's feet to dangle over the edge of the device 10, while still supporting the head, neck, and torso.
  • A cover 20 encloses the frame 12, as illustrated in FIG. 3. The cover 20 provides support for resting the infant within the frame 12 of the device 10. Specifically, the cover 20 stretches between the frame 12 and includes an outer sleeve 22 on the periphery of the frame 12 for enclosing and retaining the frame 12. The sleeve 22 is substantially the same shape as the frame 12 for enclosing the frame. Preferably, the sleeve 22 is permanently stitched around the frame 12, preventing the frame from separating from the cover 20. This arrangement allows the infant to be placed upon the cover 20, and the frame 12 serves as the structural support for the device 10. The cover 20 is permanently attached to the frame 12 preventing separation of the frame 12 and cover 20.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of the device 10. The frame 12 includes a padded portion 24 for protecting the infant. The padded portion 24 is designed to form a cushiony exterior to the frame 12 for preventing injury to the infant that may occur from a hard, non-padded frame 12, depending upon the material utilized for the frame 12. The padded portion 24 fully encompasses the frame 12 by forming a solid exterior boundary. The padded portion 24 may be composed of any material that would dampen the force caused by the infant contacting the frame 12. Such materials may include a sponglike material of substantially uniform thickness or a threaded cloth material with a substantially uniform thickness.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, the distal ends of the frame 12 may be connected by a lower brace 26. The lower brace 26 engages the two distal ends of the frame 12 for providing support. Ideally, the lower brace 26 has a low profile, thus enabling the infant's legs to dangle over the edge of the device 10 unobstructed. The lower brace 26 provides added support for the distal ends of the device 10.
  • In another embodiment, the frame 12 includes an upper brace 28, as illustrated in FIG. 6. The upper brace 28 engages and connects two sides of the frame 12 in close proximity to the neck portion 18 of the device 10. In other words, the upper brace 28 is engaged to the frame 12 at the neck portion 18 and stretches across the interior void of the frame 12 and is engaged to the other side of the frame 12 at the neck portion 18. The upper brace 28 prevents any torque that may tend to occur when the infant is placed and held on the device 10. In other words, the upper brace 28 helps maintain the upper portion 14, the neck portion 18, and lower portion 16 in the same planar relationship when an infant is placed on the device 10. In another embodiment, the frame 12 may include both a lower brace 26 and an upper brace 28 for providing further stability and support.
  • In another embodiment, the device 10 may be placed within a cover, such as a blanket or like device for swaddling a baby. In such an embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 7, the device 10 is incorporated into a blanket 30. In this embodiment, the infant is placed upon the device 10, and the blanket 30 is wrapped around the infant, so that the infant is covered or swaddled by the blanket 30 and supported by the device 10.
  • Alternatively, the device 10 may be placed between two receiving blankets 30. The infant is then placed on the blankets 30 with the blankets 30 in the unfolded position. After the infant is placed on the blanket 30 with the device 10 located beneath the infant, the blanket 30 is securely wrapped around the infant. Alternatively, the device 10 is placed on top of a blanket 30, and the infant is placed within the device 10 on top of the unfolded blanket 30. The blanket 30 is then wrapped around the infant for warmth and comfort.
  • In yet another embodiment, the device 10 may be incorporated into a swaddling blanket 32. The swaddling blanket may include a pocket 34 for receiving the device 10, as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9. The infant is placed on top of the device 10 that is located within the pocket 34 of the swaddling blanket 32, and the sides 36 of the swaddling blanket 32 are wrapped around the infant.
  • In yet another alternative embodiment, a strap 38 is engaged to the swaddling blanket 32, as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11. The strap 38 is composed of two pieces of fabric that contain a hook and loop fastener (sold under the trade name VELCRO®). It is understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that a hook and loop fastener is used herein by way of example only and any type of fastener that can releasably secure two straps together may be utilized, such as a snap or button. One side of the strap 38 contains the hook and the other side of the strap 38 contains the loop. The strap 38 is positioned in close proximity to the neck portion 18 of the device 10 when inserted into the swaddling blanket 32. When the device 10 is inserted into the pocket 34, each side of the strap 38 is engaged to the other through the use of the hook and loop fastener, causing the swaddling blanket 32 to partially constrict around the neck portion 18 of the device 10. The strap 38 releasably secures the device 10 within the swaddling blanket 32.
  • The frame 12 may be composed of any material that is rigid and can provide the structural support to support an infant. Suitable materials may include, but are not limited to, aluminum, plastic, plastic composites, steel, stainless steel, metal composites, and the like.
