(J) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new infant crib device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6 , the zip fastened infant crib assembly 10 generally comprises a crib 12. The crib 12 has a rectangular prism shape with a plurality of sides 14. Each of the sides 14 has a top edge 16 and a bottom edge 18. The top edge 16 and the bottom edge 18 of each of the sides 14 are positioned parallel to each other. Furthermore, the crib 12 has a base 20. The base 20 has a plurality of edges 22 with each of the edges 22 being coupled to a respective one of the bottom edge 18 of each of the sides 14. The base 20 is positioned perpendicular relative to the plurality of sides 14 whereby providing an area 24 of an infant to be positioned within the crib 12.
A pair of zippers 26 is positioned on the plurality of sides 14, whereby enwrapping the crib 12. The pair of zippers 26 comprises a top zipper 28 and a bottom zipper 30. The top zipper 28 of the pair of zippers 26 is positioned proximate to the top edge 16 of each of the sides 14. The bottom zipper 30 of the pair of zippers 26 is positioned proximate to the bottom edge 18 of each of the sides 14. Each of the zippers 26 is configured for interlocking a plurality of teeth 32. The plurality of teeth 32 is configured for being positioned on an edge and coupling to another edge by interlocking the plurality of teeth 32 of each. The top edge 16 of each of the sides 14 has the plurality of teeth 32. Additionally, the bottom edge 18 of each of the sides 14 has the plurality of teeth 32.
A net 34 has a plurality of surfaces 36 being positioned on a respective one of the plurality of sides 14 of the crib 12. The net 34 is a mesh material 36, whereby the mesh material 36 has a plurality of apertures configured for giving the net transparency features. The net 34 has a top edge 38 and a bottom edge 40. The top edge 38 of the net 34 has the plurality of teeth 32. Likewise, the bottom edge 40 of the net 34 also has the plurality of teeth 32. The top edge 38 of the net 34 is configured for engaging by the top zipper 28 to the top edge 16 of the plurality of sides 14 of the crib 12. Furthermore, the bottom edge 40 of the net 34 is configured for engaging by the bottom zipper 30 to the bottom edge 18 of the plurality of sides 14 of the crib 12.
In use, the net 34 can be secured to the crib 12 by using the pair of zippers 26 of the crib 12. When the net 34 is positioned on the crib 12, the infant can be positioned within the area 24 of the crib 12. The infant can be seen through the mesh material 36 of the net 34. Furthermore, an open top 42 of the crib 12 allows for a person to see the infant as well. When the net 34 needs to be removed from the crib 12, the user unzips each of the zippers 26.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
