Description
NOV. 5, 1940. J GER 2,220,330
S-AFETY BABY HAMMOCK Filed March 23, 1940 mm 7mm Patented Nov. 5, 1940 UNITED STATES- PATENT OFFICE 6 Claims.
This invention relates to baby hammocks and articles of generally similar nature.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide a structure within which a baby may be placed and wherein the child is entirely covered to provide protection against insects and the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide a baby hammock having a substantially tubular netting or other fabric and means for supporting the netting in such a manner that the child cannot come into contact with the rigid supporting members.
A further object of the invention is to provide a protective grill adapted to removably receive the netting and its support whereby the child is protected against animals when left alone out of doors.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will more fully appear from the following description made in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the views, and, in which:
Fig. l is a plan view of the netting and its supporting frame;
Fig. 2 is a section taken approximately on the line 22 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the outer protective grill; and
Fig. 4 is a section taken approximately on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
In Figs. 1 and 2 there is shown a chamber 5 which is preferably made from some suitable type of netting which will permit free flow of air therethrough and at the same time be fine enough to provide protection against insects. It will be seen that the netting has closed ends and that along its upper longitudinal portion and partially down the ends of the netting is provided with an opening which can be closed as with a hookless fastener indicated at 6. The fastener slide is shown at I in Fig. 1.
Extending outwardly from the end portions of the netting 5 are fabric straps 8 which are se- Slung beneath the netting 5 are straps I3 whose opposite ends are connected to the bars l and,
as seen in Fig. 2, these straps extend downwardly a beneath the netting to provide a support therefor. Thus when a child is placed in the netting it will be supported entirely by the netting and its re-enforcing straps I3, and as a result it is impossible for the child to come in contact with any of the metal frame members.
In Figs. 3 and 4 there is shown an outer frame or protective grill in the form of a pair of wire sections I4 and [5. It is seen that these sections are made up of longitudinal bars and semi-circular bars and that the main intermediate portion of this outer frame comprises a plurality of crossed wires or bars in the form of a relatively open grill work which, however, acts as positive protection against annoyance or injury of the child by dogs or cats. The two sections of the outer frame or grill work are provided with suitable hinges IB, and it is also contemplated that a latch mechanism of some desired type be used to keep it closed. Although the outer frame mem her or protective grill is shown much smaller than the inner frame or netting unit, this was done merely for the purpose of convenience in illustrating the device, and it is, of course, understood that the outer member is to be made sufficiently large to receive the inner frame and netting. It should also be noted that the ends of the outer member are provided with springs I1 and it is preferred that suitable hooks are provided on the ends of the spring to permit the device to be hung up as a hammock. Thus the child can be carried in a motor vehicle with perfect comfort and safety. Regardless of bouncing and jolting of the vehicle the child will be comfortably suspended in the netting inside of a protective frame, and because of the manner in which the netting is supported the child will not injure itself since it cannot come into contact with any rigid frame element or vehicle structure.
It will readily be seen that my invention utilizes a structure which is extremely simple in makeup and economical to produce, yet at the same time it offers features of comfort and safety from several standpoints. It is a device which can be easily transported since it is light and of a convenient size to handle and if desired the inner frame and netting can be used alone although, of course, a great deal more protection is afforded when the outer frame or grill work is utilized.
It will, of course, be understood that various changes may be made in the form, details, arrangement and proportions of the various parts without departing from the scope of my invention.
What is claimed is:
l. A safety baby hammock comprising, an inner frame having rigid ends, rigid longitudinal side and bottom members connecting said ends, said frame having an open top portion, a flexible fabric netting of substantially tubular shape and having closed ends, said netting being suspended within and by said inner frame and having an opening extending longitudinally substantially throughout its length, and a sectional rigid outer protecting frame adapted to removably receive said inner frame and netting, said outer frame comprising a grill work to protect the netting suspended in said open inner frame.
2. The structure in claim 1 and said netting being suspended in said inner frame out of contact with both said inner and outer frame.
3. The structure in claim 1 and said inner frame side members being spaced apart a distance substantially as great as the width of said tubular netting unit, the size of the opening in said netting being sufiicient to permit lateral separation of the upper portion of the netting for substantially the Width of said inner frame, and said outer frame comprising upper and lower hinged open work sections, said upper section being swingable away from said lower section to permit a child to be placed in and removed from said netting.
4. A safety baby hammock and the like comprising, a pair of ring-like end pieces, a plurality of longitudinal side members connecting said end pieces, a substantially tubular netting having closed ends and being of less size than the overall size of said frame member, said netting having an opening with a closure therefor, and a plurality of straps extending from the ends of said netting diagonally outwardly to said end pieces whereby said netting is suspended within said frame out of contact therewith.
5. The structure in claim 4 and a strap member extending beneath said netting and having its ends secured to oppositely disposed side frame members to prevent said netting from sagging between its ends.
6. A safety baby hammock comprising an inner frame having rigid ends, means rigidly connecting edge portions of said rigid ends and maintaining said ends in spaced relationship, said I frame having an open top portion, a flexible fabric netting of substantially tubular shape and having closed ends, said netting being suspended within and supported by said inner frame and having an opening extending longitudinally substantially throughout its length, and a sectional rigid outer protecting frame adapted to removably receive said inner frame and netting, said outer frame comprising a grill-like structure to protect the netting suspended within said open inner frame.
