Application April 15, 1946, Serial No. 662,121
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to a supporting device designed for use in supporting and holding a baby comfortably and firmly while being photographed.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is so designed that the support will not in any way interfere with the movements of the arms and legs of the baby and to lessen the time in arranging the pose, eliminating the usual delay, fuss and bother and permitting better expression.
Another object of the invention is to provide a support in which a baby may be safely held in position, without the use of the customary straps, ties, springs or elastics.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a support which will encircle the body of the baby, the support being constructed of transparent material so that the babys clothes will be visible through the support, but the support itself, will be invisible.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangements of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that the poser may be made of any material, and not necessarily transparent, and changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a support constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a plan View thereof.
Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the support.
Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view through the wide rear portion of the support.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the support comprises a base indicated by the reference character 5, the base being constructed of suitable flat material so that it will rest squarely on a table or similar supporting surface.
Secured to the base is a curved supporting member 6 that is constructed of suitable transparent or other material, preferably of a plastic substance which will be capable of flexing, for purposes to be more fully hereinafter described.
As shown, the supporting member is substantially circular in formation, there being provided an opening 1 at the front of the supporting memher, so that the supporting member may be expanded or contracted, to facilitate the positioning of a baby within the supporting member.
The upper and lower edges of the supporting member converge toward the front thereof, providing ample space between the lower edge of the supporting member and the base 5, to permit the babys legs to be moved and arranged thereunder. The back of the supporting member is substantially wide as clearly shown by Figure 4 of the drawings to provide a back rest which will hold the baby in an upright position against falling rearwardly.
The reference character 8 indicates the bracket by means of which the supporting member 6 is secured to the base 5, the bracket being constructed of material identical with that of which the supporting member 6 is formed, so that the bracket will also be invisible, but will permit the baby to be viewed therethrough.
It might be stated that it is within the scope of the invention to construct the bracket of nontransparent material.
It might be further stated that the forward edge of the base 5 is curved inwardly as at 9, providing a slight drop so that the babys legs which fall thereover, may assume a position which will be convenient for the baby.
In the use of the device a suitable cover, known in photography as a ground, may be positioned over the base 5, under the supporting member 6, the cover or ground being of any material or any shade or color desired. The baby is now positioned within the supporting member, having freedom of arms and legs, while being held comfortably but firmly in position. Since the supporting member is constructed of transparent material, the supporting member will be invisible to the eye, but will permit the viewing of the babys clothes through the supporting member.
An opening indicated at I0, is provided in the supporting member at the back thereof and affords means whereby, if desired, a part of the dress may be pulled through and fastened in the narrow slit.
Having described the claimed is:
A support of the character described, comprising a base, and a substantially circular split supporting member constructed of transparent material mounted on the base, said supporting member being wide at the rear thereof and converging towards the split portion, providing arm invention, what is rests and spaces between the lower edge of the supporting member and base, the supporting member being arranged for encircling the body of the infant held therein.
