COVER FOR THE HANDLE OF A BABY COACH OR THE LIKE Filed May 15, 1953 INVENTOR. ELISE M. LANGERMAN ATTY.
United States Patent COVER FOR THE HANDLE OF A BABY COACH OR THE LIKE Elise M. Langerman, Philadelphia, Pa. Application May 13, 1953, Serial No. 354,738
1 Claim. (Cl. 150-52) My invention relates to a cover for the handle of a baby coach, or stroller or the like.
In cold weather it is most uncomfortable to grip the cold handle of a baby coach, even with the use of gloves. In hot weather perspiration makes the handle slippery and hard to grip. In all weather, gripping the hard handle with bare hands is not desirable.
It is therefore one object of the invention to produce a cover which is readily applied to, and removed from, the handle and which will adequately engage and encompass the handle.
Another object is to produce a simple, attractive and inexpensive cover for the purpose set forth.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a baby coach handle provided with a cover embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on line 2-2 on Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary perspective view of a portion of the cover shown with its edges pulled apart to show the internal construction.
Fig. 4 is similar to Fig. 2 but showing a second embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. 2 but showing a third embodiment of the invention.
The embodiment of Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is made of two layers of fabric and 12 which are suitably joined by appropriate stitches or by other means so as to act as a single layer of fabric. The joined fabric is cut to a length sufficient to cover the entire handle 14 of a baby coach, or the major portion thereof, and is of such width as substantially completely to encircle the circumference of the handle.
The cover thus produced is provided with spaced, relatively broad transversely extending elastic bands 16 which are secured to the inner side of the cover by stitches 18.
l atented June 26, 1956 "ice At the edges of the cover adjacent the ends of the elastic bands, I locate the male and female parts of conventional snap fasteners 20. The number and spacing of the elastic bands is such as to insure that the cover will hug the handle firmly at a number of places, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Instead of the snap fasteners, the free edges of the cover can be provided with the components of a slide fastener.
It will be noted that, as a result of the action of the elastic bands 16, the fabric is shirred, or gathered as at 22. Necessarily, this shirred effect is only diagrammatically illustrated because only the eye or the camera can fully capture this effect. The shirring of the material at 22 produces a warmer, a softer, and a surer and more handfiling grip than would be produced if the fabric were stretched taut, over the handle 14.
The structure of Fig. 4 is essentially the same except that, instead of using two layers of cloth, as in Figs. 1 to 3, I use a single layer of cloth 24 and I use marginal liners 26 of canvas or the like to reinforce the fabric where the snap fasteners are sewed or clamped on.
The structure of Fig. 5 is the same as that of Fig. 4 except that the liners 26 and the snap fasteners 20 are omitted. The covers of Figs. 4 and 5 are intended to sell for correspondingly lower prices than the cover of Fig. l.
The covers of all embodiments can be made pink to indicate a baby girl or blue to indicate a baby boy. Also decorative bows and other frills that appeal so much to ladies may be added.
What I claim is:
A cover for the handle of a baby coach comprising an elongated substantially rectangular piece of a fluffy, textile heat-insulating material of a length sufficient to cover said handle longitudinally and of a width greater than that necessary for covering the handle circumferentially, a plurality of spaced, transversely extending elastic bands secured to the inner side of said material and being of less length than the width of said material to provide a plurality of shirred grip portions, and complementary fastening devices at the junctions of the opposite ends of said bands with the longitudinal edges of said material.
