Description

FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

The overall field of this invention relates generally to an infant accessory and more particularly to an accessory for use with a conventional baby crib to provide safety for the infant to avoid rolling over on their stomach, or sit up or stand up as well as keep the infant warm while avoiding suffocating the infant.

BACKGROUND

Younger infants typically exhibit uncontrolled movements while asleep and when awake they often roll and move around. Unless confined, such movements may possibly cause injury to the child. Studies have shown that infants who sleep on their stomachs have an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), compared to infants who sleep on their backs. For this reason, infants are often placed in cradles and other systems to protect against the effects of sudden movement such as by rolling over onto their stomachs.

Customarily there have been other apparatus to secure an infant such as a baby wrap. However baby wraps only work for early aged baby whom cannot yet roll over, sit up or stand up. Babies also suffer with the baby wraps if they have already rolled over. The infant then cannot roll back because the baby's arm and legs may have gotten tied up with the wrap, creating an even more dangerous situation. Infants also cannot move and relax their arms and feet, making them more upset. Pediatric doctors also suggest not to use any blanket or dolls on a bed leaving infants to wear layers to keep their bodies warm or turning the heat up without any blanket. Thus, there exists a need for a safe, comfortable, adjustable, multifunctional, suitable, warm baby wrap, bed sheet, and blanket.

The present disclosure recognizes the unsolved need for a system and method for an infant securing apparatus that allows for infants to remain safely on a crib wherein the infant is prevented from rolling over on their stomach, sit, or stand up and injure themselves. The invention also provides a stable blanket to keep an infant warm while avoiding the infant being suffocated by the blanket.

With reference now to FIG. 1, one embodiment of infant securing system 100 according to the present invention is generally designated. FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a fitted bed sheet such as bed sheet 102 to be fit over or to a mattress or other apparatus wherein bed sheet 102 provides corners that grab the corners of the mattress for a form fit. Bed sheet 102 may be made of a breathable, stretchable, moisture absorbable fabric. For instance, the material may be, but is not limited to, a knit material such as a cotton based fabric, silk, sateen, cotton blend, linen, polyester, or polypropylene fabric. Bed sheet 102 may be cut out of a pattern on knit material or formed by any method known by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Bed sheet 102 may include one or more bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of the bed sheet, whereby the bands may be secured within the bed sheet proximally against the outer perimeter of bed sheet 102. Bed sheet 102 may have sewn openings or hem whereby the resilient material may be inserted into the openings and then secured by the openings being fastened closed. The bands may be in a tensile state such that they add rotational forces against the bed sheet when expanded. The resilient material for the bands may be selected according to their modulus of elasticity to tightly engage each of the lines of dependency such that the cover body will remain firmly engaged against all surfaces including the mattress when positioned over the mattress. Bed sheet 102 of the present invention may also pertain to all top sheets, including but not limited to blankets, coverlets, quilts, duvets, mattress pads, bed spreads and comforters or any other top sheet which comes into contact with the mattress with an elastomer or any material which would tend to cling to a mattress to further enhance the securing the top sheet to the mattress.

Bed sheet 102 may have one or more slits such as slits 112. Slits 112 of bed sheet 102 run vertically across the top surface of bed sheet 102, preferably, with the length of the slit the same or less than the as the length of the mattress. Slits 112 are designed not to just be a plain opening cut across the top surface of bed sheet 112 but also to as an opening whereby a series of button holes such as button holes 114 may be located.

Button holes 114 may be provided through bed sheet 102 or through an inner layer of bed sheet 102 at regular widthwise-intervals that match the location and spacing of buttons such as buttons 110 of a blanket such as blanket 108. Button holes 112 are provided spaced from the bottom of bed sheet 102 at a pre-selected distance. Button holes 112 may be provided through a guide rail. Button holes 112 may be provided through twill tape that is attached to bed sheet 102 at predetermined distance from the base of bed sheet 102.

Blanket 108 may be generally rectangular in shape having a top surface, a bottom surface, and borders. Blanket 108 may be made of one layer or a multilayer of fabric material. The fabric material suitable for making blanket 108 may be dependent on the environmental conditions such as a thin sheet of cotton may be used for warm weather while wool and quilted multilayer of fabric may be used in cold weather. The fabric may be natural, man-made, synthetic or blended. Blanket 108 may be plain or with a design including indicia or logos tailored to infants.

Blanket 108 may have several perpendicularly positioned flaps or edge portions such as flaps 109. Flaps may also be orientated at other angles depending on the circumstance and current need. Buttons 110 may be centrally positioned on the flaps 109 of blanket 108 or along the edges of the flaps. Buttons 110 may be used to connect blanket 108 and bed sheet 102 wherein buttons 110 are removably fastened into button holes 114 in slits 112 of bed sheet 102. Buttons 110 along flaps 109 of blanket 108 may be redundant so that either end of blanket 108 be placed by the base of bed sheet 102. Also, if buttons 110 are missing from one end of blanket 108, blanket 108 may then be turned around wherein buttons 110 from the opposite end may be used, extending the life of infant securing system 100. Several pairs of buttons 110 and button holes 114 may be in different sizes and arrangement may be provided to accommodate infants of different lengths.

Bed sheet 102 may include one or more straps made of fabric or flexible plastic strips having a first end and a second end, and first and second face wherein straps are secured to the mattress by wrapping around the underside of the mattress. However plastic is non-limiting and any material in the spirit of the present invention may be used. The first end of the straps contains the second face, which includes loops configured to connect or otherwise communicate with the hooks of second face on the second end of straps to complete the hook and loop fastener. Such material is sold under the trade name “Velcro”. When the first face and second face are connected the connection provides for further securing of bed sheet 102 to the mattress. Other embodiments have buttons and eyelets, draw string, zippers, straps, or ties instead of hook and loop fasteners to secure the first and second face together. In further embodiments a strap may be separate from a bed sheet.

An adjustable safety belt such as safety belt 104 may wrap around bed sheet 102 and mattress. Safety belt 104 may be made of a fabric or flexible plastic and include a strap having a first end and second end, and first and second face. The first end of safety belt 104 contains a first face, which includes loops configured to connect or otherwise communicate with the hooks of second face on a second end of the strap to complete the hook and loop fastener. When the first face and second face are connected the connection provides for securing safety belt 104 to bed sheet 102 and the mattress to secure an infant who is placed or otherwise positioned in adjustable safety wrap such as safety wrap 106. Other embodiments have buttons and eyelets, draw string, zippers, straps, or ties instead of hook and loop fasteners to secure the first face to the second face.

Safety wrap 106 may be sewn or otherwise fastened to the top of safety belt 104 whereby safety wrap 104 may be folded over to help secure the infant in a selected position.

To connect safety belt 104 to safety wrap 106 a series of release buckles may be used including a pair of male components on the arms and cooperating female component on the safety belt 104. Female components may be connected to and positioned inside pockets having openings built into the belt. The pockets may comprise chambers for containing the female components so that the male components may connect with the female components inside of the chamber but an infant would not be able to come in contact with the buckles while secured within the wings. The chambers are preferably of the same size and shape but may be of any shape or size depending on the circumstances.

To fasten the buckles, spring arms of the male component may be inserted into opening of female component with the center guide sliding into the center channel to align the male and female components. The spring arms of the male component expand into release openings of the female component as the buckle is closed with the shoulder of each spring arm engaging the edge of the release opening. To release the buckle, the user presses the spring arms together, to disengage them from release openings and thereby allow the male and female components to separate. Buckles may include a webbing receiving portion for receiving a webbing strap. One or both components of the buckle may include a pair of slots separated by a bar to secure the webbing strap when it is threaded through the first slot, over the bar, back through slot and under the bar. The length of the strap may be adjusted by sliding the strap through the slots. When adjusting is not needed buckle may only have one slot.

In one or more non-limiting embodiments, infant may also be wearing pajamas or another article of clothing that may be fastened to safety wrap 106 by a series of release buckles on the back of the article of clothing that connect to safety wrap 106 in a similar fashion to the connections between the safety belt 104 and safety wrap 106.

In other non-limiting embodiments safety wrap 106 may instead be cotton receiving blankets, cotton muslin wraps, or specialized “winged” baby swaddles that are sewn or otherwise fastened to safety belt 104 whereby the infant may be placed with their arms in to reduce startle reflux, hands to face for self-soothing, and one or two arms out for an easy transition from swaddling.

One method of use may begin with the bands of resilient material being pulled over with bed sheet 102 connected to the mattress, whereby the bands are secured over the outer perimeter of the mattress. Safety belt 104 may then be wrapped and fastened around bed sheet 102 and mattress. Infant is then positioned in place over safety wrap 106. When an infant lies down with their back positioned on top of safety wrap 106, safety wrap 106 may then be pulled and fastened thus securing the infant in place. Blanket 108 may then be positioned over the infant wherein buttons 110 on flaps 109 are fastened to button holes 114 in slits 112 of bed sheet 102 and thus out of reach of the infant. With an infant secured in safety wrap 106 and blanket 108 positioned over infant, the infant may sleep safely and securely within infant securing system 100.

With reference now to FIG. 7, another embodiment of infant securing system 200, according to the present invention is generally designated. FIG. 7 illustrates a top view of a fitted bed sheet such as bed sheet 202 to be fit over or to a mattress or other apparatus wherein bed sheet 202 provides corners that grab the corners of the mattress for a form fit.

Bed sheet 202 may include one or more bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of the bed sheet, whereby the bands may be secured within the bed sheet proximally against the outer perimeter of bed sheet 202. Bed sheet 202 may have sewn openings or hem whereby the resilient material may be inserted into the openings and then secured by the openings being fastened closed. The bands may be in a tensile state such that they add rotational forces against the bed sheet when expanded.

Bed sheet 202 may have one or more strips such as strips 212. Strips 212 of bed sheet 202 run horizontally across the outer edges of the bottom of bed sheet 202, preferably, with the length of strips 212 positioned a long a length the same or less than the as the length of the mattress. In some embodiments strips 212 are spaced from the top or bottom of bed sheet 212 at pre-selected intervals.

An adjustable safety belt such as safety belt 204, in the form of an elongated strip, may wrap around bed sheet 202 and mattress as illustrated in FIG. 8. Safety belt 204 may be made of a fabric or flexible plastic and include a strap having a first end and a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface. To secure safety belt 204 around bed sheet 202 a series of release buckles may be used including a pair of male components on the first end and female components on the second end. Female components may be connected to male components on the underside of bed sheet 202 whereby safety belt 204 is removably secured to bed sheet 202. When the female components and male components are connected the connection provides for securing safety belt 204 to bed sheet 202 and the mattress to secure an infant who is placed or otherwise positioned in adjustable safety wrap such as safety wrap 206 as illustrated in FIG. 9.

Safety wrap 206 may be integral and a part of safety belt 204, sewn, or otherwise fastened to the top surface of safety belt 204 whereby safety wrap 204 may be folded over to help secure the infant in a selected position on their belt. Safety wrap 206 may include a flap 241 configured to pass through a slot such as slot 221 of a securement clip 242 positioned on the top surface of safety belt 204 by one or more Velcro® straps whereby safety wrap 206 may be folded over onto itself. Securement clip 242 may be integral to safety belt 204, sewn, or otherwise fastened to the top of safety belt 204.

In one or more non-limiting embodiments, an infant may be wearing a swaddle such as swaddle 223 as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, pajamas or another article of clothing that may be fastened to securement clip 242 of safety belt 204. Swaddle 223 may include a front panel 251 and back panel 252 or first and second side separated by a zipper chain 234 traversing across a length of the side, top, or bottom of swaddle 223. The term “sides” is used with embodiments directed to the swaddle 223 for convenience, not to suggest defined, or rigid walls. More specifically, the term “sides” as used with these embodiments relates to pliable sections of swaddle 223, separated from one another by a zipper. Swaddle 223 may include or more zipper pull tabs 236 attached to one or more sliders such as slider 240. Slider 240 may be configured to travel along complementary and separated zipper teeth tracks on the first and second sides to create a closed zipper chain 234, such that when closed an infant may be secured in swaddle 223. Conversely, when slider 240 travels in the opposite direction, it separates the complementary zipper tracks thereby opening the chain 234, allowing the infant to be removed from swaddle 223. Front panel 251 may have a flap 261 comprising a first and second end connected to the front surface of front panel 251 such that flap 261 may be pulled away from front panel 251 creating an aperture whereby flap 261 may pass through the aperture between flap 261 and front panel 251 further securing swaddle 223 to safety belt 204.

In a similar fashion, swaddle 223 and securement clip 242 may be connectable by one or more zipper chains 244 as illustrated in FIG. 12, such as two zipper chains 244, traversing across a length of back or one or more flaps 245 on the back panel 252 of swaddle 223 and one or more flaps, strips, or a portion of securement clip 242. One or more zipper pull tabs 246 may be attached to one or more sliders such as sliders 250 whereby sliders 250 may be configured to travel along complementary and separated zipper teeth tracks on swaddle 223 and securement clip 242 to create closed zipper chains 244, securing swaddle to securement clip 242 and safety belt 204. Conversely, when a slider 250 travels in the opposite direction, it separates the complementary zipper tracks thereby opening the chain 244, allowing swaddle 223 to be removed from securement clip 242.

Once flap 241 passes through slot 221 as illustrated in FIG. 13, and flap 241 is folded over as illustrated in FIG. 14, safety belt 204 may be connected to safety wrap 206 by a series of release buckles including a pair of male components on safety wrap 206 and cooperating female component on securement clip 242 or on another part of safety belt 204.
