1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements and structural refinements in Infant carriers, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a carrier of the character herein described, which, being provided with a strap for suspension from a shoulder, may be conveniently employed for carrying an infant at the hip of the user.
An important feature of the invention resides in the construction of the carrier including an infant receptacle provided with means for sustaining an infant in position therein, while other features of the invention lie in its convenient adjustability, in its simplicity, and in its adaptability to economical manufacture.
With the above more important objects and features in view, and such other objects and features as may become apparent as this specification proceeds, the invention consists essentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention broken away, showing the invention from a side opposite to that shown in Figure 2, and
Figure 4 is a transverse section of detail, taken substantially in the plane of the line 4-4 in Figure3.
Like characters of reference are employed to designate like parts in the specification and throughout the several views.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings in detail, the invention consists of an infant carrier which is designated generally by the reference character I 0 and embodies in its construction a substantially shoe-shaped receptacle I 2 including a pair of side walls I 4 which are stitched together at the back end of the receptacle as shown at IS in Figure 2, while the bottom it of the receptacle has an upturned front portion 26 which is stitched to the forward edges of the side walls [4 as at 22. Forward end portions of the side walls [4 are also stitched together at their upper edge, longitudinally of the receptacle as indicated at 24, while an opening 28 is provided at the top of the receptacle to facilitate insertion and removal of the infant.
The infant is removably sustained in position in the receptacle by a pair of transverse straps 28, 30 which extend across the opening 26, the strap 28 being stitched as at 32 at one end there- 2 of to one of the side walls [4, while the remaining end of the strap 28 is stitched to the other side wall 34.
On the other hand, the strap 30 is stitched to one side wall M as at 36 (see Figure 4), while the other end portion of the strap 30 is separably connected by snap fastener elements 38 to a short tab 40 secured to the other side wall.
Needless to say, the entire receptacle I2 is constructed from suitable flexible material such as canvas, or the like, and a transverse reinforcing member 42 extends under the bottom l8 from one side of the receptacle to the other, the member 42 being secured in position by suitable stitching, as indicated at 44.
The receptacle I2 is intended to be carried at the side of a hip as shown in Figure 1, this being effected by suspending the receptacle from a shoulder strap 46. One end portion of this strap is rigidly secured to the reinforcing member 42 under the bottom [8 as indicated at 48, whereupon the strap is doubled under itself as at and extended upwardly along one side wall of the receptacle. The remaining end portion of the strap 46 is provided with a plurality of fastener elements 52 for selective connection, for adjustment purposes, to a fastener element 54 provided on a tab 56 which is secured to the aforementioned strap 30 as shown.
Obviously, a suitable mattress 58 may be positioned in the receptacle l2, although for purposes of simplicity of illustration, this mattress has not been shownin the sectional view of Figure 4.
It is believed that the advantages and use of the invention will be clearly understood from the foregoing disclosure and accordingly, further description thereof at this point is deemed unnecessary.
While in the foregoing there has been shown and described the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
In an infant carrier, an elongated receptacle of flexible material including a bottom wall and side walls on said bottom wall, said side walls being attached together to form a closed back end for the receptacle, said side walls having upper forward portions turned over and above said bottom wall with edges stitched together to form a front, top closure portion for said receptacle, said bottom wall being upturned and stitched to said side walls and to said forward portions to form a front end closure for the receptacle, a transverse reinforcing strap beneath said bottom wall extending from one side wall to the other, and a shoulder strap having one end secured to one end of the reinforcing strap, said shoulder strap being doubled back upon said one 'end and? extending under and: along; said reinforcing strap andupwardly of one side of the receptacle, and means detachably connecting the other end of said shoulder strap to the other side of the receptacle.
