Abstract
An infant bather having a top housing and a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing. The top housing has a cradle with a first surface and a second surface and defines at least one aperture allowing a fluid to flow between the first surface of the cradle and the second surface of the cradle through the at least one aperture. The bottom housing has a basin with an interior surface and exterior surface. The second surface of the cradle coincides with the interior surface of the basin such that the fluid held within the basin submerges a portion of both the first and second surfaces of the cradle.
Claims15
An infant bather, comprising:
- a top housing having an upper circumferential border;
- the top housing further having a cradle, disposed interior of the upper circumferential border of the top housing, with a first surface and a second surface, the cradle defining at least one aperture allowing a fluid to flow between the first surface of the cradle and the second surface of the cradle through the at least one aperture;
- and
- a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing wherein the upper circumferential border of the top housing is adjacent to an upper circumferential border of the bottom housing;
- the bottom housing further having a basin with an interior surface and exterior surface;
- wherein the detachably secured bottom housing further comprises at least one flexible tab that mates with at least one side opening of the top housing;
- wherein the second surface of the cradle coincides with the interior surface of the basin such that the fluid held within the basin submerges a portion of both the first and second surfaces of the cradle.
An infant bather, comprising:
- a top housing having an upper circumferential border;
- the top housing further having a cradle with a first curvature defining a lowest portion of the cradle, the cradle having a series of holes;
- wherein the cradle further defines at least one elongated channel running along a subset of the series of holes, the elongated channel adapted to direct and drain fluid from a concave volume of the cradle;
- and
- a bottom housing detachably secured to the top housing wherein the upper circumferential border of the upper housing is adjacent to an upper circumferential border of the bottom housing, the bottom housing having a basin with a second curvature defining a fluid threshold,
- wherein the first curvature is parallel to the second curvature such that the fluid threshold lies above the lowest portion of the cradle.
