Abstract
An arm rest for the handle of an infant carrier is suited to support the infant carrier from a user's forearm upon a primary support with a secondary support at the rear of the primary support and disposed transversely to the primary support for interacting with the user's upper arm. A receptor attached to the top of the primary support receives the handle of an infant carrier and clamps to it. The receptor swivels with respect to the primary support to allow the user to enjoy natural arm movement while carrying the infant carrier.
Claims23
A supplemental support for use in combination with an infant carrier having a body and a superstructure handle, for supporting the infant carrier from its handle upon the supplemental support at the crook of the user's arm, comprising:
- a two-directional pad system formed of first and second pad surfaces arranged at a near right angle to one another, including both a first forearm-engaging pad surface that is longitudinally elongated between forward and rearward ends, configured in a longitudinally elongated arc that is downwardly open when said first pad surface is disposed in a horizontal orientation, such that in use the first pad surface is engagable atop a user's forearm when disposed along said dimension of longitudinal elongation;
- and a second, rearward facing, upper-arm-engaging pad surface arranged transversely to said longitudinal dimension of said first pad surface, positioned near said rearward end thereof, and establishing therewith said two-directional pad system that, when in use, is engagable in the crook of a user's arm;
- and
- a handle receptor positioned above the first pad surface, having a receiving element in transverse orientation to the longitudinal dimension of the first pad surface such that when in use by receiving a handle of an infant carrier in the receiving element, such handle is received in transverse orientation to the longitudinal dimension of the first pad surface, at a position above the first pad surface.
A supplemental support for use in combination with an infant carrier having a body and a superstructure handle, for supporting the infant carrier from its handle on the supplemental support at the crook of the user's arm, comprising:
- a two-directional panel system formed of first and second panels arranged at a near right angle to one another, including both a first forearm-engaging panel that is longitudinally elongated between forward and rearward ends, configured in a longitudinally elongated arc that is downwardly open when said first panel is disposed in a horizontal orientation, such that in use the first panel is engagable atop a user's forearm when disposed along said dimension of longitudinal elongation;
- and a second, rearward facing, upper-arm-engaging panel arranged transversely to said longitudinal dimension of said first panel, positioned near said rearward end thereof, and establishing therewith said two-directional panel system that, when in use, is engagable in the crook of a user's arm;
- and
- a handle receptor positioned above the first panel, having a receiving element in transverse orientation to the longitudinal dimension of the first panel such that when in use by receiving a handle of an infant carrier in the receiving element, such handle is received in transverse orientation to the longitudinal dimension of the first panel, at a position above the first panel.
