Abstract
Crib liners configured to reduce entanglement of an infant's appendages between vertical slats of a crib, and methods for fabricating such crib liners are described. The crib liner includes a bottom layer dimensioned to cover a lower surface of a crib and a side panel formed of a breathable material extending generally perpendicular from the bottom layer. The side panel is continuous in construction such that if forms a closed circuit around the bottom layer and is configured to form a closed circuit around the perimeter of the crib and extend beyond the top surface of the crib railing. Stays are attached at intervals along an edge of the side panel. The stays are configured to hold the crib liner in place relative to the crib.
Claims21
A crib liner, comprising:
- a bottom layer configured to cover a lower surface of a crib having a crib railing;
- a side panel formed of a breathable material extending generally perpendicular from the bottom layer, the side panel being continuous in construction such that if forms a closed circuit around the bottom layer and is configured to form a closed circuit around the perimeter of the crib and extend beyond the top surface of the crib railing;
- and
- a plurality of stays attached at intervals along an edge of the side panel, the stays being configured to hold the crib liner in place relative to the crib.
A crib liner, comprising:
- a bottom layer configured to cover a lower surface of a crib having a crib railing, the bottom layer forming a pocket dimensioned to receive and hold a mattress therein;
- a side panel formed of a breathable material extending generally perpendicular from the bottom layer, the side panel being continuous in construction such that if forms a closed circuit around the bottom layer and is configured to form a closed circuit around the perimeter of the crib and extend beyond the top surface of the crib railing;
- and
- a plurality of stays attached at intervals along an edge of the side panel, the stays being configured to hold the crib liner in place relative to the crib.
-20. (canceled)
A crib liner comprising:
- a bottom layer formed of a nonelastic material and being configured to cover a lower surface of a crib having a crib railing and to be positioned between the lower surface of the crib and a mattress;
- a side panel formed of a breathable, elastic material extending generally perpendicular from the bottom layer, the side panel being continuous in construction such that if forms a closed circuit around the bottom layer and is configured to form a closed circuit around the perimeter of the crib and extend beyond the top surface of the crib railing, the side panel being configured to encircle a perimeter of the mattress;
- and
- a plurality of stays attached at intervals along an edge of the side panel, the stays being made of a nonelastic material and configured to hold the crib liner in place relative to the crib.
