Abstract
An infant cover-up garment having a generally oval shape with an elastic perimeter defining an open back, an adjustable front closure with an aperture for the face of an infant, and a plurality of elastic fastener loops secured to and distributed about the elastic perimeter for enabling the garment to be releasably secured to a number of different infant carriers or stationary holding devices.
Claims16
An infant cover-up adapted to be removably secured to an infant carrier device, said device having a rim formed about the perimeter of the carrier device, and at least one protrusion extending from said rim, said cover-up comprising:
- a fabric body having an adjustable front opening, the opening being adjustable between (i) an enlarged size at least large enough so that an infant can be placed through the front opening and into the carrier device while the cover-up is secured to the carrier device, and (ii) a reduced size small enough such that substantially all of the infant's body is covered while the infant is in the carrier device;
- a closure device for adjusting the size of the front opening between the enlarged size and the reduced size;
- an elastic perimeter on said fabric body defining an open back, said elastic perimeter engaging said rim to removably secure said cover-up to said carrier device;
- and
- at least one fastener loop formed separately from said fabric body and secured to said perimeter, said loop extending away from and in substantially perpendicular relationship to said elastic perimeter, said fastener loop adapted to cooperate with said protrusion to secure said cover-up to said carrier device while it is in use, whereby said cover-up is retained on said carrier device while an infant is placed through and removed from said front opening.
An infant cover-up adapted to be secured to an infant carrier device, said device having a rim formed about the perimeter of the carrier device, and at least one fastener along said rim, said cover-up comprising:
- a fabric body;
- a perimeter on said body defining an open back, said perimeter engaging said rim to secure said cover-up to said carrier device;
- and
- at least one fastener formed separately from said fabric body and extending away from and in substantially perpendicular relationship to said perimeter on said body, said fastener being adapted to cooperate with said fastener to secure said cover-up to said carrier device while it is in use.
An infant cover-up adapted to be secured to an infant carrier device, said device having a rim formed about the perimeter of the carrier device, said cover-up comprising:
- a fabric body having an adjustable front opening, the opening being adjustable between (i) an enlarged size at least large enough so that an infant can be placed through and removed from the front opening, and (ii) a reduced size small enough such that substantially all of the infant's body is covered while the infant is in the carrier device;
- and
- a closure device for adjusting the size of the front opening between the enlarged size and the reduced size,
- said fabric body having an elastic perimeter defining an open back, said elastic perimeter having at least one fastener formed separately from the fabric body and extending away from and in substantially perpendicular relationship to said perimeter, said elastic perimeter adapted to cooperate with said rim to secure said cover-up to said carrier device while it is in use, whereby said cover-up is retained on said carrier device while an infant is placed through and removed from said front opening.
An infant cover-up adapted to be secured to an infant carrier device comprising:
- a fabric body having an adjustable front opening, the opening being adjustable between (i) an enlarged size at least large enough so that an infant can be placed through the front opening and into the carrier device while the cover-up is secured to the carrier device, and (ii) a reduced size small enough such that substantially all of the infant's body is covered while the infant is in the carrier device;
- perimeter means for providing a bottom portion on said fabric body and for defining an open back;
- and
- at least one fastener formed separately from said fabric body and extending away from and in substantially perpendicular relationship to said perimeter for engaging said carrier device and for securing said cover-up to said carrier device while it is in use, whereby said cover-up is retained on said carrier device while an infant is placed through and removed from said front opening.
An infant cover-up adapted to be secured to an infant carrier device, said device having a rim formed about the perimeter of the carrier device, said cover-up comprising:
- a fabric body having an adjustable front opening, the opening being adjustable between (i) an enlarged size at least large enough so that an infant can be placed through and removed from the front opening, and (ii) a reduced size small enough such that substantially all of the infant's body is covered while the infant is in the carrier device;
- a perimeter on said fabric body defining an open back, said perimeter cooperating with said rim of said cover-up;
- and
- at least one fastener formed separately from said fabric body and extending away from and in substantially perpendicular relationship to said perimeter to secure said cover-up to said carrier device.
