Abstract
An infant sock for crawling infants includes a generally tubular sock member having an upper surface, a lower surface, a toe surface forming a closed end, and an open end. An elastic band is attached at the open end receiving an infant's foot. A gripper member covers at least a portion of the upper surface, the lower surface and the toe surface and has an increased coefficient of friction.
Claims13
An infant sock for crawling infants comprising:
- a sock member sized to fit a foot of an infant learning to crawl, said sock member having an exterior upper surface and an exterior lower surface extending between an open end and a closed end, said closed end having an exterior toe surface;
- and
- a gripper member connected to said sock member, said gripper member covering at least a portion of each of said exterior upper surface, said exterior lower surface and said exterior toe surface, said gripper member having a coefficient of friction greater than a coefficient of friction of any of said exterior surfaces of said sock member whereby said gripper member covering at least one of said at least a portion of said exterior upper surface and said exterior toe surface provides increased traction to an infant crawling on a smooth surface.
