Abstract
A crib shield system includes one or more panels to be used with crib. The panels are formed, at least in part, of a mesh-type material (e.g., an integrated padded mesh material) that includes openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe therethrough. Further, the integrated padded mesh material may be used with one or more other apparatus (e.g., a blanket, a toy, etc.).
Claims25
A crib shield system for a crib, wherein the crib comprises a first and second side rail, a headboard, and a footboard connected and sized for receiving a mattress therein, wherein at least one of the first and second side rails comprises a top bar and a plurality of spaced support elements, wherein the crib shield system comprises:
- a first and second side panel, wherein each of the first and second side panels is configured as a separate panel to cover at least a substantial portion of a corresponding side rail with a mesh-type material comprising openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe therethrough, wherein the first panel is not connected to the second panel, wherein each of the first and second side panels comprises at least one fastening apparatus that extends along an entire edge of the side panel to attach the side panel to the top bar of a corresponding side rail, and further wherein each of the first and second side panels comprises at least one other fastening apparatus for securing the side panel to the corresponding side rail.
A crib shield system for a crib, the crib comprising a first and second side rail, a headboard, and a footboard connected and sized for receiving a mattress therein, wherein each of the first and second side rails extend along a length of the crib between the headboard and the footboard, and further wherein at least one of the first and second side rails is formed of a top bar and a plurality of spaced support elements, the crib shield system comprising:
- a first panel, wherein the first panel is configured to cover at least a portion of the first side rail and to extend along substantially the length of the crib, wherein the first panel is formed substantially of a mesh-type material having openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe therethrough, wherein the first panel comprises at least one fastening apparatus to attach a first end of the first panel to a first portion of the first side rail, and further wherein the first panel comprises at least one other fastening apparatus for securing a second end opposite of the first end of the first panel to a second portion of the first side rail;
- and
- a second panel separate from and not connected to the first panel, wherein the second panel is configured to cover at least a portion of the second side rail and to extend at least along the length of the crib, wherein the second panel is substantially formed of a mesh-type material having openings too small to permit an infant to insert a finger or toe therethrough, wherein the second panel comprises at least one fastening apparatus to attach a first end of the second panel to the crib, and further wherein the second panel comprises at least one other fastening apparatus for securing a second end opposite of the first end of the second panel to the crib.
A crib shield system for a crib, wherein the crib comprises at least a first side rail, a headboard, and a footboard, wherein at least the first side rail comprises a plurality of spaced support elements for use in defining an interior boundary extending proximate and around a periphery of a mattress disposed within the crib, wherein the system comprises at least one panel configured to cover at least a portion of the plurality of spaced support elements of the first side rail and to extend along at least a portion of the interior boundary, wherein the at least one panel is formed substantially of a breathable integrated padded mesh material, wherein the at least one panel comprises at least one fastening apparatus for securing the at least one panel to the crib, and further wherein the at least one panel comprises a width that is less than the length of a spaced support element of the first side rail that is in a vertical position as part of the crib.
