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.).
Claims15
An apparatus for use with a mattress comprising:
- a planar body portion configured as a sheet for use proximate the mouth of a human being as the human being is lying thereon, wherein the planar body portion comprises a plurality of layers of material laid flat against each other to provide at least upper and lower surfaces of the body portion, wherein the plurality of layers of material comprise:
- a layer of a breathable integrated padded mesh material, wherein the breathable integrated padded mesh material comprises a front substructure, a back substructure, and a pile substructure integrated with and extending between the front and back substructures, wherein each of the substructures allows air to substantially move effectively therethrough;
- and
- a first layer of material laid flat against the layer of breathable integrated padded mesh material, the first layer of material decreasing air movement through the planar body portion in a wet state to a greater degree than the layer of the breathable integrated padded mesh material.

An apparatus comprising:
- a planar body portion configured as a substantial portion of one of a changing pad, a play mat, a sleeping mat, and a bath mat, wherein the planar body portion comprises a plurality of layers of material laid flat against each other to provide at least upper and lower surfaces of the body portion, wherein the plurality of layers of material comprise:
- a layer of breathable integrated padded mesh material, wherein the layer of breathable integrated padded mesh material comprises a front substructure, a back substructure, and a pile substructure integrated with and extending between the front and back substructures, wherein each of the substructures allows air to substantially move effectively therethrough;
- and
- at least one layer of material coupled to the layer of breathable integrated padded mesh material such that the at least one layer of material is adjacent to at least one of the front substructure or the back substructure, the at least one layer of material decreasing air movement through the planar body portion in a wet state to a greater degree than the layer of the breathable integrated padded mesh material.
