Claims3
A belt-mounted apparatus to facilitate carrying an infant carrier seat or similar rigid container, said apparatus comprising:
- a. An inverted U-shaped belt clip having an inner side and an outer side, said outer side extending approximately 2 to 3 times the length of said inner side, each side having a top and a bottom end, the top end of each side being connected together to form a slot to accommodate a belt;
- b. an outwardly-extending projection attached to said outer side approximately halfway between the top end and the bottom end of said outer side and extending outward from said outer side with an upward slant of 5 to 30 degrees from the perpendicular to said outer side and extending outward approximately one inch;
- and
- c. a support cross member comprised of that portion of said outer side below said outwardly-extending projection, said support cross member bending inward until it approximately touches a plane formed by said inner side and then bending outward about 10 degrees with the width of said support cross member increasing to approximately 1.5 to 2 times the width of the outer side above the outwardly-extending projection.
