Definitions
- U 8 269/328 5/92 5/317 R table employs a pair of straps and a three-slot-slide 5 269/322 fastener.
- the straps are anchored at one end at oppo- 5H ⁇ m Cl A6lg 13/00 site sides of the dressing table. Both straps are passed [58] Fie'ld "5 through the center slot in the fastener.
- each 128/134 1 250/54 strap is looped back through the adjacent outside fastener slot to form a non-sliding anchoring point at the l 56]
- This invention relates to juvenile furniture. It relates more particularly to an improved safety securement for an infants dressing table.
- a safety strap for holding the baby on the table while the mothers attention is momentarily diverted for one reason or another.
- the simplest type of conventional securement consists of a pair of straps which are anchored at one end at opposite sides of the dressing table and whose other ends buckle together in some fashion. That type of arrangement is not satisfactory because the strap does not snugly encircle the baby. Rather, the infant is free to move sideways under the strap and in some cases he can slide out from under the strap.
- the fastener now pro- Another type of securement which we are aware of consists of four separate strap sections and three double-slot fasteners.
- Onestrap is passed through one slot of each of two fasteners and then both ends of the straps are secured to the underside of the table at opposite sides thereof.
- a second short section of strap is passed through the other slot of the same two fastners and is heat sealed to itself to make a closed loop.
- the present invention aims to provide a securement for an infants dressing table which is relatively inexpensive to make.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such a securement which has minimum'bulk and should be less of a source of discomfort to an infant.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a securement for an infants dressing table which has a relatively few number of separate parts and hence is inexpensive to make.
- the securement is designed for use on an infants dressing table having a flat, preferably padded, surface.
- a table such as this is disclosed in application Ser. No. 103,956, filed Jan. 4, 1971, entitled Infants Dressing Table. It comprises a pair of straps which are secured at one end underneath. opposite sides of the dressing table. Each strap is then passed down through the side slots of a special three-slot fastener which will be described in detail later. Each strap is then passed up through a center slot in the fastener and pulled taut so that the fastener is retained by the two straps near the vides a non-slidable anchor point at the center of the dressing table.
- the free ends of the two straps are engaged around the waist of the baby and buckled together using a conventional two-slot fastener.
- the safety strap snugly encircles the infants waist so that he cannot slip out.
- he is held firmly right at the center of the table, he can turn and roll to some extent about the anchoring point so that he still has freedom of movement.
- the present arrangement has fewer parts than conventional securing straps and requires fewer heat seals to secure the straps so that its cost is relatively low.
- FIG. 1 is a' perspective view, with parts cut away, showing an infants dressing table outfitted with a safety securement embodying the principles of this-invention;
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view showing the securement in greater detail
- FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of the three-slot fastener shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a front perspective view showing the twoslot fasteners used to buckle the straps around the baby.
- a conventional infants dressing table 10 has a flat top surface 10a.
- a pad 12 covers the top for the babys comfort.
- the improved securement is shown generally at 14 restraining an infant shown in dotted lines at 17 near the middle of the table. While the securement 14 holds the baby securely in place, the child is still able to roll and turn so that he does not lack freedom of movement, a condition which might tend tofrustrate him.
- the securement M' is composed of a pair of straps 16 and 18.
- the end 18a of strap 18 is anchored at a point underneath the right hand side of the table by a screw 22.
- the corresponding end of strap 16 is anchored in a similar fashion underneath the opposite side of table top 10a.
- fastener 24 has three slots 26a, 26b, and 260, the slots being somewhat longer than the straps are wide.
- the free ends of straps 16 and 18 are passed down through the side slots 26b and 26c respectively.
- strap 16 is looped up through the center slot 26a.
- Means are provided for securing together the free ends 16b and 18b of the two straps when it is desired to restrain the baby 17 as shown in FIG. 1. More particularly, a'conventional two-slot buckle type fastener 28 is secured to the end of strap 16. As best seen in FIG. 4, fastener 28 includes a pair of slots 32a and 32b. The strap end 16b is passed up through slot 32a and then down through slot 32!). The end 16b of the of the strap is then folded back on itself and then anchored to itself by heat seals 34. 7
- the infant When it is desired to use the dressing table, the infant is placed on the pad 12 on top of fastener 24 as shown in FIG. 1. Following this, the free ends of the straps 16 and 18 are brought up around to the babys waist. The strap end 18b is then passed up through the fastener slot 32b and down through the fastener slot 32a. When the strap end 18b is pulled fairly tight, the straps l6 and 18 snugly encircle the babys body so that he cannot slide free; yet, he still has a degree of freedom of movement on the table.
- the present arrangement has only three parts, not including the conventional buckle 28. Moreover, these parts are relatively inexpensive, the straps l6 and 18 being made of plastic and fasteners 24 and 28 consisting of simple metal stampings. In additon, the anchoring point at the center of the dressing table is not bulky and the relatively soft straps l6 and 18 are situated between the metal fastener 24 and the babys back. Therefore the arrangement should cause no discomfit to the infant.
- a securement for an infants dressing table comprising A. a table, B. a first strap; C. means for securing one end of the first strap to the table top at one side thereof; D. a second strap; E. means for securing one end of the second strap to the table top at the opposite side thereof; F. a fastener 1. having three slots arranged to receive the straps,
