Crawlers

USPTO Application #: 20080096457
Title: Crawlers
Abstract: Crawlers is a padded device with a fastening mechanism for placement around a child's knees. The preferred embodiment of the invention consists of a fabric panel with padding inside, a figure on the outer layer of the fabric panel with a flap on top for insertion of a noisemaker, a velcro hook strip and a velcro loop strip on opposite ends of the fabric panel and a frill layer on top and bottom of the fabric panel. To use the preferred embodiment of the invention, a person will simply line up the front of the fabric panel (the side having the figure) with the front of the child's bare or clothed knees. The back of the fabric panel is positioned along the back of the knee with the device being securely attached by means of the velcro hook strip and velcro loop strip. The child is then free to crawl. The foam padding within the fabric panel prevents the child's knees from getting sore while crawling. The noisemaker helps encourage the child to crawl due to the entertaining sound it emits while also letting parents know where the child is at all times by listening for the sound. If noise during crawling is not desirable, the parents may open the flap on the figure and remove the noisemaker.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001]This Non-Provisional Patent Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/853,119 entitled "Crawlers" filed on Oct. 20, 2006.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002]The disclosures made herein relate generally to the baby and child accessories industry. The invention discussed herein is in the general classification of crawling devices for children.

BACKGROUND

[0003]Every parent looks forward to their child's first steps. However, most children have to crawl before they walk. Unfortunately, the act of crawling can be painful for a child. A child's knees are unaccustomed to being worked in such a manner and can become sore, especially after crawling on hard surfaces. Abrasions often form on a child's knees from repeated crawling on hard or jagged surfaces.

[0004]Some parents attempt to cushion their child's knees with self-made padding to prevent this type of injury. Padding often is taped onto a child's knees or put on with some other ineffective fastening mechanism. As a result, the padding comes off of the child's knees easily. It also often does not cover the entirety of the child's knees.

[0005]Hence, there is a need in the art for a convenient to use, inexpensive and durable device for protecting a child's knees when he crawls while also encouraging him to crawl.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0006]Crawlers is a padded device with a fastening mechanism for placement around a child's knees.

[0007]The preferred embodiment of the invention consists of a fabric panel with padding inside, a figure on the outer layer of the fabric panel with a flap on top for insertion of a noisemaker, a velcro hook strip and a velcro loop strip on opposite ends of the fabric panel and a frill layer on top and bottom of the fabric panel.

[0008]The principal object of this invention is to provide a device that protects a child's knees from abrasion or injury during crawling.

[0009]Another object of this invention is to provide a device that covers and protects a child's knees in their entirety and not just a portion of them.

[0010]Another object of this invention is to provide a device that encourages a child to crawl due to the noisemaker placed inside the padding.

[0011]Another object of this invention is to provide a device that is aesthetically pleasing to the child due to the figure placed on the outside of the padding.

[0012]Another object of this invention is to provide a device that allows parents to easily monitor the location of their child based on the sound emanating from the noisemaker.

[0013]Another object of this invention is to provide a device that can easily be attached to a baby's knees.

[0014]Another object of this invention is to provide an affordable device for protecting a child's knees from abrasion or injury during crawling.

[0015]Another object of this invention is to provide a durable device for protecting a child's knees from abrasion or injury during crawling.

[0016]Another object of this invention is to provide a safe device for protecting a child's knees from abrasion or injury during crawling.

[0017]Yet another object of this invention is to provide a reliable device for protecting a child's knees from abrasion or injury during crawling.
