Abstract

An improved wrap and infant support system that is unobtrusive and includes a frame having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion and lower portion are selectively secured to one another. The upper portion of the frame defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving the head of an infant, and the lower portion of the frame defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving the body of an infant. The upper portion and the lower portion of the frame are arranged to form a substantially planar surface relative to one another.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for supporting an infant, comprising:
 a frame having an upper portion and a lower portion;   the upper portion of the frame defining a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a head of an infant;   the lower portion of the frame defining a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a body of the infant; and   a wrap for receiving the frame;   whereby the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame are arranged to form a substantially planar surface relative to one another.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a top cover disposed on the upper portion of the frame. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower portion has two distal ends that are in a spaced apart arrangement. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a neck portion of the frame that is positioned between the upper portion and lower portion for receiving a neck cover. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pocket disposed on the wrap for receiving the feet of an infant. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of sheaths disposed on the wrap for receiving the frame. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pouch disposed on the wrap for receiving the frame. 
     
     
         8 . A system for supporting an infant, comprising:
 a frame having an upper portion, a neck portion, and a lower portion;   the upper portion of the frame defining a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a head of an infant;   the lower portion of the frame defining a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a body of an infant;   the neck portion of the frame engaging the upper portion and the lower portion for receiving a neck of the infant; and   a wrap for receiving the frame;   whereby the upper portion, the neck portion, and the lower portion of the frame are arranged to form a substantially planar surface relative to one another.   
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the lower portion has two distal ends that are in a spaced apart arrangement. 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the wrap has sides for covering the infant placed therein. 
     
     
         11 . The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the upper portion and lower portion of the frame are selectively secured to one another. 
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 8 , further comprising a cover disposed on the frame. 
     
     
         13 . The system according to  claim 8 , further comprising a locking mechanism for selectively securing the upper portion and lower portion of the frame to one another. 
     
     
         14 . The system according to  claim 8 , further comprising a pair of sheaths disposed within the wrap for receiving the frame. 
     
     
         15 . The system according to  claim 8 , further comprising a side locking mechanism for selectively securing the upper portion and the lower portion of the frame. 
     
     
         16 . The system according to  claim 14 , wherein the wrap contains a pouch for receiving the frame. 
     
     
         17 . A system for supporting an infant, comprising:
 a frame having an upper portion, a neck portion, and a lower portion, whereby the upper portion of the frame is selectively secured to the lower portion of the frame;   the upper portion of the frame defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a head of an infant and having a predetermined diameter that is greater than the diameter of the infant's head the upper portion is designed to receive;   the lower portion of the frame defines a substantially elliptical shape for receiving a body of an infant while allowing the legs of the infant to protrude off an edge of the lower portion, but providing support to the body of the infant and having a predetermined diameter that is greater than the diameter of the infant's body the lower portion is designed to receive;   the neck portion of the frame engages the upper portion to the lower portion for receiving a neck of the infant; and   whereby the upper portion, the neck portion, and the lower portion of the frame are arranged to form a substantially planar surface relative to one another.   
     
     
         18 . The system according to  claim 17 , further comprising a locking mechanism for selectively securing the upper portion of the frame to the lower portion of the frame. 
     
     
         19 . The system according to  claim 17 , further comprising a wrap for receiving the frame. 
     
     
         20 . The system according to  claim 19 , further comprising a sheath disposed on the wrap for receiving the frame.
