Carrying Sling for a Child

Abstract

A sling that helps to lift a sleeping child from a car seat or stroller without waking the child.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A carrying sling for a person having a longitudinal and a transverse direction, the carrying sling comprising:
 a flexible sheet extending in the longitudinal direction, where the flexible sheet has a posterior end region and an anterior end region;   a posterior handle extending in the longitudinal direction from the posterior end region;   a flexible right wing extending in the transverse direction from the posterior end region, the right wing delimited by a posterior flank and anterior flank which converge at a right distal end,
 the right wing having a right aperture proximate to the right distal end adapted to receive the posterior handle; 
   a flexible left wing extending in the transverse direction from the posterior end region and opposite the right wing, the left wing delimited by a posterior flank and anterior flank which converge at a left distal end,
 the left wing having a left aperture proximate to the left distal end adapted to receive the posterior handle; and 
   at least one anterior handle extending from the anterior end region.   
     
     
         2 . A carrying sling set forth in  claim 1  where the right aperture is formed by a ring fastened to the right distal end and the left aperture is formed by a ring fastened to the left distal end. 
     
     
         3 . A carrying sling as set forth in  claims 1  and  2  where the primary flexible sheet and wings are formed from one continuous sheet of material. 
     
     
         4 . A carrying sling as set forth in  claims 1  and  2  where the at least one anterior handle comprises a right anterior handle extending in the transverse direction from the anterior end region and a left anterior handle extending in the transverse direction from the anterior end region and opposite the right anterior handle. 
     
     
         5 . A carrying sling as set forth in  claims 1  and  2  where the at least one anterior handle and the posterior handle can be securely fastened to the flexible sheet. 
     
     
         6 . A method of producing a carrying sling for a person, the carrying sling having a longitudinal and a transverse direction, said carrying sling comprising:
 a flexible sheet extending in the longitudinal direction, where the flexible sheet has a posterior end region and an anterior end region;   a posterior handle extending in the longitudinal direction from the posterior end region;   a flexible right wing extending in the transverse direction from the posterior end region, the right wing delimited by a posterior flank and anterior flank which converge at a right distal end,
 the right wing having a right aperture proximate to the right distal end adapted to receive the posterior handle; 
   a flexible left wing extending in the transverse direction from the posterior end region and opposite the right wing, the left wing delimited by a posterior flank and anterior flank which converge at a left distal end,
 the left wing having a left aperture proximate to the left distal end adapted to receive the posterior handle; and 
   at least one anterior handle extending from the anterior end region.
