Abstract
A sling assembly includes a sling that may be worn. The sling may support a child thereby facilitating the child to be carried. A pair of straps is provided and each of the straps is coupled to the sling. Each of the straps may be extended around a user thereby facilitating the sling to be suspended from the user. A pair of couplers is provided and each of the couplers is coupled to an associated one of the pair of straps. Each of the couplers is complementary such that straps are matable.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . A sling assembly configured to carry a child, said assembly comprising:
a sling being configured to be worn, said sling being configured to support a child thereby facilitating the child to be carried; a pair of straps, each of said straps being coupled to said sling, each of said straps being configured to be extended around a user thereby facilitating said sling to be suspended from the user; and a pair of couplers, each of said couplers being coupled to an associated one of said pair of straps, each of said couplers being complementary such that straps are matable.
2 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said sling has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having an outer surface, said peripheral wall having a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side.
3 . The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said bottom wall has a pair of openings extending therethrough wherein each of said openings is configured to have one of the child's legs extended therethrough thereby facilitating the child to sit upon said bottom wall, said openings being spaced apart from each other, each of said openings being positioned adjacent to an associated one of said first lateral side and said second lateral side, each of said openings having a bounding edge, said sling being comprised of a resiliently compressible and deformable material.
4 . The assembly according to claim 3 , further comprising a pair of pillows, each of said pillows being coupled to said bottom wall, each of said pillows being coextensive with said bounding edge of an associated one of said openings wherein each of said pillows is configured to enhance comfort of the child's legs in each of the openings.
5 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
said sling has a first lateral side; and said pair of straps includes a first strap, said first strap being coupled to said outer surface corresponding to said first lateral side wherein said first strap is configured to be extended along a back of the user and upwardly over a shoulder of the user such that said sling is suspended on a side of the user, said first strap having a distal end with respect to said first lateral side.
6 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
said sling has a second lateral side; and said pair of straps includes a second strap, said second strap being coupled to said outer surface corresponding to said second lateral side, said second strap being configured to be extended along a chest of the user to engage said first strap thereby facilitating said sling to be suspended on the user's side, said second strap having a distal end with respect to said second lateral side.
7 . The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
said pair of straps includes a first strap and a second strap, said first strap having a distal end, said second strap having a distal end; and said pair of couplers includes a first coupler and a second coupler, said first coupler being positioned on said distal end of said first strap, said second coupler being positioned on said distal end of said second strap.
8 . The assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising a pad being positioned on said first strap, said pad being positioned between a first lateral side and said distal end of said first strap wherein said pad is configured to abut the user's shoulder when said first strap is extended over the user's shoulder.
9 . A sling assembly configured to carry a child, said assembly comprising:
a sling being configured to be worn, said sling being configured to support a child thereby facilitating the child to be carried, said sling having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having an outer surface, said peripheral wall having a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side, said bottom wall having a pair of openings extending therethrough wherein each of said openings is configured to have one of the child's legs extended therethrough thereby facilitating the child to sit upon said bottom wall, said openings being spaced apart from each other, each of said openings being positioned adjacent to an associated one of said first lateral side and said second lateral side, each of said openings having a bounding edge, said sling being comprised of a resiliently compressible and deformable material; a pair of pillows, each of said pillows being coupled to said bottom wall, each of said pillows being coextensive with said bounding edge of an associated one of said openings wherein each of said pillows is configured to enhance comfort of the child's legs in each of the openings; a pair of straps, each of said straps being coupled to said sling, each of said straps being configured to be extended around a user thereby facilitating said sling to be suspended from the user, said pair of straps including a first strap and a second strap, said first strap being coupled to said outer surface corresponding to said first lateral side wherein said first strap is configured to be extended along a back of the user and upwardly over a shoulder of the user such that said sling is suspended on a side of the user, said first strap having a distal end with respect to said first lateral side, said second strap being coupled to said outer surface corresponding to said second lateral side, said second strap being configured to be extended along a chest of the user to engage said first strap thereby facilitating said sling to be suspended on the user's side, said second strap having a distal end with respect to said second lateral side; a pair of couplers, each of said couplers being coupled to an associated one of said pair of straps, each of said couplers being complementary such that straps are matable, said pair of couplers including a first coupler and a second coupler, said first coupler being positioned on said distal end of said first strap, said second coupler being positioned on said distal end of said second strap; and a pad being positioned on said first strap, said pad being positioned between said first lateral side and said distal end of said first strap wherein said pad is configured to abut the user's shoulder when said first strap is extended over the user's shoulder.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
