ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a high chair drop cloth system and more particularly pertains to rendering more convenient clean-up by a child care provider after feeding time.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of high chair accessories is known in the prior art. More specifically, high chair accessories heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of more convenient clean-up after feeding time are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,940,620 to Silk et al. discloses Highchair Food Collection. U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,895 to Deaver discloses an Absorbent Apron for High Chairs and the Like. U.S. Pat. No. Des. 330,988 to Robbins, III discloses a Protective Floor Mat for Use With a Chair. U.S. Pat. No. 3,445,083 to Moss discloses a Floor Mat. U.S. Pat. No. 5,127,367 to Starowitz, Jr. discloses an Animal Mat. European Patent Application No. 87307765.5 to Heuga Holding BV discloses a Floor Mat and Method of Manufacture.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a high chair drop cloth that allows convenient clean-up during feeding time as described herein.
In this respect, the high chair drop cloth according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of rendering more convenient clean-up by a child care provider after feeding time.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved high chair drop cloth which can be used for rendering more convenient clean-up by a child care provider after feeding time. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of high chair accessories now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved high chair drop cloth. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a new and improved high chair drop cloth system for rendering more convenient clean-up by a child care provider after feeding time including a sheet of absorbent paper in a generally square configuration having an upper surface and a lower surface. The sheet is fabricated of a biodegradable paper. The lower surface is positioned on a floor beneath a high chair during feeding time. Also provided is a strip of adhesive material coupled to the periphery of the sheet on the lower surface. A strip of tear-off material is adapted to be positioned over the adhesive material and to be removed prior to use. The adhesive material ensures retained positioning of the sheet of paper in proper orientation during feeding. Also provided is a dispenser for receiving a roll of a plurality of sheets of paper with score lines between the sheets for easy separation prior to use.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth which has all of the advantages of the prior art high chair accessories and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth which is of durable and reliable constructions.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such high chair drop cloth economically available to the buying public.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a high chair drop cloth for rendering more convenient clean-up by a child care provider after feeding time.
Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved high chair drop cloth system including a sheet of absorbent in a generally rectangular configuration having an upper surface and a lower surface. The system also includes a strip of adhesive material, a strip of tear-off material adapted to be positioned over the adhesive material, and a dispenser for receiving a roll of a plurality of sheet material.
These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.
