ABSTRACT:
An inclined sleeper assembly for an infant to reduce the risk of gastric and breathing complications during nursing and sleep. The assembly provides a non-slip surface whose angle of inclination can be varied from horizontal up to30°or more. A rigid platform is pivotally attached to a base frame and may move from a position generally parallel with the base frame to a position of maximum inclination or any intermediate position. Supporting the inclined platform are a pair of slide rods pivotally connected to the base frame at one end and slidingly engaging two releasable clamps on an opposite end. The releasable clamp structure comprises a spring preferenced plate between the sliding clamp enclosures surrounding each of the two slide rods. This permits the user to adjust the inclination of the sleep surface with little disturbance to the infant.
