ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a portable baby changing board and more particularly pertains to a new portable diaper changing board for changing a child's diaper on a comfortable and safe surface.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of portable baby changing board is known in the prior art. More specifically, portable baby changing board heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 3,041,638; U.S. Pat. No. 3,489,194; U.S. Pat. No. 4,712,258; U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,150; U.S. Pat. No. Des. 279,428; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 376,689.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new portable diaper changing board. The inventive device includes four support members two of which are end members and two of which are intermediate member which are hingedly attached end-to-end to one another and to the end members with each of the support members having a concave to side and a flat bottom side; and also includes a plurality of fastening members for securing the support members in a folded position; and further includes a restraining member being removeably attachable to the top side of one of the intermediate members for restraining a child thereon; and also includes a handle member securely attached to one of the ends of one of the intermediate members.
In these respects, the portable diaper changing board according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of changing a child's diaper on a comfortable and safe surface.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of portable baby changing board now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new portable diaper changing board construction wherein the same can be utilized for changing a child's diaper on a comfortable and safe surface.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new portable diaper changing board which has many of the advantages of the portable baby changing board mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new portable diaper changing board which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art portable baby changing board, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises four support members two of which are end members and two of which are intermediate member which are hingedly attached end-to-end to one another and to the end members with each of the support members having a concave to side and a flat bottom side; and also includes a plurality of fastening members for securing the support members in a folded position; and further includes a restraining member being removeably attachable to the top side of one of the intermediate members for restraining a child thereon; and also includes a handle member securely attached to one of the ends of one of the intermediate members.
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 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 description 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.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new portable diaper changing board which has many of the advantages of the portable baby changing board mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new portable diaper changing board which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art portable baby changing board, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new portable diaper changing board which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new portable diaper changing board which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board 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 portable diaper changing board economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board for changing a child's diaper on a comfortable and safe surface.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board which includes four support members two of which are end members and two of which are intermediate member which are hingedly attached end-to-end to one another and to the end members with each of the support members having a concave to side and a flat bottom side; and also includes a plurality of fastening members for securing the support members in a folded position; and further includes a restraining member being removeably attachable to the top side of one of the intermediate members for restraining a child thereon; and also includes a handle member securely attached to one of the ends of one of the intermediate members.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board that is easy to carry and take along and gives the parent a device upon which to change the child's diaper.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new portable diaper changing board that is lightweight and can b
