Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved baby garment, and in particular to a garment for a baby in the age range 0-24 months and being in the form of an all-in-one type garment commonly referred to as a playsuit or sleepsuit.
- the playsuits according to this invention may be used to clothe babies who can walk, but primarily the invention is concerned with clothing for babies who continue to spend a large proportion of their waking hours crawling, in particular over carpeted floors and the like.
- Such playsuits are all-in-one type garments which are manufactured in a substantially inelastic fabric, such as a soft cotton (80%) /polyester (20%) mix which is significantly more soft and felt-like on the outside of the suit than on the inside, which is nevertheless soft so as not to irritate the baby's skin.
- the reason for the increased softness on one side of the fabric as opposed to the other side may be as a result of the manner in which the fabric is needled or woven or as a result of some post weaving technique such as brushing or carding.
- the outer facing surface of the fabric is that which is initially felt and touched by potential purchasers of the garment, and therefore the reason for its increased softness may be purely sensual.
- the material is not elastic in that it cannot be extended beyond a predetermined limit which is dependent solely on the warp and weft of said fabric.
- the material used in the weaving is not elastic, and this inelastic behaviour is one of the primary factors of the discomfort and inconvenience which can be caused to babies who crawl regularly in garments manufactured in these types of fabric.
- FIG. 1 typically consist of a back portion 2 which is shaped roughly according to the outline of the torso and legs of the body of a baby, and a front portion 4 which is roughly the same shape as the back portion and stitched thereto along its side edges, 6, 8.
- a pair of arms 10, 12 is provided, also consisting of front and back portions, and the arms are stitched into the suit by stitching the rear portion of the arms to the rear body portion and by stitching the front portion of the arms to the front body portion, at 14, 16. This defines two openings in the interior of the suit through which the baby's arms can pass as the baby is dressed therein.
- the front body portion is divided into two parts 4A, 4B down a line bisecting said front portion, and a series of press studs 18 are provided adjacent the inside central edges 20A, 20B of the front portion in order that after the baby is dressed in the garment, essentially by being placed inside the garment through its open front portion and having the respective sides of said front portion of the garment wrapped around it, the press studs on the inner side edges of the front portion can be interengaged so that the garment securely surrounds the baby.
- the leg portions 22, 24 of the garment terminate in what are commonly referred to as covered feet portions 26.
- a panel of material 26 is stitched around its entire periphery to the end edges of the front and rear portions 24A, 24B respectively where they terminate in the leg region of the suit. It is these covered feet which are the cause of many of the playsuits deficiencies as regards the crawling motion of babies.
- a baby garment including at least a body portion and left and right leg portions attached to the body portion, at least a part of said body portion and/or said left and/or right leg portions having releasable fastening means thereon to allow a baby to be placed into and removed from the garment, characterised in that the left and right leg portions terminate in sock portions having an increased elasticity compared to the material from which the remainder of the garment is predominantly made.
- a sock portion is attached to each of the left and right leg portions by attachment means.
- the sock portions are preferably attached by stitching but the attachment means can include any or any combination of stitching, VELCRO, one or more hook and eyes, zips, press studs, buttons and/or the like.
- the body portion of the garment is generally shaped according to the outline of the torso of a baby. It typically consists of a back portion, and left and right side portions which form the front portion of the garment.
- the back portion has left and right edges and the left side portion is attached, such as by stitching, to the left edge and the right side portion is attached, also typically by stitching, to the right edge.
- the garment can optionally include arm portions and these are typically stitched into an upper region of the garment.
- leg portions of the garment are shorter than the legs of the wearer, the elasticity of the sock portions being such that the leg portions can elastically extend to accommodate the baby without the baby feeling discomfort in the rest of the garment.
- the garment as a whole is of a shorter length than the baby, the elasticity of the sock portions being such that the garment can elastically extend to accommodate the baby without the baby feeling discomfort in the rest of the garment.
- the front and back portions and optionally the arm portions of the garment are manufactured from a cotton and polyester based fabric, whereas the sock portions include a proportion of Lycra® in their material composition to provide said sock portions with a degree of elasticity.
- the sock portions can contain any or any combination of lycra, elastain or any other stretch material as required.
- the sock portions contain at least 2% Lycra®, elastain or other stretch material.
- the garment is provided with padding in the knee regions of the leg portions to further increase the comfort of the garment when the baby is crawling therein.
- the garment is provided with gripping means on the outer surface of the sock portions, and particularly in the region where the sole of the baby's foot is located in use.
- the garment is in the form of a playsuit or sleepsuit.
- one or more expansion sections are provided between each sock portion and leg portion, the expansion portions having an increased elasticity compared to the material from which at least the leg portions of the garment are predominately made.
- the sock portions are stitched firstly to annular elastic expansion sections around their entire uppermost periphery, said expansion sections being in turn stitched around their entire free periphery to the lowermost edges of both the left and right front portions and the back portion of the suit to complete the leg portions thereof.
- This feature not only allows for elastic extension of the sock portions but also for further elastic extension of the expansion sections to enable the garment to accommodate babies of more greatly differing sizes than previously possible.
- the garment according to the invention has performed surprisingly well in that when a baby is dressed therein and permitted to crawl, the legs of the baby are retained within the leg portions of the garment and never, or rarely, become dislodged or removed therefrom.
- Parents now no longer need to constantly adjust and readjust the limbs of their babies in playsuits, and this represents a considerable reduction in the effort required in monitoring the baby and ensuring its continued comfort.
- the baby can "cruise” freely.
- “Cruising” is known as the stage between crawling and walking when babies use furniture or like items to pull themselves up and hold onto to help them take their first steps.
- the feet of the baby Whilst walking, the feet of the baby remain securely enclosed within the garment so their legs do not become dislodged, as commonly occurs with conventional playsuits/sleepsuits. Therefore, the baby can move around freely without tripping so building up the confidence to crawl, cruise, and eventually walk unaided.
- the suit or garment according to the present invention is successful in this regard because of the increased resistance to movement of the baby's legs relative to the playsuit, in particular the leg portions of the playsuit which results from the tendency of the elastically extended sock portions to retain the baby's feet therein during any crawling motion.
- the elastic sock portions of the playsuit according to this invention function in vastly superior fashion to the simply floppy feet portions of suits of the prior art.
- a baby playsuit consisting of a back portion shaped generally according to the outline of the torso and legs of a baby, and left and right side front portions, said back portion having left and right edges which are stitched to the leftmost edge of the left side front portion and the rightmost edge of the right side front portion respectively to define a torso portion and leg portions of the suit, the rightmost edge of the left side front portion and the leftmost edge of the right side front portion being provided with releasable fastening means and arm portions being optionally stitched into the suit in an upper region thereof between the left and right edges of the back portion and the leftmost edge of the left side front portion and the rightmost edge of the right side front portion respectively, characterised in that the leg portions terminate in elastic sock portions having an increased elasticity compared to the material from which the suit is predominantly made and which are stitched to the lowermost edges of both of the left and right side front portions and the back portion around their entire upper periphery thus completing the
- Figures 1 and 2 show a schematic view of a suit according to the prior art construction
- Figures 3 shows a schematic view of a suit according to the present invention.
- Figure 4 shows a leg portion of a suit according to a different embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG 3 there is shown a playsuit which is similar to the playsuit of Figure 1 in almost all regards (and therefore reference numerals corresponding to those used in Figure 1 are used where appropriate) except for leg portions 22, 24.
- sock portions 30, 32 which are ideally of a material which is different and significantly more elastic than that from which the remainder of the suit is manufactured, are stitched to the lowermost edges of the shortened (as compared to the suit of Figure 1) leg portions 22, 24.
- the length of the suit of Figure 3 is chosen to be slightly less than the length of the baby which is to be dressed therein, at least from the shoulders to the tips of the toes when the babies legs are in their habitually bent positions.
- leg portions of the suit may be chosen to be shorter than the legs of the baby notwithstanding their usually bent condition so that when the legs of the baby are inserted in to the leg portions of the suit, there is at least some elastic extension of the material of the sock portions 30, 32.
- FIG. 4 there is shown an alternative arrangement wherein the sock portion 30, 32 are firstly stitched around their entire upper peripheries at 36 to an expansion section 38, which is also of an elastically expansible material and which is in turn stitched to the lowermost edges of both the front and rear portions of the suit in the leg region 22, 24 around its upper periphery. This further enhances the capacity of the leg portions 22, 24 to elastically expand as a baby's leg is inserted therein.
