Benefits of technology

[0010]It is another object of the invention to produce a pair of protective crawling chaps that makes the infant more comfortable while it is crawling. The infant's knees will be more comfortable because of the double-thickness and batting material of the chaps. When the chaps are worn during hot weather, the infant will be cooler than if crawling in pants.
[0011]It is another object of the invention to produce a pair of protective crawling chaps that protects the infant's knees when it begins walking. Infants take many tumbles when learning to walk. The chaps will prevent the cuts and scrapes on knees and legs that most infants get when learning to walk.
[0012]It is another object of the invention to produce a pair of protective crawling chaps that have an opening at the groin area that is a specific proportion to the rest of the main body of the chaps. This specific proportion is necessary in preventing the leg portions from slipping while the infant is crawling.

Problems solved by technology

However, these applications would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention.
Referring specifically to the infant crawling pants, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,845,778; 6,343,383, these applications will not keep an infant cooler and more comfortable when crawling in hot weather.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, these drawings illustrate the front and back sides of the protective crawling chaps (1). The main body of the chaps (2) consists of two separate panels cut to form a specific pattern that covers the waist and legs of the infant. These panels of the chaps (2) are constructed from denim or other durable material. The two panels are sewn together with a third layer of padding or batting material between them. The main body of the chaps (2) extends from the waist with an opening at the groin area (8) to form the leg portions that extend to each ankle of the infant.

[0020]The opening at the groin area (8) separates the right and left leg portions of the main body of the chaps (2). This groin opening (8) is a specific proportion to the main body of the chaps. This specific proportion prevents the leg portions from slipping while the infant is crawling.

[0021]The waist straps (3), knee straps (4) and ankle straps (5) are also made from denim or other dur...

Abstract

This invention relates to a pair of protective crawling chaps for a crawling infant or an infant beginning to walk. The chaps are worn directly over an infant's legs or over clothing and provide protection from abrasions, dirt and wear and tear when crawling on various surfaces. They also make the infant more comfortable and cooler when crawling in hot weather because they are open in the back. The chaps cover the front of the infant from the waist to the ankle and are attached with adjustable waist, knee and ankle straps. The main body of the chaps is created with an opening at the groin area for the right and left leg portions to extend to the ankles. This groin opening is in a specific proportion to the main body of the chaps to prevent the leg portions from slipping while the infant is crawling.
