Description

Feb. 9, 1954 N. VANDERSCHEL SAFEWAY BABY POSER Filed Sept. 9, 1952 IN VENT OR.
' Nor/n; l/zderscbe/ ENE ATTORNEYS Patented Feb. 9, 1954 UNITED sures orries 3 Glaims.
This invention relates .to devices used in a photographic studio for taking pictures of babies, and in particular a rigid arcuate bandsuspended above a table or desk top and positioned to receive the back of a baby with means for adjustably supporting the band and in which an elastic band extends from the ends of the rigid band whereby with the baby inserted between the elastic and rigid bands the body of the baby will be supported in an upright position.
The purpose of this invention is to provide means for retaining a baby in an-u-prig-ht sitting position for photographing in which supporting means extended around the body of the baby may be covered with clothing. Thus 'a'babyis supported in such a manner that the means for retaining the baby in an upright sitting position will in no way show on the portrait. The baby will therefore appear to be sitting all by itself on a flat surface, even though the baby is being supported by the retaining means.
When a baby first starts to sit alone he does not remain sufficiently steady for photographing and it is very diificult to persuade the baby to remain in an upright posit-ion. With this thought in mind this invention contemplates a bracket in the form of a C-clamp with an arcuate band mounted on a bar extended upwardly from .one section of the clamp and with an elastic :band or belt connecting the ends ofith arcuate'band.
The object of this invention is, therefore, to provide means for forming a support for a baby whereby a baby is retained in an upright position for photographing and in which the supporting means does not show in the photograph.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for retaining a baby in a sitting position with the body extended upwardly without causing discomfort to the baby.
A further object of the invention is to provide a baby support for retaining the body of a baby in an upright position in which the support may readily be attached to a table, desk, or the like.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a support for retaining the body of a baby in an upright position for photographing in which the support is of a simple and economical construction.
With these and other objects and advantages in view the invention embodies an L-shaped bracket having a vertical leg and a horizontal leg with a rod having a threaded socket on the extended end adjustably clamped on said vertical leg, with a clamp screw having a pad on the upper end threaded in the socket on the extended end of the rod and with an arcuate band having an elas- 2 tic belt extended from'the ends-thereof mounted on a support extended upwardly from the extended end of the horizontal leg cf the bracket.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the'fo llowing description taken in connection with the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating the upper part of the baby support and showing a baby; in dot-ted lines, with the baby positioned between the elastic belt and arcua-te band-ofthe support.
Figure 2 is a plan view of I the support with parts broken away.
Figure 3 is -a side elevationail "-i-tlustrating the support with the bracket thereof clamped to a table top and in which thetaible is shown in broken lines.
Figure 4 is ar-rend elevations/l view of *thesuppor Figure 5 is a detail showing acover :Eor the metal parts of the suppertavhiohpnevents the body of the baby coming in contact with bold metal elements.
Referring now to the drawing wherein lik referencecharacters-denote.corresponding parts the improved baby support of this-invention includes an arcuate band. 2110., elastic belt 1. 1. .6" cured .to the ends .of theband a support .12 extended upwardly from laxihorizontaii leg :13 an L-shaped bracket, the lbl'afikfit m iin a r- :tical leg-=14 upon Winona-rod kfiharinga tln ad socket 126 on the extended nd is adiu li hb mounted with a clamp screw 17, and a screw 18 which is threaded through the socket 16 and provided with a pad 19 that is positioned to engage the under surface of a table top 20 whereby the clamp is secured in position with the pad 19 coacting with a pad 21 on the end of the leg 13 and positioned to engage the upper surface of the table top.
The arcuate band I!) is provided with clips 22 and 23 that are positioned on the ends of the band and rings 24 and 25, which are secured in loops 2B and 21, respectively on the ends of the belt I I are positioned over the clips for retaining the belt in position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The band It] is secured to the upper end of the support l2 with rivets or the like, as indicated by the numeral 28 and the support [2 is secured to the horizontally disposed leg I3 of the L-shaped bracket by screws or the like, as indicated by the numeral 29, the screws extending through a flange 30 on the end of the leg l3. The pad 2| is also secured to the extended end of the leg [3 and a washer 3! may be positioned between the pad and surface of the leg. The leg I3 is provided with a flat end, as indicated by the numeral 32 to facilitate fastening the support l2 and pad 2| thereto.
The rod [5 is provided with a fitting 33 that is slidably mounted on the vertical leg M of the bracket and the rod and fitting are secured in adjusted positions with the adjusting screw 11.
The opposite end of the rod [5 is provided with a threaded rod or screw, as indicated by the numeral l8 and the screw I8 is threaded through a hub l6, which may be formed with a T-fitting or the like. The lower end of the screw I8 is pro vided with a hand wheel 34 and the pad I9 is secured to the upper end of the screw IS with a ball and socket joint 35.
The baby support may also be provided with a cover 36, as illustrated in Fig. 5, the cover being adapted to be positioned over the arcuate band [0 with the ends of the elastic belt ll extended through elongated slots 31 and 38 in the cover. The lower part of the cover is drawn together by an elastic band or the like as indicated by the numeral 39. The open end of the cover is drawn together by the band 39 over the support [2, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
With the parts arranged in this manner the support may readily be clamped on a table, desk, or the like, as illustrated in Fig. 3 with a posing blanket or the like, as indicated by the numeral 40 positioned on the table top and secured in position by the pad 2| and with the support clamped in position a baby is placed between the belt and band, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby the body of the baby will be retained in an upright position.
With the baby in position between the bands a dress or other clothing may be placed on the baby whereby the band and belt will be hidden and the baby may be photographed in an upright position without the means for retaining the baby in the upright position showing in the photograph.
The device also provides a safety support as the possibility of the baby falling over and falling from the table or the like is eliminated.
It will be understood that modifications, within the scope of the appended claims, may be made in the design and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A baby holder comprising a clamp for use on a table top, a vertically disposed support ex- 4 tended from said clamp, an arcuate band carried by said support, an elastic belt extended from the end of the arcuate band, and a cover having belt receiving slots therein positioned over said arcuate band.
