  • Patent number: 4043582
    Abstract: A restraint device for protecting young children in the sleeping compartments or bunks of a recreational vehicle includes a net-like device, constructed of flexible strands in close proximity of each other, that is supported within and attached to the upper bunk so as to provide simultaneous vertical and horizontal support. This net-like curtain arrangement transmits a portion of any horizontal force received by the device causing the lower fastening apparatus to become more securely fastened. Quick release snaps are provided in the net-like curtain device to allow an adult ready access to the infant in the bunk. The quick release mechanism is such that an adult may have ready egress from the bunk, but a young child cannot release the mechanism. The net-like curtain device slides to the side, out of the way when the bunk is not in use.
