  • Patent number: 6212685
    Abstract: A shirt cuff comprises a band of material having first and second opposing edges and first and second opposing ends. The first edge is attached to the sleeve of the shirt. The dimensions of the band are such that it substantially closes about the circumference of the sleeve along the first edge. Unlike conventional cuffs, the two ends of the band diverge from the first edge toward the second edge such that the two ends are substantially separated proximate to the second edge. In one embodiment, the edges are substantially straight so that there is a “V”-shaped opening in the cuff. In other embodiments, the ends of the band may have alternative shapes, but in each case there is a substantial opening in the cuff proximate to the second edge of the band. A fastener for the cuff connects the two ends of the band, spanning the opening therebetween.

  • Patent number: 5819340
    Abstract: A crib for newborns and infants is easily placed in close proximity to the parents' bed without being physically attached thereto. An otherwise conventional crib mattress is retained in a bassinet or similar structure. The bassinet is supported in a frame that partially slides under the parents' bed, thereby allowing the bassinet to extend partially over the top surface of the parents' mattress.
