  • Infant activity necklace
    Patent number: 6966472
    Abstract: The present invention provides a support pad attached to a necklace device. The support pad includes tethers attached to the support pad at a spaced apart distance, and each tether includes means for attaching a toy at a location remote from the support pad. The support pad is constructed to provide rigidity sufficient to maintain the spaced apart distance between the tethers so that each attached toy is suspended from the support pad at substantially an identical angle with respect to the support pad. This prevents entanglement of the suspended toys.
