Patent number: 5813580Abstract: A frameless infant carrier which converts from a front carrier to a hip carrier. The carrier includes a pouch for containing the infant, a waistbelt for adjustably connecting the pouch about the wearer's waist, a pair of shoulder straps attached to the pouch for supporting the infant on the shoulders of the wearer, and a pair of infant support straps connected between the front panel of the pouch and the shoulder straps. The infant support straps are adjustable to provide support for the upper portion of the pouch, and to draw the infant securely against the wearer. The carrier converts between alternate carrying positions by disconnecting each of the shoulder straps from the waistbelt, connecting the free ends of the shoulder straps to the infant support straps, slipping an arm of the wearer under a shoulder strap so that the shoulder strap slips off the shoulder of the wearer, and sliding the pouch laterally around the body of the wearer.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1996Date of Patent: September 29, 1998Assignee: Lisco, Inc.Inventor: Paul F.

Patent number: 5692655Abstract: A soft child carrier including a soft body member attached to a relatively rigid back portion. A pair of shoulder straps are attached to the carrier adjacent to upper and lower ends of the back portion, and a waist belt extends from opposing sides of the lower end of the back portion. The relatively stiff back portion facilitates the transferring of the weight of a child to the waist belt such that a substantial portion of the child's weight is transferred away from the shoulder straps to thereby relieve the amount of weight carried on the shoulders and upper back of a person supporting the carrier. A seat adjustment is also provided whereby an adjustment strap extending along the back portion may be pulled or released to cause a height for the seat portion of the carrier to be increased or decreased depending on the size of the child.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 1995Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Lisco, Inc.Inventors: Paul F. Fair, Marjorie G. Harper, Cynthia R. Nelson
