All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The present invention is an interactive reversible wearable activity center for babies and toddlers as shown in
The main canvass 1 provides the user a centralized area for the user to secure the interactive items and the mobile media devices. The main canvass is shown in its entirety in
The main canvass 1 allows the user to use either the front side 8, as shown in
The present invention is reversible, which allows the user to turn the main canvass 1 to the back side 14 as shown in
The support system 23 provides the user with a means to wear and hold up the main canvass 1 against the user's chest. The support system 23 comprises a left shoulder strap 24, a right shoulder strap 25, a left apron string 26, a right apron string 27, a left hole 28, and a right hole 29. The left shoulder strap 24 is connected to the main canvass 1 atop the left arm curve 4. The right shoulder strap 25 is connected to the main canvass 1 atop the right arm curve 5. The left shoulder strap 24 and the right shoulder strap 25 make use of the user's shoulders to hold up the main canvass 1. The left apron string 26 is connected to left shoulder strap 24 opposite to the main canvass 1, and the right apron string 27 is connected to the right shoulder strap 25 opposite to the main canvass 1. The left apron string 26 traverses through the left hole 28, while the right apron string 27 traverses through the right hole 29. The left hole 28 is positioned on the left hip brace 6, and the right hole 29 is positioned on the right hip brace 7. Once the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 have respectively traversed through the left hole 28 and the right hole 29, the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 are tied together, which creates a tension force in the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27. Before the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 have traversed through the left hole 28 and the right hole 29, the tension force felt by the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 brace the present invention against the user's shoulders with the left shoulder strap 24 and the right shoulder strap 25. After the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 have traversed through the left hole 28 and the right hole 29, the tension force felt by the left apron string 26 and the right apron string 27 warp the left hip brace 6 and the right hip brace 7 around the user's waist in order to prevent the main canvass 1 from straying too far from the center of the user's chest.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
