Burping Cloth Keeper
The present invention discloses the Burping Cloth Keeper. There has always been an issue of a baby's burping cloth falling off the shoulder of the user. This jeopardizes the sanitary cleanliness of the cloth which is to come in direct contact with a baby; particularly the face. The Burping Cloth Keeper is an invention that will affix the cloth to the garment of the user by sandwiching them between two encased magnets. It will allow the user to have uninhibited movement while staying in place to care for a baby.
A provisional patent application with the application No. 61/741,749 was filed on Jul. 27, 2012. The current application for a non-provisional utility patent is in direct relationship and is a continuation to move forward.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe invention falls under the field of baby accessories. More precisely, the invention is a burping cloth attachment.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe Burping Cloth Keeper was invented to create a physical attachment to keep a burping cloth from falling to the ground. The BCK is removable and interchangeable. The variation of the Burping Cloth Keeper is permanently affixed to a burping cloth.
I found that burping cloths were the most problematic with trying to ascertain a level cleanliness for the baby and a level of sanity for myself. The purpose of the Burping Cloth Keeper (BCK) is to prevent compromising the sanitary cleanliness of the cloth. The Burping Cloth Keeper attaches the cloth to the garment of the user through magnets. The magnets are encased in opposing ends of fabric (see
The Burping Cloth Keeper comes in two variations: single and unattached, and permanently attached to the cloth. See (
The process of creating the product is as follows:
- 1.) Cut a five inch piece of fabric parallel to the selvage in the shape of the Burping Cloth Keeper
- 2.) Fold the fabric in half so that it measures two and a half inches long
- 3.) Sew along the edges, leaving two openings at the opposing ends to place the magnets in
- 4.) Once the magnets are inserted, secure and finish by sewing the openings closed
- Note—the measurements serve as an example and can be made available in various sizes to the comfort and preference of the user.
