Description

FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

[0001] The disclosure relates to general garments, and in more particular a onesie for an infant.BACKGROUND

[0002] The use of various onesies for children, particularly infants, and toddlers, is generally known in the art. Parents and guardians often struggle with removing diapers in both public and private settings due to the limited openings specifically designed for diaper changes. Infants can grow rapidly within months or even weeks, necessitating frequent purchases of new onesies, which contributes to landfill waste and has an economic impact.

[0003] Standard onesies typically have fasteners located on or near the crotch area, which can be challenging to open and close, especially with an uncooperative infant. Additionally, active infants can move quickly in various directions, causing less securely constructed fasteners, such as snap buttons, to open inadvertently, resulting in the onesie coming apart. Increased fabric layers around the body portion of the onesie can cause overheating for the user in different settings, such as bedrooms or outdoor environments during various climate seasons. Therefore, it would be desirable to have a onesie designed for convenience and accessibility, allowing for quick diaper changes without removing any part of the onesie. This onesie would include additional layers of fabric to improve durability and structure while preventing irritation to the infant.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] Additional features and advantages of the disclosure will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or can be learned by practice of the herein disclosed principles. The features and advantages of the disclosure can be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. These and other features of the disclosure will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims or can be learned by the practice of the principles set forth herein.

[0047] A onesie for children is a versatile and practical one-piece garment designed for infants and toddlers. This essential piece of clothing typically covers the torso and can extend to cover the legs and arms, providing a snug and secure fit. Onesies are celebrated for their convenience, as they streamline dressing and undressing processes for both parents and caregivers.

[0048] Onesies often have snapped enclosures, which are usually located at the crotch or along the front. These snaps are strategically placed to facilitate quick and easy diaper changes, eliminating the need to undress the child fully. This thoughtful design element ensures that diaper changes can be performed efficiently, minimizing disruption and discomfort for the child.

[0049] Onesies can come in various styles to suit different needs and preferences. Options include short-sleeved, long-sleeved, and sleeveless versions and designs with or without foot coverings. This range of styles allows for adaptability across seasons and climates, ensuring children remain comfortable year-round. Some onesies even feature hoods or mittens for added warmth and protection.

[0050] Comfort is paramount in the design of a onesie, as it ensures that infants feel at ease while wearing it. These garments are typically made from soft, breathable fabrics like cotton, which are gentle on a child's sensitive skin. Using such materials helps to prevent irritation and provides a cozy feel, promoting a sense of security and well-being. Additionally, the stretchy nature of these fabrics allows for unrestricted movement, accommodating young children's active and exploratory nature. This flexibility ensures that infants can move freely, whether crawling, playing, or kicking their legs while remaining comfortable and content, even when wearing diapers.

[0051] Parents and guardians often struggle with removing diapers in both public and private settings due to the limited openings specifically designed for diaper changes. Infants grow rapidly, often necessitating frequent purchases of new onesies within months or weeks. This contributes to landfill waste and imposes a significant economic burden on families.

[0052] Standard onesies typically have fasteners on or near the crotch area, which can be challenging to open and close, especially with an uncooperative infant. Active infants move quickly in various directions, causing less securely constructed fasteners, such as snap buttons, to open inadvertently, resulting in the onesie coming apart. Additionally, increased fabric layers around the body portion of the onesie can cause overheating in different settings, such as bedrooms or outdoor environments during various climate seasons.

[0053] Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a onesie designed for convenience and accessibility, allowing for quick diaper changes without needing to remove any part of the onesie. This improved onesie would include additional layers of fabric to enhance durability and structure while preventing irritation to the infant.

[0054] To address the above-discussed challenge, the proposed garment disclosed in the current application is a onesie with a strategically positioned rear opening, enabling caregivers to conduct swift diaper checks and changes with minimal disruption to the sleeping or resting baby. This rear opening allows caregivers to perform caregiving tasks efficiently, minimizing disturbance to the baby's rest or sleep routine. Designed to accommodate every stage from newborn to toddler, the easy-access closure saves caregivers time by allowing diaper checks and changes without fully undressing the child.

[0055] The disclosed garment features a two-way front zipper, facilitating effortless dressing and undressing of an infant. Additionally, it includes fold-over mittens to prevent scratching and ensure cozy warmth for tiny hands. The design seamlessly transitions from covered feet for optimal warmth to footless, aiding in walking development and preventing slips. An innovative flap over the top zipper prevents discomfort, such as rubbing against the baby's chin and back.

[0056] Crafted from premium bamboo material, renowned for its exceptional softness against delicate skin, this garment offers unparalleled comfort. The fabric is breathable and has stretch properties, ensuring a snug fit while accommodating the baby's growth. Moreover, bamboo's inherent hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating properties give the infant a gentle and soothing experience. Crafted from premium bamboo material, renowned for its exceptional softness against delicate skin, this garment offers unparalleled comfort. The fabric is breathable and possesses stretch properties, ensuring a snug fit while accommodating the baby's growth. Bamboo's inherent hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating properties provide the infant with a gentle and soothing experience.

[0057] Furthermore, bamboo as a material offers numerous sustainability benefits. Bamboo material is also a renewable resource, growing rapidly and reaching heights of up to 3 feet in just 24 hours under optimal conditions, making it highly renewable compared to conventional materials like cotton. Bamboo requires significantly less water to grow, reducing strain on water resources and contributing to water conservation efforts. Additionally, bamboo can be grown without pesticides or fertilizers, thanks to its natural pest-resistant properties, minimizing environmental impacts associated with chemical use in agriculture.

[0058] Moreover, bamboo plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at a higher rate than many other plants, aiding in reducing greenhouse gases and combating climate change. Bamboo fabric is biodegradable, decomposing naturally without harming the environment, thereby reducing waste and landfill impact. Bamboo cultivation also improves soil health through its extensive root system, which prevents soil erosion and enhances soil stability.

[0059] In terms of production, converting bamboo into fabric is generally more energy-efficient compared to processes used for other textiles like cotton or synthetic fibers. Bamboo fabric is known for its durability and longevity, leading to less frequent replacement and reduced waste. Its natural antibacterial properties further reduce the need for frequent washing and the use of antibacterial treatments involving harmful chemicals.

[0060] Utilizing bamboo materials for children's clothing offers a sustainable alternative to conventional fabrics and ensures comfort, safety, and environmental responsibility.

In some embodiments, one or more fasteners 230 is positioned from the top longitude axis 100B to the bottom longitude axis 100D. In some instances, the fastener 230 on the front panel 100 end-point is on or near the mid-point (not shown); however, it is appropriate and accessible to have a fastener 230 positioned from the top panel 100 (top longitude axis 100B to the bottom longitude axis 100D). It is understood the user can request the one or more fasteners 230 between axes. For example, a user's dominant hand is the right hand, the dominant hand is the right hand, and the fastener 230 can be positioned on the right top portion 102 and vice versa.

[0062] FIG. 3A-3B illustrates the rear panel 200 of the onesie, in particular FIG. 3A illustrates a top portion 202 and a bottom portion 204, a set of flaps 310, 320, each component of the rear panel 200 having an inner surface and an outer surface and wherein a top flap 310 is engaged with a bottom flap 320 (FIG. 3B). It is understood the top flap 310 is engaged with the bottom flap 320 defined as the assembled onesie configuration. The starting point of the top flap 310 is positioned on the top portion 102 whereas the bottom flap 320 start point is positioned to the bottom portion 104. In other words, the top flap 310 is above the mid-section 100C, and the bottom flap 312 is below the mid-section 100C of the rear panel 200. At least one flap contains a higher number of fabric layers compared to the rear panel 200 and / or front panel 100. Between these flaps, one or more fasteners 320 are incorporated. For example, the top flap inner surface comprises a fastener 320, in particular, a circular shape magnet 230. The diameter of the magnet 230 is fixed between the outer surface flap 310 and inner surface flap 320 via stitching, additional fasteners 230 adhesive, etc., to limit or prevent movement during physical activities. Each magnet 320 is separated from one another via stitching, and adhesive, etc. decreasing the likelihood, etc., decreasing the likelihood of a magnet 320 detaching from the origin position when manufactured.

[0063] FIG. 3B illustrates the top flap inner surface 312 disengaged with the bottom flap outer surface 320 configurable for a rear opening 330. FIG. 3B further illustrates three magnets 230 between the inner surface and the outer surface of each flap, which are configurable to attach and detach as previously described. It is understood the top lining of each flap is securely fixed within the rear panel 200, and in some instances, one or more flaps are manually stitched and secured during the final stages of manufacturing in which a portion of one or more flaps are loosely yet still durable with respect to magnet 230. The periphery of one or more flaps, in particular, the endpoint of one or more flaps, is stitched at least once from the inner surface of the rear panel 200, wherein a second layer of fabric of the one or more flaps is looped at least once. This method of manufacturing results in the front panel 100 being seamless. Additionally, this ensures the front panel 100 does not loosely open, and in fact, the front panel 100 does not show any sort of visual openings when the two flaps are disengaged with each other, causing the rear opening 330, which also ensures the privacy of the infant. The front panel 100 and the rear panel 200 inner surface periphery fabric is attached via stitching, adhesive, and / or one or more securing elements. The connector of the inner fabric of the front panel 100 and the rear panel 200 further comprises at least one layer of binding and a layer of padding configured to prevent any discomfort during use.

[0064] It is understood the intended purpose of the onesie is customizable for the user. For example, an infant rear buttock is accessible by detaching the top flap inner surface 312 to the bottom flap outer surface 320, which creates a rear opening 330, as previously referenced in FIG. 3B is configurable to change and / or remove a diaper. This feature for benefits parents and / or guardians to quickly access the diaper to either change and / or remove without removing the onesie from the infant's body portion. With respect to this particular usage, the top lining of the top and / or bottom flap is positioned distal to the mid-section 200C as depicted in FIG. 3A wherein a user can seamlessly pull the infant diaper discreetly.

[0065] FIG. 4A-4B illustrates the working components, particularly at least one magnet between the inner and outer surfaces of each flap. FIG. 4A-B illustrates a user forcefully pulling the top flap inner surface 310 magnets 230 to a left angle, yet with the amount of force pulled by the user, the magnets 230 remain engaged with each other, regardless of the angle when pulling. A more convenient method to disengage the two magnets 230 on the top flap and bottom flap, a user's finger can slide a magnet 230 on the diameter of one, followed by lifting the magnet 230 portion disengaged with the opposite magnet 230. With respect to the durability of the magnet, the parent / guardian is ensured the rear panel 200 will remain without an opening, regardless of the physical activity.

[0066] Referenced to FIG. 2, the zipper 230 on the front panel 200 outer surfaces are engaged with each other via a zipper head engaged between the two teeth to either the top stop and / or bottom stop; the front panel 100 is defined as seamless. During a forceful pull movement from the front panel, 100 the one or more layers on the front flap and bottom flap and magnets 230 ensure the rear panel 200 will remain intact, avoiding a disassembled configuration. Additionally, lateral movements such as an infant running and a user intentionally and / or unintentionally pulling a periphery on either the front panel 100 and / or rear panel 200, the strength of the magnet 230 will prevent from sliding from one another unless a user forcefully slides the magnet 230 to disengage the top flap and the bottom flap of the rear panel 200. Another benefit for the one or more layers of the top flap and / or bottom flap, thickness, and strength of the one or more magnets 230 prevents or limits rear opening 330 when pulling the rear panel 200, top portion 202, and / or bottom portion 204.

[0067] FIG. 4C illustrates a magnet 230 between the inner surface and the outer surface of one or more flaps, further illustrating the lining around the diameter of the magnet 230 comprising a layer of plastic secured by adhesive and / or similar securing elements to ensure the durability of the magnet 230 is intact with one another.

[0069] In some examples, the flaps 310 and 320 may be configured in another configuration in other embodiments, including any configuration herein.

[0070] FIG. 5A illustrates the top portion 102 of the front panel 100. FIG. 5B shows a user holding the sleeve from a front perspective view. With respect to the sleeve ending point, specifically the sleeve cuff 112 on the front panel 100 and / or sleeve cuffing 212 on the rear panel 200, the top longitude axis 110A distal to the top longitude axis 100A, previously referenced in FIG. 2, one or more fabric layers are folded over one another to discreetly hide a user's limb, particularly a user's hand. For example, sleeves 110, and 210 comprises an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface of the sleeves 110 and 210 is folded over at least once, revealing the inner surface on the outer surface of the sleeve cuffing 212, which is designed to create an opening 214 to conceal a user's limb discreetly. This folding process, as depicted in FIG. 5C, involves folding the inner surface of the sleeve cuffing 212 over the outer surface of the sleeve cuffing 212, specifically at the junction between the front panel 100 sleeve longitude axis 110A and width axis 110B, and tucking it between the rear panel 200 sleeve cuffing 214. This method effectively hides a user's limb discreetly, ensuring that at least one fabric layer from the front panel 100 sleeve 110 is folded over or between the rear panel 200 sleeve 210, and vice versa. In some examples, when the garment does not include long sleeves and alternatively has a short-sleeved design, the folding mechanism of the sleeves 110 and 210 operates differently. Here, the outer surface of the short sleeves is not folded over to create a new opening or to hide a limb. Instead, the existing short sleeves maintain their intended length and configuration without additional folding or adjustment. This design ensures that the garment retains its intended short-sleeve style, providing comfort and ease of movement without the need for further modification.

[0071] FIG. 6 illustrates a method of transition to insert an infant into the onesie and the transition between an opening within one or more sleeves and / or one or more sleeves in accordance with some examples.

[0072] The process begins at block 602, where the front zipper of the toddler garment is securely pulled from the top stop to the bottom stop. This ensures the garment is fully opened, allowing for easy insertion of the child.

[0073] At block 604, the toddler is placed into the inner surface of the garment. This step involves carefully positioning the child so that their body aligns with the garment's structure, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

[0074] Following this, block 606 involves engaging the zipper teeth. The user pulls the zipper from the bottom to the top stop, securing the garment around the toddler. This step is crucial for ensuring the garment stays in place and provides the necessary coverage and protection.

[0075] In block 608, the inner surface of the sleeve or legging is unfolded to the outer surface. This action exposes the toddler's hands and feet, allowing for freedom of movement and access to the limbs. This step is important for ensuring the toddler's comfort and mobility while wearing the garment.

[0076] Finally, at block 610, the outer fabric of the sleeve or legging portion is pulled to discreetly hide the toddler's limbs, including their hands and legs. This step provides additional coverage and warmth, securing the limbs within the garment while maintaining the garment's aesthetic and functional integrity.

[0077] FIG. 7 illustrates a method of transitioning from an assembled onesie configuration to a disassembled onesie configuration, rear panel 200 opening 330, by releasing the flaps 310 and 320, in accordance with some examples.

[0078] The process commences at block 702, where the top flap outer surface 310 is released from the bottom flap inner surface 322. This is accomplished by disengaging one or more fasteners 320 that securely hold the flaps together. The design of these fasteners ensures they are both easy to operate and dependable in keeping the flaps closed during normal wear.

[0079] In block 704, the user pulls the bottom flap inner surface 322 downward. This action creates an opening that provides access to the infant's diaper. The secure yet flexible attachment of the flap ensures that it can be pulled without causing discomfort to the infant, and it remains attached to the onesie to prevent misplacement or loss.

[0080] Block 706 involves the actual diaper change process. With the bottom flap pulled away, the diaper area is fully exposed, allowing the caregiver to remove a soiled diaper conveniently and discreetly or change the diaper. This design eliminates the need to remove the entire onesie, thus minimizing disturbance to the infant and maintaining their warmth and comfort during the diaper change.
