Actual Patent Illustration – All Inventions Hold Real USA Patents
Baby Cage
US Patent Issued In 1998
Adults: big… babies: small. So how can you safely combine the two in one large bed? With the Baby Cage. The Baby Cage is an oval shaped domed structure featuring curved crossbars that are strong enough to support an adult’s weight, keeping baby safe. You know, this thing doesn’t exactly induce warm and fuzzy feelings. Baby Cage = future visits to doctors with couches. So how about this… next time you are thinking of putting the wee one in junior jail, maybe just pull the crib up next to your bed.
