[0001] The present application relates to a crib height adjuster. More specifically, the present application relates to a crib height adjuster for elevating a crib to assist a baby's breathing during sleep.
[0002] During the years spent in a crib, a child often has difficulty breathing due to colds or congestion. In order for the mucous congestion to drain, the child's head and upper body must be properly elevated.
[0003] In the past, cribs were sometimes fit with glass wheels that could be adjusted to different levels. However, such items are not standard on all cribs, and the specialized wheels add additional costs to the crib's manufacturing cost.
[0004] Most cribs produced today are manufactured in a single, level position. Attempting to elevate only one side of the crib is often difficult and cumbersome, and may even be dangerous if not properly secured. For example, typical means employed by parents to elevate one side of crib include the use of books, boxes or other household items.
[0005] These items are often difficult to manipulate under the crib as they are no designed for such purposes, often resulting in the one end of the crib being either insufficiently elevated or over elevated. Additionally, because most cribs manufactured today employ wheels, the mounting of such cribs on books or boxes is also dangerous, as the baby's movements in the crib may result in the wheels slipping off of the books or boxes, causing the crib to fall.
[0006] As such, a cost effective, durable and easy to use system is needed to provide for the elevation of the end of the crib.
[0007] The present invention looks to overcome the drawbacks associated with prior art methods for elevating a crib. In doing so, the present invention, provides and inexpensive, versatile, safe and decorative means for elevating the end of crib.
[0008] To this end, the present invention provides for a system for elevating the head of an infant during sleep. A crib, is provided for use with a pair of first and second crib height adjusters. The first and second crib height adjusters are placed under two of the legs at either end of a longitudinal axis of the crib so that when the crib height adjusters are in place, the surface of the crib is elevated at one end so as to cause the head of an infant sleeping to be elevated.
