Weird Patent of the Day
Babies' snap-back toy harness and exerciser
A body-borne baby harness for use while the baby is sitting, for example in a high chair, an automobile seat, or on the floor of a play pen. Elastic cords with loops at the end hold toys at a distance within the child's reach when unstressed, so the toys snap back after being pulled.
