Writslet mounting means for infant care apparatus

摘要

A method is provided for affixing a wristlet (28) to the side of an incubator. The side is a double walled side having an inner wall (12) and an outer wall (14) with a space (16) between those walls. Both the outer and inner walls have handhole openings that are in alignment when the inner and outer walls are affixed together to allow a person to insert an arm through the openings. A flexible handhole (32) is affixed within the opening in the outer wall and extends inwardly toward the incubator interior through the inner wall. That handhole (32) has an annular flange (36) that extends outwardly and a wristlet (28) having an outer peripheral portion (38) having an elastic member (40) is affixed to the handhole by encircling the annular flange. The inner wall (12) is removably affixed with respect to the outer wall (14) and when affixed to the outer wall, the inner wall sandwiches the outer periphery of the wristlet (28) between that inner wall (12) and the annular flange (36). The wristlet (28) therefore is maintained firmly affixed to the side with out needing a very tight outer elastic member. <IMAGE>
