Abstract:
An improved method providing safety for young children being escorted from one point to another by adults. The method is non-tethering and non-restraining requiring only direction, to instruction-prone children to hold onto a ring. A number of Dual-Rings (4), forming a plurality of two-position entities, are slid onto a flexible, common center supporting line (2), through a hole in the Dual-Rings and held in place by Dowel Pins (8) which pass through the Dual-Rings and line. One Dual-Ring provides two positions and accommodates two children. The Dual-Ring spacing along the longitudinal axis of the center support line is appropriate to allow children to be escorted without companion interference. The individual ring spacing, of a Dual-Ring entity, is minimal, thus allowing the children to walk closely abreast to one another, in two columns, on narrow sidewalks prevalent in school/ preschool residential areas. The Dual-Ring is further embodied with imprinted numbers, letters or symbols adjacent to each ring allowing the adult(s) to foster the learning process of children. By option, an Extension Line (14) of proper length, with a small loop on one end, and a loop with Clip Fastener (10) on the other, permits augmentation of another escort line. The non-rigid, flexible characteristics of the Escort Safety Line permit ease of handling, compactness and lightweight mobility.
