Claim Text:
1. An infant rail system configured for use with a sofa comprising: a base member attached to a vertical member via a hinge; wherein the base member is configured to be placed in between a seat cushion and a seat base of said sofa thereby securing the base member in place; wherein the vertical member is configured to be placed against the seat cushion thereby forming a barrier to prevent an object from falling off of said sofa; wherein the base member is further defined as a generally square or rectangularly-shaped object; wherein the base member is further defined with a first base member edge and a second base member edge; wherein the base member is constructed of a plurality of base slats that are generally parallel with one another, and extend between the first base member edge and the second base member edge; wherein the vertical member is further defined as a generally square or rectangularly-shaped object; wherein the vertical member is further defined with a first vertical member edge and a second vertical member edge; wherein the vertical member is constructed of a plurality of vertical slats that are generally parallel with one another, and extend between the first vertical member edge and the second vertical member edge; wherein the base slats are equally spaced apart from one another via a base slat distance; wherein the base member is further defined with a base member length and a base member width; wherein the base member length and the base member width each have a dimension that ranges from not less than 6 inches to not more than 36 inches; wherein the vertical slats are equally spaced apart from one another via a vertical slat distance; wherein the vertical member is further defined with a vertical member length and a vertical member width; wherein the vertical member length and the vertical member width each have a dimension that ranges from not less than 6 inches to not more than 36 inches; wherein the hinge extends across both the second base member edge of the base member and the second vertical member edge of the vertical member; wherein the hinge enables the vertical member to rotate from a parallel orientation against the base member to a perpendicular orientation with respect to the base member; wherein the vertical member is further defined with an inner vertical surface, which touches an inner base surface of the base member when folded flat, and not in use; wherein the first base member edge of the base member is further defined as an elongated cylinder that includes a cylinder diameter, which is greater than a base member thickness.
