DE102006031811A1 - Sunshade for prams and buggies has additional sun protection incorporated in flat textile panel to reduce harmful light rays - Google Patents

Abstract

The sunshade comprises a flat textile panel (1) with fixings (8) around the edge and with additional sun protection to reduce light rays. The additional sun protection can be produced by using fine synthetic fibres or threads to weave the textile panel. An additional protective panel can be fitted on the normal shade. The sunshade can have loops or buttons for fixing.

Description

The Invention relates to a sunshade for prams and the like, preferably for Strollers, pushchairs, buggies, car seats, carrycots.

It It is known that infants with unobstructed solar radiation sunburn at risk are. This danger exists even if the children through fabric panels be protected from direct sunlight. A necessary Protection against the so-called UV-B radiation is not achievable.

As well is known to be in unfavorable make Infants to overheat tend to get into life-threatening situations.

It has long been known, stroller and stroller with foldable To equip tarpaulins. These shield the sun's rays almost completely, but have the disadvantage that they depend on their effect unfold the direction of travel.

Around To counteract this malady, there are proposed expandable parasols Service. These have due to the possible dimensions only one limited field of action, which is why their position in changing direction changes continuously must be readjusted. Such kind umbrellas have as stringing regularly thin fabrics or even printed transparencies. The disadvantages described above exist therefore also here. Another disadvantage is that such umbrellas are connected to the frame of the baby carriage have to. This requires it for Each model of a stroller equipped adapter ready.

It has also been proposed to install sun roofs in addition to the stroller. After a proposal in DE 296 16 845 U1 this should be done using a fabric blank that is stiffened by a frame. The disadvantage is that the frame parts must be carried.

in the With regard to covering materials to be used are the disadvantages described above also in this solution.

According to DE 298 15 851 U1 A sunroof can also consist of a textile material that can span in the area from the soft top (pram tarpaulin) to the trolley handle. The attachment is to be done with ribbons, which are guided in pockets of the awning slidably. At the same time it is proposed that such a sun can sail waterproof or water-repellent impregnated. A disadvantage of this proposal is that a glare shield is used only of a simple textile material which shields long-wave light and visible light to some extent, but does not have sufficient effectiveness in short-wave UV light. Such materials can achieve a UV protection factor (UPF) of at most 40. Therefore, there is still the risk that a baby girl is exposed to UV radiation and therefore suffers from sunburn.

All solutions described above The prior art uses either thin textile sheet materials, the a visual, sunscreen, but no heat protection and neither can provide protection against UV radiation. This also applies if the textile surface materials for example, are hydrophobicized.

Become does not exist as covering materials transparent films once in the required amount sunscreen.

It is therefore an object of the invention, a sunscreen for stroller and the like, suggesting a sufficiently large UV protection guaranteed.

The Essence of the invention results from the features of the claims, the Description and the embodiments. embodiments and drawings indicate preferred embodiments on the filing date again and restrict not the invention.

The Object is according to the invention by a sunscreen according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with its characterizing features solved. under claims indicate particularly preferred embodiments of the invention.

According to the invention for sun protection a textile material that uses a UV protection factor (UPF) has at least 40.

According to the invention is a textile fabric used in a further step with a counter UV-light protective coating is equipped. Prefers becomes a thin one Polyester fabric with a corresponding protective coating, wherein the coating is the predominant one Part of the filter effect takes over.

The sunscreen can be used as a tarp with allsei tig solidified edges be executed. The solidification of the edges can be carried out, for example, by stitching, uncoiling, thermal hardening or bonding with hardening materials.

It is possible, too, by stitching, sew on or piping channels through the bands, cords and the like can be pulled with the help of which then attaching to the stroller is possible. Likewise on the circumference of the sunscreen eyelets, Loops, buttons, Surface zips and The like may be provided, with the help of a fixing on the stroller is possible.

Of the Sunscreen can be used as a tarp with different geometries and in be executed in different sizes. As a result, and in conjunction with suitable fasteners it is possible this also in car seats in the side window of the Motor vehicle, in baby carrier bags, buggies, bassinet, Krabbelboxen, Playhouses and if necessary even in connection with rods as light and Blinds are used outdoors. The inventively designed tarpaulin can as a blind sail between pram tarpaulin and push handle, stroller tarpaulin and carbody, stroller tarp and folding footboard as well used as between a car seat and the side window, a child car seat and the existing front seat in the vehicle. Furthermore, the tarpaulin can be used as a glare sail with a stiffening Frame or in the same way be designed as a clampable screen. Finally, can The tarpaulin is also designed as a blanket be, with the existing peripheral fasteners serve can, to fix the ceiling.

It it was found that in particular coated polyester fabrics for the sunscreen according to the invention are suitable. Particularly suitable are coated polyester fabrics a company ZPJ "Wistil" S.A., 62-800 Kalisz, Poland, with which UV sun protection factors (UPF)> 200 and thus a perfect UV protection are achieved can.

It is appropriate, the Sunscreen made of a thin textile fabrics with the UV protection factor increasing To perform coating, its coating remains elastic in use and durable with connected to the base material. Such a sunscreen can when not in use folded up and leaves stow away easily.

The Invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. Showing:

1 - The sun protection according to the invention in plan view.

A rectangular blank ( 1 ) is along its perimeter ( 2 ) lined or otherwise secured. In the area of the corners ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) are strings ( 5 ) with the blank ( 1 ), which serve the attachment. In the area of the corners ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) are fastening means ( 8th ), which additionally has an elastic element ( 9 ) to have. The elastic element ( 9 ) may be, for example, an elastic band.

The outer end of the fastener ( 8th ) and / or cords ( 5 ) can by a non-stretchable part, such as a belt loop ( 10 ), a perforated band or a fastening clip ( 11 ) be.

Instead of the elastic elements ( 9 ) adjustable straps can also be used.

A another embodiment for the Fastener consists in the execution with a so-called surface zipper (Velcro). When using it is the use of sunscreen in almost all cases possible, where any component wrapped around the fastener and the area zipper subsequently can be closed.

To Thus, the invention can be made a sunscreen, the using thinner, produced with UV protectors coated textile fabric, the almost unrestricted are applicable.
