Description

The invention relates to a transport device for a child with a hand protection device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a transport device may be, for example, an infant carrier, a stroller, a buggy or a child seat for use in a motor vehicle. In this case, such a transport device may be provided in particular for a baby or toddler. When a child is in such a transport device, it is - especially in a movement of the transport device - often stuck to a carrying handle of a baby carrier or on a sliding frame of a stroller, so that a hand of the child rests on the outside of the carrying handle or the sliding rack , There is a risk that, for example, a door bumps against the stroller or against the baby seat, or that the stroller or baby car seat are pressed against a wall or a car. In this case, there may be bruising of the child's fingers or other hand injuries.

The DE 84 11 180 U1 describes a particular intended for a children's bicycle two-wheeled handlebar with a brake handle, wherein an operating portion of the brake handle is overlapped by an outgoing from the handlebar guard, so that a free end of the operating section is located in the cover of the guard.

The present invention has for its object to provide a transport device of the type mentioned by which the risk of injury to the hands of a transported child is excluded or at least reduced.

This object is achieved by a hand protection device which is arranged on a transport device for a child. The hand protection device comprises a gripping portion which, when the hand protection device is arranged on the transport device as intended, lies within reach of the child when the child is in the transport device, and a protective section which at least partially spans the gripping section in order to protect a hand of the child, if the hand engages around the gripping portion. In a collision between the transport device and an object, the child's hand may be protected from injury such as bruising because the hand is at least partially straddled by the protection section and thus the impact is against the protection section and not directly against the child's hand he follows.

The protective portion may be formed of a stable material, such as hard plastic or metal, so that even with a comparatively violent collision between the transport device and an object substantially no deformation of the protective section occurs and the at least partially overstretched by the protective section hand the child is protected from injury.

In one embodiment, the hand protection device has a passage, which is at least partially formed by the gripping portion and the protective portion. Preferably, the gripping section and the protective section surround the passage completely. In this way, the hand of the child, which at least partially extends through the passage when grasping the gripping portion, can be protected towards several sides.

In one embodiment, the protective portion comprises a protective bow, which spans the gripping portion in an arc shape. For example, the guard may be attached to at least one location, but preferably at least two locations on the gripping portion and / or go into this. In this case, the guard can be made wider than the gripping portion and / or as a frame portion of the transport device on which the hand guard is provided. Thus, embracing the guard by the child can be avoided.

In an advantageous variant of the gripping portion and the protective portion are integrally formed with each other. By such a one-piece construction, a particularly great robustness of the hand guard can be achieved. In addition, an integrally formed hand protection device - for example, in an injection molding - are produced comparatively inexpensive.

In one embodiment, the gripping portion has a rod-shaped basic shape. According to a variant, a diameter of the gripping portion is less than 4 cm, such as less than 3 cm or even less than 2 cm. In this way it can be ensured that the child can embrace the gripping portion well.

In a development, the hand protection device comprises at least one attachment portion for releasably securing the hand protection device to the transport device. Thus, if necessary, a hand protection device retrofitted to a transport device and also dismantled or mounted at another point of the transport device.

In one embodiment, the at least one attachment portion has a mounting bracket for at least partially enclosing a rod-shaped portion of the transport device. By means of such a mounting clamp a secure releasable attachment of the hand protection device to the transport device can be made possible. It can be provided that the mounting clamp is not only suitable for a certain diameter of the rod-shaped portion of the transport device, but in a certain range for different diameters is adaptable.

Alternatively or additionally, the attachment portion may include, for example, means for locking, screwing, Verkletten or lashing the hand guard on the transport device. In particular, it may be provided that the attachment of the hand protection device to the transport device by means of the attachment portion by a Aufsteckklemmung, a compression fitting, a screw, a bonding, a Verklettung and / or a connection takes place.

Preferably, the attachment portion has at least one screw hole, possibly with a screw thread, for attaching the hand protection device to a transport device by means of a screw connection.

It is also within the scope of the invention that the attachment portion may comprise a magnetic element for establishing a magnetic connection between the hand protection device and a transport device.

According to one embodiment, the protective portion forms part of a lateral outer contour of the transport device. In particular, the protective section can form part of a lateral outer contour of the transport device in a height range in which a child is located during the intended use of the transport device. In this way it can be ensured that a possible collision of the transport device with an object takes place at least in a height range in which the child is located on the protective section and is intercepted by the latter.

The transport device further comprises a receiving portion for receiving a child as well as a carrying device and / or a sliding rack, wherein the carrying device and / or the sliding rack has at least one frame portion which is arranged from the view of a recorded in the receiving portion child on the receiving portion. In this case, the hand protection device is arranged on the at least one frame section. and extends laterally outwardly from the gripping portion from the perspective of a child received in the receiving portion. The hand protection device can thus protect a hand surrounding the frame portion in the region of the gripping portion of the child in particular to the side from a direct impact with an object, for example, when the transport device strikes the side of the object.

It is also within the scope of the invention that the hand protection device can be integrally formed with the at least one frame section. So a great stability and robustness of the construction can be achieved. In addition, assembly steps can be saved in this way and consequently the production costs are reduced.

In one embodiment, the transport device comprises an infant carrier. In particular, the frame section on which the hand protection device is arranged may form part of a carrying device arranged on the infant carrier, for example in the form of a carrying handle.

In one variant, the at least one frame section is arranged pivotably on the receiving section in at least one pivot point. For example, the frame portion may form part of a carrying handle of an infant carrier, wherein the carrying handle on the infant carrier is hinged on both sides in each case a pivot point.

In an advantageous embodiment, the hand protection device is at most 10 cm, such as at most 7 cm or at most 5 cm, arranged away from the at least one pivot point on the frame portion. Thus, it can be ensured that the gripping portion of the hand protection device is within reach of a child received in the receiving portion.

According to a development, the hand protection device has a passage, which extends over a length of at least 10 cm, such as at least 15 cm or even at least 20 cm, along the at least one frame portion. Thus, the protection by the hand protection device over a comparatively large area of the frame portion is effective, namely in particular substantially in the entire area, which is within reach of the child.
