Abstract

Textile base (10) for positioning babies and small children, characterized in that a device for arranging (11) a baby or small child (12) in the pelvic area is arranged on the base.

Description

The present invention relates to a textile base for bedding babies and small children, as is known in many different designs.

In practice, such textile underlays are positioned on the floor, on changing tables, on beds or the like and are sometimes designed to be relatively hard and sometimes also softly padded. For example, it is in the CH 656 057 A5 a children's sleeping bag revealed.

However, such a textile underlay is disadvantageously only suitable for briefly storing babies and small children, so that the area of application is very limited.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a new textile base for bedding babies and small children, which has more diverse uses.

• Textile Unterlage zur Lagerung von Babys und Kleinkindern, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass an der Unterlage eine Einrichtung zur Anordnung eines Babys oder Kleinkind im Beckenbereich angeordnet ist.

The solution to this problem results from a textile underlay according to the following claim 1:

• Textile pad for positioning babies and small children, characterized in that a device for arranging a baby or small child in the pelvic area is arranged on the pad.

The textile underlay according to the invention has the significant advantage that babies or small children can be stored safely, at least for a short time, for example on a changing table, or also for a longer period of time when sleeping on a mattress.

In the event of sudden events, such as the doorbell ringing or the telephone ringing, the person caring for you can leave the child lying on the changing table, for example, for a short time without endangering the baby or small child. to carry out other urgent activities. This gives the caregiver greater flexibility and the baby or toddler is still safely stored.

In one embodiment of the invention, the underlay is additionally provided with at least one strap with which it is possible to fix the textile underlay on a changing unit, mattress or the like.

This embodiment additionally secures the positioning of a baby or small child on a base.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, for the purpose of forming a sleeping bag, an upper part is arranged on the textile base, the textile base and the upper part being at least partially separable from one another.

This embodiment of the invention has some significant additional advantages.

First of all, a multiple use of the textile underlay according to the invention can be established, i.e. the invention can not only be used for the short-term positioning of babies on underlays such as changing tables, mattresses or the like, but a baby or small child can also be used safely for a longer period of time resting on a mattress in a sleeping bag. The sleeping bag according to the invention has the advantage that it is not only securely fixed on the mattress, but that the baby or toddler is fixed in the sleeping bag in the lying position and can only lie on its side to a certain extent.

With regard to the problem of sudden infant death, this is very important, since according to the latest scientific findings in this context, babies up to the age of 12 months should be avoided sleeping in the prone position.

In addition, the risk of a baby or small child suffocating under a blanket or in a sleeping bag is reliably prevented, since the baby or small child cannot slip into the sleeping bag due to the fixation in the pelvic area, so that the airways are always free.

According to further embodiments of the invention, the at least one strap can be elastic for longitudinal adjustment or have a tensioning device.

An embodiment in which the attachment point of the device for arranging a baby or small child can be changed is also essential. This is particularly important in the above-described embodiment of a sleeping bag, since this can then be used not only for a baby, but also for a significantly longer toddler over a long service life, since the attachment point parallel to the growth of the child in the direction can be moved to the foot part of the sleeping bag.

A specific embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the device for arranging a baby or small child is formed from a one-piece, flat fastening element arranged in the middle of the lower part, which has three fastening straps, which protrude between the legs and on both sides of the pelvis and are brought together and fastened to one another in the middle above the pelvis.

Such a fastening device is very convenient for babies and small children, since it is hardly bulky and therefore cannot cause any pressure points. The attachment of the pelvis of the baby or small child is also possible very quickly and reliably.

Further advantages of the invention result from the following dependent claims and from the description of an exemplary embodiment. Show it:

• 1 a top view of a sleeping bag according to the invention fixed on a mattress,
• 2 a representation according to 1 with open sleeping bag,
• 3 a representation according to 2 with a toddler or baby tied to the sleeping bag,
• 4 a representation according to 3 with a closed sleeping bag,
• 5 a sectional view according to section line VV in 1 .

In the drawings, a textile base for supporting babies and small children is denoted by the reference number 10 as a whole.

In the described and in the 1 until 5 In the exemplary embodiments illustrated, the textile base has a device 11 (see 2 ) for the arrangement of a baby or small child 12 also has an upper part 13, which has a zipper 14 (see 2 ) is detachably connected to the textile base 10. This embodiment is collectively referred to as a sleeping bag S.

In the 1 the sleeping bag S is arranged centrally on a mattress 15 which is surrounded by a bed frame 16. Eyelets 17 are arranged on both sides of the sleeping bag S, on each of which an elastic belt 18 can be detachably attached.

In a way that is not shown, instead of an elastic belt 18, a non-elastic belt 18 with a tensioning device can also be provided.

Ultimately, the 1 that the upper part 13 is provided with a V-shaped section 19 pointing towards the head of a baby or small child 12 (not shown there), so that the distance between a head K of the baby or small child 12 and the upper limit of the upper part 13 is greater (see Fig . 4 ).

In the 2 one recognizes that the in 1 shown sleeping bag S has been opened. The device for arranging 11 a baby/small child can thus be seen in the middle of the textile base 10 .

The device for arrangement 11 consists of a one-piece textile fastening element 21 arranged centrally by a seam 20 on the textile base 10, which has two lateral fastening straps 22 and one fastening strap 23 projecting towards the foot end of the sleeping bag S. The lateral fastening tabs 22 are each provided with a textile loop-having element of a Velcro fastener pointing towards the viewer, while the fastening tab 23 is provided with a hook side 25 of a Velcro fastener pointing away from the viewer.

In the 3 you can see that a baby or toddler 12 is now lying with its pelvic area on the flat fastening element 21 and first the fastening strap 23 and then the lateral fastening straps 22 are brought together in such a way that the loop sides 24 of the Velcro fastener can be firmly arranged on the hook side 25 of the Velcro fastener . The baby or toddler 12 is thus securely fixed on the textile base 10, but with a certain lateral freedom of movement.

Of course, the fastening straps 22, 23 can also be connected to one another by snap fasteners, hooks or the like.

In the 4 is just according to the situation 3 shown with closed sleeping bag S. It can be seen that due to the V-neckline 19 of the sleeping bag S there is advantageously a large distance between the mouth and nose area of the baby/infant 12 and the upper boundary of the upper part 13 .

Ultimately, the 5 a sectional view through the 1 . It can be seen that the elastic straps 18 are guided around the mattress 15 and are detachably arranged on the eyelets 17 in a manner that is not shown.

In the 5 The arrangement described also has the significant advantage when a caregiver is traveling with their baby or toddler 12, because they can then replace a cot that would otherwise have to be carried along. The device according to the invention makes it possible to safely sleep a baby or small child 12 on any conceivable mattress, part of the sofa or the like, without a cot being necessary.
