DE202005013951U1 - Baby transport device to be joined to car seat, comprising extending handle and wheels - Google Patents

Abstract

The device is designed as a shell in an ergonomic shape and made of a rigid plastic. A baby not yet able to sit in a safety seat can be transported in a lying position either using the carrying handle or by strapping the shell to a car seat. The new design is fitted with an extending handle (1) and wheels (2) in order to be pulled across a small distance as from the house to the vehicle or inside a super market. The wheels (2) are joined to a swivel mounted axle (3) and can be stored at the rear of the shell when not in use.

Description

- Problem:

babies and infants are usually within the apartment in the existing and frequently used car baby carriers, strapped and strapped subsequently to the car, or to the bus / train stop, carried to the vehicle to be transported (and retraced the same way). The baby bowls with a child quickly weigh 10 kg and more and are in spite of the existing Carrying handle bulky and difficult to carry, so that the user pretty much must plague. Especially for Mothers who also possibly have to take more children, or the purchases wear, this condition is difficult to expect.

- Technical status:

There are the conventional baby carriers as a carrying version with the above-mentioned problems, as well as additional devices that allow a more comfortable transport, such as strollers or rollable carrying racks ('joggers'), with which by the use of adapters, the baby carrier can be transported. For this purpose, however, a separate device, which takes away space during transport and is bulky, must be taken. With publication DE 101 08 415 A1 a baby seat was announced, which has on the handle another arm with wheel around a common pick-up point, so in principle allows pulling the baby car seat. A disadvantage of this construction is the higher tendency to tipping when pulling and thus a higher risk for the child. Since the recording of the carrying handle is not bowl-centered, the handling is further complicated when carrying and the shell tilts due to the burden of the baby and the axle position may be in an undesirable tilt. As a result of the joint Anlenk- / receiving point for the handle and the wheel axle and the locking described should be technically difficult there and also complicate the handling of the user unnecessarily.

- Solution:

A 'rollable car-car seat', at the outside at the foot end at least 2 wheels ( 2 ) on a separate, pivotable axle ( 3 ) and its carrying handle ( 1 ) is designed extendable. If necessary, the wheels can swing down and the baby seat can be used as a rollable transport device. The separate axle on the foot part of the shell allows easy locking in the two end positions, high tilt stability during rolling operation by externally mounted wheels and thus more security. Due to the design, the wheels are larger (possibly even with air) as in DE 101 08 415 A1 can be performed, a comfort gain for the baby due to better self-suspension is to be expected.

Of the Carrying handle can be swung in different positions and pulled out be (length and Position are depending on operator size and preference latchable or lockable). Subsequently, the construction can be pulled behind the operator without the child from the infant carrier must be taken and without further external means of transport (stroller, 'jogger', etc.) must be used.

By Central arrangement of the swiveling carrying handle, the infant carrier also as a normal 'wearing version', e.g. at very short Because of the garage, to be used.

Important and reason for the separate arrangement of support arm and wheel guide is that both types of operation (Rolling and carrying position) are 'baby-friendly', so the head slightly increased remains.

The Achs / Radkonstruktion is designed so that the infant carrier when folded wheels placed on the ground as well as seesaw can be used there the underbody is skid-shaped is trained. The . folded wheels thus serve simultaneously as a path limiter for the swing exchange at the foot, the downwards pivoted and locked carrying handle as a limitation head side.

- Field of application and commercial Use:

The Field of application is very large and suitable as a convenient and clever solution for all parents and users, your children) quickly and without much effort on smaller routes from and to the car. The rollable car seat is designed for short distances and should not be baby carriages or replace 'Jogger', the also for more routes on foot better are suitable. Applications include: Transport from the apartment to the car in the underground car park or more distant parking lot, take away when shopping or shorter Visits or settlements. Especially in the city arises due to the small footprint is a real advantage.

Of the Sales can over Department stores, supermarkets, the specialist, toy and mail order trade.

- Possible ways to be carried out:

Base shell: Either a completely new shape for the shell is developed, or modified in cooperation with a manufacturer an existing model. In the plastic need Receivers and reinforcements for the pivotable axle are introduced.

axle: The axis may e.g. 'ömegaförmig', only with straight Thighs (ie U-shape with outside each a right-wheel mounted wheel mount) executed. To be on the shell housing for the both axis positions 'rocker' or 'roll version' arresting holder (e.g., brackets or the like), that make it possible to hold the axle in the respective position. The wheels could be out soft solid rubber (maintenance free) or as an air version because of Damping properties are performed.

Carrying handle: The swiveling carrying handle or better said the carrying handle is as expansible version executed by nested profiles, the depending on user size and preference latched or locked is executed. Possible solutions would be e.g. 'Arretierkugeln', or rotatable locking mechanisms (such as extendable ski poles).

Additional Features: The rollable car seat can also be added as follows Features include: Wiping function, carrying handle with hanging loop, so that the device as a swing can be used, storage compartment for diapers, bottle, etc., rain Sunscreen, bracket for Baby bottle, storage box for the pacifier, holder for baby monitor,
