Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif utilisable en puériculture, au moment des soins et de la toilette des bébés.The present invention relates to a device usable in childcare, at the time of care and toilet of babies.

Les différents accessoires de maintien de jeunes bébés actuellement utilisés sont destinés à assurer soit le confort en position assise, soit la sécurité à l'intérieur d'un véhicule, soit le maintien au moment de la distribution de nourriture, ou au cours de son initiation à la marche.The various accessories for keeping young babies currently in use are intended to ensure either comfort in the seated position, or safety inside a vehicle, or support during the distribution of food, or during its initiation. walking.

Pour résoudre le problème particulier de sécurité dans le bain, on connaît des dispositifs flottants, qui épousent la forme du dos et de la nuque et qui sont fixés par des attaches sur la poitrine et éventuellement sur le front pour soulever le visage hors de l'eau (DE-A-2 335 573 et US-A-2 093 964). Ces dispositifs qui sont uniquement destinés au bain ne sont guère utilisables pour les autres soins et la toilette, car, ou bien ils ne permettent pas le libre mouvement des membres, ou bien ils n'assurent aucun maintien efficace en dehors de l'eau.To solve the particular problem of safety in the bath, floating devices are known, which follow the shape of the back and the neck and which are fixed by fasteners on the chest and possibly on the forehead to lift the face out of the water (DE-A-2 335 573 and US-A-2 093 964). These devices which are only intended for the bath are hardly usable for the other care and the toilet, because, either they do not allow the free movement of the members, or they do not ensure any effective maintenance out of the water.

Dans ce même but de sécurité dans le bain, on a proposé, dans FR-A-2 409 034 une baignoire en forme de coquille rigide dont le fond a une courbure destinée à supporter la face dorsale du bébé,avec un appui occipital et un appui fessier. Le fait qu'il s'agit d'une baignoire, avec un dispositif d'évacuation d'eau et des parois latérales relative- hautes rend ce dispositif difficilement utilisable pour les soins et la toilette.For the same purpose of safety in the bath, we have proposed, in FR-A-2 409 034 a bathtub in the form of a rigid shell, the bottom of which has a curvature intended to support the dorsal side of the baby, with occipital support and a buttock support. The fact that it is a bathtub, with a water drainage device and relatively high side walls makes this device difficult to use for care and grooming.

._Le but de l'invention est de fournir un disposi- tif permettant le maintien en toute sécurité d'un bébé en position allongée sur le dos ou sur le ventre, avec une liberté totale de mouvement de ses membres antérieurs et postérieurs, ce dispositif permettant, dans le cas particulier d'utilisation au moment du bain de bébé, de maintenir celui-ci la tête hors de l'eau, laissant à la personne chargée de la toilette de l'enfant la possibilité de s'éloigner momentanément.._The object of the invention is to provide a device allowing the safe maintenance of a baby in a lying position on the back or on the belly, with total freedom of movement of its front and rear members, this device allowing, in the particular case of use at the time of the baby bath, to keep it the head above water, leaving to the person responsible for the toilet of the child the possibility of moving away momentarily.

Pour atteindre ce résultat, l'invention fournit un dispositif de maintien d'un bébé comprenant une coquille dont le fond est incurvé de façon à supporter la face dorsale du bébé, et qui comporte un appui occipital et un appui fessier, caractérisé en ce que ladite coquille est découpée symétriquement par rapport à son axe médian longitudinal de façon à réaliser un appui central, un appui occipital ou mentonnier et un appui fessier, ces trois parties étant reliées entre elles par une bande centrale plus étroite.To achieve this result, the invention provides a device for holding a baby comprising a shell, the bottom of which is curved so as to support the dorsal side of the baby, and which comprises an occipital support and a gluteal support, characterized in that said shell is cut symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal median axis so as to produce a central support, an occipital or chin support and a gluteal support, these three parts being connected together by a narrower central strip.

Suivant des modalités préférées, la partie centrale porte deux ailes faisant retour de façon à contenir l'enfant latéralement entre les aisselles et les hanches ; l'appui occipital ou mentonnier est muni de deux ailes faisant retour de manière à contenir la tête de l'enfant latéralement,respectivement en arrière des oreilles ou contre les joues, l'axe médian longitudinal s'incurvant de façon inverse dans cette zone ; et l'autre extrémité de la coquille se terminant par une remontée d'un rayon de courbure plus petit, réalisant l'appui fessier, cette remontée étant munie également de deux ailes latérales concourant avec les ailes de la partie centrale à ceinturer partiellement les cuisses du bébé. Les découpes de la bordure périphérique de la coquille laissent subsister entre chacune des trois zones d'appui ainsi réalisées une bande centrale dont la largeur autorise une relative flexibilité sans pour autant nuire à la bonne résistance mécanique de l'ensemble. La coquille comporte une embase de surface suffisante pour lui assurer un appui au sol selon une stabilité parfaite : cette embase peut être du.type ventouse pour assurer une solidarisation de la coquille avec la baignoire. La liaison de l'appui occipital avec la partie centrale peut être du type télescopique par coulissement de manière à adapter l'appareil à la morphologie du bébé.According to preferred methods, the central part carries two wings making a return so as to contain the child laterally between the armpits and the hips; the occipital or chin support is provided with two wings making a return so as to contain the child's head laterally, respectively behind the ears or against the cheeks, the longitudinal median axis curving inversely in this zone; and the other end of the shell ending in a rise of a smaller radius of curvature, achieving the gluteal support, this rise also being provided with two lateral wings competing with the wings of the central part to partially surround the thighs of the baby. The cutouts of the peripheral edge of the shell allow between each of the three bearing zones thus produced a central strip whose width allows relative flexibility without compromising the good mechanical strength of the assembly. The shell has a base with sufficient surface area to provide it with support on the ground according to perfect stability: this base can be du.type suction cup to ensure that the shell is secured to the bathtub. The connection of the occipital support with the central part can be of the telescopic type by sliding so as to adapt the device to the morphology of the baby.

Les dessins annexés illustrent à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à la présente invention. Ceux-ci représentent :

  • - en figure 1, une vue en élévation du dispositif maintenant le bébé en appui dorsal,
  • - en figure 2, une vue en élévation du dispositif maintenant le bébé en appui ventral,
  • - en figure 3, une vue de dessus du dispositif.
The accompanying drawings illustrate by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of the device according to the present invention. These represent:
  • - in FIG. 1, an elevation view of the device keeping the baby in back support,
  • in FIG. 2, an elevation view of the device holding the baby in ventral support,
  • - In Figure 3, a top view of the device.

Tel que représenté, le dispositif est constitué d'une coquille 1 de forme semi-ovoide réalisant une sorte de berceau et dont la courbure de profil longitudinal est destinée à supporter sur toute sa longueur la face dorsale ou la face ventrale du bébé. Symétriquement, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal médian de la coquille, la bordure périphérique de celle-ci est découpée de façon à réaliser une partie centrale la, un appui occipital ou mentonnier lb et un appui fessier lc : ces trois parties étant reliées entre elles par une bande centrale ld. C'est ainsi que la partie centrale la est bordée latéralement par deux ailes le faisant retour de chaque côté de la bande centrale ; ces deux ailes assurent la retenue du corps dans la zone s'étendant des aisselles aux hanches. La partie lb destinée .à servir d'appui à la nuque ou du menton correspondant au prolongement de la bande centrale ld, cette dernière s'incurvant cependant de façon inverse dans cette zone pour réaliser un support sensiblement horizontal, bordé latéralement par deux ailes lf faisant retour de chaque côté de ladite bande centrale pour assurer la retenue de la tête par appui de celle-ci derrière les oreilles ou sur les joues. La partie opposée le correspondant également au prolongement de la bande centrale ld, la courbure de laquelle, dans cette zone, a un rayon plus petit pour réaliser une remontée voisine de la verticale; cette partie le réalisant l'appui fessier est munie de deux ailes latérales lg situées dans le même plan que la bande centrale, coopérant avec les ailes le de la partie centrale la pour ceinturer partiellement les cuisses du bébé tout en laissant à celles-ci une liberté de mouvement. Les raccordements des ailes le, lf, et lg avec la bande centrale 1d s'effectuent au moyen d'arrondis suffisamment prononcés de manière à éviter toute gêne et blessure du bébé. La coquille 1 est sustentée au moyen d'une embase 2 de surface propre à lui assurer une parfaite stabilité, quelle que soit la turbulence de son occupant : cette embase peut être une ventouse pour rendre l'appareil solidaire du fond de la baignoire ou du bassin dans lequel s'effectue la toilette du bébé.As shown, the device consists of a shell 1 of semi-ovoid shape making a kind of cradle and whose curvature of longitudinal profile is intended to support over its entire length the dorsal or ventral side of the baby. Symmetrically, with respect to the median longitudinal axis of the shell, the peripheral edge of the latter is cut so as to produce a central part 1a, an occipital or mental support 1b and a gluteal support 1c: these three parts being connected between them by a central strip ld. This is as well as the central part 1a is bordered laterally by two wings making it return on each side of the central strip; these two wings provide restraint for the body in the area extending from the armpits to the hips. The part 1b intended to serve as a support for the nape of the neck or the chin corresponding to the extension of the central strip ld, the latter however bending inversely in this zone to produce a substantially horizontal support, bordered laterally by two wings lf making return on each side of said central strip to ensure the retention of the head by pressing it behind the ears or on the cheeks. The opposite part also corresponds to the extension of the central strip 1d, the curvature of which, in this zone, has a smaller radius to achieve a rise close to the vertical; this part carrying out the gluteal support is provided with two lateral wings lg located in the same plane as the central strip, cooperating with the wings of the central part to partially encircle the baby's thighs while leaving them a freedom of movement. The connections of the wings le, lf, and lg with the central strip 1d are effected by means of sufficiently pronounced rounds so as to avoid any discomfort and injury to the baby. The shell 1 is supported by a base 2 with a surface suitable for ensuring perfect stability, whatever the turbulence of its occupant: this base can be a suction cup to make the device integral with the bottom of the bathtub or the basin in which the baby is washed.

Le dispositif peut être réalisé en tout matériau formable, moulable ou injectable et avoir, sans limite de forme, un attrait esthétique: d'animaux, d'oiseaux, d'objets...etc.The device can be made of any formable, moldable or injectable material and have, without limit of shape, an aesthetic appeal: of animals, birds, objects ... etc.

L'invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation spécialement décrit : elle embrasse toutes les variantes possibles à condition que celles-ci ne soient pas en contradiction avec l'objet de chacune des revendications annexées à la présente description. C'est ainsi que la bande centrale ld reliant la partie centrale le à la partie lb peut être prévue extensible en longueur de manière à adapter l'appareil à la morphologie et à la taille du bébé. I1 peut aussi être prévu que la liaison de la coquille avec l'embase est réglable en position afin de trouver la position et le niveau d'inclinaison optimaux pour le sujet maintenu par la bande centrale.The invention is not limited to the embodiment specially described: it embraces all possible variants provided that these are not in contradiction with the subject of each of the claims appended to this description. Thus the central strip 1d connecting the central part 1c to the part 1b can be provided extendable in length so as to adapt the device to the morphology and size of the baby. I1 can also be provided that the connection of the shell with the base is adjustable in position in order to find the optimal position and level of inclination for the subject maintained by the central strip.

Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, peut être employé pour différents usages en puériculture, tels que les soins et la toilette du bébé; l'invention peut également être utilisée pour bébés et adultes dans les c'entres de traitement de thalassothérapie.The device, object of the invention, can be used for different uses in childcare, such as baby care and hygiene; the invention can also be used for babies and adults in thalassotherapy treatment centers.
