Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a child support.
- It is often desirable to carry a child or infant rather than push it in a push-chair. This is particularly so for infants of from 6 months to 3 years, where the close proximity of the child when carried by a carrier, particularly a parent provides comfort and security for both the child and the parent, as well as leaving the parents' hands free. Moreover, some push-chairs can be harmful to the satisfactory development of the posture of the infant, so that carrying is again beneficial for the infant. However, even a small infant can be heavy to carry, particularly for long periods.
- It is accordingly an object of the invention to seek to mitigate this disadvantage.
- According to the invention there is provided a device for supporting the child on the body of a human carrier, comprising a seat for the child, and a brace projecting from the seat and adapted in use to rest against part of the body of the carrier whereby to support the seat.
- Using the invention it is possible to provide a device which allows both males and females to support the weight of the child at the hip, particularly at the male hip which is not such a natural seat as that of the female.
- The brace may have a curved configuration so that it can rest against and seat at least partially round a thigh of the carrier
- The device may be substantially inverted L-shape in use, the arms of the L- comprising the seat and the leg thereof comprising the brace.
- The distal end of the brace may be curved towards the seat.
- There may be a support between the brace and the seat.
- The device may be formed in one piece from plastic or fibreglass material.
- The device may be used in combination with means to support the device from a shoulder of the carrier.
- The support means may comprise a strap which extends from one side of the device to the other.
- There may also be a belt for passing round the waist of a carrier.
- The device may also include a carrying receptacle which may have means to support it from the device.
- The carrying receptacle may comprise a bag which is adapted to receive the device as an insert and which may be suspended from the seat by a top or lid which may comprise the supporting means.
- The top or lid may have padding whereby to provide additional comfort in the seat.
- There may be closable openings of the bag at two opposite sides, so that the bag can be worn on the left or right hand side of the carrier.
- The bag may have padding adjacent the brace.
- The bag may comprise a washable material.
- Devices embodying the invention, for supporting a child on the body of a human carrier, are diagrammatically illustrated, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device of Fig. 1 supported on the body of a human male carrier;
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view in phantom of the device of Figs. 1 and 2, in combination with a carrying receptacle;
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view like Fig. 5, showing the outward appearance of the device;
- Fig. 5 is a perspective front view of a second embodiment of device according to the invention;
- Fig. 6 is a perspective rear view of the device of Fig. 5; and
- Fig. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device of Figs. 5 and 6.
- Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 of the drawings there is shown a
device 1 for supporting a child on the body of ahuman carrier 2, comprising aseat 3 for the child, and a brace 4 projecting from the seat and adapted in use to rest againstpart 5 of the body of the carrier whereby to support theseat 3. - The
device 1 is moulded integrally in one piece from plastics, eg. fibreglass, and is of substantially L-shape, the "L" being inverted in use as shown. The brace 4 is curved in a concave direction in the direction of projection of theseat 3 so as to fit round thepart 5, which is the upper thigh of thecarrier 2. - The
seat 3 is relatively rigid, as is the brace 4. - The inside corner of the "L" acts as a support or
strut 6 between the brace 4 and theseat 3 for assisting in supporting theseat 3. - There is means at opposite edges of the seat in the form of through
apertures 7, so that the device can be used in combination with support means in the form of a shoulder strap 8 which is broad, padded and adjustable so as to provide maximum comfort for thecarrier 2. - The brace 4 also has holes 9 at upper opposite edges thereof so that the
device 1 can be mounted on a waistband orbelt 10 which is fastenable round the waist of thecarrier 2. Thebelt 10 is adjustable. - The distal end of the brace 4 is turned outwardly to provide a smooth lower edge or
lip 11 which does not cut into thethigh 5 of thecarrier 2 in use. - The
device 1 is used in combination with a receptacle in the form of abag 12 which is a carrier, suitably for nappies, wet-wipes, bottles etc., required by the child. The bag is slipped over thedevice 1 which becomes an insert therefor to keep thebag 12 extended. Thebag 12 has a top orlid 13 which is padded to make theseat 3 comfortable for the child, and also has padding on arear surface 14 which in use is between the brace 4 and thethigh 5 of thehuman carrier 2, to provide comfort for thecarrier 2. Thebag 12 has through apertures aligned with theapertures 7 and 9 so that the shoulder strap 8 and thebelt 10 can be passed therethrough to provide a unitary seat and bag device. - The
bag 12 comprises, or is covered with, a washable material, and has twoopposite apertures 15 closed by closure means such aszip fasteners 15 extending longitudinally thereof. The bag has afront pouch 17. - The device and
bag 12 are symmetrical so that they can be worn on eitherthigh 5 with equal facility, or stated in another way, they can be supported by the strap 8 from either shoulder of the human carrier. - In use the strap 8 is adjusted to the correct length and is slipped over the desired shoulder and the
device 1 is also adjusted on thebelt 10 so that the net result is that theseat 3 rests neatly at the hip of the human carrier, male or female, with the brace 4 receiving and resting against the outside of thethigh 5. Theseat 3 is then supported by the brace 4, in a substantiallyhorizontal position 10 so that an infant can sit on the seat and clasp the body of the carrier, so that the child is carried safely and in comfort, the carrier having his or her hands free. When thebag 12 is used, accoutrements of the child can be placed inside for ease of carriage too. - Referring now to Figs. 5 to 7, there is shown a second embodiment of
device 20 for supporting a child on the body of a human carrier, comprising aseat 21 for the child and abrace 22 projecting from theseat 21 and adapted in use to rest against part (the thigh) of the body of the carrier whereby to support theseat 21. - The
seat 21 andbrace 22 are integral, moulded in two pieces of plastic which are joined together as by glueing plastics or welding along amedian line 24, to provide a substantially 'L'-shape device which is an inverted 'L' in use. Each of the two pieces forms part of theseat 21 and thebrace 22, and the median line also extends from theseat 21 to thebrace 22. This construction is inherently strong and requires no separate support between brace and seat. - The
seat 21 has an upper (in use) surface on which a child sits in use, and a curved lower 25 surface which merges into or becomes thebrace 22 which is concave for fitting round the thigh of a carrier. There is an angle of about 110° between theseat 21 andbrace 22 so that in use theseat 21 has a natural incline which tends to move a child on the seat towards the body of the human carrier which provides for safety in ensuring the child is not tipped off theseat 21, and comfort as the child experiences the close proximity of the carrier, usually its father or mother. The angle of 110° could be varied between 100° and 120° as desired. - The
seat 21 is hollow. Thehollow seat 21 is used as a housing for a bag or cover (not shown) of flexible material such as plastic which is secured to the underside of the upper surface of the seat adjacent theentrance 26 to thehollow interior 27 of theseat 21 by suitable means as for example VELCRO (Registered Trade Mark) or elastic. - The bag or cover can then be permanently attached to the
device 20 and, if desired can be pulled out of thehollow interior 27 of theseat 21 and folded down round the device for unobtrusive carrying thereof. When the bag or cover is stowed, it is simply folded and tucked into thehollow interior 27 of the seat so that the bag or cover is out of sight. - The
device 20 has formed in it through apertures in the form of fourslots 28 through which flexible adjustable support means such asstraps - The
device 20 can be worn on either thigh with equal facility, or stated in another way, they can be supported by the strap from either shoulder of the human carrier. - The
device 20 is used to support a child in the same way as thedevice 1, that is to say in use thestrap 30 is adjusted to the correct length and is slipped over the desired shoulder and thedevice 20 is also adjusted on thebelt 29 which is also adjusted for length so that the net result is that theseat 21 rests neatly at the hip of the human carrier, male or female, with thebrace 22 receiving in its concave form, and resting against the outside, of the thigh of the carrier. Theseat 21 is then supported by thebrace 22, so that an infant can sit on the seat and clasp the body of the carrier, so that the child is carried safely and in comfort, the carrier having his or her hands free. - In either embodiment, the seat may be ergonometrically designed too, like the brace to provide a shape complementary, or nearly to, to the posterior of the child. Moreover, the seat and the brace could comprise a metal or plastic framework, which can then be covered by a suitable material.
- The brace extends solely below the seat in use and the surface of the seat forms the upper surface of the whole device (excluding any supporting straps by which the device may be suspended from the carrier). It is therefore easy to place the child in the device and remove the child therefrom without impediments which might otherwise exist above the seat surface.
- The concave shape of the brace surface intended to face the thigh of the carrier extends the full length of the brace, so that pressure is more uniformly distributed.
