Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tragevorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a carrying device according to claim 1.

Eine derartige Tragevorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus WO 2005/025383 A2 bekannt. Sie umfasst einen Aufnahmekörper mit einer oberen Kante, einer unteren Kante und zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten. Zudem weist die Tragevorrichtung ein Tragegeschirrsystem mit einem Hüftgurt, zwei Schultergurten und einem Brustgurt auf. Der Hüftgurt ist dazu geeignet, die Hüfte des Trägers zu umschließen. Er hat eine obere Kante, die mit der unteren Kante des Aufnahmekörpers derart verbunden ist, dass der Aufnahmekörper im Wesentlichen mittig oberhalb des Hüftgurtes zentriert ist. Ein oberes Ende jedes Schultergurtes ist mit einer oberen Ecke des Aufnahmekörpers und ein unteres Ende jedes Schultergurtes ist mit dem Aufnahmekörper unterhalb des oberen Endes des Schultergurtes derart verbunden, dass jeder Schultergurt eine Schlaufe bildet. Der Brustgurt ist gleitbar an jedem seiner Enden mit den Schultergurten verbunden. Ferner weist die Tragevorrichtung ein Kopfteil auf, das eine obere Kante, eine untere Kante und zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenkanten umfasst, wobei die untere Kante des Kopfteils an der oberen Kante des Aufnahmekörpers derart befestigt ist, dass das Kopfteil im Wesentlichen oberhalb des Aufnahmekörpers zentriert ist. Zudem sind schlaufenartig ausgebildete Befestigungselemente an jeder oberen Ecke des Kopfteils befestigt, wobei die Befestigungselemente mit Hilfe von lösbaren Verbindungselementen am Brustgurt gehalten sind.Such a carrying device is for example off WO 2005/025383 A2 known. It comprises a receiving body with an upper edge, a lower edge and two opposite side edges. In addition, the carrying device has a carrying harness system with a hip belt, two shoulder straps and a chest strap. The hip belt is adapted to enclose the hips of the wearer. It has an upper edge which is connected to the lower edge of the receiving body such that the receiving body is centered substantially centrally above the waist belt. An upper end of each shoulder belt is connected to an upper corner of the receiving body and a lower end of each shoulder belt is connected to the receiving body below the upper end of the shoulder belt such that each shoulder belt forms a loop. The chest strap is slidably connected to the shoulder straps at each of its ends. Furthermore, the carrying device has a head part comprising an upper edge, a lower edge and two opposite side edges, wherein the lower edge of the head part is fixed to the upper edge of the receiving body such that the head part is centered substantially above the receiving body. In addition, loop-shaped fastening elements are attached to each upper corner of the head part, wherein the fasteners are held by means of releasable fasteners on the chest strap.

Ein solcher Aufbau schafft eine Tragevorrichtung, in der ein Baby oder ein Kleinkind zwischen dem Aufnahmekörper und wahlweise dem Rücken oder der Brust des Trägers gehalten werden kann, wobei die dazu erforderliche Andrückkraft erzeugt wird, indem die Schultergurte, der Hüftgurt und der Brustgurt geschlossen und entsprechend eingestellt werden. Ein wesentlicher Nachteil dieser Tragevorrichtung besteht jedoch darin, dass sie nicht an die Größe des in der Tragevorrichtung aufzunehmenden Babies bzw. Kindes anpassbar ist. Beispielsweise können Neugeborene in dem Aufnahmekörper versinken oder absacken, während der Bereich des Rückens von größeren Kleinkindern bereist nicht mehr ausreichend gestützt wird.Such a construction provides a carrying device in which a baby or toddler can be held between the receiving body and optionally the back or chest of the wearer, the required pressing force being generated by closing and correspondingly engaging the shoulder straps, waist belt and chest belt be set. However, a major disadvantage of this carrying device is that it is not adaptable to the size of the baby or child to be accommodated in the carrying device. For example, newborns may sink or sag in the receiving body while the area of the back of large infants is no longer sufficiently supported.

Fig. 1 ist eine Rückansicht einer ersten Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Tragevorrichtung, die allgemein mit der Bezugsziffer 10 bezeichnet ist. Die Tragevorrichtung 10 umfasst ein Aufnahmesystem mit einem Aufnahmekörper 12, in dem zumindest ein Bereich der Rückseite eines Kleinkindes aufnehmbar ist. Fig. 1 is a rear view of a first embodiment of a carrying device according to the invention, which is generally designated by the reference numeral 10. The carrying device 10 comprises a receiving system with a receiving body 12, in which at least a portion of the back of a small child is receivable.

Der Aufnahmekörper 12 ist aus einem stabilen, ein- oder zweilagigen Stoff oder stoffähnlichen, formbaren und leicht elastischen Material hergestellt und weist im Wesentlichen eine rechteckige bzw. trapezförmige Form mit einer Oberkante 14, einer Unterkante 16 und zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten 18 und 20 auf. Er besteht bei der vorliegenden Ausführungsform aus drei einteilig miteinander ausgebildeten und übereinander angeordneten Abschnitten, nämlich aus einem Hauptabschnitt 22, einem über den Hauptabschnitt 22 angeordneten Verlängerungsabschnitt 24 und einem darüber angeordneten Abschlussabschnitt 26.The receiving body 12 is made of a stable, one or two-ply fabric or cloth-like, malleable and slightly elastic material and has substantially a rectangular or trapezoidal shape with an upper edge 14, a lower edge 16 and two opposite side edges 18 and 20. In the present embodiment, it consists of three sections formed integrally with one another and arranged one above the other, namely a main section 22, an extension section 24 arranged above the main section 22 and a terminating section 26 arranged above it.

An den linienförmigen Übergangsbereichen zwischen dem Hauptabschnitt 22 und dem Verlängerungsabschnitt 24 sowie zwischen dem Verlängerungsabschnitt 24 und dem Abschlussabschnitt 26 ist jeweils ein mit Krampen versehener Reißverschlussstreifen 28, 30 angeordnet, wobei die Reißverschlussstreifen 28 und 30 nebeneinander positionierbar und unter Zusammenwirkung mit einem Reißverschlussschieber 32 aneinander befestigt werden können, wie es in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist. In dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten Zustand der Tragevorrichtung 10 sind die Reißverschlussstreifen 28 und 30 jedoch voneinander beabstandet, so dass der Verlängerungsabschnitt 24 die Gesamthöhe des Aufnahmekörpers 12 um die Höhe h des Verlängerungsabschnitts 24 vergrößert. Im oberen Bereich des Hauptabschnitts 22, der im Wesentlichen zur Aufnahme des Pobereiches des Kleinkindes dient, sind mehrere Abnäher 34 angebracht, die dem Hauptabschnitt 22 eine leichte Hohlform verleihen, so dass das Kind anatomisch korrekt wie in einer vorgeformten Tasche sitzt und die Oberschenkel leicht angehockt sind. Zur Erhöhung des Komforts kann der Aufnahmekörper 12 in Bereichen 23 zusätzlich gepolstert sein, insbesondere damit die Oberschenkel des Kindes keine Druckstellen bekommen.At the line-shaped transitional areas between the main portion 22 and the extension portion 24 and between the extension portion 24 and the termination portion 26, there is provided a cramped zipper strip 28, 30, the zipper strips 28 and 30 being juxtaposed and secured together in cooperation with a zipper slider 32 can be as it is in Fig. 3 is shown. In the in Fig. 1 however, the zipper strips 28 and 30 are spaced apart so that the extension portion 24 increases the overall height of the receiving body 12 by the height h of the extension portion 24. In the upper region of the main portion 22, which essentially serves to receive the toe area of the infant, a plurality of darts 34 are provided, which give the main portion 22 a slight hollow shape, so that the child sits anatomically correct as in a preformed pocket and slightly thighs the thighs are. To increase the comfort of the receiving body 12 may be additionally padded in areas 23, in particular so that the thighs of the child get no pressure points.

An den Seiten des Aufnahmekörpers 12 steht je eine längliche unterpolstete Lasche 36 über, an der die Verschlußelemente 68 der Schultergurte 62 befestigt sind. In den Abschlussabschnitt des Aufnahmekörpers 12 ist eine in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellte Tasche eingearbeitet, die von der Oberkante 14 des Aufnahmekörpers 12 zugänglich ist. Diese Tasche dient zum Verstauen eines Kopfteils 110, das in Fig. 7 dargestellt ist.On the sides of the receiving body 12 is each an elongated padded flap 36, on which the closure elements 68 of the shoulder straps 62 are attached. In the end portion of the receiving body 12 is an in Fig. 1 not shown pocket incorporated, which is accessible from the upper edge 14 of the receiving body 12. This bag is used for stowing a head part 110, which in Fig. 7 is shown.

An der Unterkante 16 des Aufnahmekörpers 12 ist eine Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 im Wesentlichen mittig befestigt. Die Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 umfasst einen Basiskörper 42, der aus einem länglichen, rechteckigen Stoffmaterial hergestellt ist und stellenweise mit Schaumstoff, Neopren oder einem ähnlich stabilisierenden Material ausgepolstert ist, wodurch eine gute Gewichtsableitung auf die Hüfte des Trägers und ein hoher Tragekomfort gewährleistet sind.At the lower edge 16 of the receiving body 12, a hip belt device 40 is attached substantially centrally. The waist belt device 40 comprises a base body 42 which is made of an elongated, rectangular fabric material and in places padded with foam, neoprene or a similar stabilizing material, whereby a good weight transfer to the hips of the wearer and a high wearing comfort are ensured.

Um die Beweglichkeit des Basiskörpers 42 sicherzustellen, ist dieser durch senkrechte Abnäher 44 in mehrere Teile unterteilt. Zwei flügelartige Ausschnitte 46 am unteren Rand des Basiskörpers 42 verbessern die anatomische Passform und bilden beim Tragen vor dem Bauch entsprechende Ausbuchtungen für die Oberschenkel des Trägers, falls sich dieser knien oder setzen möchte.To ensure the mobility of the base body 42, this is divided by vertical dart 44 into several parts. Two wing-like cutouts 46 at the lower edge of the base body 42 improve the anatomical fit and form when worn from the stomach corresponding bulges for the thighs of the wearer, if he wants to kneel or set.

Ferner umfasst die Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 einen Hüftgurt 48, der sich entlang des Basiskörpers 42 erstreckt und an diesem gehalten ist. Der Hüftgurt 48 kann mit Hilfe eines Verschlusselementes 50 lösbar an der Hüfte einer Person befestigt werden. Das Verschlusselement 50 umfasst zwei Verschlussglieder 52 und 52, die an den freien Enden des Hüftgurtes 48 befestigt sind und nach Art einer Steckverbindung miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden können. Um ein sofortiges Lösen des Hüftgurtes 48 nach dem Öffnen des Verschlusselementes 50 zu verhindern, umfasst die Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 eine Sicherheitseinrichtung 56 in Form einer Schlaufe, durch die beim Verschließen des Verschlusselementes 50 das Verschlussglied 54 geführt wird, bevor es mit dem Verschlussglied 52 in Eingriff gebracht wird. Werden die Verschlussglieder 52 und 54 anschließend voneinander getrennt, so bleibt das Verschlussglied 54 an der schlaufenartig ausgebildeten Sicherheitseinrichtung 56 hängen, so dass die durch die Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 realisierte Befestigung an der Hüfte des Trägers nicht sofort gelöst wird. Auf diese Weise soll verhindert werden, dass beim Öffnen der Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 das in dem Aufnahmekörper 12 der Tragevorrichtung 10 aufgenommene Kleinkind herausfallen kann.Furthermore, the hip belt device 40 comprises a hip belt 48 which extends along the base body 42 and is held thereon. The waist belt 48 can be releasably secured to a person's waist by means of a closure member 50. The closure element 50 comprises two closure members 52 and 52 which are attached to the free ends of the waist belt 48 and can be engaged with each other in the manner of a connector. In order to prevent an immediate release of the hip belt 48 after opening the closure element 50, the hip belt device 40 comprises a safety device 56 in the form of a loop through which the closure member 54 is guided when closing the closure element 50, before it is engaged with the closure member 52 becomes. If the closure members 52 and 54 are subsequently separated from each other, then the closure member 54 remains attached to the loop-shaped safety device 56, so that the through the hip belt device 40 realized attachment to the hip of the wearer is not solved immediately. In this way, it is to be prevented that when the hip belt device 40 is opened, the baby accommodated in the receiving body 12 of the carrying device 10 can fall out.

Unabhängig von alledem verfügt die Hüftgurteinrichtung 40 über eine Verstelleinrichtung 58, die vorliegend einteilig mit dem Verschlussglied 52 des Verschlusselementes 50 ausgebildet ist. Mit Hilfe der Verstelleinrichtung kann die Länge des Hüftgurtes 48 in bekannter Art und Weise verändert werden kann, um diese an den Körperbau und die Größe des Trägers anzupassen.Regardless of all this, the hip belt device 40 has an adjusting device 58, which in the present case is formed integrally with the closure member 52 of the closure element 50. With the aid of the adjusting device, the length of the hip belt 48 can be changed in a known manner in order to adapt it to the physique and the size of the wearer.

Die Tragevorrichtung 10 umfasst weiter eine Schultergurteinrichtung 60 mit Schultergurten 62, die seitlich an der Oberkante 14 des Abschlussabschnittes 26 des Aufnahmekörpers 12 befestigt sind. Seitlich an der Oberkante 14 sind ferner zwei Schulterpolsterabschnitte 65 befestigt, die sich unter den Schultergurten 62 erstrecken und für einen bequemen Sitz der Tragevorrichtung 10 auf den Schultern des Trägers sorgen.The carrying device 10 further comprises a shoulder strap device 60 with shoulder straps 62, which are fastened laterally to the upper edge 14 of the closure section 26 of the receiving body 12. Laterally at the upper edge 14, there are further secured two shoulder pad portions 65 which extend below the shoulder straps 62 and provide for a comfortable fit of the carrier 10 on the shoulders of the wearer.

Wie es insbesondere in Fig. 3 gut zu erkennen ist, sind am Ende jedes Schultergurtes 62 Verschlussglieder 66 angeordnet. Diese Verschlussglieder 66 können mit entsprechenden Verschlussgliedern 68 lösbar in Eingriff gebracht werden, die an seitlich vom Hauptabschnitt 22 des Aufnahmekörpers 12 auswärts vorstehenden Laschen 36 befestigt sind. Werden die Verschlussglieder 66 und 68 miteinander in Eingriff gebracht, bilden die Schultergurte 62 jeweils die Form einer Schlaufe, die über einen Arm gezogen und auf der Schulter des Trägers aufliegend angeordnet werden kann.As it is in particular in Fig. 3 can be seen well, 62 closure members 66 are arranged at the end of each shoulder belt. These closure members 66 may be releasably engaged with corresponding closure members 68 which are secured to tabs 36 projecting laterally from the main portion 22 of the receiving body 12. When the closure members 66 and 68 are engaged with each other, the shoulder straps 62 each form the shape of a loop which can be pulled over an arm and placed over the shoulder of the wearer.

Auch die Schultergurteinrichtung 60 ist wie der Hüftgurt 48 mit Sicherheitseinrichtungen 69 versehen, um ein sofortiges Öffnen der Schlaufen nach dem Öffnen der Verschlusselemente 66, 68 zu verhindern. Jede Sicherheitseinrichtung 69 hat die Form einer Schlaufe, durch die beim Verschließen des Verschlusses das Verschlussglied 66 geführt werden muß, bevor es mit dem Verschlussglied 68 in Eingriff gebracht wird. Werden die Verschlussglieder 66 und 68 anschließend voneinander getrennt, so bleibt das Verschlussglied 66 an der schlaufenartig ausgebildeten Sicherheitseinrichtung 69 hängen, so dass sich die Schultergurtschlaufen nicht sofort öffnen können. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, dass beim Abnehmen der Tragvorrichtung 12 das Baby bzw. das Kleinkind versehentlich herausfallen kann.Like the hip belt 48, the shoulder belt device 60 is also provided with safety devices 69 in order to prevent immediate opening of the loops after the closure elements 66, 68 have been opened. Each safety device 69 has the form of a loop through which the closure member 66 must be guided when closing the closure, before it is brought into engagement with the closure member 68. If the closure members 66 and 68 are subsequently separated from one another, then the closure member 66 remains attached to the loop-like safety device 69, so that the shoulder strap loops can not open immediately. In this way it is prevented that the baby or toddler accidentally fall out when removing the support device 12.

Einteilig mit jedem Verschlussglied 66 ist eine erste Verstelleinrichtung 70 ausgebildet, mit deren Hilfe die Länge jedes Schultergurtes 62 insividuell veränderbar ist. Eine weitere Verstelleinrichtung 72 ist am anderen Ende jedes Schultergurtes 62 vorgesehen. Diese Verstelleinrichtung 72 bewirkt nicht nur eine Verstellung der Schultergurtlänge 62; sie rafft auch den darunter liegenden, bevorzugt ungepolsterten Gurtabschnit 64 zusammen, wenn mit ihrer Hilfe die Länge des Schultergurtes 62 verkürzt wird, wie es auf der linken Seite in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist. Auf diese Weise wird nicht nur die Gurtlänge an den Körperbau des Trägers angepaßt, auch die Position der gepolsterten Abschnitte 65 läßt sich stets optimal wählen.Integral with each closure member 66 is a first adjustment device 70, with the aid of which the length of each shoulder belt 62 can be changed individually. Another adjusting device 72 is provided at the other end of each shoulder belt 62. This adjustment 72 not only causes an adjustment of the shoulder belt length 62; it also gathers up the underlying, preferably unpadded belt portion 64 when, with its help, the length of the shoulder belt 62 is shortened as seen on the left side in FIG Fig. 1 is indicated. In this way, not only the belt length is adapted to the physique of the wearer, and the position of the padded portions 65 can always be optimally selected.

Ferner ist an den Schultergurten 62 jeweils ein D-förmiger Ring 74 gehalten, an dem beispielsweise eine Schnullerkette oder dergleichen befestigt werden kann. Schließlich ist je ein Aufnahmeelement 46 an jedem Schultergurt 62 vorgesehen, dass entlang der Schultergurterstreckungsrichtung bewegbar angeordnet und wahlweise an verschiedenen Positionen an dem jeweiligen Schultergurt 62 festlegbar ist. Die Aufnahmeelemente 76 dienen zur Aufnahme von Befestigungselementen eines Kopfteils, was unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 7 und 8 noch näher erläutert wird.Further, a D-shaped ring 74 is held on the shoulder straps 62, to which, for example, a pacifier chain or the like can be attached. Finally, a receiving element 46 is provided on each shoulder belt 62 that is movably arranged along the shoulder belt extension direction and can be fixed optionally at different positions on the respective shoulder belt 62. The receiving elements 76 serve to receive fastening elements of a head part, which with reference to the FIGS. 7 and 8th will be explained in more detail.
