Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif, dit cale-bébé, pour le maintien d'un nourrisson en position couchée sur le dos.The present invention relates to a device, said baby-hold, for the maintenance of an infant lying supine.

De tels dispositifs, qui se positionnent dans le landau ou le lit du nourrisson, empêchent le nourrisson de rouler sur le côté ou de dormir sur le ventre en vue d'éviter tout blocage de la respiration.Such devices, which are positioned in the pram or the infant's bed, prevent the infant from rolling on his side or sleeping on his stomach to prevent any blockage of breathing.

De tels dispositifs peuvent être indépendants du matelas ou du drap housse recouvrant le matelas ou être intégrés au matelas ou au drap housse de protection du matelas.Such devices may be independent of the mattress or fitted sheet covering the mattress or be integrated in the mattress or mattress protective cover of the mattress.

Les théories relatives à la manière de coucher le nourrisson en vue d'éviter notamment la mort subite du nourrisson ont évolué ces dernières années. Ainsi, il y a une quinzaine d'années, il était préconisé de coucher le nourrisson sur le côté comme l'illustre le brevet US-5.347.669 . Le dispositif comporte dans ce cas deux éléments de calage, l'un s'appliquant sur le dos, l'autre sur le ventre du nourrisson. Les deux bras du nourrisson s'étendent au-dessus de l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément de calage côté ventre. Chaque élément de calage se présente sous forme d'un corps allongé à section transversale trapézoïdale.Theories of how to put the baby to sleep, especially to avoid sudden infant death, have evolved in recent years. Thus, fifteen years ago, it was recommended to put the infant on the side as illustrated by the patent. US 5347669 . The device comprises in this case two wedging elements, one applying on the back, the other on the belly of the infant. Both arms of the infant extend above the upper end of the tummy wedge. Each wedging element is in the form of an elongated body with a trapezoidal cross section.

Depuis quelques années, il est préconisé de coucher le nourrisson sur le dos comme l'illustre le brevet US-6.097.294 . Dans ce document, le dispositif pour le maintien d'un nourrisson en position couchée sur le dos comprend deux corps allongés à section transversale triangulaire. Chaque extrémité de corps allongé est une face inclinée depuis une extrémité en direction de l'autre extrémité du corps allongé. Dans ce dispositif, chaque corps allongé forme une barrière équipée de contacteurs destinés à signaler tout contact avec l'enfant.In recent years, it is recommended to put the baby on the back as shown in the patent US 6097294 . In this document, the device for maintaining a supine infant lying on the back comprises two elongated bodies with triangular cross section. Each elongate body end is an inclined face from one end toward the other end of the elongated body. In this device, each elongate body forms a barrier equipped with contactors for signaling any contact with the child.

Enfin, il existe également un dispositif pour le maintien d'un nourrisson en position couchée sur le dos comprenant au moins deux boudins et un élément, de préférence du genre bande, de liaison desdits boudins entre eux, lesdits boudins, à l'état relié entre eux par ledit élément de liaison, délimitant entre eux, en disposition parallèle de leurs axes longitudinaux, un espace de couchage du nourrisson dans lequel le nourrisson est apte à être couché dans une configuration dans laquelle, les flancs du tronc du nourrisson sont bordés par les boudins, et dans laquelle, les aisselles et au moins une partie des bras du nourrisson sont aptes à venir en appui sur l'une des faces d'extrémité, dite face d'extrémité supérieure des boudins.Finally, there is also a device for maintaining a supine infant lying on the back comprising at least two flanges and an element, preferably of the strip type, connecting said flanges together, said flanges, in the connected state. between them by said connecting element, delimiting between them, in parallel arrangement of their longitudinal axes, an infant sleeping space in which the infant is able to be laid in a configuration in which the flanks of the trunk of the infant are bordered by the strands, and wherein, the armpits and at least a portion of the arms of the infant are adapted to bear on one of the end faces, said upper end face of the strands.

Jusqu'à présent, les faces d'extrémité du boudin, aptes à servir, l'une, dite face d'extrémité supérieure, de face d'appui des aisselles et d'au moins une partie du dessous des bras du nourrisson, l'autre, dite face d'extrémité inférieure du boudin, de face d'appui du dessus des jambes du nourrisson, notamment dans la position jambes écartées du nourrisson, sont des faces parallèles entre elles, perpendiculaires à l'axe longitudinal des boudins.So far, the end faces of the flange, suitable for use, one, said upper end face, bearing surface of the armpits and at least a portion of the underside of the arms of the infant, the other, said bottom end face of the flange, bearing surface of the upper legs of the infant, especially in the position of the infant's legs apart, are mutually parallel faces, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flanges.

Les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins obligent donc le nourrisson, en position couchée, à garder les bras en croix et empêchent tout rabat des bras du nourrisson contre le tronc du nourrisson, ce qui peut rendre la posture fatigante et inconfortable pour le nourrisson.The upper end faces of the tubes thus force the infant, in a supine position, to keep the arms crossed and prevent any flap of the infant's arms against the trunk of the infant, which can make the posturing tiring and uncomfortable for the infant.

Par ailleurs, lorsque le boudin est de longueur trop importante, il peut empêcher un positionnement dit en grenouille des jambes du nourrisson, alors que cette position est l'une des préférées du nourrisson.Moreover, when the pudding is too long, it can prevent frog positioning of the infant's legs, while that this position is one of the infant's favorite.

Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un dispositif de maintien du type précité dont la conception permet au nourrisson couché sur le dos de rabattre partiellement ses bras contre son tronc.An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a holding device of the aforementioned type whose design allows the infant lying on his back to partially fold his arms against his trunk.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de maintien du type précité dont la conception permet au nourrisson d'occuper un plus grand nombre de postures en conservant une surface importante d'appui au sol des boudins sans nécessiter la présence d'un adulte au voisinage.Another object of the present invention is to provide a holding device of the aforementioned type, the design of which allows the infant to occupy a greater number of postures while maintaining a large surface of the ground support of the flanges without requiring the presence of an adult in the neighborhood.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de maintien du type précité dont la conception permet au nourrisson de disposer d'une surface de calage des jambes dans la position dite en grenouille des jambes, cette cale rassurant le nourrisson en ménageant un espace confiné.Another object of the present invention is to provide a holding device of the aforementioned type whose design allows the infant to have a leg wedging surface in the so-called frog position of the legs, this wedge reassuring the infant by providing a confined space.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif, dit cale-bébé, comme revendiqué dans la revendication 1.
Grâce au fait que les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins sont taillées en biseau, c'est-à-dire grâce au fait que les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins forment avec l'axe longitudinal des boudins un angle différent de 90°, et que ces faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins délimitent, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins par ledit élément de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace de couchage du nourrisson, une surface inclinée à pente descendante depuis l'intérieur en direction de l'extérieur de l'espace de couchage, le nourrisson peut déplacer ses bras au-delà de la position en croix et rabattre ses bras en direction de son tronc.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device, known as a baby carriage, as claimed in claim 1.
Due to the fact that the upper end faces of the flanges are bevelled, that is to say thanks to the fact that the upper end faces of the flanges form with the longitudinal axis of the flanges an angle different from 90 ° , and that these upper end faces of the flanges delimit, in the state connected together by the flanges by said connecting element, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space of the infant, a sloping surface downward from the inside towards the outside of the sleeping space, the infant can move his arms beyond the cross position and fold his arms towards his trunk.

A l'état relié entre eux des boudins par ledit élément de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace de couchage du nourrisson, les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins convergent en direction de l'espace entre lesdits boudins.In the state connected together by said connecting element, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space of the infant, the upper end faces of the flanges converge towards the space between said flanges.

Les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins se développent donc de manière inclinée à pente descendante depuis leur zone apte à s'étendre au creux de l'aisselle du nourrisson en direction de l'extrémité libre des bras du nourrisson.The upper end faces of the strands thus develop inclined downward slope from their area adapted to extend in the hollow of the infant armpit towards the free end of the arms of the infant.

Avantageusement, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins par ledit élément de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace de couchage du nourrisson, les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins convergent en un point disposé sur l'axe longitudinal médian de l'espace de couchage formé par l'espace entre lesdits boudins.Advantageously, in the state connected together by said connecting element, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space of the infant, the upper end faces of the flanges converge at a point disposed on the median longitudinal axis of the sleeping space formed by the space between said flanges.

A l'état posé à plat du dispositif, dont les boudins sont reliés entre eux par ledit élément de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace de couchage du nourrisson, les faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins forment, en vue de dessus du dispositif, un V inversé dont la pointe s'étend à l'intérieur de l'espace de couchage formé par l'espace entre lesdits boudins.In the flattened state of the device, the tubes of which are connected to one another by said connecting element, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the tubes for delimiting the sleeping space of the infant, the upper end faces bulks form, in top view of the device, an inverted V whose tip extends inside the sleeping space formed by the space between said flanges.

Et encore, les faces d'extrémité, dite inférieure des boudins, opposées aux faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins, et aptes à former des faces d'appui d'une partie des jambes du nourrisson sont des faces en biseau qui, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins par ledit élément de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace de couchage du nourrisson sont inclinées à pente descendante depuis l'intérieur en direction de l'extérieur de l'espace de couchage. And again, the end faces, said bottom of the flanges, opposite to the upper end faces of the flanges, and able to form bearing faces of part of the infant's legs are beveled faces which, at state connected together by said connecting element, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space of the infant are inclined downwardly from the inside towards the outside of the sleeping space.

La réalisation en biseau des faces d'extrémité inférieure des boudins permet auxdites faces de former des surfaces d'appui du dessus des jambes lorsque les jambes du nourrisson occupent une position dite en grenouille, ce contact d'appui étant apte à rassurer le nourrisson.The beveling of the lower end faces of the strands allows said faces to form support surfaces of the upper legs when the infant's legs occupy a so-called frog position, the contact support being able to reassure the infant.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue à plat d'un dispositif de maintien non conforme à l'invention, le nourrisson ayant été représenté à l'état couché ;
  • La figure 2 représente une vue à plat du mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de maintien conforme à l'invention, le nourrisson ayant été représenté à l'état couché ;
  • La figure 3 représente une vue à plat du dispositif de maintien de la figure 2 à l'état éclaté des éléments le constituant.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 represents a flat view of a holding device not according to the invention, the infant having been shown in the lying state;
  • The figure 2 is a plan view of the embodiment of a holding device according to the invention, the infant having been shown in the lying state;
  • The figure 3 represents a flat view of the device for maintaining the figure 2 in the exploded state of the constituent elements.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'invention, comme représentée en figures 2 et 3,a pour objet un dispositif 1, dit cale-bébé, pour le maintien d'un nourrisson 10 en position couchée sur le dos. Ce dispositif comprend au moins deux boudins 2 et un élément 3, de préférence du genre bande, de liaison desdits boudins entre eux.As mentioned above, the invention, as represented in figures 2 and 3 , relates to a device 1, said hold-baby, for the maintenance of an infant 10 while lying on the back. This device comprises at least two flanges 2 and an element 3, preferably of the strip type, connecting said flanges together.

Lesdits boudins, à l'état relié entre eux par ledit élément 3 de liaison, délimitent entre eux, en disposition parallèle de leurs axes longitudinaux, un espace 4 de couchage du nourrisson dans lequel le nourrisson 10 est apte à être couché dans une configuration dans laquelle les flancs du tronc 11 du nourrisson 10 sont bordés par les boudins 2 et dans laquelle les aisselles 12 et au moins une partie des bras 13 du nourrisson sont aptes à venir en appui sur l'une des faces d'extrémité, dite supérieure des boudins. Une partie des faces d'extrémité supérieure des boudins, en particulier la partie effilée du biseau desdites faces vient donc se loger au niveau du creux des aisselles du nourrisson pour assurer un meilleur calage.Said flanges, in the state connected to each other by said connecting element 3, delimit between them, in parallel arrangement of their longitudinal axes, a sleeping space 4 for the infant in which the infant 10 is able to be laid down in a configuration in which the flanks of the trunk 11 of the infant 10 are bordered by the flanges 2 and wherein the armpits 12 and at least a portion of the arms 13 of the infant are able to bear on one of the end faces, said upper of the puddings. Part of the upper end faces of the flanges, in particular the tapered portion of the bevel of said faces is thus housed at the hollow of the underarms of the infant to ensure a better wedging.

En particulier, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins 2 par ledit élément 3 de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace 4 de couchage du nourrisson 10, les faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins sont inclinées à pente descendante depuis l'intérieur en direction de l'extérieur de l'espace de couchage. Ces faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins délimitent donc des surfaces inclinées qui convergent en direction de l'intérieur de l'espace de couchage.In particular, in the interconnected state of the flanges 2 by said connecting element 3, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space 4 of the infant 10, the upper end faces 5 flanges are inclined downwardly from the interior towards the outside of the sleeping space. These upper end faces 5 of the flanges thus delimit inclined surfaces which converge towards the interior of the sleeping space.

Dans l'exemple représenté aux figures 2 et 3, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins 2 par ledit élément 3 de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace 4 de couchage du nourrisson 10, les faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins convergent en un point disposé sur l'axe longitudinal médian de l'espace de couchage formé par l'espace entre lesdits boudins.In the example shown in figures 2 and 3 in the interconnected state of the strands 2 by said connecting element 3, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the strands for the delimitation of the sleeping space 4 of the infant 10, the upper end faces 5 of the strands converge at a point disposed on the median longitudinal axis of the sleeping space formed by the space between said flanges.

Les faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins 2 forment avec l'axe dit horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du boudin un angle compris entre 20 et 75°, de préférence voisin de 45°.The upper end faces 5 of the flanges 2 form with the so-called horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flange an angle of between 20 and 75 °, preferably close to 45 °.

Les boudins 2 comportent encore des faces d'extrémité dite inférieure 6 des boudins, opposées aux faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins. Ces faces d'extrémité inférieure 6 sont aptes à former des faces d'appui d'une partie des jambes 14, en particulier du dessus des jambes du nourrisson 10, notamment lorsque ce dernier occupe une position dite en grenouille.The flanges 2 further comprise so-called lower end faces 6 of the flanges, opposed to the upper end faces 5 of the flanges. These lower end faces 6 are able to form bearing faces of a portion of the legs 14, in particular the upper legs of the infant 10, especially when the latter occupies a so-called frog position.

Dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 2 qui correspond au mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les faces d'extrémité, dite inférieure 6 des boudins 2, opposées aux faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins, et aptes à former des faces d'appui d'une partie des jambes 14 du nourrisson 10 sont des faces en biseau.In the example shown in figure 2 which corresponds to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the end faces, said lower 6 of the flanges 2, opposite to the upper end faces 5 of the flanges, and able to form bearing faces of part of the legs 14 of infant 10 are beveled faces.

En particulier, à l'état relié entre eux des boudins 2 par ledit élément 3 de liaison, et en disposition parallèle des axes longitudinaux des boudins pour la délimitation de l'espace 4 de couchage du nourrisson 10, les faces d'extrémité, dite inférieure 6, des boudins 2 opposées aux faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins sont inclinées à pente descendante depuis l'intérieur en direction de l'extérieur de l'espace 4 de couchage. Ces faces d'extrémité inférieure 6 délimitent donc des surfaces inclinées qui convergent en direction de l'intérieur de l'espace de couchage.In particular, in the state connected to each other of the flanges 2 by said connecting element 3, and in parallel arrangement of the longitudinal axes of the flanges for the delimitation of the sleeping space 4 of the infant 10, the end faces, so-called lower 6, the flanges 2 opposite the upper end faces 5 of the flanges are inclined downwardly from the inside towards the outside of the space 4 of coating. These lower end faces 6 thus delimit inclined surfaces that converge towards the interior of the sleeping space.

De préférence, les faces d'extrémité, dite inférieure 6, des boudins 2 et les faces d'extrémité supérieure 5 des boudins sont parallèles entre elles.Preferably, the end faces, said lower 6, the flanges 2 and the upper end faces 5 of the flanges are parallel to each other.

Généralement, les faces d'extrémité inférieure 6 des boudins 2 forment avec l'axe, dit horizontal, perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du boudin 2 un angle compris entre 20 et 75°, de préférence voisin de 45°.Generally, the lower end faces 6 of the flanges 2 form with the axis, said horizontal, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the flange 2 an angle between 20 and 75 °, preferably about 45 °.

L'élément 3 de liaison entre deux boudins 2 est un élément, généralement, en textile, en particulier une pièce de tissu qui peut affecter un grand nombre de formes.The connecting element 3 between two strands 2 is an element, generally made of textile, in particular a piece of fabric that can affect a large number of shapes.

Dans les exemples représentés, l'élément 3 de liaison est formé par une simple bande couplée à, ou au voisinage de, chacune de ses extrémités à un boudin 2, de sorte que l'axe longitudinal du boudin 2 et l'axe longitudinal de la bande s'étendent perpendiculairement entre eux.In the examples shown, the connecting element 3 is formed by a single strip coupled to, or adjacent to, each of its ends to a flange 2, so that the longitudinal axis of the coil 2 and the longitudinal axis of the strip extend perpendicularly to each other.

Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, l'élément 3 de liaison peut affecter la forme d'un drap à la surface duquel les boudins peuvent être positionnés en disposition avec leurs axes longitudinaux parallèles.In an embodiment not shown, the connecting element 3 can affect the shape of a sheet on the surface of which the flanges can be positioned in arrangement with their parallel longitudinal axes.

L'élément 3 de liaison peut encore affecter la forme d'un plateau de matelas auquel les boudins en disposition avec leurs axes longitudinaux parallèles sont intégrés.The connecting element 3 can still affect the shape of a mattress plate to which the flanges in disposition with their parallel longitudinal axes are integrated.

De préférence, au moins l'un des boudins 2 est couplé ou couplable de manière amovible à l'élément 3 de liaison et présente au moins deux positions de couplage à l'élément 3 de liaison correspondant, l'une à une première valeur d'entraxe entre boudins 2, l'autre à une deuxième valeur d'entraxe entre boudins 2 pour faire varier la largeur de l'espace 4 de couchage.Preferably, at least one of the strands 2 is removably coupled or detachably coupled to the connecting element 3 and has at least two coupling positions to the corresponding connecting element 3, one at a first value d spacing between strands 2, the other at a second value of spacing between strands 2 to vary the width of the space 4 of coating.

En d'autres termes, au moins l'un des boudins 2 est repositionnable sur la pièce de liaison 3 de manière variable en écartement avec l'autre boudin 2.In other words, at least one of the strands 2 is repositionable on the connecting piece 3 variably spaced from the other flange 2.

Pour faciliter un tel repositionnement à écartement variable, au moins l'un des boudins 2 est couplé ou couplable à l'élément 3 de liaison par une liaison auto-agrippante 7.To facilitate such repositioning at variable spacing, at least one of the strands 2 is coupled or connectable to the connecting element 3 by a self-gripping link 7.

Cette liaison auto-agrippante 7 est formée de deux pièces, par exemple l'une de type boucle, l'autre de type crochet, positionnées l'une sur un boudin 2, l'autre sur l'élément 3 de liaison, lesdites pièces étant, en position de contact d'appui, couplées l'une à l'autre de manière démontable par simple traction exercée sur l'une des pièces.This self-gripping connection 7 is formed of two parts, for example one of loop type, the other of hook type, positioned one on a flange 2, the other on the connecting element 3, said parts being, in the bearing contact position, coupled to each other in a disassemblable manner by simply pulling on one of the parts.

Dans les exemples représentés, la pièce de la liaison auto-agrippante 7 équipant l'élément 3 de liaison affecte la forme d'une bande positionnée en applique sur l'élément de liaison, l'axe longitudinal de la bande s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal de l'élément 3 de liaison réalisé sous forme de bande pour permettre un positionnement de l'un des boudins 2 en un emplacement quelconque de ladite bande. L'autre boudin 2 comporte de préférence une position de couplage prédéterminée à l'élément 3 de liaison.In the examples shown, the part of the self-gripping connection 7 fitted to the connecting element 3 has the shape of a strip positioned as a surface on the connecting element, the longitudinal axis of the strip extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the connecting element 3 made in the form of a strip to allow positioning of one of the strands 2 at any location of said strip. The other coil 2 preferably has a predetermined coupling position to the connecting element 3.

De préférence, chaque boudin 2 est formé d'un corps, de préférence en mousse, et d'une enveloppe de protection dudit corps, ladite enveloppe étant montée amovible sur ledit corps.Preferably, each strand 2 is formed of a body, preferably of foam, and a protective envelope of said body, said casing being removably mounted on said body.

Il en résulte un déhoussage aisé de chaque boudin 2, notamment pour le lavage du dispositif 1.This results in easy removal of each strand 2, especially for washing the device 1.

L'utilisation d'un tel dispositif 1 est similaire à un dispositif de l'état de la technique.The use of such a device 1 is similar to a device of the state of the art.

L'un des boudins 2 étant couplé à l'élément 3 de liaison, ledit boudin 2 et l'élément 3 de liaison sont disposés à plat sur une surface de couchage, le nourrisson est couché sur le dos avec l'un de ses flancs bordé par ledit boudin 2 et son aisselle 12 apte à venir en appui sur la face d'extrémité supérieure 5 dudit boudin 2. Le deuxième boudin 2 est couplé à l'élément 3 de liaison en un emplacement fonction de la largeur du tronc 11 du nourrisson 10 pour permettre d'enserrer en l'encadrant le tronc du nourrisson. La mise en place est terminée.One of the flanges 2 being coupled to the connecting element 3, said flange 2 and the connecting element 3 are arranged flat on a sleeping surface, the infant is lying on the back with one of its flanks bordered by said strand 2 and its armpit 12 adapted to bear on the upper end face 5 of said strand 2. The second strand 2 is coupled to the connecting member 3 at a location depending on the width of the trunk 11 of the infant 10 to allow to enclose by framing the trunk of the infant. The installation is finished.

Le dispositif de maintien peut être, pour son maintien à plat sur la surface de couchage, équipé de moyens de liaison auto-aggripante 7 à ladite surface.The holding device may be, for its maintenance flat on the sleeping surface, equipped with self-gripping connection means 7 to said surface.
