DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile baby bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Automobile cots are important for ensuring the safety of infants and infants who cannot maintain a sitting posture alone in their automobiles until a few months after birth. is there. Many car cots have a cushion in a box, lay the baby in the box, fix it with a belt, attach a fastener on the outside of the box, and pass the car seat belt through the fastener. It is configured to secure the body to the car. However, in the case of this form, there is a danger that the bed jumps out when receiving an impact or suddenly stops, the baby rotates greatly by reaction and the baby is thrown out, and furthermore, the car is hit from behind. In such a case, there was a risk that the vehicle seat would be strongly pressed against the backrest. Further, in many vehicles, the infant is often forced to take an unreasonable posture such as being pressed backward in the bed because the seat is lowered toward the rear. On the other hand, baby cots are used less frequently than child seats and have a shorter application period. Therefore, there is also provided a type in which a reclining device is provided in the child seat and the baby cot is also used. But,
In this case, since the main purpose is to use it as a child seat, it is not always sufficient in both comfort and safety for infants, and the method of use is complicated, and it is heavy and cumbersome to install and remove. was there. In addition, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-21390-21392 provides a combination of a bed holding frame and a bed detachably mounted on the frame. In this case, since the frame is configured to be fixed by the seat belt of the automobile, the stability of the bed itself is not always sufficient, and the method of use is complicated. Therefore, there is a strong demand for the development of an easy-to-use car crib that has both safety and comfort.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a crib that can be easily mounted, is safe, and does not force the baby to be in an unreasonable position. That is, according to the present invention, in an automobile crib configured such that a baby is laid on a cushion-shaped bottom body and the baby is supported by a five-point safety belt, the side face of the box body in contact with the backrest portion of the car seat is provided. An object of the present invention is to provide a baby crib for automobiles, characterized in that two or more slits for inserting a seat belt are provided. With the above configuration, the crib of the present invention is directly fixed by the seat belt of the automobile,
It is possible to enjoy the safety of wearing the seat belt provided in the automobile itself.

[0004] In one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the bottom of the seat is such that the cushion surface is substantially horizontal when the infant is placed on the seat, so that the infant is not forced into an excessive posture due to the inclination of the car seat. Is corrected by providing a difference. As means for correcting the inclination of the seat of the car, a cushion may be laid in the box body, and a difference may be provided in the bottom of the box body and / or the cushion so that the cushion surface is substantially horizontal. Alternatively, a spacer for changing the inclination of the cushion surface is rotatably arranged on the back of the box,
One of the bottoms of the box may be substantially thicker. In this aspect, by changing the direction of the spacer, the head of the baby can be directed to an appropriate direction on either the left or right side of the seat, which is advantageous. For example, it is possible to provide a concave portion having a downward opening on the back surface, and to combine the spacer with the spacer which is housed in the concave portion and can protrude downward from the opening of the concave portion.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An automobile crib according to the present invention includes a horizontally elongated box 1 having an open upper surface, and a cushion 2 laid in the box 1. On the upper surface of the cushion 2, a 5-point safety belt 3 for supporting an infant attached to the box 1 is provided. The five-point safety belt 3 has one end fixed to a substantially central portion on the leg side of the bed, a crotch belt 31 attached to a crotch portion, left and right waist belts 32 attached to a waist portion, and attached to a shoulder. It consists of a pair of possible left and right shoulder belts 33. A protection pad 34 for protecting the head is provided in the cushion on the side of the shoulder belt 33. Reference numeral 4 denotes a slit, two or more of which are formed on the side surface of the box 1 on the side of the seat back. The number of slits may be large, but is usually between 2 and several. In use, regardless of the two-point fixed type or the three-point fixed type, the seat belt is inserted into the slit from the outside of the box 1,
The other seat belt can be inserted from another slit and stopped inside or outside the box 1 with a locking buckle. Alternatively, a method may be used in which one seat belt is sequentially inserted into the slit and finally inserted into the buckle of the other seat belt and locked. In the crib of the present invention, the box 1 and the cushion 2 can be integrally formed of synthetic resin, but they may be separately formed and combined.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment of a crib having a slit 4 according to the present invention, in which a box 1 and a cushion 2 are separately formed, and the cushion 2 is detachably attached to the box 1. Has been inserted. In the case of FIG. 2, the thickness of the bottom of the box 1 is increased on the side of the seat back so that the surface of the cushion 2 is substantially horizontal when placed on the seat S of the car. In FIG. 3, the thickness of the cushion 2 is increased on the side of the seat back to make the surface of the cushion 2 substantially horizontal.

FIG. 4 shows yet another embodiment,
A spacer 5 is rotatably provided on the back surface of the box 1 so that the surface of the cushion 2 is substantially horizontal. FIG. 5 is a bottom view thereof. As apparent from FIGS. 4 and 5, the spacer 5
The supporting end 51 is formed by a method known to those skilled in the art so that the supporting end 51 is fitted in the concave portion 11 provided on the back surface of the box body 1 and is rotatable back and forth, and is detachable. The method of rotatably attaching the spacer 5 to the bottom surface of the box 1 is not limited to the above, and a known appropriate means can be adopted. This embodiment has an advantage that the head side of the bed can be directed to either the left or right direction of the vehicle by changing the direction of the spacer 5. The number of spacers may be one long along the longitudinal direction of the box, but two spacers may be provided at both ends.

[0008]

The baby bed according to the present invention has a slit in the main body, so that it can be easily attached to a car seat by simply inserting and fixing a seat belt into the slit, and can be easily removed. It is. Moreover, since it is firmly fixed to the seat, there is no danger of the bed rotating due to a recoil at the time of impact, and the safety is high. Further, since the cushion surface is substantially horizontal, the infant can be placed in a comfortable environment without forcing the infant to take an unreasonable posture. Further, when the inclination is corrected by the spacer, there is an effect that the direction of the bed can be arbitrarily changed.
