After storage, the bridging piece (33) contracts due to its restoring force, restrains the backrest (2) and the shoulder belt (4), and prevents it from falling off from the storage part (35). Then, the flap (32) is locked at the pulled-out position by the engagement of the snaps (36) and (37a).

As described above, the baby holder (1) of the present invention accommodates the backrest (2) and the shoulder belt (4) in the accommodating portion (35) of the waist pad (30) while being worn on the body. be able to. Moreover, the annular space formed by the backing portion (31), the flap (32), and the bridging piece (33) of the waist pad (30) provides a means for attaching the waist pad (30) to the waist belt (3) and a sliding means. , And also serves as the storage section (35), so that storage suitable for carrying can be performed with a small number of members. The baby holder (1) can be carried with the waist belt (3) removed from the body, and the waist belt (3) can be stored in the storage section (35).

Further, since the bridging piece (33) is made of a stretchable material and can be freely expanded even if it is fixed to the backing portion (31) and the flap (32) by sewing or the like, not only the storing operation but also the storing operation can be performed. The drawing operation can be easily performed. Further, the storage portion can be formed in the limited space of the waist pad (30) without increasing the member size and the number of members.

Further, in both cases of using and carrying, the flap (32) is locked by the bridging piece (33) to prevent them from separating. And, when used, the cross-linked piece (33) is kept in the folded state, and has an effect of hiding the cross-linked piece (33) to improve the appearance. In addition to assisting, there is the effect of suppressing bulging due to storage and improving the appearance.

Further, the storage section (35) is provided with a waist pad (30).
The main members such as the backrest (2), the shoulder belt (4) and the waist belt (3) do not require any design change. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to an existing baby carrier by adding or replacing a waist pad.

The detailed structure of each part of the baby holder according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, a relatively simple baby holder of a type in which a main body including only a backrest is hung by a shoulder belt with a sling is illustrated. It can also be shaped to completely wrap the body. Further, a shoulder belt of both shoulders is also included in the present invention according to the shape of the main body.

Further, as the waist pad, an annular space is formed by the three members of the backing material portion, the flap and the bridging piece, and this annular space is also used for mounting the waist pad, storing the slide and the main body, etc. None of the mounting method, the sliding method, and the storing method are limited to the present embodiment. Further, in the present embodiment, the waist pad cannot be removed from the waist belt as long as the user wears the waist belt. For example, if the flap is lengthened, without providing the bridging piece, it can be stored by folding the main body or the like between the patch portion and the flap and covering them with the flap,
The padding portion of the waist pad can be slid because it is sandwiched between the waist belt and the user's body.

Further, a material that does not expand or contract can be used as the crosslinked piece. The clearance required for the storage-withdrawal operation of the main body or the like can be ensured by detachably attaching the bridge piece to the patch portion or the flap, or by increasing the dimension of the bridge piece.

Further, the flap, the bridging piece and the locking device are
In addition to the illustrated snaps, fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons, and the like can be used as appropriate.

As described above, according to the baby holder of the present invention, the storage portion for storing the main body and the shoulder belt is provided integrally with the waist pad attached to the waist belt. And the shoulder belt can be stored in a state suitable for carrying, and the appearance when carrying is good.

When the waist pad is slidably mounted on the waist belt, the storing operation is particularly easy.

Further, the waist pad is bridged between the backing part in contact with the user's waist, a flap extending outward from the upper end of the backing part, and the backing part and the flap. In the case where the waist pad is provided, the waist pad is slidably mounted by inserting the waist belt into the annular space formed by these, and the annular space also serves as the storage portion, and the number of members is small. Can be stored.

Further, when the cross-linking piece is made of an elastic material, the storage portion can be freely expanded, so that the storage operation and the operation can be easily performed. Further, after the storage, the stored main body and the shoulder belt are restrained by the restoring force, and an effect of preventing the main body and the shoulder belt from falling out of the storage portion can be obtained. In addition, these effects can be achieved by the expansion and contraction function without increasing the member size and the number of members in a limited space such as a waist pad.

Further, the flap has a position in which the bridging piece is folded between the bridging piece and the backing part with respect to the bridging piece.
In the case where locking is possible at any position between the flap and the bridging piece, the separation between the flap and the bridging piece is prevented, and the folded state of the bridging piece is maintained during use. At the same time, there is an effect of hiding the cross-linked pieces to improve the appearance, and when carrying, there is an effect of suppressing the cross-linked pieces and assisting storage and holding, and suppressing a swelling due to storage to improve the appearance.

Further, since the storage section is provided on an attached member called a waist pad, the present invention can be easily implemented for an existing baby carrier by adding or replacing a waist pad.
