BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole baby bath chair according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the baby bath chair is folded and stored, and FIG. FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 are schematic side views showing each aspect of the baby bath chair shown in FIG. 3.
[0017]
This baby bath chair includes a seat plate 10, a backrest 20 having a lower end connected to a rear end of the seat plate 10, an armrest supporting portion 30 having a lower end connected to a front end of the seat plate 10, A four-node link is formed by the armrest 40 connected to the upper end of the armrest support 30 and the backrest 20, and a locking means 50 is provided for holding the backrest 20 at a predetermined inclined position.
[0018]
The seat plate 10 has a convex portion 11 at the center in the width direction of the upper surface of the front end portion. The convex portion 11 functions to open the crotch of the infant when the infant is seated on the seat plate 10, and also acts as a stopper to prevent the infant from slipping forward. In addition, the seat plate 10 includes bearing portions 12 protruding outward on both side surfaces of the rear end portion. Further, the seat plate 10 is provided with a storage base 13 at a rear end thereof, and a stopper 14 for receiving the backrest 20 is formed at the center of the base 13 in the width direction.
[0019]
In the backrest 20, shafts 21 on both side surfaces of a lower end portion are rotatably supported by the bearing 12. The backrest 20 is formed in a frame shape. The frame-shaped configuration is, firstly, in order to prevent the backrest portion 20 from colliding with the convex portion 11 when folding the backrest portion 20 in order to prevent the folding from being hindered. Second, the inside of the frame of the backrest portion 20 is constituted by a cover 60 described later.
In order to prevent the first point, that is, the collision between the backrest portion 20 and the convex portion 11, the backrest portion 20 does not necessarily need to be formed in a frame shape, but the backrest portion is formed in a plate shape, and the backrest portion is formed. An opening or a concave portion may be provided in a portion where there is a possibility of collision with the convex portion 11 in the portion.
[0020]
The lower end of the armrest support portion 30 is rotatably connected to both sides of the front end portion of the seat plate 10 by a shaft 31, and a protection frame (front frame) 32 extends across the upper end of the armrest support portion 30.

[0022]
The locking means 50 is for holding the backrest 20 at an appropriate inclination angle. For example, a single hole 51 is formed in a side surface of the backrest 20, and one hole 51 is formed concentrically with the rotation center of the bearing 12. One or a plurality of holes 52 are formed (two in the embodiment), one of the holes 52 is selected, and a pin 53 is inserted through the hole 52 and the hole 51 of the backrest 20 to thereby provide a backrest. The part 20 is held at an appropriate inclination angle.
[0023]
In the baby bath chair configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 1, a cover 60 formed in a mesh shape by a flexible material such as cloth or synthetic resin is put over the backrest portion 20 and the seat plate 10. It is attached to the backrest 20, the armrest 40 and the like by the belt 61. Since the backrest 20 is formed in a frame shape as described above, a portion of the cover 60 located in the frame functions as a backrest.
When the surface fasteners are attached to the belt 61 and the belt fasteners are engaged with each other to wind the belt 61 around the backrest portion 20 and the armrest portion 40, the cover 60 can be easily attached and detached.
[0024]
This baby bath chair is usually used in the state shown in FIGS. In this state, the buttocks are placed on the seat plate 10, the feet are put out from the tip of the seat plate 10, and the baby is accommodated with the back resting on the backrest 20. At that time, the convex portion 11 is located between both feet. The protruding portion 11 and the protection frame 32 prevent the body from slipping out of the tip of the seat plate 10.
[0025]
In this state, when the locking means 50 is unlocked and the backrest 20 is tilted down as shown in FIG. 5, the backrest 20 is received by the stopper 14, and the most inclined state, that is, the state in which the baby lies down Is maintained. In this state, the baby is washed.
[0026]
When the baby bath chair is to be stored, the lock means 50 is unlocked and the backrest 20 is folded forward on the seat plate 10 as shown in FIG. The armrest support portion 30 also falls forward via the armrest, and the whole is folded flat. In this state, the storage unit 13 is placed in a storage place in an independent state with the storage base 13 down.
[0027]
In the above-described embodiment, the locking means 50 is constituted by the holes 51 and 52 formed in the backrest portion 20 and the bearing portion 12, respectively, and the pins inserted into those holes. However, the present invention is limited to such a configuration. Alternatively, other known locking means may be employed.
[0028]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the protection frame 32 is fixed to the armrest support portions 30, 30. For example, one end of the protection frame 32 is rotatably attached to one armrest support portion 30, and the other is attached to the other armrest support portion. If it is detachably engaged with the armrest support portion 30, the storage and removal of the baby can be facilitated.
