Description

  The present invention relates to a baby carriage cover used to protect an infant from external factors, and more particularly to a baby carriage cover that is optimal for use as a mosquito net.

  In order to protect an infant riding in a baby carriage (stroller), there are various baby carriage covers that are used by covering the baby carriage.

  For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a baby carriage cover called a stroller mosquito net.

  In the structure of the stroller mosquito net, a cloth with good ventilation is formed into a bell shape having a size capable of covering a baby carriage, and rubber is put on the ground contact portion of the cloth.

  With the above configuration, the baby carriage cover can be brought into close contact with the stroller by contracting the ground contact portion. Thereby, invasion of insects such as mosquitoes can be prevented from the lower end of the baby carriage cover (in this case, the bottom of the bell-shaped cloth), which is generally considered to have the most clearance between the baby carriage cover. The structure is taken.

  However, since the mosquito net for strollers adopting the above configuration is a configuration in which the ground contact portion is actively brought into close contact with the ground or the wheel (see FIG. 2 in Patent Document 1 below), the contact portion is caught in the wheel. In addition, it is dangerous because the baby carriage itself may fall over as well as being hindered by being caught on gravel. Of course, when the position of the ground contact portion is raised to secure the distance from the ground or wheels, the cover does not exist on the bottom side of the baby carriage and a gap is generated. For this reason, since it has the problem of allowing the invasion of insects, the stroller mosquito net according to Patent Document 1 described below must be practical.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a baby carriage cover that can completely prevent the entry of insects, mud, and the like and that can be maintained in a safe and smooth state as the baby carriage advances.

  The baby carriage cover of the present invention is a baby carriage cover that protects an infant riding inside by a sheet-like cover surface when the baby carriage is covered with the baby carriage, and the cover surface covers the substantially entire circumference of the baby carriage. The surface is formed in a size that can be surrounded, and an insertion portion through which the wheel can be inserted is formed in a portion of the cover surface on the bottom side that corresponds to the frame located near the wheel of the baby carriage. An opening having a size capable of being attached to or removed from the baby carriage is formed on a predetermined surface side of the cover surface existing on the peripheral surface, and a force acting in the vicinity of the opening is formed in the opening. The holding means for holding the vicinity of the opening is provided in the vicinity of the opening so as to keep the opening in the closing direction.

  Examples of the holding means include a string body, an elastic string body, a slide fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, and a snap.

The insertion portion may be formed as an insertion opening that is open in a circular or quadrangular shape, or may be formed in a slit shape.
Further, the insertion section is not limited to a configuration in which only one frame existing in the vicinity of one wheel is inserted, and for example, a configuration in which two frames can be inserted per one insertion section may be used.

  Preferably, the baby carriage cover has a fixing means for fixing a portion of the insertion portion other than the frame located near the wheel of the baby carriage in a closed state in the vicinity of the insertion portion. It is characterized by having.

  Examples of the fixing means include a hook-and-loop fastener, a hook, a slide fastener, and a snap.

  Further, the baby carriage cover is characterized in that the cover surface is formed of mesh ground.

  Of course, the cover for the baby carriage may be formed of a sheet-like member having water repellency.

  When the cover surface of the baby carriage cover is formed of mesh ground, the entire cover surface is not limited to being formed of mesh ground, and at least one part may be formed of mesh ground or formed at any part. can do.

  Furthermore, the baby carriage cover is characterized in that an opening / closing portion that allows opening and closing of the cover surface is formed on the front surface side of the cover surface.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the baby carriage cover of the present invention can close substantially the entire circumferential surface of the baby carriage, it can completely prevent the entry of insects, mud, water droplets, cold air, etc., and protect the infant. Can do. Furthermore, since the baby carriage cover itself is not likely to be caught in the wheels and is not caught by gravel, the baby carriage cover is not damaged and is hygienic. In addition, since it does not hinder the progress of the baby carriage, the adult can safely push the baby carriage.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the baby carriage cover is covered with the baby carriage, an unnecessary gap existing in the insertion portion can be closed, so that the infant can be more fully protected.

  According to the invention of claim 3, by forming the baby carriage cover with mesh ground, it is possible to prevent insects and the like from entering the baby carriage cover while ensuring air permeability. For this reason, the infant can be kept in a comfortable state.

  According to the invention of claim 4, by forming the baby carriage cover with a sheet-like member having water repellency, the baby is completely protected from waste gas, insects, cold air, mud, etc. as well as rain or wind. be able to. In addition, air permeability can be ensured by appropriately forming a meshed window or the like in one part of the cover surface.

  According to the invention which concerns on Claim 5, an opening part can be shrunk using the elasticity of an elastic string body. That is, since the elastic string body passively contracts simultaneously with the attachment of the baby carriage cover to the baby carriage, the opening also contracts. For this reason, insects and the like can be prevented from entering the baby carriage cover through the opening.

  Furthermore, according to the invention which concerns on Claim 6, an infant can be made to go in and out through the said opening / closing part, and an infant can be taken care of easily, without removing the baby carriage cover from the baby carriage.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which the baby carriage cover 11 is covered with the baby carriage cover 11 according to the first embodiment, and shows a state where the baby B riding the baby carriage A is protected by the baby carriage cover 11.

  The baby carriage cover 11 has a configuration as shown in FIG.

Specifically, the cover surface constituting the baby carriage cover 11 is formed by integrating a plurality of sheet-like cover members formed of mesh fabric. Furthermore, the mesh ground on the surface of the cover surface is formed with fine enough that insects such as mosquitoes do not enter inside.
In addition, each cover member is united by piping by sewing the belt-shaped cloth member 19 in the mutually opposing edge part in each said cover member.

  Further, when the baby carriage cover 11 is covered with the baby carriage A, the central cover portion 12 located on the front side and the upper side with respect to the baby carriage A, the right side cover portion 13 located on the right side, and the left side cover located on the left side. Part 14 and a bottom cover part 15 located on the bottom side.

  When the baby carriage A is covered, the baby carriage cover 11 is formed with a depth of a length protruding further rearward from a portion corresponding to the rear side of the baby carriage A (see FIG. 2). On the back side of the baby carriage cover 11, there is no cover member and an opening 16 is formed. A communication hole 17 is formed at the peripheral edge of the opening 16, and a string 18 is connected to the inside of the communication hole 17. That is, it is formed with the same configuration as a so-called purse opening / closing port.

  Further, the bottom cover portion 15 has a size that allows the wheel Aa to be inserted into a portion corresponding to the frame Ab in the vicinity of the wheel Aa of the baby carriage A when the baby carriage A is covered with the baby carriage cover 11. A slit portion 21 is formed, and a communication hole portion 20 is formed at an edge of the slit portion 21 so as to communicate with the string body 22 and also with the rubber string 23 (enlarged main portion in FIG. 2). (See figure).

  And the front-surface part 12a in the center cover part 12 is formed so that opening and closing is possible in the shape of a flap. The front surface portion 12 a can be opened to a size that allows the baby B to enter and exit the baby carriage cover 11.

Further, one linear slide fastener 24a is sewn to the left edge of the flap-shaped front surface portion 12a in the central cover portion 12, and the other straight edge is also attached to the front edge portion of the left cover portion 14. The slide fastener 24b is sewn.
Further, one L-shaped slide fastener 25a is sewn to the lower end portion and the right end portion of the front surface portion 12a in the central cover portion 12, and the right cover portion 13 and the bottom cover portion 15 are The other L-shaped slide fastener 25b is sewn to each front end.

  On the other hand, when the baby carriage A is covered with the baby carriage cover 11 on the upper surface portion 12b of the central cover portion 12, a handle insertion slit portion 26 is formed in a portion corresponding to the handle Ac, and the handle insertion slit portion 26 is formed. A cover member 27 having a mesh ground is sewn in a flap shape so as to close the slit portion 21 for inserting the handle Ac at one edge portion on the center side in the width direction.

  Furthermore, when the handle insertion slit portion 26 is closed by the cover member 27, hook and loop fasteners 29 a and 29 b are attached to portions where the central cover portion 12 and the cover member 27 overlap.

  In addition, string bodies 28 are bonded to both sides of the cover member 27 on the base side (attachment side).

  The baby carriage cover 11 in this embodiment is configured as described above, and the procedure for attaching the baby carriage cover 11 to the baby carriage A and the effects of the baby carriage cover 11 will be described below.

  The baby carriage cover 11 is attached to the baby carriage A by first loosening the string body 18 communicating with the peripheral edge of the opening 16 located on the back side of the baby carriage cover 11 as shown in FIG. The opening 16 is opened as large as possible.

Then, the baby carriage cover 11 is covered with the baby carriage A after facing the upper side of the baby carriage A in a posture in which the opening 16 is positioned on the lower side.
At this time, the baby carriage A is in a state in which the baby B is not on board.

  The baby carriage cover 11 is lowered until the peripheral edge of the opening 16 reaches the lower end of the baby carriage A. At this time, the front surface portion 12a, the bottom surface cover portion 15, and the upper surface portion 12b of the central cover portion 12 of the baby carriage cover 11 are positioned on the upper surface side, the front surface side, and the rear surface side of the baby carriage A, respectively. (Not shown).

Therefore, when the baby carriage A is viewed from the left side, the baby carriage cover 11 is gradually rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise in a state where the baby carriage cover 11 is covered with the baby carriage A, and the baby B is attached to the baby carriage cover 11. Match the direction to the appropriate orientation.
In this series of procedures, each wheel Aa of the baby carriage A is inserted through the slit portion 21 corresponding to each wheel Aa, and the handle Ac is further inserted through the handle insertion slit portion 27.

  Furthermore, by extending the string 18 at the peripheral edge of the opening 16, the opening 16 can be contracted in the closing direction as shown in FIG.

At this time, although the opening 16 is not completely closed as shown in FIG. 3, the opening 16 is opened only at a portion substantially corresponding to the seat portion Ad of the baby carriage A. That is, the baby carriage cover 11 has an attachment form in which the back surface of the seat portion Ad closes the opening portion 16, so that insects or the like do not enter the inside through the opening portion 16.
In addition, when the opening 16 is contracted, if the string 18 that is hanging hinders the stroller A from moving, it is placed inside the baby carriage cover 11 or the upper and lower strings 18 are connected to each other. Can be tied together (not shown).

  Subsequently, on the bottom surface side of the baby carriage cover 11, as shown in FIG. 4A, the slit portion 21 inserted through the wheel Aa is blocked to some extent by contraction of the rubber cord 23. If the string body 22 at the peripheral edge of the slit portion 21 is also extended in the same manner as the string body 18 of the opening 16 described above, the slit portion 21 can be further closed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), if the string body 22 is tied to the frame Ab or inserted into the inner side of the baby carriage cover 11 (not shown) as required, the string body 22 becomes a wheel. It doesn't wrap around Aa and doesn't get in the way.

  Finally, in order to close the handle insertion slit portion 26, one surface fastener 29a in the cover member 27 sewn in a flap shape is engaged with the other surface fastener 29b in the upper edge portion of the opening portion 16. When the string 18 is tied to the handle Ac, the attachment of the baby carriage cover 11 to the baby carriage A is completed (see FIG. 3).

  Thus, the baby carriage A can be attached to the baby carriage cover 11. And the front part 12a in the center part cover part 12 can be rolled up, and the infant B can be boarded easily.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the baby carriage cover 11 can close substantially the entire circumferential surface of the baby carriage A except for the opening 16 provided on the back side of the baby carriage A.

  In particular, the bottom side of the baby carriage A, which is difficult to cover with the conventional baby B, can be almost completely closed by inserting the frame Ab in the vicinity of the wheel Aa through the slit portion 21. For this reason, for example, insects do not enter from the foot of the infant B.

  Further, since the baby carriage cover 11 can be attached to the baby carriage A in a state where a certain distance is secured with respect to the ground, the baby carriage cover 11 is not likely to be caught in the wheels Aa or caught on gravel. Therefore, the baby carriage cover 11 is not damaged and is hygienic. Moreover, adults can push the baby carriage A safely.

  Further, the cover surface of the baby carriage cover 11 can be attached in a state of being in close contact with the baby carriage A, and the string body 18 is biased in the direction in which the opening portion 16 contracts, whereby the front surface portion 12a of the baby carriage cover 11 is Since the cover surface is extended, it is possible to maintain good visibility by eliminating wrinkles and slack on the cover surface.

  Further, by forming the front surface portion 12a of the central cover portion 12 so as to be openable and closable, the baby B can be lifted by lifting the front surface portion 12a of the central cover portion 12 without removing the baby carriage cover 11 from the baby carriage A one by one. Operations such as getting on and off the baby carriage A or taking care of the infant B can be easily performed.

  Next, as Example 2, the baby carriage cover 41 may be configured as shown in FIG. Incidentally, the configuration of the baby carriage cover 11 according to the first embodiment is particularly different in the configuration around the opening 16 and the configuration of the handle slit portion 26.

  Specifically, the baby carriage cover 41 according to the second embodiment forms an opening 16 having an opening corresponding to the back surface of the baby carriage A when the baby carriage A is covered. The communication hole 17 is not formed in the peripheral portion of the, and the string body 18 is also formed without communication.

  That is, the closing flap portion for closing the opening portion 16 in the form of a flap on the left and right edges of the opening portion 16, that is, on the rear end sides of the right cover portion 13 and the left cover portion 14. 42 is formed.

  Further, one slide fastener 43a is sewn to the rear end portion of the closing flap portion 42 in the right cover portion 13, and the other end is attached to the rear end portion of the closing flap portion 42 in the left cover portion 14. The slide fastener 43b is sewn.

  Further, the edge on the upper end side of the opening 16, that is, the rear end portion of the upper surface portion of the central cover portion 12 also forms the back side flap portion 44.

  A pair of hook-and-loop fasteners 45 a and 45 b are attached to the overlapping portion of the closing flap portion 42 and the back-side flap portion 44.

  With the above configuration, when the baby carriage cover 41 is attached to or removed from the baby carriage A, the opening portion 16 can be easily opened and closed simply by engaging or separating the pair of slide fasteners 43a and 43b. This is particularly effective when it is desired to close the opening 16 without a gap.

  Thus, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and many embodiments can be obtained.

  For example, the baby carriage covers 11 and 41 are formed by forming the belt-shaped cloth member 19 by using a luminous light emitting member that spontaneously emits light or a reflective light emitting member that reflects incident light from the outside. The configuration may be such that the presence of the baby carriage A can be easily confirmed even in the dark.

  As a matter of course, the baby carriage covers 11 and 41 are not limited to forming the cover surface with mesh as described above, but may be formed of a sheet-like material having water repellency. By adopting such a configuration, the baby B can be protected not only from insects such as mosquitoes but also from cold air, muddy water splashing from the ground, sand and the like by closing the bottom side of the baby carriage A in particular.

  In addition, unlike the baby carriage cover 11 of the first embodiment, the baby carriage cover may be configured so that the opening 16 is completely closed when the opening 16 is contracted by the string body 18.

However, if the opening portion 16 is not completely closed, only the portion corresponding to the back side of the seat portion Ad can be opened, so that the air permeability of the seat portion Ad can be ensured. That is, since the baby B seated on the seat portion Ad can be in a comfortable state, it is particularly effective when the baby carriage covers 11 and 41 are made of a material having water repellency.
Of course, when the baby carriage covers 11 and 41 are made of a water-repellent material, a mesh-like window may be separately formed to ensure air permeability.

  Further, the opening 16 is not limited to being formed on the back side of the baby carriage A like the baby carriage covers 11 and 41 described above, but may be configured on the bottom side. In any case, when the baby B is attached to the baby carriage A, the opening portion 16 is contracted, so that the front surface portion 12a is extended and the visual field of the baby B is not obstructed.

  Further, even if the opening 16 is used without being completely closed like the baby carriage cover 11 according to the first embodiment, if the opening 16 is located on the back side, the back of the seat portion Ad is used. Or when the opening part 16 has in the bottom face side, since the opening part 16 can be obstruct | occluded with the basket which has the seat part Ad below, invasion of an insect etc. can be prevented.

Further, as means for holding the vicinity of the opening 16 in order to contract or close the opening 16, a structure using a string body 18 like a so-called purse opening / closing part or a slide fastener as in the second embodiment is used. It is not limited to the structure using 43a, 43b.
For example, a rubber string is used in place of the string body 18 and the opening 16 is expanded and contracted using its elastic deformation, or the opening 16 is closed and closed using hooks, stitches, hook-and-loop fasteners, etc. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which combined these.

  Similarly, the means for fixing the slit portion 21 on the bottom side in a contracted or closed state is not limited to the configuration in which the string body 22 and the rubber string 23 are combined as described above, but also a hook, stitch, surface fastener. You may comprise using etc.

In the correspondence between the above-described embodiment and the configuration of the present invention, the slit portion 21 of this embodiment corresponds to the insertion portion of the present invention,
Similarly, the rubber string 23 corresponds to an elastic string,
Although the front surface portion 12a corresponds to the opening / closing portion, as described above, the present invention is not limited only to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and many embodiments can be obtained.
