  1 to 2B show an embodiment of a cape for baby and toddler (hereinafter abbreviated as “cape”) of the present invention.

  The cape (1) is composed of a cape body (10) with a hood (11) and left and right clips (16) and (16) for fastening the cape body (10) to the mounting target.

  The cape body (10) is approximately rectangular, and the hood (11) is sewn in the center of the upper edge. The left and right sides of the hood (11) are from the hood sewn end to the left and right ends of the cape body (10). The region is defined as a stretchable region (12) (12) that is contracted by the insertion of the rubber tape.

  The cap body (10) is provided with a slit-like through opening (20) parallel to the upper edge at a position closer to the upper edge side from the center. The penetration opening (20) can be opened and closed by a slide fastener (21), and the distance between the left and right opening stops (22) and (22) is the maximum opening dimension. In addition, the slide fastener (21) has two sliders (23a) and (23b) whose opening and closing directions are opposite, so that the opening position of the penetrating opening (20) can be adjusted as desired. can do. That is, the distance between the two sliders (23a) and (23b) is the opening size, and the positions of the two sliders (23a) and (23b) are the left and right opening ends, and the opening position is set.

  A slit (14) that can be opened and closed by snaps (13a) (13b) is provided at the center of the skirt side of the cape body (10). The snaps (13a) and (13b) can be engaged with snaps (15a) and (15b) attached to the left and right edges of the cape body (10), and further, snaps (15a) and (15b) at the left and right edges. ) Can be engaged with each other. Accordingly, the skirt of the cape body (10) is engaged with the snaps (13a) and (13b) at the center to close the slit (14) and the snaps (15a and 15b) at the left and right edges are not engaged (FIG. 1). ), Engaging the snaps (13a) and (13b) at the center to close the slit (14) and engaging the snaps (15a) and (15b) at the left and right edges to form a single cylinder (FIG. 2A). ), The center snap (13a) (13b) is disengaged to open the slit (14), and the center snap (13a) (13b) and the left and right end snaps (15a) (15b) are engaged. Combined, it can be used in three ways in a state where two tubes are formed like pants (FIG. 2B).

  In addition, as an engaging tool used for opening and closing the slit (14) and forming the bottom skirt, any one of hooks, hook-and-loop fasteners, buttons and the like can be used.

  Clips (16) and (16) are mounting fasteners according to the present invention, and are attached to the upper left and right ends of the cape body (10). These clips (16) and (16) can be fastened to baby litters, strollers, clothes and the like. Note that the present invention does not limit the attachment position of the fastening device to the left and right ends of the cape body (10), and includes the case where the attachment is attached to a position retracted from the left and right ends in the central direction. Moreover, although this invention does not limit a fastening tool to a clip, a clip can be recommended in the point that the other member for fastening is unnecessary for mounting | wearing object.

  Next, a method for using the cape (1) will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Usage example 1)
FIG. 3 shows an example of use as a cape for protection against colds and rain and winds for infants carrying baby litter.

  The penetration opening (20) of the cape body (10) is closed. Then, the left and right clips (16), (16) are fastened to the shoulder belt (30) of the lullaby, and the cape body (10) covers the infant's body completely.

  The skirt slit (14) may be closed and the left and right end snaps (15a) and (15b) may be engaged to form a single cylinder to cover both feet together (see FIG. 2A), and the left and right snaps (15a ) (15b) may be used without engaging (see FIG. 3). Moreover, the slit (14) can be opened to form two cylinders, and each leg can be covered (see FIG. 2B). If the hem is cylindrical, the cape body (10) will not be swung by the wind, improving cold protection and rain wind protection.

  In addition, when holding the infant on the chest side of the user, face-to-face or forward-looking, or when holding the infant in a horizontal position, hold the clip (16) (16) on the baby-strap and hold the infant's body. Can be covered. Furthermore, it can be used by being fixed to a frame of a stroller or the like.

(Usage example 2)
FIG. 4 shows an example of use as breast concealment during breastfeeding.

  Keep the head opening (20) of the cape body (10) open enough to accommodate the user's (mother's) head. Then, the skirt of the cape body (10) is covered in the direction of being located on the chest side, and the head is passed through the transcutaneous opening (20). That is, the cape body (10) is worn like a poncho. After wearing, adjust the opening size and position of the penetration opening (20) as necessary. As a result, the lower part (10a) of the cape body (10) can be concealed to the chest side from the penetrating opening (20) to hide the chest. Moreover, the upper part (10b) of the cape body (10) is connected to the lower part (10a) on both the left and right sides, and the upper part (10b) is on the back side. Because it hangs down, the shoulders are completely covered, and the line of sight from the top, side, and back can be blocked. In the nursing cover of the type that hangs the string as referenced in Non-Patent Document 1, the shoulder is exposed, so the left and right ends of the cover body are sandwiched between the sides and the line of sight from the side is obstructed However, the cape (1) of the present invention can block the line of sight from the side by a simple wearing method of passing the head through the opening for penetration (20), and also block the line of sight from above and behind. Can do.

  In addition, a gap is formed between the edge of the penetration opening (20) and the user according to the opening size of the penetration opening (20). You can breastfeed while watching. As the opening size is increased, the view of the infant can be seen more clearly, and as the opening size is reduced, the effect of blocking the line of sight is greater, so depending on the physique of the user and the infant and the size of the desired view What is necessary is just to adjust an opening dimension suitably. Moreover, since the opening position can also be adjusted, it suffices to shift right and left appropriately according to the direction of breast feeding. Since the adjustment of the opening size and the opening position of the penetrating opening (20) can be performed simply by moving the sliders (23a) and (23b), the adjustment after wearing is also easy.

  In this embodiment, since the slide fastener (21) is used as the opening / closing means of the penetration opening (20), the opened penetration opening (20) is a row of the engagement teeth of the slide fastener (21). And the opening edge is reinforced. As a result, the cap body (10) formed of a flexible material with a peephole shaped can be prevented from falling down, so that the infant can be watched without any trouble.

  The cape of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications as described below are possible.

  The position and shape of the opening for penetration of the cape body can be arbitrarily set. However, in order to maintain the size and area required for the chest cover without excessively increasing the size of the cape body in order to maintain the compactness of the cape, it is necessary to penetrate from the center of the cape body toward the peripheral side. It is preferable to provide a head opening so that a wide area exceeding 1/2 of the cape body hangs down to the chest side. Based on this point of view, in the above-described embodiment, the slit-like through opening (20) is provided at a position close to the upper edge side from the center of the cape body (10). For example, the cape body (10) shown in FIG. 1 has a substantially rectangular shape with a length of 70 cm and an upper width (when stretched): 90 cm, and a penetrating opening (10) is provided at a position 10 cm below the upper end. The chest side is covered with an area of 60 cm below, and the area of 10 cm above is hung on the back side.

  Even if the opening for penetrating is provided at a position close to the hem side or the left and right side edges of the cape body, a region depending on the chest side is widened, and the same effect can be obtained. However, if the cape is provided at a position close to the upper edge side, the cape can be used in the same direction for infants and breastfeeding, which is convenient. Moreover, if it is provided near the upper edge, there is no problem even when a slit is provided at the hem, and since it becomes a left-right symmetric shape, the appearance is better than that left and right. In the present invention, the dimension from the center to the penetration opening should be appropriately set according to the dimension and shape of the cape body, and is not limited to the dimensions described above.

  Further, the penetration opening is not limited to being provided in parallel with the periphery of the cape body, and may be provided in an oblique direction with respect to the edge. The cape (2) in FIG. 5 is a slit-like opening (25) provided in a position close to the upper left corner from the diagonal line of the rectangular cape body (10). The lower right corner Use it so that the part of the triangle with the apex hangs down to the chest side. When such an oblique penetration head (25) is provided, the diagonal dimension of the cape body (10) can be used as the maximum width of the feeding cape, so that even the narrow cape can hide the chest. it can. Although the width of the substantially triangular hanging part becomes narrower toward the hem, the position of the diagonal line and the chest part are almost the same, and the cape width is secured in the vicinity of the chest part.

  Further, the penetrating opening is not limited to being a linear slit. The cape (3) in FIG. 6 is a through-opening opening (26) in which a slide fastener (21) is attached to a slit cut in an arc shape in the cape body (10) so as to be opened and closed. Since the arcuate part (27) rises when the arcuate penetration opening (26) is opened and worn, the arcuate part (27) can be used as a blindfold to block the line of sight.

  Furthermore, the opening for penetration is not limited to a slit shape, and may be a hole formed by cutting out a required portion of the cape body. With respect to such a notched hole, it can be opened and closed by adding another cloth to cover the hole. However, a slit-like opening for penetration can be recommended because it can be opened and closed with a simple structure and the opening and closing means can be easily attached.

  The opening size of the penetrating opening is sufficient if it passes at least the user's head, and it is optional to expand beyond that. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the maximum opening size of the penetrating opening (20) is added with a space for forming a peephole in the size around the user's head, and further, the user's physique difference and breast feeding direction In consideration of the change of the opening position due to the above, the stop opening (22) of the slide fastener (21) is set to the position retracted from the left and right side edges to the center side. Moreover, the presence or absence of the adjustment function of an opening dimension and an opening position can also be set arbitrarily, and the thing without these adjustment functions is also included in this invention.

  The means for opening and closing the opening for penetration is not limited to a fried fastener. Examples of other opening / closing means include a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap stopper, and a button stopper. The slide fastener is recommended because it can be easily opened and closed and the opening size and position can be easily adjusted. The slider is made of a hard material such as metal or hard resin, but if you attach a cover that covers the fastener with a flexible material such as cloth on the back side of the cape body, the slider will touch the infant's body directly. Can be prevented. As shown in FIG. 4, when used as a feeding cape, the sliders (23a) and (23b) are located from the user's neck to the shoulder, so there is almost no risk of touching the infant. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2B, when closing the slide fastener (21), the two sliders (23a) (23b) are brought to either one of the open stops (22), and the back surface of the cape body (10) In this case, if a cover (28) for storing the sliders (23a) and (23b) is attached in the vicinity of the stop opening (22), contact with the infant can be prevented. In this way, it is possible to prevent the sliders (23a) and (23b) from coming into contact with the infant with less material and a simple structure. In order to explain the function of the cover (28), FIG. 2A shows a state in which the slider (23a) (23b) is not stored in the cover (28), and FIG. 2B shows the slider (23a) (23b). Is stored in the cover (28).

  The present invention does not regulate the width (size in the left-right direction) or the length of the cape body, but the cape width necessary for hiding the breast during breastfeeding is more than the cape width required for cold protection and rain wind protection for infants. Since it is large, it is preferable to form it in dimensions suitable for breastfeeding, and specifically, it is preferable that the cape width is 90 cm or more. In addition, if the clearance is too large when used as a cape for cold protection and rain wind protection for infants by forming the dimensions suitable for breastfeeding, the stretchable area (12 ) To improve the fit. Further, the entire region from the hood sewing position to the left and right end portions is not limited to the stretchable region, and only a part of the stretchable region may be stretchable.

  Moreover, the material of the cape body is not limited, and various fabrics, knits, fleece, batting materials, quilted fabrics and the like can be exemplified. Moreover, the cloth which has waterproofness and water repellency can also be used as a cape for rain protection.

  The presence / absence of a slit at the hem of the cape body and the presence / absence of an engaging member such as a snap for forming the skirt into a cylinder can be arbitrarily set.

  In addition, since the presence or absence of a hood is also arbitrary, in a cape without a hood, the stretchable region can be expanded to the center side.

  The cape of the present invention can be used for both cold protection and rain wind protection for infants and breast concealment during breastfeeding.
