  However, in a conventional nursing chair, the mother's arm is placed on the armrest while the entire weight of the infant is received by the mother's arm. Breastfeeding in this position for a long time puts a heavy burden on the mother's arm. In addition, since the infant is not high enough for the mother, the mother needs to bend forward, the breastfeeding posture is unstable, and the back and waist are heavily loaded.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a chair that can comfortably breastfeed in a stable posture with less burden on the mother.

(1) In a chair provided with a seat, a backrest, and an elbow rest, a cushion having both arms placed on the elbow rest is detachably provided.

Here, since the cushion is provided so as to be detachable from the chair, at the time of breastfeeding, both arms of the cushion can be placed on the chair's elbow rest, and the infant can be placed on the cushion for breastfeeding. At this time, the mother can put her arm on the chair's elbow rest via a cushion, so for example, using a cushion or towel provided separately from the chair, raise the baby's height Without damaging the mother's arm.
Furthermore, since the cushion can be placed on the elbow rest, the infant's height relative to the mother can be ensured. Thereby, since breast feeding can be performed without leaning forward, the burden on the waist and back can be suppressed.
Moreover, when using it as a chair other than breast feeding, it becomes possible to equip the chair with a cushion.

(2) In the chair described in (1), a waist support cushion for supporting a user's waist is provided on the backrest, and the cushion forms an arc shape with at least the both arms as a part, and the waist support A concave portion formed by the inner peripheral portion of the cushion may be accommodated in the cushion.

  Here, when used as a chair other than breast feeding, the back can be supported by the cushion since the cushion can be accommodated in the backrest. Thereby, it functions as a chair that is comfortable to sit at other than breast feeding.

(3) The chair according to (1) or (2), further including a pair of left and right leg portions for supporting the seat portion at the front and rear, and a footrest portion between the pair of front leg portions. It may be a feature.

  Here, when the baby is not high enough for the mother at the time of breastfeeding, the mother can place the foot on the footrest to ensure the baby's height relative to the mother, for example, without standing on toes. be able to. Thereby, it is possible to breastfeed without leaning forward, and it is easy to improve the secretion of breast milk.

(4) In the chair according to (3), a length of the elbow rest in a horizontal direction from the front of the backrest may be in a range of 200 mm to 300 mm.

  Here, since the protrusion of the elbow rest from the backrest is small, it is possible to prevent the elbow of the user and the head of the infant from colliding with the elbow rest when sitting on the chair while holding the infant.

(5) In the chair according to any one of (1) and (4), the seat portion may be provided with a seat cushion having a depression at a central portion.

  Here, since the hollow is provided in the center part of the seat cushion, when the mother sits down, the pain of the perineal part after giving birth can be reduced. In addition, it is easy for the mother to sit because she knows that she is depressed. In addition, it is not a through hole but a hollow, so it looks nice. At first glance, it looks good like a normal chair, and the mother does not mind the surrounding eyes, for example, when eating or resting. In addition, it is easier for non-lactators to sit.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to comfortably feed an infant (newborn) with a stable posture with less burden on the mother.

[One Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a chair according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. In the following description, front / rear, left / right, and upper / lower designations are directions with respect to the user when the user seated on the seat is in a normal posture.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the chair 1 according to the present invention includes a seat part 11, a backrest 12, and an elbow rest 13. Further, the backrest 12 is provided with a waist support cushion 14 protruding toward the front surface. The waist support cushion 14 has a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front.
Further, the seat portion 11 is provided with a seat cushion 15 having a recess 15a in the center portion. The seat cushion 15 is preferably recessed rather than a through hole, but when the through hole is formed, the seat cushion 15 is preferably covered with a cover or the like.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the chair 1 further includes a pair of left and right leg portions 16 and 17 that support the seat portion 11 at the front and rear. A footrest portion 18 is provided between the pair of front leg portions 17. The footrest portion 18 is provided at a predetermined height from the floor surface, on which a user's foot can be placed.

The elbow rest 13 is provided at the upper ends of the pair of rear leg portions 16, 16. The elbow rest 13 is formed in a rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction in plan view, and both front and rear ends of the elbow rest 13 are chamfered in an arc shape. Further, the rear end of the elbow rest 13 is attached to the upper end of the leg portion 16, and the elbow rest 13 protrudes forward of the leg portion 16. Thereby, a gap S is provided between the backrest 12 and the rear end of the elbow rest 13.
Moreover, it is preferable that the length L1 of the horizontal direction from the front of the backrest 12 of the elbow rest 13 exists in the range of 200 mm or more and 300 mm or less.
Moreover, the upper surface of the elbow rest 13 is formed in the flat 13a.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the height H of the seat portion 11 is configured to be higher than the height of the seat portion of a general nursing chair. Specifically, it is preferable that the knee K bend angle is 90 ° or more when an average stretched woman sits on the seat 11 and puts her foot on the floor. By setting the seat portion 11 at such a height, even if the mother M who is seated holds the baby B, it is easy to stand up. On the other hand, when the mother M sits on the seat 11 and puts her foot on the footrest 18, the bending angle α of the knee K becomes an acute angle. In other words, the knee K of the mother M can be bent so that the knee K is convex upward and obliquely upward.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cushion 20 includes a holding portion 21 (center portion) and both arm portions 22 and 22 provided on both sides of the holding portion 21. In the cushion 20, an arc shape (arc shape) is formed by the holding portion 21 and the both arm portions 22 and 22, and a concave portion 23 is formed by the inner peripheral portion 20 a of the cushion 20. The user's waist can be sandwiched in the recess 23 of the cushion 20, and both arm portions 22, 22 of the cushion 20 are curved in a direction to sandwich the mother's waist against the holding portion 21. In addition, the cushion 20 is formed in a circular shape in a cross-sectional view along a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the cushion 20 extends, and the cushion 20 is a surface that faces up and down when the mother's waist is sandwiched in the recess 23. A certain surface 20b is curved so that both surfaces are convex outward in the cross-sectional view described above. Moreover, the thickness of the cushion 20 is uniform as a whole.

The cushion 20 is detachable from the chair 1. Specifically, the waist support cushion 14 is formed so that the concave portion 23 of the cushion 20 is accommodated in the upper curved portion of the waist support cushion 14. Thereby, the cushion 20 can be stored in the chair 1 by the waist support cushion 14, the backrest 12, and the gap S.
Further, when the chair 1 is used for breastfeeding, it is possible to place both arms 22 and 22 of the cushion 20 on the elbow rest 13 of the chair 1 as shown in FIG. At the time of breastfeeding shown in FIG. 3, the holding portion 21 of the cushion 20 comes into contact with the thigh of the mother M on the top. That is, the cushion 20 can be held by the left and right elbow rests 13 and the mother's thigh F.
That is, when the chair 1 is used for breastfeeding, the cushion 20 is placed on the left and right elbow rests 13. When the user uses the chair 1 for other than breastfeeding, for example, for eating or resting, the recess 23 of the cushion 20 is used. Can be fitted to the waist support cushion 14.

Next, the usage method of the chair 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated.
When breastfeeding, the mother M removes the cushion 20 housed in the chair 1 as part of the backrest 12, as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the mother M sits on the seat cushion 15 while holding the baby B, and the cushion 20 is placed so as to be simultaneously supported by the left and right elbow rests 13 of the chair 1. Fit. Alternatively, in a state where the mother M is standing, the concave portion 23 of the cushion 20 is fitted to the waist, and the chair 1 is seated.
At this time, when there is a distance between the infant B and the mother M (if the mother M cannot be breastfeeded without leaning forward, the infant B is not high enough for the mother M), the mother M is placed on the footrest 18. Put your foot on it. Since the knee K of the mother M is bent so as to be convex upward and obliquely upward, the cushion 20 is lifted up, and the distance between the baby B and the mother M is reduced. Thereby, it is possible to breast-feed with the back muscles extended, and to facilitate the secretion of breast milk.
At this time, the infant B is mainly supported on the holding portion 21 of the cushion 20. Here, since the holding part 21 of the cushion 20 is positioned in front of the elbow rest 13, for example, even if the mother M changes the position of the baby B on the holding part 21, the head of the baby B is the elbow. It is difficult to collide with the table 13.

  After breastfeeding, the infant B stands up while holding the baby B, and the recess 23 of the cushion 20 is fitted on the upper portion of the waist support cushion 14. At this time, it may be used to stand up with the elbow rest 13 as a support. Thereafter, when the infant B falls asleep, the mother M can lean on the chair 1 while holding the infant B. At this time, since the cushion 20 functions as a part of the backrest 12, it becomes a comfortable chair like a sofa. The mother alone can be used as a chair for meals and rest.

According to the chair 1 according to the present invention, since the cushion 20 is provided so as to be detachable from the chair 1, the cushion 20 is removed from the chair 1 when breastfeeding, and both arms 22 of the cushion 20 are placed on the elbow of the chair 1. 13 and can comfortably breastfeed the infant on the cushion 20. At this time, mother M puts her arm on the armrest 13 of the chair 1 via the cushion 20, and thus breastfeeding for a long time without using a cushion or towel provided separately from the chair. Can prevent the burden of the arm (tenosynovitis).
Furthermore, since the cushion 20 can be placed on the elbow rest 13, the height of the infant B can be increased with respect to the mother M. Thereby, since it can breastfeed without leaning forward, it does not put a burden on a back or a waist.
Further, when used as a chair other than breast feeding, the backrest of the chair 1 can be provided with a cushion 20.

  Moreover, since the recessed part 23 formed by the inner peripheral part of the cushion 20 fits in the waist support cushion 14, when using it as a chair other than breast feeding, since the cushion 20 can be accommodated in the backrest 12, the cushion 20 The back can be supported as part of the backrest 12. Thereby, it functions as a chair that is comfortable to sit at other than breast feeding.

  In addition, when the height of the infant B is insufficient with respect to the mother M, conventionally, in order to bring the infant B and the mother M closer, a toe stand or lean forward, and a towel or the like is laid between the infant and the cushion. Work such as adjusting the infant's height. It was easy to get tired when standing on the tiptoe, and when leaning forward, the back and hips were strained and breast milk secretion was poor. However, by placing the foot of the mother M on the footrest portion 18 of the chair 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to breastfeed without standing on the toes or leaning forward and without spreading towels or the like. As a result, breastfeeding can be performed with the back stretched simply by placing the foot on the footrest 18, so that the milk is well secreted and the burden on the back and waist can be reduced.

Moreover, since the protrusion of the elbow rest 13 from the backrest 12 is small, the elbow of the mother M and the head of the infant B are prevented from colliding with the elbow rest 13 when sitting on the chair 1 while holding the infant B. can do.
Further, in the conventional chair described above, a through hole is formed in the central portion of the seat portion, and this through hole is closed with a mat that matches the shape of the through hole. The effect of postpartum pain is reduced by removing the mat when breastfeeding, but it takes a heavy burden on the mother to remove the mat when she is breastfeeding. In addition, since a normal nursing chair remains open, it can be seen at a glance that it is a nursing chair.
However, in the chair 1 according to the present invention, since the depression 15a is provided in the seat cushion 15, the pain in the perineum after birth can be reduced, but at first glance it looks like a normal chair, It can be used gently, for example, during meals and breaks, without the mother being concerned about the surrounding eyes, and also makes it easier for non-lactators to sit.
Furthermore, the depression 15a can relieve the feeling of anxiety of the mother and the resistance when seen by others compared to the through hole.

The shape of the cushion 20 is not limited to the shape described above.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the cushion 30 is a substantially linear cushion 30 and is easily deformed in a direction crossing the extending direction (for example, a so-called bead cushion). Etc.) may be adopted in which the tip portions (both arm portions 22) of each other are fastened in a circular arc shape.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a cushion 40 bent in a V shape and having both arm portions 22 at the end portions of both linear portions may be employed.
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the cushion 50 is bent in a U-shape as a whole, such that both linear arms 22 extend in the same direction from both ends of the linearly extending holding portion 21. There may be.
That is, as the cushion, it is possible to adopt a form in which an arc shape is formed with at least both arms as a part, and the cushion can be appropriately changed to another form having both arms placed on the elbow rest. .
The cushion 20 is preferably detachable from the seat 11 or the backrest 12, but is not particularly limited as long as it is detachable from the chair 1.
Moreover, although the surface 20b of the cushion 20 was made into the shape which curved on both surfaces, one surface may not be curved but planar shape may be sufficient as it. Thereby, when the backrest 12 is planar, when the backrest 12 is stored in the backrest 12, the backrest 12 can be fitted and stored.
Further, although the gap S is provided, the gap S may not be provided depending on the positions of the rear leg portions 16 and 16.
In addition, the elbow holder 13 may be provided with a drink folder on which a baby bottle or a user's drink can be placed.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although utilization of the chair 1 at the time of the breast feeding of the mother M was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, It is also possible to use the chair 1 when a mother breast-feeds using artificial milk. is there.

  As mentioned above, although preferable embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these embodiment. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above description, but only by the scope of the appended claims.
