Description

  The present invention relates to a cowling for a child seat that can be suitably used for a child seat for carrying a child with a small physique (particularly a younger infant).

A rain cover to be mounted as a measure against cold, wind and rain has been proposed for a child seat device attached to a bicycle, a stroller, and the like (hereinafter referred to as “child seat”) (Patent Document 1). etc).
In patent document 1, the rain cover used for the child seat attached to the front part (on the handlebar or in front of the handlebar) of the bicycle and the rain cover used for the child seat attached to the rear part (on the rear cargo bed) of the bicycle are separately provided. It is disclosed.

However, each rain cover has the same basic configuration, and has a pair of left and right cores (bones) made by bending the wire into an oval closed loop (endless ring shape). A cover material such as a transparent sheet or a synthetic fiber fabric is pasted so as to be along each outer ring of the core material or along the outer periphery extending from the front surface to the upper part and rear part of the ring.
Patent Document 1 does not mention the material forming the core, but since it is explained that elasticity is necessary, it is probably a metal wire (such as a spring steel wire, piano wire, stainless steel wire) ( Therefore, it is presumed that the cross-sectional shape of the wire is a small circle.

In order to attach this rain cover to the child seat at the front of the bicycle, the front fixture provided at the bottom of the cover is coupled to the lower position of the handle of the bicycle, and the intermediate fixing provided at the side of the cover is attached to the bicycle. The rear fixing tool provided at the rear part of the cover is connected to the rear part of the headrest of the child seat.
To attach this rain cover to the child seat at the rear of the bicycle, connect the front fixture provided at the bottom of the cover to the handle of the child seat, and attach the rear fixture provided at the back of the cover to the back of the child seat. Turn to the back and connect.

JP, 2014-129052, A

In the conventional rain cover, the ring shape by the core material (three-dimensional shape with the child seat covered) depends on the elastic repulsion force by bending the core material. The shape force was not sufficient because the core material was made of a wire (wire) having a small section modulus.
For example, the ring shape of the core material can easily be elastically deformed only by the load imposed by the cover material such as a transparent sheet, etc., and rainwater etc. tends to accumulate on the ceiling part placed directly above the child seat and hang down In addition, the front window portion arranged in front of the child seat may be easily deformed to rise up due to air resistance such as during a bicycle run. For this reason, there is a risk that the child in the rain cover (the child sitting in the child seat) may feel a sense of narrowness or pressure.

  Further, the fixture provided in the rain cover is bonded to the cover material, and does not have a direct bonding relationship with the core material. For this reason, when strong wind blows on the rain cover, the rain cover as a whole, including the core material, will vibrate and flutter while the anchor is located at the anchor point. In some cases, further elastic deformation was induced in the material.

In addition, the cover material corresponding to the front window part can be rolled up from the bottom like a saddle to open the front of the child seat. Thus, the side window portions that stand up are forced to stand independently like a single wall (FIG. 18 of Patent Document 1).
However, these left and right side window parts have a core material, but the core material is weak and not fixed as described above. There was a serious problem that it was easily tilted to the left and right and spread in a mouth-open shape. If this happens, it will become difficult even for bicycles to run.

  Not only that, the bottom edge (hem part) of this rain cover is a structure that swings freely while hanging like a curtain, so that the hem part will wind against the wind when riding a bicycle or when strong wind blows. There were times when it was flipped up or down. When this happens, it becomes more susceptible to the effects of air resistance, promotes deformation of the entire rain cover, and in some cases wind or rain or cold blows to the child sitting on the child seat from where the hem part turns up, There was also a risk of adversely affecting the running of the car.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can be reliably and easily attached to a child seat such as a baby stroller including a child seat device attached to a bicycle, and yet has high shape retention. It shall be able to strongly resist deformation due to wind and other effects, which will adversely affect bicycle driving and stroller driving, etc. It is an object to provide a cowling for a child seat that does not.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
That is, the cowling for a child seat according to the present invention has a front fixed end that is fixed to the front left side of the child seat and a rear fixed end that is fixed to the rear left side of the child seat and can be elastically deformed into an upwardly bulging curve shape. Elastically deformed into a curved shape with an upper bulge having a left core member formed of a material, a front fixed end fixed to the front right side of the child seat and a rear fixed end fixed to the rear right side of the child seat It is stretched along the longitudinal direction of the left and right core members in a state in which a transparent window is disposed between the right core member formed of a material that can be used and at least the left core member and the right core member. And a cover body.

The left core material and the right core material are preferably formed of a resin belt material having a rectangular cross section with long sides set in the left-right direction.
The cover body includes a center cover portion extending from a front portion, a ceiling portion, and a rear portion of the child seat, and a pair of left and right side cover portions arranged in a joined state on a left outer peripheral portion and a right outer peripheral portion of the center cover portion. The left side cover portion is provided with a core storage bag that protrudes rightward from the outer peripheral portion and passes the left core member, and the right side cover portion has a left side from the outer peripheral portion. A lead storage bag is provided that extends to the right core material and passes through at least the left side cover portion and the lead storage bag provided on the left side cover portion in the longitudinal direction of the lead storage bag. It is good also as what is provided with the line fastener part along.

The pair of left and right side cover portions may be provided with hem stoppers that squeeze the hem radially inward so as to wrap the lower end of the child seat.
A front end fixing base that is attached to the rear cargo bed of the bicycle in front of the child seat, and a rear end fixing portion provided on the back surface of the back portion of the child seat that is attached to the rear cargo bed of the bicycle or the back surface of the back portion of the child seat A pair of left and right end portions for inserting and locking the front fixed ends of the left core material and the right core material to the front end fixing base. The holes may be formed so as to open upward in the left-right direction.

  The cowling for a child seat according to the present invention can be securely and easily attached to a child seat such as a baby stroller as well as a child seat device attached to a bicycle, yet has high shape retention and is deformed by the influence of wind or the like. Therefore, it does not adversely affect the driving of the bicycle or the driving of the stroller, and does not give the child sitting in the child seat a feeling of narrowness, pressure, discomfort due to wind, rain, or cold.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 15 show an embodiment of a cowling 1 for a child seat according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the cowling 1 according to the present embodiment is one that is attached to a child seat 5 that is mounted on the rear cargo bed 3 of the bicycle 2 (behind the saddle 4).
The illustrated child seat 5 (see FIG. 10) includes a seat 6 for seating an infant (supporting the buttocks of the infant), and a backrest 7 that stands up at the rear of the seat 6 and supports the back of the infant. The headrest 8 is provided at the upper part of the backrest part 7 so that the vertical position can be adjusted, the child handle 9 stands up in front of the seat part 6, and the pair of left and right legs placed on the left and right sides at the lower part of the seat part 6 Part 10 is provided.

In the following, for convenience of explanation, the left side of FIG. 1 (left side view) is set as “front” of the cowling 1 and the right side of FIG. 1 is set as “rear”. Further, with the child sitting in the child seat 5 as a reference, the left side of the cowling 1 is set as “left” of the cowling 1 along the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG.
The cowling 1 according to the present embodiment has a child seat 5, a child sitting in the child seat 5, and a space required above the child seat 5 to put the child on and off the child seat 5. In this example, the entire device can be wrapped from above.

The cowling 1 has a pair of left and right core members (a left core member 12 and a right core member 13), and a cover body 15 stretched between the left and right core members 12 and 13.
First, the left core material 12 and the right core material 13 will be described.
The left core member 12 and the right core member 13 are made of a material that can be elastically deformed with respect to bending in the longitudinal direction and that can be restored to its original linear shape by elastic repulsion after being deformed. By adopting such a material, it can be elastically deformed into a curved shape with an upper bulge (see FIG. 10), and the shape recovery action is always maintained when the curved shape with an upper bulge is used. By this shape recovery action, the upper bulge shape is retained as voluntarily and spontaneously as possible.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 are formed of a belt belt material having a rectangular cross section with long sides set in the left-right direction. In other words, the curved shape of the upper bulge can be easily and supple because the uneven plane is bent, and in the state of the curved shape of the upper bulge, based on the height of the section modulus, Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that the rigidity is high with respect to an external force such as bending deformation or twisting, and deformation is hardly caused.

As specific materials for the left core member 12 and the right core member 13, for example, a resin material rich in elasticity such as polycarbonate, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride can be used. In addition, although the metal material which has spring property can also be employ | adopted, from a viewpoint of corrosion resistance, weight reduction, cost reduction, etc., it is often more preferable to use a resin material rather than using a metal material.
These left core members 12 have a front fixed end 12a (see FIG. 12) and a rear fixed end 12b (see FIG. 15). Similarly, the right core member 13 has a front fixed end 13a and a rear fixed end 13b. Each of them has both ends, and in a normal state where no external force such as bending is applied, it has a straight line shape. It is not excluded to form a closed loop such as a ring shape.

As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the front fixed end 12 a of the left core member 12 and the front fixed end 13 a of the right core member 13 are for fixing in front of the child seat 5. For fixing, a front end fixing base 20 to be separately attached to the rear cargo bed 3 of the bicycle 2 is used. The front end fixing base 20 is preferably made of resin for the purpose of weight reduction and cost reduction.
In the present embodiment, the front end fixing base 20 is formed with a pair of left and right end insertion holes 21 for inserting the front fixed ends 12a and 13a of the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 open upward, An example is shown in which the front fixed ends 12a and 13a inserted into the end insertion holes 21 are provided with a detachable button 22 that can be locked in a state where the front fixed ends 12a and 13a can be prevented from coming off or can be released. .

These end insertion holes 21 are restricted in arrangement so that the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 pass through the upper part near the left end and the upper part near the right end, respectively, avoiding directly above the child seat 5. The left and right directions are provided apart from each other.
Although illustration is omitted, if an example of the structure of locking and unlocking by the detachable button 22 is shown, an engaged portion by a hole, a notch, a protrusion, or the like provided in the front fixed ends 12a and 13a (in the illustrated example The engagement portion 23 provided in the detachable button 22 is switched between locking and disengagement when the engagement portion provided on the detachable button 22 moves back and forth depending on whether or not the detachable button 22 is pushed. Of these, a mechanism capable of self-holding the locked state with a spring or the like (the standby state becomes this self-holding state) may be employed.

However, this is only an example, and any other mechanism can be employed. In some cases, it is possible to employ a structure such as screwing or press-fitting (one that does not assume detachment once fixed).
In order to fix the front end fixing base 20 to the rear cargo bed 3 of the bicycle 2, the structure using the hugging belt 25 is adopted, which simplifies the structure, facilitates attachment / detachment, reduces weight, reduces costs, and the like. Is suitable in that it is obtained.

The hugging belt 25 has a buckle portion 26 at one end portion in the longitudinal direction, and the other end portion where the front end fixing base 20 is sewed up and down is located at an approximate boundary position through the buckle portion 26. It is assumed that the male surface 27a and the female surface 27b of the surface fastener are formed adjacent to each other.
If such a structure is adopted, it can be attached to a wire type fence structure widely adopted for the rear cargo bed 3 of the bicycle 2 with versatility. Moreover, it is excellent at the point which can attach or detach with respect to the rear loading platform 3 easily.

However, the adoption of such a fixing structure is not limited at all, and a structure using a mounting bracket and a mounting screw can be employed. Further, the front end fixing base 20 can be provided integrally with the rear cargo bed 3.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, the rear fixed end 12 b of the left core member 12 and the rear fixed end 13 b of the right core member 13 are for fixing to the rear portion of the child seat 5. For fixing, a rear end fixing portion 30 is separately attached to the back surface (rear surface) of the backrest portion 7 in the child seat 5.

In the present embodiment, the rear end fixing portion 30 includes a rectangular bar-like adjustment bar 31 connected to the rear fixing ends 12b and 13b of the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 in an extended manner, and the adjustment bar 31 connected to the child seat. The thing which has the bar holder 32 for making it hold | maintain at the backrest part 5 of 5 is illustrated.
The adjustment bar 31 is provided with an end connecting portion 35 into which the rear fixed ends 12b and 13b of the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 are inserted at the upper end portion. A slightly larger diameter is provided below the end connecting portion 35. A plurality of locking rods 36 protruding in a ring shape are provided at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction.

If an example is shown about the structure of the connection by the end part connection part 35 and a connection cancellation | release, the to-be-engaged part by the hole, notch, or protrusion etc. which were provided in the rear fixed ends 12b and 13b (the illustration shows the engagement penetrated in the front-back direction For the hole 37), a mechanism having an elastic claw 38 that can be elastically deformed between locking and releasing may be adopted. Note that a connection structure such as screwing or adhesion may be employed.
On the other hand, the bar holder 32 is formed of an elastic-rich material such as rubber, and has a holding cylinder portion 40 having an upper and lower through-hole through which the adjustment bar 31 is inserted, and protrudes laterally from the holding cylinder portion 40. And an anchor portion 41 provided.

The upper and lower through-holes of the holding cylinder portion 40 are formed to be slightly smaller in diameter than the outer diameter of the locking rod 36 in the adjustment bar 31 in a normal state (a state in which the holding cylinder portion 40 is not elastically deformed). The anchor portion 41 is formed into a mushroom shape with a narrow neck and a large tip end so that the anchor portion 41 can be forcibly pushed into the through hole 42 provided in the backrest portion 7 of the child seat 5 and can be prevented from being pulled out by the elastic force of the material. Is.
If such a structure is adopted, the height position of the adjustment bar 31 inserted into the holding cylinder portion 40 is locked by the locking rod 36 at an appropriate position with respect to the bar holder 32 attached to the backrest portion 7 of the child seat 5. Thus, the lengths of the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 connected to the adjustment bar 31 can be adjusted.

Therefore, it is very easy to set the curved shape of the upper bulge of the left core member 12 and the right core member 13 to an appropriate height in accordance with the size of the child seat 5 and the physique of the child sitting in the child seat 5. Can be done. Further, since no tools are required when setting the height, there is an advantage that the height can be easily set even when going out.
In the rear end fixing portion 30, the bar holder 32 may be integrally provided on the back surface of the backrest portion 7 of the child seat 5. In addition to the combination of the adjustment bar 31 and the bar holder 32, a long hole in the height adjustment direction is formed in the adjustment bar 31, and the long hole is directly formed on the back surface of the backrest portion 7 in the child seat 5. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which an adjustment bolt to be screwed in or out is inserted and fixed. The long holes can be provided directly in the left and right core members 12 and 13 by omitting the adjustment bar 31.

Next, the cover body 15 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover body 15 includes a center cover portion 45, a left side cover portion 46 joined to the left outer peripheral portion of the center cover portion 45, and a right outer peripheral portion of the center cover portion 45. And a right side cover portion 47 to be joined.
The left core member 12 described above is provided between the center cover portion 45 and the left side cover portion 46 (see also FIGS. 4 and 5). Similarly, the center cover portion 45 and the right side cover are provided. The right core member 13 is provided between the joint with the portion 47.

Therefore, the center cover portion 45 obtains a cooperative shape retaining action by the left core material 12 and the right core material 13 being elastically deformed into an upper bulge curve, and similarly exhibits an upward bulge curve shape. .
The center cover part 45 is arranged behind the child, with a front part 50 arranged in front of the child, a ceiling part 51 arranged on the child's head, with the child sitting in the child seat 5 as a reference. It has a back surface portion 52 and is formed so as to extend over the front surface portion 50, the ceiling portion 51, and the back surface portion 52. The front part 50, the ceiling part 51, and the rear part 52 are approximate concepts viewed from their arrangement, and include a case where there is no physical distinction between their boundaries. Of course, a structure that can be clearly distinguished may be used.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the front portion 50 extends to a position that reaches the front surface of the leg rest portion 10 in the child seat 5, and when a child leg is placed on the leg rest portion 10, the child The legs can be protected from cold air and wind from the front. Further, the lower end of the back surface portion 52 extends to a position reaching the upper end of the backrest portion 7 in the child seat 5.
On the other hand, the left side cover part 46 and the right side cover part 47 have such a size that the curved shape of the upper bulge retained by the center cover part 45 and the left and right core members 12 and 13 can be closed from the side. Is formed. Therefore, it is possible to protect the child sitting in the child seat 5 from cold air and wind and rain blowing from the side.

  Note that the left side cover portion 46 and the right side cover portion 47 include back joint portions 48 and 49 that embrace the back side of the backrest portion 7 in the child seat 5. It is not assumed that they are joined and separated by sewing or the like. However, in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 and the like, the back joints 48 and 49 are drawn in a separated state so that the shape and structure of each part can be easily understood. Of course, it is also possible to integrally form the left side cover portion 46 and the right side cover portion 47 from the beginning without providing the back joint portions 48 and 49.

The left side cover portion 46 is provided with a core storage bag 55 so as to protrude rightward from the outer peripheral portion thereof. Between the left side cover portion 46 and the lead storage bag 55, a line fastener portion 56 (generally referred to as “zipper”, “chuck”, or the like) disposed on the upper side along the longitudinal direction of the lead storage bag 55. Is provided).
Further, the left side cover portion 46 is provided with an open line that allows incision with a concave curve from the vicinity of the front portion of the seat portion 6 in the child seat 5 to the vicinity of the rear end of the headrest 8, along the open line. A line fastener portion 57 (see FIG. 3) that is disposed on the lower side is provided. A hook cover 58 is attached to the line fastener portion 57 by sewing or the like so as to cover the entire length from above (in FIG. 3, the lower line fastener portion 57 hidden under the hook cover 58 is understood. For ease of illustration, the bag cover 58 is drawn in a separated state, but it is not actually separable).

  Therefore, in the left side cover part 46, the region sandwiched between the upper and lower line fastener parts 56 and the lower line fastener part 57 is released by meshing the upper line fastener part 56. As shown in FIG. 6, it can be folded leftward. If it does in this way, since the upper part of the seat part 6 of the child seat 5 can be largely opened toward the side, the child can be easily put on and off the child seat 5.

  In addition to releasing the meshing of the upper-side wire fastener part 56 and also releasing the meshing of the lower-side wire fastener part 57, the left side cover part 46 is sandwiched between the upper and lower wire fastener parts 56, 57. Therefore, it is possible to remove the child from the child seat 5 more easily. In summer and the like, it is also possible to run the bicycle 2 with this area removed, so that comfort can be given to the child sitting in the child seat 5 so that a cool breeze hits them.

The core storage bag 55 arranged along the line fastener portion 56 arranged on the upper side is for passing the left core material 12 therethrough. Both ends of the core storage bag 55 are open ends, and the front fixed end 12a and the rear fixed end 12b of the left core member 12 can be pulled out to be exposed.
As described above, the core storage bag 55 has a relationship in which the left side cover portion 46 is disposed with the wire fastener portion 56 disposed on the upper side interposed therebetween. Therefore, by releasing the meshing of the upper-side line fastener part 56, a part of the left side cover part 46 is folded leftward, or by releasing the meshing of the lower-side line fastener part 57 as well. Even when the cover part 46 is removed, the upper part of the linear fastener part 56 that has been split into half by releasing the meshing has an upwardly bulging curve shape by the core storage bag 55 (inner left core material 12). It will be preserved.

Thereby, the operation | work which meshes the wire fastener part 56 of an upper side arrangement | positioning again can be performed easily.
In the present embodiment, the right side cover portion 47 also has a structure substantially similar to that of the left side cover portion 46. That is, in brief, the right side cover portion 47 is provided with a core storage bag 60 so as to protrude leftward from the outer periphery thereof, and is disposed between the right side cover portion 47 and the core storage bag 60. A wire fastener portion 61 is provided.

Further, the right side cover portion 47 is provided with a line fastener portion 62 that is disposed below and below the line fastener portion 61 that is disposed on the upper side, and a collar cover 63 that covers the line fastener portion 57 from above.
And the core storage bag 60 arranged along the line fastener portion 62 which is the lower arrangement is for passing the right core material 13, and the front fixed end 13 a and the rear fixed end of the right core material 13. 13b can be pulled out to be exposed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, these right side cover portions 47 can easily carry children on and off the child seat 5.
That is, in general, an assistant stands on the left side of the child seat 5 and often puts the child on and off the child seat 5, but the child seat 5 depends on various circumstances such as road conditions and the dominant hand of the assistant. It is connected to the advantage that children can be taken on and off from either the left or right side (a convenient one can be selected at any given time).

The center cover part 45 and the left and right side cover parts 46 and 47 can be formed by combining resin-made transparent sheets, synthetic fibers such as nylon, and woven or knitted fabric made of natural fibers.
In addition, the ceiling portion 51 and the back surface portion 52 including the front surface portion 50 of the center cover portion 45 are used to wipe off a sense of blockage, narrowness, pressure, etc. for the child sitting in the child seat 5, and from the outside of the cowling 1. In order to be able to supervise the child inside, it is preferable to form a transparent window between the left and right core members 12 and 13.

  However, the left and right sides of the center cover part 45 are provided with edge covers 65 that prevent the intrusion of rainwater by covering the left and right side cover parts 46 and 47 with the upper-side arranged line fastener parts 56 and 61 when they are joined. It is intended to be provided. Since such an edge cover 65 is required to have an action to prevent fluttering by wind, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, it is preferable to incorporate a rubber cord 66 at the outermost peripheral edge portion. Good. For this reason, it is preferable that the edge cover 65 is formed of a soft cloth that is suitable for narrowing by the rubber string 66.

Between the upper and lower line fastener portions 56 and 57 in the left side cover portion 46 and between the upper and lower line fastener portions 61 and 62 in the right side cover portion 47 are also formed as transparent window portions for the same reason as the center cover portion 45. Is preferred.
In order to put the center cover part 45, the left side cover part 46, and the right side cover part 47 on the child seat 5 to be coupled, a hook-and-loop fastener (generally called “magic tape (registered trademark)” or the like) Detachable operation tools such as hook buttons (metal fittings) and buttons (engaging with buttonholes) are adopted. Depending on the case, it is also possible to adopt a connecting structure using a wire fastener or a string.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the left side cover portion 46 has a front portion (a portion covering the leg rest portion 10 of the child seat 5) and an upper portion (a core storage bag held in a curved shape with an upper bulge). A female member (or a male member) 67 of a hook-and-loop fastener is provided at a total of three locations including an outer surface near the upper portion of 55 and a rear portion (the outer surface of the rear end of the heel cover 58).
In addition, it is convenient for supporting the upper female member 67 that the core storage bag 55 is formed in a flat bag shape in the left-right direction due to the core material 12 being a belt belt. Let me add.

Similarly, in the right side cover portion 47, female members (or male members) 67 of hook-and-loop fasteners are provided at a total of three locations including the front portion, the upper portion, and the rear portion.
On the other hand, in the center cover portion 45, male members that are engaged with the female member 67 at a total of six locations that respectively face the three female members 67 provided on the left and right side cover portions 46 and 47, respectively. 68 (or a female member) is provided.

By the way, in the present embodiment, the following structure is further added.
