As shown in the figure, the child seat cover 100 of the present invention includes a main body portion 10 that covers the back surface, the upper surface, and the side surface of the child seat, and a front cover 20 that covers the front surface of the child seat. In the illustrated example, the main body 10 includes a top cover 11 that covers the upper surface of the child seat, and side / back covers 12 that cover the side surfaces and the back surface of the child seat. In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, the configuration of the main body portion 10 is not limited to this, and the top cover, the side cover, and the back cover are all provided as separate bodies, and these are provided as separate bodies, such as wire fasteners, hook-and-loop fasteners, and snaps. It may be configured to be removable by means of attaching / detaching a button or the like, or it may be configured as a single unit.

In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, the core material is arranged at least a part of the edge portion of the front cover 20. In the illustrated example, the front cover 20 has a front portion 21 and a side portion 22, and has flexibility and elasticity at the upper edge portion of the front portion 21 and the edge portion of the side surface portion 22. The core materials 21a and 22a are arranged. In the illustrated example, the core material 21b is further arranged on both sides of the front portion 21 of the front cover 20. By arranging the core material (core materials 21a, 21b, 22a in the illustrated example) on the edge of the front cover 20 in this way, the shape of the front cover 20 can be maintained. Further, since the front cover 20 is stretched, when the front cover 20 is made of a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, the visibility is good. In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, a core material may also be arranged under the front cover 20 (not shown). Further, the upper surface cover 11 shown in the figure has a dome shape, and has core materials 11a, 11b, and 11c in order to maintain this shape. The core material 21a of the front surface portion 21 is curved so as to project toward the front surface side (lower left direction in FIG. 1) along the core material 11c of the upper surface cover 11. Therefore, for example, even if the core material 21b of the front portion 21 is omitted, the front cover 20 can maintain a curved shape.

In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, the front cover 20 is detachably attached to one side surface of the main body 10 and has a structure that can be opened and closed on the other side surface. In the illustrated example, the front cover 20 is detachably attached to the edge portion 12A of the side surface / back cover, and can be opened / closed at the edge portion 12B of the side surface / back cover. With such a configuration, the entire front cover 20 is opened laterally, and the opening surface is not upward but forward. The front cover 20 can be attached to the edge portion 12A of the side surface / back cover with a wire fastener, a surface fastener, a snap button, or the like. Here, in the illustrated example, since the edge portion 12A of the side surface / back cover and the side surface portion 22 on the detachable side of the corresponding front cover 20 have a bent shape, the entire front cover 20 is opened laterally. Only the lower portion (below the bent portion) of the side surface portion 22 on the detachable side of the front cover 20 is detachably attached, and the upper portion (above the bent portion) is on the opening / closing side of the front cover 20. Like the side surface portion 22, it is fixed so as to be openable and closable.

FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which the front cover is opened with the child seat cover according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention attached to the child seat. In FIG. 6, the foot cover 30 is omitted in order to simplify the drawing. As shown in the figure, if the front cover 20 is detachably attached to the side / back cover edge 12A and can be opened / closed at the side / back cover edge 12B, the front cover 20 is front. The entire cover 20 opens laterally, and the opening surface faces forward instead of upward. As a result, when loading and unloading the child on the child seat, it is not necessary to lift the child high, and the child can be easily loaded and unloaded. Further, since the edge portion of the front cover 20 has a core material (core materials 21a, 21b, 22a in the illustrated example), the front cover 20 can maintain its shape even when the front cover 20 is opened. You will not feel bothered when loading and unloading children.

In the illustrated example, the core materials 11c and 12a having flexibility and elasticity are also provided on the edges of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body 10 of the child seat cover 100 and the edges of the side and back covers 12. It is arranged so as to retain the shape of the main body 10 (see (a) in FIG. 2). Therefore, for example, it can be used in a state where the front cover 20 is removed in fine weather, and it can be used according to the weather and the season. In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, as long as the shape of the main body 10 can be maintained, the core material does not necessarily have to be arranged on the main body 10, and the structure is not limited to the above. ..

Further, when the child seat has a grip bar 40 gripped by a seated child in the front, the front cover 20 and the grip bar 40 of the child seat cover 100 of the present invention can be fixed by the fixing means 23. It is preferably structured (see FIGS. 4 and 6). With such a structure, the grip bar 40 can be opened and closed and the front cover 20 can be opened and closed at the same time, resulting in excellent operability. The fixing means 23 between the front cover 20 and the grip bar 40 is not particularly limited, and a belt with a buckle or the like can be used.

In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, even if a wire fastener, a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap button, or the like is used as an opening / closing means on the opening / closing side of the front cover 20 (in the illustrated example, the edge portion 12B side of the side surface / back cover). However, for example, the magnetic body 13 is arranged on the edge of the side / back cover 12 constituting the main body 10, and is placed on the edge of the side surface 22 of the front cover 20 facing the portion where the magnetic body 13 is arranged. By arranging the magnet 24, the main body 10 and the front cover 20 can be formed so as to be fixed by magnetic force on one side surface. With wire fasteners, the slider may be caught at the corners or curved portions, making smooth opening and closing difficult. Further, it is difficult to open and close the front cover 20 with one hand with a wire fastener or a snap button. On the other hand, by using a magnetic force as the opening / closing means, the front cover 20 can be quickly opened / closed with one hand.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of means for opening and closing the front cover of the child seat cover according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. When the magnet 24 is arranged at the edge of the front cover 20 on the opening / closing side, it is preferable to arrange an elastic member such as a spring 25 so as to span the core material and the magnet. In the illustrated example, an elastic member 25 (spring 25 in the illustrated example) that protrudes outward from the core material 22a along the front cover 20 is attached to the core material 22a arranged along the edge of the front cover 20. The core material 22a, the elastic member 25, and the magnet 24 are covered with the cloth material 29 to form the edge portion of the front cover 20. The child seat cover is attached along the shape of the child seat, but when the core material 22a and the magnet 24 are covered with the cloth material 29 as shown in the illustrated example, the cloth material 29 tends to loosen and form a gap. However, with the above structure, the elastic member 25 such as the spring 25 bends along the curved surface shape of the child seat, so that the cloth material 29 is stretched and can flexibly correspond to the curved surface shape of the child seat. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of gaps. The elastic member 25 can be provided at a plurality of locations along the edge of the front cover 20. Further, in the illustrated example, the elastic member 25 is arranged between the core material and the magnet 24, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the magnet 24 is arranged so as to be located on the inner surface side of the elastic member 25. May be good. Also in this case, the elastic member 25 can prevent the cloth material 29 from loosening and prevent the generation of a gap, while the main body portion 10 and the front cover 20 can be reliably fixed by the magnetic force.

In the illustrated example, the magnetic body 13 and the magnet 24 are continuously arranged along the edges of the main body 10 and the front cover 20, but the main body 10 and the front cover 20 can be fixed by magnetic force. If possible, the magnetic body 13 and the magnet 24 may be arranged at least a part of the respective edges, and may be arranged at a plurality of places at intervals, for example. Here, as the magnetic material 13, for example, a metal plate can be used, and as the magnet 24, a sheet-shaped magnet or the like can be used. In the child seat cover of the present invention, the magnetic material 13 and the magnet 24 may be interchanged with each other.

FIG. 8 is a front-back sectional view of the upper surface cover of the main body of the child seat cover according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the illustrated example, the brim 14 is provided in front of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body 10. In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, the core material 11c is arranged on the edge of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body 10, and the core material 11c exists on the upper edge of the front surface 21 of the front cover 20. It is preferable to provide a fitting portion 15 that fits with the 21a. The fitting portion 15 has an opening at the front, and when the front cover 20 is closed, the core material 21a functions as a stopper that engages after the core material 11c of the upper surface cover 11 is overcome. By fitting the core material 21a of the upper edge portion of the front cover 20 to the fitting portion 15, the upper surface cover of the main body portion 10 and the upper surface of the front cover 20 can be brought into close contact with each other, and rainwater from above can be brought into close contact with the fitting portion 15. Can be prevented from invading. In particular, if the core material 11c and the brim 14 are configured to interlock with each other, when the core material 21a is pushed into the fitting portion 15, the brim 14 is lowered as shown by the arrow, and the intrusion of rainwater is better prevented. be able to.

The fitting portion 15 may be provided on the entire core material 11c at the edge of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body portion 10, but the fitting portions 15 may be provided at a plurality of locations at intervals. In the child seat cover 100 of the present invention, a magnet is arranged on the upper edge of the front cover 20, and a magnetic material is arranged on the front edge of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body 10. The upper end of the front surface portion 21 of 20 and the front surface of the upper surface cover 11 of the main body portion 10 may be formed so as to be fixed by magnetic force.

When the child seat cover 100 of the present invention is attached to the child seat, it is preferable that the front cover 20 has an opening 26 in the vicinity of the grip bar 40 of the child seat. In the illustrated example, the front cover 20 is composed of the upper front cover 20X and the lower front cover 20Y, and the opening 26 is an abbreviation for the front cover 20 of the joints between the upper front cover 20X and the lower front cover 20Y. A slit shape is formed in the central portion so as to penetrate the inside and outside of the child seat cover 100. With such a configuration, it is possible to put a hand inside the child seat cover 100. Therefore, as described above, when the front cover 20 and the grip bar 40 of the child seat are fixed, in rainy weather, a hand can be put in through the opening 26 and the grip bar 40 can be operated to open and close the child. The front cover 20 can be opened and closed without getting wet. The opening 26 is not limited to the illustrated example as long as a hand can be inserted from the outside to the inside, and the opening 26 may be provided in any of the front portion 21 and the side surface portion 22 of the front cover 20. It is not limited to one place, and may be provided in two or more places. Further, the opening 26 is not limited to the joint portion between the upper front cover 20X and the lower front cover 20Y, and may be provided in the lower front cover 20Y. Here, since the joint portion between the upper front cover 20X and the lower front cover 20Y can be joined by, for example, fusion, when the opening 26 is provided in the joint portion, for example, a part of the joint portion is fused. It suffices to provide a part that cannot be worn. In order to prevent rainwater from entering through the opening 26, it is preferable that the opening 26 is covered with a cover sheet (flap 27) or the like.
