[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a basket-shaped infant carrier used when moving a sleeping infant in and out of the house.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the basket-shaped infant carrier 50 is composed of a basket body 51 and a handle member 52, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The basket main body 51 is provided with a bottom portion 53 having a substantially oval shape in a plane, an opening upper portion 54, and a peripheral wall 55, and these are made of plant material such as straw and corn stalks in order to receive the infant 40 so as to hold it softly. Is more flexible. Further, the handle member 52 is formed of a knitting cord or a cotton bandage made of corn stalk, and has a grip portion 56 projecting upward in a loop shape from the opening upper portion 54.

Then, when the handle member 52 is grasped and lifted with the infant 40 put in the basket-shaped infant carrier 50, as shown in FIG. 8, the bottom portion 53 of the basket body 51 is lowered by the weight of the infant 40. The cage is bulged and deformed, and as a result, the upper opening 54 of the basket body 51 is dented and deformed inward as shown in FIG.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The deformation of the basket main body 51 as described above is necessary for softly receiving the infant 40 as described above, but since the amount of deformation has been too large in the past, the following problems occur. there were. In other words, if the amount of protrusion deformation of the bottom portion 53 is too large, when the basket-shaped infant carrier 50 is lifted, there is no sense of rigidity, and the infant 40 is sunk too much, and the person who lifts it also feels uneasy. In addition, if the amount of deformation of the bud of the upper opening 54 is too large, it will cover the infant 40 immediately above, which gives the infant 40 a feeling of being trapped and makes him uneasy. Can't see well.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent the baby from sinking too much and to secure an appropriate rigidity by suppressing the amount of deformation of the bottom when the baby's weight is received, while softly receiving the baby. Another object of the present invention is to provide a basket-type infant carrier that can be achieved and that can suppress the deformation of the bud at the top of the opening to prevent the feeling of trapping the infant and to grasp the state of the infant.

[0006]

[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a basket-shaped baby carrier according to the present invention comprises a flexible basket body made of a plant material having a bottom and an opening upper portion having a substantially oval shape in a plane, and a handle member for gripping with a hand. In a basket-shaped infant carrier including the above, a structure in which an elastic deformation suppressing member is attached to the bottom of the basket body is adopted. According to this configuration, it is possible to suppress the amount of deformation of the protruding portion at the bottom and the amount of deformation of the bud at the upper portion of the opening when receiving the weight of the baby while elastically and softly receiving the baby.

Here, the deformation suppressing member may be made of any material as long as it has elasticity, and examples thereof include bamboo, metal, and resin, and it is preferable that the deformation suppressing member is in the shape of a strip plate. If it is in the shape of a strip, it is not bulky in the height direction and has a large area, so the weight of an infant can be diffused.

It is preferable that the deformation suppressing member is attached to the bottom surface of the bottom of the basket body, and in this case, no extra protrusions are formed on the top surface of the bottom. Further, in this case, it is preferable that the handle member wraps around from the grip portion projecting upward in a loop shape from the upper portion of the opening of the basket main body to the lower surface of the bottom portion via the outer surface of the peripheral wall to cover the deformation suppressing member. By doing so, it is not necessary to prepare a new member for covering the deformation suppressing member, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

The deformation suppressing member is preferably arranged so as to extend in the lateral direction of the bottom portion of the basket body. In this case, a short member is sufficient and it is easy to hide it by a handle member or the like. Further, in this case, it is preferable that two or more deformation amount suppressing members are attached at intervals, and the distance is preferably 10 to 30 cm. That way, the weight of the baby can be spread throughout the bottom and received in a stable manner.

The deformation suppressing member may suppress the downward protruding deformation at the central portion of the bottom of the basket body to 2 to 3 cm when an infant of 10 kg in weight is put in the basket body. It is preferable, and at the same time, that the amount of deformation of the bud in the widthwise direction of the opening at the central portion of the upper opening of the basket body is suppressed to 15 to 20 cm. When the protrusion deformation amount and / or the bud deformation amount is within the above range, it is possible to provide a well-balanced and appropriate flexibility and rigidity. In addition, as a matter of course, an infant having a body weight of 10 kg or less can be accommodated, and in that case, the protrusion deformation amount and the bud deformation amount also change depending on the weight.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a basket-shaped infant carrier embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIGS. 1 to 5 show a first embodiment, and a basket-shaped infant carrier 1 of this embodiment is composed of a basket body 2, a handle member 3 and a deformation amount suppressing member 4, as shown in FIG. ing.

The basket main body 2 includes a bottom portion 5 having a substantially oval shape in a plane, an opening upper portion 6 and a peripheral wall 7 that is widened upward, and the width of the bottom portion 5 in the widthwise direction is about 10 when the infant 40 is not loaded. 37 cm, the length in the longitudinal direction is about 69 cm, the width in the lateral direction at the central portion of the upper opening 6 is about 46 cm, the length in the longitudinal direction is about 82 cm, and the central portion of the peripheral wall 7 is Is about 22 cm high. The bottom part 5 and the peripheral wall 7 are formed by bundling straw with a core string 8 having a diameter of 12 to 18 mm, which is wound in a spiral or spiral manner, and the corn stalk 9 is wrapped around the core string 8 to form the core string. It is assembled by connecting the stalks 9 of the corn with the corn stalks 9 and is made flexible so that the baby 40 can be received softly.

The handle member 3 includes two grip portions 11 projecting upward in a loop shape from both sides of the opening upper portion 6 of the basket body 2, and a wraparound portion 12 that wraps around the outer surface of the peripheral wall 7 and the lower surface of the bottom portion 5. Consists of. The grip portion 11 is made by sewing together two cotton band cords 13 having a width of about 3 cm and inserting a braid cord 14 having a diameter of about 15 to 20 mm, which is knitted with corn stalks, into the grip portion 11 and is easy to hold. As you can see, the cross section is round. In the wrap-around part 12, two cotton band cords 13 continuous from the grip part 11 are bifurcated at the base of each grip part 11, so that four cotton band cords 13 are wound around the bottom surface of the bottom part 5. It is crowded.

The deformation suppressing member 4 is a strip-shaped member formed by cutting a bamboo piece having a thickness of about 1.5 mm and a width of about 20 mm into a length of about 35 cm, and has a flexible elasticity. Then, the two deformation amount suppressing members 4 are covered by the two cotton band cords 13 on the inner side of the four cotton band cords 13 wrapped around the lower surface of the bottom part 5 (by this, In this embodiment, the distance is set to about 20 cm), and they are arranged on the lower surface of the bottom portion 5 so as to extend in the lateral direction.

As shown in the cross-sections of FIGS. 2 and 3, the cotton strap 13 that covers the deformation suppressing member 4 is sewn to the bottom 5 with threads 15 at the left and right ends, respectively. The portion of the cotton band 13 that does not cover the deformation suppressing member 4 is also sewn to the peripheral wall 7 and the bottom portion 5 with the thread 15. It should be noted that the handle member 3 may be formed of a braid, vinyl or leather knitted from corn stalk without using the cotton band 13.

Now, a test for confirming the effect of the above-mentioned embodiment was conducted. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the basket-shaped infant carrier 1 of the above-described embodiment, a rigid column having a uniform mass of 10 kg, a diameter of 14 cm, and a length of 43 cm is used as an infant 40, and is laid down. When the grip portion 11 of No. 3 is lifted by grasping it with a hand, the amount of downward deformation A of the central portion of the bottom portion 5 of the basket body 2 and the bud of the opening width in the lateral direction at the central portion of the opening upper portion 6 When the deformation amount B was measured, the protrusion deformation amount A was about 2. The bud deformation amount was about 19 cm. In other words, the bulge deformation of the bottom portion 5 is naturally 0 when there is no load of the hard cylinder, and the bulge deformation of only about 2.5 cm when the hard cylinder is loaded. Moreover, the opening width of the upper opening 6 was about 46 cm as described above when no load was applied without the hard cylinder, but the opening width was deformed to about 27 cm when the hard cylinder was loaded. is there.

For comparison, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a basket-shaped infant of a comparative example (corresponding to a conventional example) having the same configuration as that of the example except that the deformation suppressing member is not attached. When the same hard cylinder as above was laid in the carrier 50 and the grip portion 56 was gripped and lifted, the protrusion deformation amount A of the bottom portion 53 was about 4.5 cm, and the opening width bud of the opening upper portion 54 was formed. The amount of deformation B was about 22 cm.

Further, due to manufacturing errors, a large number of basket-shaped infant carriers whose dimensions and flexibility are slightly different from those of the above-mentioned Examples and Comparative Examples were manufactured, and the same as above for these Examples and Comparative Examples. A test was carried out to measure the amount of protrusion deformation at the bottom and the amount of deformation of the bud at the top of the opening. The results are summarized in Table 1.

[0019]

[Table 1]

As can be seen from these test results, according to the basket-type infant carrier 1 of the present embodiment, the protruding deformation amount of the bottom portion 5 is reliably suppressed as compared with the conventional one, while the infant 40 is softly received. As a result, it is possible to prevent the baby 40 from sinking too much and to secure an appropriate rigidity. In addition, the deformation amount of the bud of the upper opening 6 can be suppressed more reliably than in the conventional case, and the baby 40 can be prevented from being trapped. It is possible to prevent and grasp the state of the infant 40.

Next, FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment, and in the basket-type baby carrier 1 of this embodiment, the wrap-around portion 12 of the handle member 3 is composed of only two cotton straps 13. , Which is different from the first embodiment. Therefore, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals in FIG. 6 and their explanations are omitted.

FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment, and the basket-type baby carrier 1 of this embodiment is constituted only by two cotton band cords 13 in which the wrap-around portion 12 of the handle member 3 intersects with the lower surface of the bottom portion 5. This is different from the first embodiment in that the two deformation amount suppressing members 4 are arranged in a crossed manner so as to be covered by the cotton straps 13. Therefore, the same parts as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment in FIG. 7 and their explanations are omitted.

The basket-type baby carrier 1 according to the second or third embodiment also provides substantially the same operational effects as the first embodiment, and simplifies the manufacturing.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and may be embodied by being appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the invention as follows. (1) Of the four cotton straps 13 forming the wraparound portion 12 of the first embodiment, the outer two cover the two deformation amount suppressing members 4 or change the number of the deformation amount suppressing members 4. Increase to 4 and cover up with 4 cotton strips 13. (2) The deformation amount adjusting member is formed of a plurality of rods.
