Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an infant carrier for carrying an infant.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Carrying the baby when going out, for example, may block both hands and make it inconvenient for various operations, and holding it for a long time may cause the arms to become extremely tired and burden the carrier. Therefore, as an assisting device for holding an infant, a baby rack having a concave portion for holding the infant's body in an annular band and a shoulder abutment provided at a position facing the concave portion is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-29262. Is disclosed.

[0003] According to this, the weight of the infant can be supported by the shoulder and one hand is free, so that the burden on the carrier is greatly reduced and a certain amount of work can be performed. However, since the side of the belt where the recess is formed is not locked to the carrier's body, a gap is easily created between the carrier's body and the recess where the baby is held due to vibrations etc. during walking. There is a concern that the infant may fall from this gap.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 According to the present invention, one of the arms is free, the fatigue of the arms can be prevented, the burden of holding the baby can be reduced, and the safety is high without leaving the body of the carrier. It is intended to provide an infant carrier.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the infant carrier of the present invention, a part of the wide and annular infant holding band is shrunk so as to be narrower than the other part, and a part of the infant holding band is provided with a resilient shoulder pad. At one side edge of the baby holding band, a pair of belts detachably engaged with each other are opposed to each other at positions spaced from both ends of the shoulder pad along the baby holding band. And the length of at least one of the belts is adjustable.

[0006] With the belt facing the body side of the carrier, the head and one arm are passed through the inside of the baby holding band, the shoulder pad is applied to the other shoulder, and the baby holding band is further expanded to accommodate the baby. And lock the belt behind the carrier's body. The retracting of the part of the infant holding band creates a natural depression in the other part of the infant holding band to accommodate the infant. In addition, the shoulder rest reduces the burden on the shoulder due to the weight of the baby. In addition, because the belt is locked behind the carrier's body, the infant carrier does not leave the carrier's body.

[0007] A reinforcing piece can be attached along one side edge of the baby holding band, and both ends of the reinforcing piece can be extended as belts. By doing so, the durability of the baby holding band is increased, and there is no risk that the belt will fall off even after long-term use.

[0008] It is also possible to attach a resilient strip along the other side edge of the infant holding band. This further increases the durability of the infant carrier and prevents the baby's weight from digging into the infant's body, even if the other side of the infant carrier becomes tense.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 As shown in FIG. 1, the infant carrier 1 of the present invention has a wide and annular infant holding band 2, an elastic shoulder portion 3 provided on a part of the infant holding band 2, and a shoulder rest portion. And a pair of belts 4 and 5 attached to one side edge of the baby holding band 2 at a slight distance from both ends of the belt.

The infant holding band 2 is made of a strong and thick cloth having a width of about 70 cm to 80 cm and a length of about 1.4 m to 1.5 m, and folds both ends thereof so as to be narrower than other parts. And sewn together to form a partly narrow ring. The size of the cloth used as the material of the baby holding band 2 can be slightly increased or decreased. Also, the cloth 6 is applied to the front and back surfaces of the sewn portion of the infant holding band 2, and a cushioning material such as urethane is filled between them to form the shoulder pad 3.

Along a side edge of the infant holding band 2, a reinforcing piece 7 formed by folding a long and thin cloth in the width direction is sewn, and both ends of the reinforcing piece 7 are attached to the infant holding band 2. The belts 4 and 5 are extended without sewing. In other words, a pair of belts 4 and 5 are attached to one side edge of the baby holding band 2 at positions spaced from the both ends of the shoulder pad 3 along the baby holding band 2 so as to face each other. Male and female locking members 8 and 9 which are detachably engaged with each other are attached to the tips of the belts 4 and 5, respectively. The male locking member 8 is slidably attached to the one belt 4, and the length of the one belt 4 can be adjusted by sliding the locking member 8. Further, a belt loop 10 is provided on the outer surface of the base portion of one of the belts 4 so that a portion of the belt 4 ahead of the locking member 8 can be folded back and inserted therethrough.

In the example shown in the figure, the female locking member 9 is fixed to the tip of the other belt 5, but the locking member 9 is also slidably attached to the belt 5, and the length of the other belt 5 is long. You may be able to adjust the length. It is desirable that the male and female locking members 8 and 9 be of a type that can be engaged with one touch only by being pushed in and that cannot be disengaged unless the operation section 11 is operated, because the mounting is simple and the safety is high.

An elastic strip 12 is attached along the other side edge of the infant holding band 2. The band piece 12 is formed by folding the other side edge of the baby holding band 2 to the back side and filling a cushion material made of a thin band-shaped urethane or the like therebetween. In addition, in the case of the baby carrier 1 for summer, it is possible to form the baby holding band 2 with a net material to enhance the air permeability, and it is also possible to use a thin cloth.

The infant carrier 1 of the present invention is used as follows. The carrier turns one side edge of the baby holding band 2, that is, the side edge provided with the belts 4, 5 toward the body, passes the neck and the arm on the side supporting the baby through the inside of the baby holding band 2, and puts the shoulder pad 3 on the body. Apply to the other shoulder. Next, the belts 4 and 5 are turned behind the body to engage the locking members 8 and 9, and the length of one of the belts 4 is adjusted so that the lower part of the infant holding band 2 is brought into close contact with the body. Next, spread the lower part of the infant holding belt 2 and lay the infant on its back, and adjust the infant's buttocks to the lowest position.

[0015] In this case, the weight of the baby is almost added to the shoulder on the opposite side, so that the arm does not become tired, and the baby can be held safely and for a long time only by supporting the buttocks lightly with one arm. Can be. At this time, since the load applied to the shoulder is buffered by the shoulder pad 3, it is possible to minimize shoulder pain. In addition, the other arm is completely free, so it is possible to carry out work such as holding a bag or taking things in and out, and the lower part of the infant holding belt 2 is held close to the body of the carrier by belts 4 and 5. Therefore, no gap is opened between the infant carrier 1 and the body of the carrier.

When the baby is to be lowered, the engagement of the locking members 8 and 9 is released, the belts 4 and 5 are removed, the neck and the arm are removed from the baby holding band 2, and the baby carrier is kept with the baby inserted. Just drop 1 on the floor or bed. When the baby carrier 1 is not used, it can be folded almost to the size of the shoulder pad 3, so that it is not bulky and convenient in form. In addition, the infant carrier 1 can be used for carrying an animal, and can also be used for carrying luggage.

[0017]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the baby is held, the load can be supported by the shoulders. Therefore, even if the baby is held for a long time, the arms of the carrier are not tired, and Shoulder loads are reduced by the elasticity of the shoulder rest, reducing shoulder pain. Also, since a part of the wide infant holding band is shrunk, a natural dent is formed on the opposite side of the infant holding band, and the baby fits perfectly in this dent, so that the stability is good.

Furthermore, since one arm of the carrier is free, it is easy to carry out a work such as holding a bag or taking in and out an object. In addition, the lower part of the infant holding belt is held close to the body of the carrier by the belt, so that there is no fear that the infant falls from the gap between the infant holding belt and the body of the carrier, and the safety is high.

According to the configuration of the second aspect, the holding force of the belt is increased, the strength of the infant holding band is improved, and one side edge of the infant holding band is frayed even when used for a long time. There is no worry about loosening or the belt falling off. According to the configuration of the third aspect, the strength of the baby holding band is further increased, and even if the other side edge of the baby holding band is tensed by the weight of the baby, there is no possibility that the baby holding band will bite into the body of the baby.
