Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The school proposal relates to a child seat for a bicycle having a simulated handle for an infant, and more particularly to a child seat that is detachably attached to a handlebar of a bicycle and an infant head protection cushion attached to the child seat. It is.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional example of this type of bicycle child seat is known, for example, from Benelux Design Registration No. 2 6653-00.

[0003] That is, the conventional bicycle child seat is mounted on a handlebar of a bicycle so that an infant is seated at a front position between the handlebar and the saddle, and a driver sitting on the bicycle saddle can use both hands. This is a so-called front child seat that allows the driver to run with the handlebar grasped inside the pocket between the arms of the driver while sheltering the child. There is a simulated toy handlebar that imitates the handle of the bicycle itself.

By the way, it is important to protect the head, especially for small infants. This is because, for example, when stopping a bicycle suddenly or climbing over a bump on the road, the child's head can easily tilt forward, especially in the case of a front child seat, driving in front of the child's head. Because there is no soft support like the back of the person, the infant is likely to be injured by hitting his head against the simulated handlebar of the child seat.

[0005] Further, sometimes the infant falls asleep while being put on the front child seat of the bicycle, and puts his head on the simulated handlebar of the child seat. Uncomfortable for infants.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The problem to be solved by the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks mentioned above and to provide effective head protection and safety measures in the front child seat for bicycles with a simulated handle, and to enable the infant to rest on the simulated handle regardless of sleepiness. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle child seat with a head protection cushion which is more comfortable when a part is placed thereon, and a head protection cushion for mounting the child seat.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, this problem is solved by attaching a head protection cushion made of an elastic material such as foamed rubber or foamed resin to a simulated handlebar of a bicycle child seat having a simulated handle for an infant. .

[0008] The present invention also provides a head protection cushion to be attached to a bicycle child seat having a simulated handle for an infant, and this cushion is used for attachment to a commercially available bicycle child seat. A cylindrical body made of an elastic material which can be opened at a cut in the longitudinal direction, and a cloth cover, which preferably covers the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body together with the cut and the inner peripheral surface. The tubular main body is made of foamed rubber or foamed resin, for example, and can be opened by a cut, so that it can be easily slid over the simulated handlebar.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover is provided with connecting means for closing the cut at the position of the cut in the tubular main body. The connecting means is preferably a Velcro fastener or snap fastener.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bicycle child seat with a simulated handle for an infant according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a head protection cushion to be attached to the bicycle child seat.

In FIG. 1, a bicycle child seat, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, is hooked and mounted on a bicycle handlebar (not shown) by a pair of left and right engagement metal fittings at the upper front part of the bicycle, so that the bicycle handlebar and the saddle can be mounted. The driver sits on the bicycle saddle while holding the handlebar with both hands, and can cover the infant inside the pocket between the arms of the driver with the infant sitting in the front position between The so-called front child seat is provided with a backrest and a seat belt integrated with the seat surface, and a pair of footrests for placing both feet of the infant, as well as holding the infant with both hands. A simulated toy handlebar 2 simulating a bicycle handle is provided. The simulated handlebar 2 is generally made of a metal or hard plastic material, and is indicated by a broken line in FIG. In the present embodiment, the simulated handlebar 2 is provided with a head protection cushion 3 made of a flexible elastic material such as foamed rubber or foamed resin. Is covered.

FIG. 2 shows a detailed structure of the head protection cushion 3, which is detachably attached to a simulated handlebar for an infant in a front child seat for a bicycle. The head protection cushion 3 includes a tubular main body 5 made of a flexible elastic material such as foamed rubber or foam resin that can be opened at a longitudinal cut 6, and the outer peripheral surface of the tubular main body 5 has a cut 6 and an inner periphery. It is covered with a cloth cover 4 together with the surface 7.

A Velcro fastener 8 as a connecting means for closing the cut 6 at a position facing each other is attached to the surface of the cover 4 in the cut 6 of the cylindrical main body 5. As this connecting means, for example, a plurality of pairs of snap fasteners attached at appropriate intervals can be employed other than the Velcro fastener 8.

If the head protection cushion 3 is put on the simulated handlebar 2 and the cut 6 is closed with a Velcro fastener 8, the cylindrical main body 5 covers the outer periphery of the hard simulated handlebar 2. Therefore, even if the infant's head tilts forward when, for example, suddenly stopping the bicycle or climbing over a bump on the road surface, the head protection cushion 3 becomes a soft shock absorber for the infant's head, and the impact is reduced. It can absorb and protect the infant's head from injury.

Also, when the infant falls asleep on the front child seat of the bicycle and puts his / her head on the simulated handlebar of the child seat, the cushion 3 made of the flexible elastic material can be used as the head of the infant. Can be softly received and provide comfortable support for infants.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, effective head protection and safety measures for infants can be taken simply by attaching a one-touch protective cushion to the front child seat for a bicycle with a simulated handle, In addition, a head that can provide a more comfortable cushion even when the infant puts the head on the simulated handle, and can be easily attached with one touch to a commercially available or existing bicycle child seat without cushions Significant practical effects can be achieved, such as the provision of protective cushions.
