Description

  The present invention relates to a baby carrier used to hold an infant, and more specifically, it is composed of a wide and endless band, etc., and supports the infant so as to wrap it from the bottom and hangs it from the back to the shoulder. The present invention relates to a so-called sling carry baby carrier.

Traditionally, some baby carriers used to hold infants are worn by tying a wide banded fabric endlessly, hanging from the back to the shoulder, and wrapping the child in front of the parent. Some forms are used. These are called sling carry, and the number of users is gradually increasing for reasons such as being relatively easy to deform and easy to use, and for both children and parents not getting tired.
The sling carry described above can cope with various postures such as a posture in which a sleeping infant is wrapped and held from below, a forward bending, and a posture in which a child is seated and facing a parent. In addition, because the woven fabric is deformed to some extent with changes in posture, the child's weight is easy, and the weight of the child is added to a large area from the parent's back to the shoulder, so the burden on the shoulder is less tired, etc. There are advantages.

By the way, a sling carry type baby carrier as described above wraps an infant in a carrier body made of a wide banded cloth, and a state in which a parent sleeps from the back to the shoulder, or in which milk is given. . Or a state where an infant is seated on the carrier body and the upper body is raised to face the parent. Furthermore, there are many uses in which a baby carrier laid in a carrier body is transferred from a posture held with a baby carrier to various postures, for example, when the baby is laid in a crib.
At the time of such a transition, the sling carry type baby carrier is supported by the carrier body because the carrier body part that supports the child and the abdomen of the parent can be easily opened as the carrier body swings. There is a moment when an infant becomes unstable. In such a case, it is necessary to support with the parent's hand firmly, but there is a possibility that the child may fall off the carrier body by mistake.
In addition, the conventional sling carry type baby carrier allows a child to sit on the carrier body, raises its upper body and faces the parent, and the infant's feet jump out from one side of the carrier body to the parent's body. In this state, the child's foot is relatively strongly pressed against the child's foot in this state. This can put a strain on your feet and make your child feel uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to make use of the advantages of the conventional sling carry baby carrier, and the carrier body shake that is likely to occur due to posture change during use. Is to rationally prevent and enhance its safety.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following technical means.
The baby carrier of the first device has a carrier body that wraps an infant, extends a shoulder band from one end of the carrier body, and adjusts the length between the front end of the shoulder band and the other end of the carrier body by a locking body. The waist belt is attached to the carrier body, the waist belt is wound around the waist of the user, and the length is adjustable and detachable.
The carrier body described above has a sufficient width to wrap an infant, and a shoulder band extending from one end of the carrier body is connected to the other end of the carrier body via a locking body, and the length is adjusted by the locking body. . The locking body may be composed of, for example, two rings, or may be a locking structure composed of a synthetic resin or the like.
In addition, as long as the waist belt attached to the carrier body can be wound around the waist of the user, any belt having an existing structure may be used. It may be detachable by a locking tool, a hook or the like, or may be tied like a strap.

In the second device, in order to effectively prevent the carrier body from swinging, the attachment portion of the waist belt is set substantially at the center of the carrier body.
In the third device, the attachment portion of the waist belt is provided separately on one end side and the other end side of the carrier body. The distance between one end and the other end of the waist belt takes into account the positional relationship between the child's feet and the belt, and the distance between the belt attachment portions is set so that the child's feet are not compressed by the belt during use. It is characterized by that.
In the fourth device, a cushion material is provided along one side edge and the other side edge of the carrier body in consideration of avoidance of pressure on the child. The cushion material can be exemplified by a method of decorating a cushion material having appropriate elasticity along the edge of the carrier body or a method of attaching the cushion material itself along the edge of the carrier body.

According to the baby carrier of the present invention, the following excellent actions and effects can be expected.
The baby carrier of the first device comprises a carrier body that wraps an infant, and a waist belt is attached to the carrier body, and the waist belt is wound around the waist of the user to adjust the length and to be detachable. is there. This ensures that the carrier body that wraps the infant is securely held by the waist belt that is wrapped around the user's waist even when the carrier body shakes greatly with changes in posture during use. It is possible to prevent the gap from being greatly opened. As a result, it solves the problem that the posture of the infant held in the carrier body is greatly displaced or falls between the carrier body and the user, while taking advantage of the sling carry baby carrier while in use Safety can be ensured

  Since the baby carrier of the second device has the waist belt attached at the center of the carrier body, even if the carrier body that wraps the child greatly swings due to a change in posture, It can be securely held at the center of the user's abdomen and is more safe.

  In the baby carrier of the third device, the attaching portion of the waist belt is provided separately on one end side and the other end side of the carrier body. Therefore, the carrier body can be held by the waist belt as described above, and when the child is seated on the carrier body and the upper body is raised to face the parent, the child's feet should be spaced at an appropriate interval. It becomes a form that hangs down between the two waist belts separated from each other, and the trouble that the child's feet hit the waist belt and get in the way can be solved.

The baby carrier of the 4th device is provided with a cushion material along one side edge and the other side edge of the carrier body. As a result, the tactile sensation on both sides of the carrier body touched by the infant becomes soft, and even if it comes into pressure contact with the child's limb, it will be softened and the edge of the carrier body will be The feeling of pressure on the child can be reduced.
Moreover, there is an advantage that the wearing feeling is improved for the user and the burden during use is reduced.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the baby carrier of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows a baby carrier A embodying the present invention. A wide shoulder band 2 is extended from one end of a carrier body 1 that wraps an infant, and attached to the tip of the shoulder band 2 and the other end of the carrier body 1. Further, it is tightened through a locking tool 3 composed of two rings, and is connected so as to be adjustable in length. In this state, the baby carrier A is wide and endless, that is, in the form of a sling carry.
The carrier body 1 has a width and a length sufficient to wrap an infant, is formed in a substantially elliptical shape, and is sewn so as to be folded in two from the center. The carrier body 1 is formed by sewing a strong synthetic fiber cloth, cotton cloth, or the like, and a comfortable mesh fabric is arranged on the inner surface side to enhance the feeling of use. Further, a cushion material such as a sponge is housed and sewn along the one side edge 1a and the other side edge 1b of the carrier body 1. As a result, both side edges 1a and 1b of the carrier body 1 are swollen, and the feeling of pressure when pressed against an infant or a user is relieved, and at the same time, the edge of the carrier body 1 is reinforced. The infant is supported in the state of sleeping in the carrier body 1 described above, or in the state of sitting up with the upper body up.

The shoulder band 2 extending from one end portion of the carrier body 1 has the widest central portion, and has a sufficient width so as to come into wide contact from the user's back to the shoulder.
Further, along the one side edge 2a and the other side edge 2b of the shoulder band 2, a cushioning material such as sponge is housed and sewn in the same manner as the side edges 1a and 1b of the carrier body 1. Thereby, the burden added to a user's shoulder and a feeling of pressure can be reduced, and also shoulder belt 2 both edges can be reinforced.
The front end of the shoulder band 2 configured as described above is inserted into the two rings of the locking body 3 attached to the other end of the carrier body 1 and folded back, and tightened to an appropriate length suitable for the user. The above-described locking body 3 is generally a combination of two rings having sufficient strength. However, the locking body used for this is an existing one that can adjust the length of the shoulder band. Any thing may be used.
Further, in this embodiment, a stopper 2d made of a synthetic resin plate having appropriate elasticity and shape retention is provided along the edge of the front end portion 2c of the shoulder strap 2, and the ring of the locking body 3 is used during use. This prevents the front end 2c of the shoulder band 2 from coming off. The material and shape of the stopper 2d described above may be changed as appropriate.

The base end portions of the waist belts 4 a and 4 b are fixed to the center portion on the lower surface side of the carrier body 1. The waist belts 4a and 4b are wound around the user's waist to hold the carrier body 1 in front of the user's abdomen, and detachable latches 5a and 5b are attached to the respective front ends. It is attached. The waist belt is made of a belt-like cloth having strength, and its base end portion is sewn to the center portion on the lower surface side of the carrier body 1 with a slight gap. The hooks 5a and 5b attached to the front end sides of the both waist belts 4a and 4b are similar to the hooks used when attaching and detaching the back belt, but those having sufficient strength are used. In addition, the end portions of both belts are inserted into the hooks 5a and 5b and folded back so as to be movable. As a result, the waist belts 4a and 4b are wound and mounted around the user's waist with appropriate tightening, and can be easily opened by removing the latches of the latches 5a and 5b.
The above-described waist belts 4a and 4b are composed of two belts and hooks 5a and 5b. However, the waist belt can be wound around the user's waist and tightened appropriately. Good. For example, the waist belt may be composed of a simple band, which may be tied and tightened behind the user.

2 and 3 show a state in which the user wears the baby carrier A configured as described above and holds an infant.
The user wears an endless baby carrier A from the head and hangs the shoulder band 2 on one shoulder (right shoulder in the drawing). Then, the waist belts 4a and 4b are wound around the waist, and the hooks 5a and 5b are connected in the back (FIG. 3). In this state, the shoulder band 2 is hung from the user's shoulder to the back, and the carrier body 1 is held in front of the user. After wearing the baby carrier A in this manner, the user moves the infant while holding it in the carrier body 1 and lays it in the carrier body 1 or sits with the upper body up as shown in the figure. Support in a face-to-face posture (FIG. 2).
As described above, when the baby carrier A is used to hold the infant, the waist belts 4a and 4b can reliably hold the carrier body 1 in front of the user's abdomen. Therefore, even if the carrier body 1 suspended from the shoulder sways together with the child due to the change in posture, the gap between the user and the carrier body 1 does not open. In addition, since the infant wrapped in the carrier body 1 can be stably supported, even if the user moves greatly, the infant may be greatly out of posture in the carrier body 1 or used with the carrier body 1. It is possible to avoid the problem of slipping down from between the person's abdomen.
Also, when the user leans forward and moves the infant onto the bed, the carrier body 1 is stabilized by the holding force of the waist belt 4a4b, so that the infant can be moved safely.

4 to 6 show a baby carrier A2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the baby carrier A2 of this embodiment, the carrier body 1 and the shoulder band 2 locking body 3 are configured in the same manner as the baby carrier A described above. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the carrier body 1 is completely folded in half. As shown in this figure, the baby carrier A2 is characterized in that the attachment positions of the waist belts 4a and 4b are spaced apart at positions closer to both ends of the carrier body 1. The both waist belts 4a and 4b are sewn near both ends of the center portion of the carrier body 1 via the reinforcing piece 4c. Also, hooks 5a and 5b are attached to the front end portions of both waist belts 4a and 4b, and are configured to be wound around the user's waist and detachable at the back in the same manner as described above. (FIG. 6).
In the baby carrier A2 configured as described above, the waist belts 4a and 4b are attached to the both ends of the carrier body 1, so that the waist belts 4a and 4b are raised to the vicinity of the user's waste in the mounted state. (Figure 5). Therefore, even if an infant is seated in the carrier body 1 and hugged while the upper body is raised, the legs hanging from one side of the carrier body 1 do not hang on the waist belts 4a and 4b, and the usability is very good.

In addition, the attachment position of the above-described waist belts 4a and 4b can be changed as appropriate within a range not hanging on the child's foot. Moreover, you may change the width | variety and form of a waist belt. For example, the waist belt may be configured to be tightened and tied appropriately in the back of the user as a somewhat longer band.
Further, the shape of the carrier main body 1 and the shoulder band may be changed as long as the function of the present invention is not hindered, and it is also considered that the material and the reinforcing means are arbitrarily changed. In particular, since the shoulder belt adds to the weight of the infant, the wider one should reduce the burden on the user. Therefore, as shown in the figure, it is preferable that the center portion of the shoulder band is formed so as to cover the shoulder from the vicinity of the neck to the vicinity of the base of the arm.
Furthermore, the cushioning material provided along the side edges 1a and 1b of the carrier body 1 in the above embodiment is provided along the outside of the edge so as to cover the cushioning material in addition to the interior of the body side edge. You can also. Moreover, you may provide the same cushion material partially or entirely of the shoulder band which contact | abuts a user's body.
