[First Embodiment]
1 to 6 show an embodiment of a baby sling according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the baby sling (1) includes an annular main body (10) and a head rest member (20) attached to the annular main body (10).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B), when the annular body (10) is expanded, two connecting rings (12) (12) are formed at one end in the longitudinal direction of the long sheet (11). It becomes an attached long body. The sheet (11) is a composite sheet in which a non-stretchable woven fabric (14) is sewn on both sides of the mesh sheet (13) in the width direction. The mesh-like sheet (13) and the woven fabric (14) are both cut so that the width is maximum at the center in the length direction and gradually decreases at both ends, and both ends are further in the width direction. The elongated body (10) is formed in a spindle shape by being folded. On the other hand, at the edge of the other end portion in the longitudinal direction of the sheet (11), a hard core material (15) for retaining which is longer than the diameter of the ring (12) is sewn.

  The other end of the sheet (11) is passed between the two rings (12) and (12) with the hard core (15) extending in the longitudinal direction, and the sheet (11) is elongated between the rings (12) and (12). By constraining the sheet (11), an annular body (10) is formed (see FIG. 4). The diameter of the annular body (10) can be adjusted steplessly by adjusting the restraining position of the seat (11). Further, once the other end portion is passed through the rings (12) and (12), the hard core material (15) is caught by the rings (12) and (12) even if the restraining position is shifted, thereby preventing the hard core material (15) from coming off.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, a plurality of loops for locking the head rest member (20) along the side edge of the substantially middle portion in the length direction are provided on the outer surface of the sheet (11). (16) (16)... Are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), a safety belt, which will be described later, is locked to the inner surface of the sheet (11) on the edge of the woven fabric (14) (14) on the mesh-like sheet (13) side. Are provided with a plurality of loops (17), (17). These loops (16), (16),... (17), (17),... Are formed by sewing a narrow strip arranged on the side edge to the sheet (11). Also, a plurality of loops (16), (16), (17), (17), etc. are provided when the diameter of the annular body (10) is changed so that the headrest member (20) or the safety belt is in an optimal position. It is for attaching to. In addition, the reason why these loops (16), (16),..., (17), (17),... Are provided on both the left and right sides is to deal with both right-handed and left-handed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the head rest member (20) is obtained by sewing a cushion-type head guard (22) on the head side of the floor plate portion (21) applied to the back from the head of the infant. The laying plate portion (21) is substantially rectangular and is formed of a laminate in which a cushion material and a core material are sandwiched between two exterior cloths. The head guard (22) is sewn so as to stand substantially vertically from the peripheral edge on the head side of the laying plate part (21) and surrounds the temporal region from the top of the infant's head. Further, a locking rod-like body (24) is attached to the center of the side of the head of the floor plate portion (21) via a thin string (23), and on the floor plate portion (21), a buckle (25) is attached. A safety belt (26) that is opened and closed and is wrapped around the torso of the infant is sewn.

Next, a method for using the baby sling (1) will be described.
[Attaching the head rest and holding it sideways]
As shown in FIG. 3, the locking rod-like body (24) of the head rest member (20) is inserted into any one loop (16) of the annular body (10) to prevent the head rest member (20) from coming off. The loop (16) to be inserted is selected according to the user's physique. Thus, the head rest member (20) is mounted at a position in the seat (11) that crosses the seat (11) along the width direction.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the annular body (10) is hung on the shoulder of the user, the infant is laid on the head rest member (20), and the safety belt (26) is wound around the torso of the infant. If necessary, the diameter of the annular body (10) is adjusted by tightening the other end of the sheet (11) (the surplus portion on the tip side of the ring). Since the head rest member (20) is locked to the annular body (10) at one point on the head side, it can be rotated left and right around the locking point. For this reason, the head rest member (20) can be arranged not only at a right angle to the seat (11) but also at an angle with respect to the seat (11), and appropriately adjusted according to the holding posture. Can do. The head rest member (20) does not need to be completely accommodated in the sheet (11), and the head side may slightly protrude from the side edge of the sheet (11).

  The leg tip of the infant may be put in the annular main body (10) or may be taken out. If the sheet (11) covers the back of the infant's knee, stable holding is possible.

[Dako]
The head rest member (20) is removed from the annular body (10). Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the annular main body (10) is hung on the user's shoulder to accommodate the infant. If the seat (11) covers from the back of the infant to the back of the knee, a stable vertical can be achieved, and the arms and leg tips may be placed in the annular body (10) or out. Further, it may be rubbed in front of the user, or may be rubbed aside so as to be seated on the user's hipbone. In addition to the face-to-face example shown in the figure, the infant may be directed forward or piggybacked.

  According to the baby sling (1) of the present embodiment, the neck can be firmly supported from the head of the infant by attaching the head support member (20) to the annular body (10), particularly before the neck is seated. The baby's side-holding will be safe and stable. Further, since a small space is formed between the face and the annular body (10) by the head rest member (20), the seat (11) can be prevented from closing or pressing the face. Moreover, the safety around the head is enhanced by the head guard (22). The annular body (10) suspended like a conventional baby sling (see Fig. 10) that holds the infant parallel to the seat will hold the infant in a direction crossing the seat (11), and the body is excessive. The chest and abdomen can be prevented from being compressed.

Further, the sheet (11) has good air permeability because the central portion in the width direction is formed of the mesh sheet (13). The mesh sheet (13) is flexible, and has an effect of preventing the fall by supporting it so as to fit and wrap around the roundness of the buttocks. On the other hand, by using non-stretch woven fabrics (14) and (14) at both ends of the mesh sheet (13), the strength of the annular body (10) is ensured and the mesh sheet (13) is excessive. Elongation can be prevented and retention stability can be improved.
[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 shows another head rest member (40), and FIG. 8 shows a use state of the head rest member (40). In addition, what attached | subjected the same code | symbol as FIGS. 1-4 in these figures shows the same thing, and overlapped description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The head rest member (40) is attached with a locking rod-like body (43) via a long thin string (42) at the center of the peripheral edge on the head side of the flat-plate-like laying plate part (41). The thin string (42) is passed through two holes formed in the locking bar (43), and the locking bar (43) is slidable on the thin string (42). . Since there is no allowance in the hole diameter of the locking rod-shaped body (43) with respect to the diameter of the thin string (42), the locking rod-shaped body (43) is slidable on the narrow string (42). It can be stopped at any position.

  Hereinafter, a method for patting an infant by wearing the head support member (40) will be described.

  First, the locking rod-like body (43) of the head rest member (40) is inserted into the loop (16) of the annular body (10) to prevent it from coming off, and the floor plate part (41) is the width of the sheet (11). Is installed in a direction that crosses at a right angle. At this time, by appropriately adjusting the position of the locking rod-like body (43), the protruding length of the head rest member (40) from the sheet (11) can be arbitrarily adjusted.

  Then, the infant is accommodated in the annular body (10), and the infant's head is applied to the head rest member (40). Thus, the infant's back head and neck are firmly supported, and the seat can be prevented from excessively pressing the infant's body.

  At this time, the protruding length of the head rest member (40) from the side edge of the seat (11) may be adjusted according to the infant's physique and the holding posture in the annular body (10). Moreover, the mounting angle of the head support member is also freely adjustable and can be appropriately adjusted according to the holding posture.

  The head support member (40) is not exclusively used for octopus but can be used on the side if it is mounted so that the locking rod (43) is slid to the floor plate (41) and fits in the seat (11).

  The baby sling of the present invention is not limited to the two embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made in each part.

  The annular body may be sewn in an annular shape. The connection of the seats of the above embodiment so that the length can be adjusted is advantageous in that it can be adjusted to an appropriate size according to the user's physique and various holding methods, and can be stably held in any case. . Also, the connection method is not limited in any way, and connection by buckle or snap can be exemplified in addition to the ring. Further, the length can be adjusted with a snap or the like after sewing in an annular shape.

  The sheet constituting the annular main body also includes a sheet formed entirely of a mesh-like sheet or a non-stretchable sheet. A mesh sheet is advantageous in terms of air permeability, and a non-stretchable sheet is advantageous in terms of strength and manufacturing cost. Further, the width of the entire sheet and the ratio of the mesh sheet and the non-stretchable sheet in the width direction can be arbitrarily set. Further, a non-stretchable sheet can be used at the center in the width direction, and a mesh sheet can be used at both ends. The mesh sheet in the present invention is a sheet in which a large number of holes having a visible size are formed, and includes what is called a “net”.

  The head support member only needs to have a length that supports at least the head and the neck, and the length of the floorboard portion can be arbitrarily set. The above-mentioned head plate members (21) and (41) of the head rest members (20) and (40) are formed to a length up to the back of the infant, and support the back in addition to the head and neck, The effect of preventing pressure on the abdomen is great. The length of the laying part can be further increased to support the buttocks or the toes. For example, the head rest member (28) shown in FIG. 9 is formed with a length that supports the bottom plate part (29) from the head of the infant to the buttocks or thighs. This improves the holding stability. In particular, side-holding is often performed for infants who do not have a firm body, and the effect of increasing the holding stability by supporting the buttocks is great. Further, as shown in the drawing, it is also preferable to widen the width by projecting the lower portion (29a) of the floor plate portion (29) to the left and right. In many cases, infants often take a posture with their legs open when they are laid down sideways. If the width of the lower part (29a) is widened to support the opened legs, the stability can be further improved. Moreover, if only the lower part (29a) is widened, the size expansion of the head rest member (28) can be minimized. In addition, if it is used only at the time of side-holding, the length of the floorboard part can be further extended to the toes, and the holding stability can be further enhanced. On the other hand, if it is the length up to the buttocks, it can be used for both side holding and this. In addition, it is preferable that the laying plate portion of the head rest member is provided with a core material for firmly supporting the infant's body, particularly the head and neck. The core can be changed in hardness, for example, the part that supports the neck from the head is hardened, and the part that supports the foot is softened from the buttocks.

  Moreover, the mounting means for attaching the head rest member to the annular body is not limited, and examples of other mounting means include a hook-and-loop fastener and a snap. Moreover, when using it for both horizontal holding, you may provide a mounting means in two places suitable for each holding method. For example, the mounting means for holding on the side may be attached to the head side of the floor plate portion, while the mounting means for the lever may be attached to the middle portion in the length direction.

  In the head rest member of the present invention, the presence or absence of the head guard and the safety belt is optional, and those without these are also included in the present invention. If the head guard doesn't get in the way, you can use it for dako too. When using a head support member without a safety belt, as shown in FIG. 6, use another safety belt (18) and pass the safety belt (18) through the loop (17) on the inner surface of the seat (11). You may make it wind around a head rest member and an infant. The safety belt (18) can prevent an infant from falling and improve safety in the same manner as the safety belt (26) of the head rest member (20). Further, the safety belt (18) can be used by being directly wound around the infant's body, and can also be used for a horizontal hug without using a head rest member or a vertical arm shown in FIG. In the figure, (19) is a buckle.

  The mounting position of the loops (17), (17), etc. is not limited as long as it is an inner surface of the seat (11), but it is preferable that the loops (17), (17),. In this embodiment, in order to secure the sewing strength, the mesh sheet (13) is avoided and the woven fabric (14) is attached near the mesh sheet (14). When the entire sheet is composed of a non-stretchable sheet, the sheet may be attached at or near the center in the width direction, and may be attached to a mesh sheet if the required strength is obtained.

  Furthermore, the locking means for locking the safety belt (18) to the seat (11) is not limited at all. Since the loop (17) of the present embodiment is locked through the safety belt (18), the safety belt (18) is not likely to come off, and since it can be made of cloth, it can be recommended because it is soft and safe to touch an infant. .

  The baby sling according to the present invention is used as a holding aid when a baby is safely cared or piggybacked.

In one Embodiment of the baby sling of this invention, the expansion | deployment state of an annular main body is shown, (A) is the figure seen from the inner surface side, (B) is the figure seen from the outer surface side.
