Description

  The present invention relates to a baby carrier used to hold an infant.

The baby carrier can be mounted in various attachment forms depending on the growth of the infant, the physique of the person (guardian) who wears it, or the intended use, and is becoming widespread because of its high convenience. .
For example, the above baby carrier includes a “belt for holding an infant” disclosed in Patent Document 1 below.
The above-mentioned “belt for holding an infant” consists of an outer cloth and an inner cloth doubled to form a ring, which is sewn together at one place, the ring is hung on the shoulder, and a part of the length direction of the infant Is to be used by holding it sideways.

  However, since the above-described “band holding an infant” only supports the infant in a state in which two cloths are overlapped and widened, there is a possibility that the infant cannot be stably held.

  That is, for example, when a guard wearing a “belt holding an infant” is bent forward or when the infant moves, the end portions in the width direction of the flexible outer cloth and inner cloth are rolled. For example, the infant may fall.

  On the other hand, it was not always comfortable for the parents to wear them because they had to hold their infants close to their side.

In addition, FIG.11 (h-1) shows the EE enlarged end view in FIG.11 (h). FIGS. 11 (h-2) and 11 (h-3) are schematic views in which the arcuate cylindrical housing portion 25 in FIG. 11 (h) is developed in a planar shape. Further, FIG. 11 (h-2) is an explanatory view showing a cross section in the thickness direction of a portion of the cylindrical housing portion 25 of the sheet-like member 16. FIG. 11 (h-3) is an explanatory view showing a state in which the rubber string 15 is housed inside the tubular housing part 25 with the tubular housing part 25 partially broken.

  (Step 8) As shown in FIGS. 11 (i-1) and (i-2), the rubber string 15 reaches the both end portions in the length direction of the entrance / exit permissible edge portion 14 inside the cylindrical housing portion 25. It shall be in the state extended to length.

(Step 9) As shown in FIGS. 12 (j-1) and 12 (j-2), the lengthwise ends of the entrance / exit permissible edge portion 14 are divided into a cylindrical housing portion 25 and the cylindrical housing portion. 25 is in a state of being folded together with the rubber cord 15 accommodated therein. This folded portion (tack) is sewn and fixed together. As a result, the overlapped sewing fixing portions 27 are formed at both end portions in the length direction of the cylindrical housing portion 25.
(Step 10) As shown in FIGS. 12 (k-1) and 12 (k-2), the rubber cord 15 is connected to the cylindrical housing portion 25 and the entrance / exit allowance edge in the middle of the length direction of the rubber cord 15. A sewing fixing portion 28 is formed to be fixed to the portion 14 by sewing. The sewing fixing portion 28 is formed in two midway portions that divide the length (L) of the rubber string 15 in the length direction into three equal parts (L / 3).

  Through the steps (1) to (10), a baby carrier 11 as shown in FIG. 13 (l) can be formed. At this time, as for the baby carrier 11, as shown in FIG. 13 (l-1), the partially expanded view in FIG. 13 (l-1), and FIG. It can be formed in a contracted state.

  Using the baby carrier 11 described above, the guardian is not limited to the above-described “cradle hug”, but as shown in FIG. An infant can also be held by a way of holding called “face-to-face holding” (not shown) that faces the guardian.

  In these “forward holding” and “face-to-face holding”, as in the case of the “cradle holding” described above, it is possible to wrap almost the entire baby inside the enveloping portion 12, while By using the urging force of the provided rubber cord 15, the baby can be held so as not to fall out from the inside of the enveloping portion 12.

Further, in any of the “cradle holding”, “forward holding”, and “face-to-face holding” methods, the baby can be taken in and out of the enveloping portion 12 by substantially the same procedure.
In the following, the case of “holding forward” shown in FIG. 14 is taken as an example, and the procedure for putting the baby in and out of the enveloping part 12 will be described with reference to FIG. 15.
First, when putting the baby inside the enveloping part 12, the guardian holds only the vicinity of the outer entrance / exit allowance edge part 14o with one hand while the baby carrier 11 is hooked. In this state, the vicinity of the outer allowance edge 14o is separated from the inner allowance edge 14i by pulling outward near the urging force of the rubber cord 15 provided on the outer allowance edge 14o. Thereby, the entrance / exit allowance portion 14A between the outer entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14o and the inner entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14i can be opened.

When the guardian holds the infant with the other arm and puts it into the encapsulated part 12 through the access allowance part 14A, the infant can be accommodated inside the encapsulated part 12 as shown in FIG.
Further, the guardian releases the outer entrance / exit allowance edge 14o while gradually relaxing the pulling force to the outside of the outer entry / exit allowance edge 14o. Thereby, the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14 is contracted by the urging force of the rubber cord 15, and as shown in FIG. 16, the baby can be wrapped by the enveloping portion 12 and can be held by the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14. .

  Furthermore, when the baby is taken out from the inside of the enveloping portion 12, only the outer entrance / exit marginal edge 14o is attached to the rubber cord 15 with one hand as in the case where the infant is put into the enveloping portion 12. Pulling outward against the urging force, allowing the opening / closing portion 14A to be opened, and pulling out from the inside of the enveloping portion 12 while holding the infant with the other arm (not shown).

  In addition to the above-described method of holding the baby carrier, the guardian can also hold the baby by a method of holding called “face-to-face holding” as shown in FIG.

  In the case of the “face-to-face vertical hug”, the enveloping portion 12 is not interposed between the guardian and the infant, and the inner cloth 16i of the enveloping portion 12 is not interposed between the guard and the infant, as described above. From the side, the outer cloth 16o and the inner cloth 16i are wrapped in a superposed form.

  In this state, the encapsulating part 12 can support the infant by curving the lower part of the encapsulating part 12 according to the weight of the infant by the weight when the infant is placed. At the same time, the rubber cords 15, 15 provided on both the outer entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14o and the inner entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14i are urged in the contraction direction, whereby the infant can be firmly held from the back side.

Therefore, even when the baby carrier 11 is “face-to-face vertical holding”, for example, the guardian removes the hand attached to the enveloping portion 12 or the baby moves to the back side in the same manner as the other holding methods described above. Even when the body weight is applied, the baby inside the enveloping portion 12 can be held without falling off the entrance / exit allowing portion 14A.
In the case of “face-to-face vertical holding”, the entrance / exit allowance part 14 </ b> A for putting the baby in / out of the enveloping part 12 corresponds to an opening portion formed between the front body of the guardian and the entry / exit allowance edge 14.

  In the case of “face-to-face vertical holding”, as shown in FIG. 18, the guardian removes both the vicinity of the inner entrance / exit edge 14 i and the vicinity of the outer entrance / exit edge 14 o. It can be carried out by opening the access allowance portion 14A by gripping in a superposed state and pulling outward against the urging force of the rubber cord 15 provided on the access allowance edge portion 14.

Hereinafter, the effect | action and effect which the baby carrier 11 mentioned above show | plays are demonstrated.
As described above, when the baby carrier 11 is used, the guardian can hold the infant by various ways of holding, and even if the baby carrier 11 is held by any of the above-described ways of holding the baby, It is possible to ensure the comfort of both the infant and the guardian and the safety of the infant.

  Specifically, the encapsulated portion 12 is formed in a bag shape by the outer cloth 16o, the inner cloth 16i, and the folded portion, and is formed to have a size capable of wrapping an infant. Such an enveloping portion 12 can comfortably enclose the infant even if the encapsulating portion 12 is formed of a fabric having low stretchability (see FIG. 15).

  Further, as described above, the baby carrier 11 is provided with the rubber strap 15 that is an elastic body at the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14 not only in a natural length state but also in a state of being biased in a contracting direction. For this reason, the urging | biasing force provided to this rubber cord 15 can always be made to act as holding | maintenance force holding an infant.

  Furthermore, the elastic length of the elastic cord 15 changes depending on, for example, how to hold the baby, the physique, and the posture and movement of the baby inside the enveloping portion 12, and the change in the elastic length. Since the urging force also changes in response to this, the baby inside the enveloping portion 12 can be held with an appropriate holding force.

  In particular, in the case of “cradle holding”, the baby's back is in a posture in which the back of the infant leans against the outer cloth 16o of the envelope 12 (see FIG. 1). Even in such a posture, the urging force of the rubber cord 15 can keep the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14 in a state of being squeezed so that the entrance / exit allowance portion 14A does not open unexpectedly. It can be firmly held so as not to fall out of the portion 14A.

  The urging force F (holding force F) (F in (l-2) in FIG. 13) in the contracting direction of the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14 by the rubber cord 15 causes the rubber cord 15 to be placed in the entrance / exit allowance edge in advance. By forming the natural length of the portion 14 shorter than the length of the arrangement portion and fixing the portion 14 to the length of the arrangement portion, the portion 14 can be obtained easily and with a simple configuration.

Furthermore, the baby carrier 11 is provided with the rubber string 15 on the entrance / exit allowance edge 14 as described above, so that, for example, the entrance / exit allowance portion 14 </ b> A using a fixing means such as a belt or a plurality of buckles arranged on the entry / exit allowance edge 14. Unlike the structure which fixes the magnitude | size of this so that adjustment is possible, the entrance / exit tolerance edge part 14 does not become bulky.
In addition, by accommodating the rubber string 15 in the cylindrical accommodating part 25, the rubber string 15 does not get in the way when an infant is taken in and out, and the appearance of the entrance / exit allowance edge part 14 can be kept good.

Furthermore, according to the above configuration, when the baby is taken in and out from the inside of the enveloping part 12, it is not necessary to attach / detach the fixing means such as a belt or a buckle for keeping the entrance / exit permission edge part 14 in a contracted state.
That is, the baby carrier 11 adjusts the size of the access allowance portion 14A by extending the access allowance edge portion 14, that is, the rubber string 15, easily and safely with one hand while the guardian is hooked. Can be done.

In addition, with the above configuration, even when the cloth itself of the entry / exit allowance edge portion 14 of the sheet-like member 16 does not have elasticity, it is possible to apply a biasing force in the contraction direction to the entry / exit allowance edge portion 14.
For this reason, it becomes possible to form the whole sheet-like member 16 including the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14 with one piece of cloth that is a low stretch material, and as a result, the baby carrier 11 can be easily manufactured. .

  Further, the overlapped sewing fixing portion 27 is formed by overlapping the rubber string 15 and the cylindrical housing portion 25 at both ends of the entrance / exit allowable edge portion 14 and sewing and fixing them.

With the above configuration, both ends in the length direction of the rubber string 15 can be firmly attached to the entry / exit permission edge 14 and the cylindrical housing part 25, and both ends of the entry / exit permission edge 14 can be attached. The insertion port 26 in the portion can be sealed (refer to a partially enlarged view in FIG. 12 (j-1)).

Further, since the sewing fixing portion 28 is formed by sewing and fixing the middle portion of the rubber strap 15 to the entrance / exit allowance edge portion 14, even when the baby is actively operated, the cylindrical housing portion 25 is provided. It is possible to prevent the rubber string 15 from being twisted in the inside.
Furthermore, since the middle portion of the rubber cord 15 can be positioned and fixed in the length direction of the entrance / exit allowable edge portion 14, the rubber cord 15 is a part of the cylindrical housing portion 25 and the entrance / exit allowable edge portion 14 in the length direction. Can be prevented from being biased.

Furthermore, the sewing fixing portion 28 is fixed by sewing to two midway portions that are equally distributed in the length direction of the rubber cord 15. Thus, by forming the sewing fixing portions 28 at equal intervals in the length direction of the rubber cord 15 and in an appropriate number, the elasticity of the rubber cord 15 is secured and the entrance / exit allowable edge portion 14 is secured. The infant can be held firmly by contracting the entire length direction evenly.
In addition, the baby carrier 11 can exhibit various functions and effects.
For example, the entire baby carrier 11 is formed in an annular shape by the sheet-like member 16 so that a guardian can hook it. For this reason, for example, a separate member such as a connecting member for connecting and hooking in a ring shape is not required like a conventional baby carrier formed in a strip shape long in one direction. Therefore, the baby carrier 11 can be easily hooked without the need to connect the connecting members.
Furthermore, since the baby carrier 11 is formed of a member such as a sheet-like member 16 and a rubber string 15, and is flexible as a whole, it can be folded when not in use, and is not bulky even when folded, and can be stored compactly. it can. Furthermore, the baby carrier 11 can also be washed.

The baby carrier 11 of the present invention is not limited to the baby carrier 11 of the above-described embodiment, and many other embodiments can be obtained.
For example, at least one of the outer cloth 16o and the inner cloth 16i is formed of a material having further air permeability, such as a mesh fabric, or a brushed cloth, or a woven fabric. May be formed.

Further, in the correspondence between the above-described embodiment and the configuration of the present invention, the guardian of this embodiment corresponds to the person wearing the present invention, and similarly,
Infants respond to infants,
The rubber string 15 corresponds to an elastic linear body ,
The sewing fixing portion 28 corresponds to a midway portion in the length direction of the entrance / exit allowance edge portion .
