Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention enables the newborn to be handled safely and reliably when bathing the newborn, and also allows for skin-to-skin contact with the newborn. Regarding bathing equipment for newborn babies.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when bathing a newborn baby under one year old, the baby is washed with gauze or the like while being held so as not to drop the baby, but when washing the baby's body,
It was dangerous if performed by an inexperienced person. In particular, published data shows that when a newborn drowns, there is a high probability that some after-effects will occur even if the baby survives.

Therefore, as described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 48-28936, a chair-type holder that engages and supports the apron of the bathtub is prepared, and as described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 56-44471, a net is placed in the bathtub. Some are hung over the other, or laid down on a bed installed in the bathtub, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-36158.

However, chair-type devices require a certain degree of physical development and are difficult to use for newborns. Net type bathtubs are not enough to submerge your entire body in, as they only allow you to immerse yourself in the upper layer of hot water in a bathtub. In-tub type bathtubs not only have the same drawbacks as net-type bathtubs, but also make it troublesome to wash your back while lying down.

Furthermore, there is a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 15740/1983 in which a newborn baby is bathed while being held in the baby's arms. This includes a body strap made of net material, and an infant is accommodated within the body. However, according to this method, the infant's head is not particularly fixed, so it is not suitable for use with infants whose neck muscles are not sufficiently developed. Not only that, but if it is stored in the body of the baby carrier, the body of the baby's body will get in the way of washing the infant's back, making it troublesome.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Therefore, in this invention, in order to be most suitable for bathing newborns whose body parts are not fully developed, we maintain skinship with the newborn and hold the newborn in an extremely ideal way. The goal is to make it possible to do it in a safe manner.

In other words, even newborn infants whose bodies are not fully developed can be easily bathed, with their heads firmly supported above the water, their bodies submerged fully in the water, and their bodies thoroughly bathed. The goal is to ensure that each part of the body can be washed by guardians and caregivers.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in this invention, the upper support belts arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part are connected by belt fixing parts at the front and rear respectively. From this front and rear belt fixing part, the lower support belts located below the upper support belt and arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part are connected, and the lower support belt and the upper support belt are connected by a plurality of side belts. A plurality of bottom belts are connected in parallel between the lower support belts with coarse intervals, and each of the bottom belts is connected by a bottom center support belt connected to the belt fixing part, and further,
At least one of the belt fixing parts is provided with a head support net for positioning and supporting the newborn baby's head, and the belt fixing parts are connected to each other by a shoulder belt.

(Function) In the bathtub for a newborn baby according to this invention, the newborn baby can be accommodated in a state where it is hung around the neck or shoulder of a caregiver, and the baby can take a bath together with the newborn baby.

At this time, the newborn baby's head is raised higher than the baby's legs, and the caregiver can wash the newborn baby's body using the intervals between the belts.

Each belt is arranged in a lattice pattern with coarse intervals.
Since the housed newborn baby can grasp these, it does not create a sense of fear, and the newborn baby's body movement is not restricted by sticking out their limbs from between the belts.

Further, the newborn baby's head can be firmly supported without movement by the head support net that accommodates the head, and the newborn baby's head can also be washed from outside the head support net.

After washing, you can get out of the bathtub and perform the prescribed care.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a newborn baby bathing device having a size suitable for bathing a newborn baby in this invention.

This newborn baby bathing device 1 has upper support belts 2 arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part connected by belt fixing parts 3 at the front and rear, respectively. The lower support belts 4 arranged on the left and right are connected, and this lower support belt 4
A plurality of side belts 5 are connected between the upper support belt 2 and the upper support belt 2.
Connect at. A plurality of bottom belts 6 are connected in parallel between the lower support belts 4 with coarse intervals, and each of the bottom belts 6 is connected to the belt fixing portion 3.
The bottom center support belt 7 is connected to the bottom central support belt 7.
Further, at least one of the belt fixing parts 3 is provided with a head support net 8 for positioning and supporting the newborn baby's head. The belt fixing parts 3 are connected to each other by a shoulder belt 9.

Although the upper support belt 2 and the side belt 5 are connected via the connection ring 10 in the illustration, this connection structure is not limited to this.
It is also possible to use suitable fixing means.

Further, each of the belts 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 may have a flat, round, or other cross-sectional shape, and the cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited. It is desirable that this is done. Furthermore, although it is preferable that the material is waterproof, it is not necessarily required that the material be waterproof, but it should be made to have a soft feel to the newborn baby since the newborn will come into direct contact with it. It is good to keep it.

In particular, the spacing between the bottom belts 6 is such that the newborn baby accommodated in the newborn baby bathing device 1 itself can be firmly held and will not fall out from the gap. Further, the intervals are not set precisely, but are set to such an extent that it does not cause any inconvenience for a caregiver to insert his or her fingers through the interval between the bottom belts 6 when washing the newborn baby's body.

The head support net 8 can comfortably accommodate the head of a newborn baby, especially when the jaw muscle strength is insufficiently developed.
Even if a newborn baby is unable to sit upright, it can be supported without shaking. This head support net 8 may be provided on both the front and rear belt fixing parts 3. If this is done, the newborn can be accommodated on either the left or right side of the newborn bathing device 1 depending on the working posture of the caregiver. This can improve the efficiency of bathing work.

Furthermore, the newborn baby housed in the newborn bathing device 1,
To prevent it from moving within the newborn bathtub 1,
For example, a support band 11 is attached to fix the leg portion, waist portion, and crotch portion.

The shoulder belt 9 extends from the left and right belt fixing portions 3 to the sides, and is formed into a loop shape, as shown in FIG. It is designed so that it can be hung on any part. Shoulder belt 9 is used to prevent excessive strain on the neck and shoulders when worn by a caregiver.
itself is formed wide.

The shoulder belt 9 shown in the figure has a connector 12.
They are formed so that they can be separated and connected at will, and can be separated into the left and right sides using a one-touch connecting device. Then, for example,
As shown in FIG. 4, this invented newborn bather 1 itself can be used in combination with a bathtub body 20 and a column 3 to which a lifting means 21 is attached, and can be raised and lowered appropriately. It is also possible to bathe a newborn baby without having to take a bath.

That is, the newborn baby bathing device 1 of this invention is placed between the pillars 22 that are vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the bathtub body 20.
The elevating means 21 is attached to a support column 22, which extends through a shoulder belt 9 that is separated into left and right parts.
This allows the front and rear of the newborn bathing device 1 to be raised and lowered separately.

This device is constructed as described above, and when used, as shown in FIG. Then take a bath.

At this time, the newborn's head in the newborn bather 1 is made to be higher than its legs, and the attendant should hold each belt 2 of the newborn bather 1,
You can wash your newborn baby using intervals 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Further, the newborn baby's head can be washed from outside the head support net 8 that accommodates the head.

After washing, you can get out of the bathtub and perform the prescribed care.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, this invention has the upper support belts 2 disposed on the left and right sides of the upper part, and the belt fixing parts 3 at the front and rear, respectively.
From the front and rear belt fixing parts 3, the lower support belts 4 located below the upper support belt 2 and arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part are connected, and between the lower support belt 4 and the upper support belt 2. are connected by a plurality of side belts 5, and between the lower support belts 4,
A plurality of bottom belts 6 are connected in parallel with coarse intervals, and each of the bottom belts 6 is connected to the belt fixing portion 3.
The bottom central support belt 7 connects to
A head support net 8 for positioning and supporting the newborn baby's head is provided on the side, and the belt fixing parts 3 are connected to each other by a shoulder belt 9. Even a newborn baby who is difficult to handle due to lack of sufficient body weight can be held securely and easily bathed with a caregiver.

For example, even if a temporary limb disability occurs after childbirth, it is extremely simple to simply place the newborn in the newborn bathing device 1 and take a bath together with the newborn.

Moreover, even when washing a newborn baby housed in the newborn bathing device 1, the newborn bathing device 1 itself is formed by combining belts 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 with coarse intervals in a lattice shape. The newborn baby bathtub 1 does not fall from itself and is safe. In addition, the grid pattern with coarse intervals allows the entire body to be washed evenly, and by keeping the newborn's body clean, it is possible to prevent eczema, sweat rash, and other skin disorders specific to newborns.

In addition, since the newborn baby accommodated in the newborn bathing device 1 can grasp each of the belts 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the newborn baby does not have a sense of fear and can grasp each of the belts 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 7. Since they can put their arms and legs out from between each other, their body movements are not restricted.

The shoulder belt 9 connects the respective belt fixing parts 3 on the left and right sides of the newborn bathing device 1 itself, so it can be easily hung on the neck and shoulders of the caregiver, and it can be easily hung on the caregiver's neck and shoulders. Now, the caregiver's hands are free and they can fully care for the newborn.

As explained above, this invention is most suitable for bathing newborns whose body parts are not fully developed, and by bathing with an attendant, it is extremely ideal for holding newborns while promoting skinship. Even newborns whose bodies are not fully developed can be easily bathed.
This has extremely excellent practical effects, such as allowing the body to be fully submerged in the hot water with the head above the water, ensuring a sufficient bath and washing of each part of the body by the protector/attendant.
