Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention can be carried on the back (onbu) and carried in the front (hug).
A babysitter that can be used for both purposes, especially an auxiliary belt that adjusts the sitting height of the infant inside the babysitter body, making it possible to maintain the infant housed inside the baby carrier at the optimal height. This invention relates to a baby carrier with a sitting height adjustment function.

[Background of prior art and invention]

Conventionally manufactured baby carriers are made by stretching a shoulder strap of a predetermined length from the upper end of the baby carrier main body, which has a trapezoidal front shape, toward both sides, and then attaching the stretched shoulder strap to the user, the mother. After placing it on the baby carrier's shoulders, it is crossed at the front chest, and then its tip is inserted into the insertion ring attached to the tip of the waist belt that extends from the lower end of the baby carrier body to both sides, and both ends are tied together. I was using it like this.

Baby carriers with the above structure are used exclusively for the purpose of carrying infants on their backs, and there is no need for them to be used for the purpose of holding infants, so there is no particular problem with conventional usage. However, in recent years, the structure of baby carriers has been significantly improved, and it has been proposed that a single baby carrier can be used for both carrying (piggyback) and holding (carrying). Problems like this are being caused. In other words, whether the baby carrier with the new structure is used on the back or in the arms, the shoulder strap extends from the upper end of the baby carrier body to both sides, as if carrying a school bag. The straps are attached to the shoulders of the mother, etc., but in this case, there is no appropriate structure to maintain the distance between the two shoulder straps that are hung parallel to both shoulders. Therefore, if the infant moves violently or the mother carrying the infant on her back makes active movements, there is a risk that the shoulder belt may slip off the mother's shoulders in both directions, and as a result, the infant stored in the baby carrier body may The drawback was that the body could easily become unstable.

In general, conventional baby carriers have a wide age range (applicable age) for infants who can use them, so the size of the baby carrier is designed to match the body shape of an average infant.

For this reason, when used by young infants (infants) or infants who have reached the appropriate age but are small in size, the infant's entire body, including the head, sinks into the inside of the baby carrier. (the infant's head did not come out from inside the baby carrier body), and it was not possible to provide the infant with a comfortable feeling of use.

Furthermore, even when using the same baby carrier, the height of the infant's head held within the baby carrier varies depending on whether it is used as a back carrier or a cradle. Depending on the usage, the baby's head may sink into the interior of the baby carrier body.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention attempts to address these problems, and includes a buckle or other attachment at the tip near the base end of the two shoulder straps extending from both sides of the upper end of the baby carrier body. Attach the proximal ends of the spacing adjustment belts with the stoppers attached to them, and engage the fasteners attached to the tips of the two spacing adjustment belts to mutually connect the two shoulder straps. It is an object of the present invention to provide a baby carrier having a seating height adjustment function that allows the interval to be freely adjusted.

Another object of the present invention is to attach an auxiliary belt for adjusting the sitting height of the infant so as to pass between the inside of the baby carrier main body and the belt for adjusting the distance;
Attachment belt formed at the tip of the auxiliary band,
The length of the attachment belt can be freely adjusted by inserting and locking it into a locking device such as a buckle attached to the tip of the interval adjustment belt, and by adjusting the length of the attachment belt, the auxiliary belt inside the baby carrier body To provide a baby carrier having a sitting height adjustment function, which allows the height of the baby carrier to be freely adjusted so that an infant housed inside the baby carrier can be accommodated while always maintaining an optimum sitting height.

[Key points of the invention] In this invention, shoulder straps are extended from the upper end of the main body of the baby carrier, which has a trapezoidal front shape, to both sides, and the tips of the two stretched shoulder straps are connected to the main body of the baby carrier. In a baby carrier configured to be secured to the distal ends of waist belts extending from the lower end to both sides, or to other appropriate locations on the waist belt, the belt may be attached slightly from the base ends of the two shoulder straps. Attach the proximal ends of mounting belts that also serve as spacing adjustment bands, each with a buckle or other locking device attached to the tip, to separate parts, and attach the attachment belts that are attached to the tips of the mounting belts that also serve as spacing adjustment bands. By locking the fasteners to each other, the distance between the two shoulder straps can be freely adjusted. An auxiliary belt for adjusting the sitting height of the seat is attached so as to extend across the seat, and a mounting belt formed at the tip of the auxiliary belt is attached to a locking tool attached to the tip of the belt for adjusting the distance so that the length can be adjusted freely. The height of the auxiliary belt can be freely adjusted by inserting and locking the belt into the baby carrier and adjusting the length of this attachment belt, so that the infant stored inside the baby carrier always maintains the optimal sitting height. The key point of the invention is a baby carrier with a seat height adjustment function that allows the baby to be accommodated while sitting.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a baby carrier main body, which is formed to have a substantially trapezoidal front shape, and has shoulder straps 2, 2 extending from its upper end to both sides.

The shape of the baby carrier main body 1 is not limited to a trapezoid, and can be freely selected from a vertically long rectangular shape.

Reference numerals 3 and 3 indicate waist belts extending from the lower end of the baby carrier main body 1 toward both sides, and fasteners 4 and 4' that can be attached and detached with one touch are attached to the tips of the belts.

The locking tools 4, 4' are configured to have a so-called buckle mechanism, and one of the locking tools 4, 4'
A locking pawl (not shown) is formed at the tip of the locking member 4', and a fitting portion is formed on the other locking member 4' to grip the fitted locking pawl.

In addition, since the structure of the above-mentioned locking tool is well-known, illustration of its details will be omitted.

Reference numerals 41 and 41' designate locking rings that are integrally formed at the upper portions of the locking devices 4 and 4', and are formed in an oblong circular shape.

These locking rings 41, 41' are used to insert the tips of the shoulder straps 2, 2 and then fold them back when the baby carrier is used as a carrier. It is inserted into and locked into an adjustment fitting 5 attached to the intermediate portion of 2, 2. (See Fig. 1) Numerals 42, 42 are insertion rings for the shoulder strap 2 used when the baby carrier is used as a backpack.
When using the baby carrier as a backpack, insert the tips of the shoulder straps 2, 2 and fold them back, and insert the folded tips into the adjustment fittings 5, 5 in the same way as above. It is used to lock. (See FIG. 3) Reference numeral 6 denotes an auxiliary crotch band for adjusting sitting height, which is attached to the inside of the baby carrier body 1.

This auxiliary crotch band 6 has an appropriate width for seating an infant (an appropriate width for passing the infant's crotch area through).
It is formed as a band with a ridge.

The base end of the auxiliary crotch strap 6 is removably attached to the inner upper end of the baby carrier main body 1 via the slide fastener 7, and the length adjustment belt 61 extending from the tip is a belt for adjusting the interval. It is attached to a locking tool 81 formed at the tip of an attachment belt 8, which also serves as a belt, so that its length can be adjusted freely.

The mounting belt 8, which also serves as a band for adjusting the distance, is
It consists of two belts each having a buckle or other locking device 81, 81' attached to the tip, and the base end of each belt is placed near the base end of the two shoulder straps 2, 2. It is installed.

The attachment position of the belts 8, 8, which also serve as belts for adjusting the distance, to the shoulder belts 2, 2 is the baby carrier main body 1.
A distance that allows the infant's body, especially the upper half of the infant, to be accommodated inside the infant's body (distance equivalent to the thickness of the infant's chest plate, or space equivalent to the chest circumference)
It is intended to have the following.

Note that the buckle mechanism that constitutes the locking tools 81, 81' is also a known one, and one of the locking tools 81 is configured as a so-called male piece with a locking claw 82' formed at the tip, and the other locking tool is configured as a male piece. 81' is constructed as a female piece having a fitting part 82 formed therein, into which the locking claw 82' can be fitted and gripped.

Reference numeral 83 denotes a belt insertion hole formed integrally on the lower surface of one of the locking devices 81, through which the belt 61 for length adjustment extending from the tip of the auxiliary crotch band 6 is inserted and locked.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a lid piece formed on the mounting portion of the slide fastener 7, which prevents the slide fastener 7 from coming into direct contact with the infant's skin.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a protective cloth formed in a U-shape on the side surface attached to the locking devices 81, 81', which prevents discomfort due to direct contact of the infant's head etc. with the locking devices 81, 81' during use. It prevents you from having such feelings.

In the embodiment, a structure in which the auxiliary crotch strap 6 is detachably attached to the baby carrier main body 1 is illustrated, but the structure is not limited to this. It is also possible to have a configuration in which the belt 61 is sewn and fixed to the inner upper end of the baby carrier main body 1, and only the length adjustment belt 61 formed at the tip can be attached and detached.

[Effect of idea]

The effects of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

(1) Since the auxiliary crotch strap 6 for adjusting the sitting height is attached to the inside of the baby carrier body 1, it can be used when the body shape of the infant to be accommodated in the baby carrier body 1 is smaller than the planned size (standard body shape). is the central part of the mounting belt 8 which also serves as a band for adjusting the distance passed near the base ends of the two shoulder straps 2, 2 (specifically, the belt insertion hole 8 formed on the bottom surface of the locking tool 81).
By adjusting the length of the length-adjusting belt 61 that is inserted through and locked in (3), the height of the auxiliary crotch band 6 can be adjusted to the optimum state for the infant's body shape.

That is, if the infant's body size is smaller than the expected size, the tip of the auxiliary crotch band 6 can be lifted by shortening the length of the length-adjusting belt 61.

As a result, the size of the U-shape formed by the auxiliary crotch strap 6 is reduced, and the infant's body is supported while being lifted upward by the reduced auxiliary crotch strap 6, so that the baby carrier body is It has an excellent effect in that even an infant whose body size is smaller than the one originally intended can be provided with the same comfortable sitting height and feeling of use as an infant with the intended body size.

In addition, if the height of the auxiliary crotch band 6 becomes too high as the infant grows, you can adjust the length of the auxiliary crotch band 61 by increasing the length of the length adjustment belt 61. The size of the U-shaped body formed by the band 6 is increased, which has the effect of making adjustment easier.

(2) The length adjustment belt 61 formed at the tip of the auxiliary crotch band 6 is integrally formed with a locking tool 81 attached to the tip of the attachment belt 8, which also serves as a gap adjustment band. The length is adjusted at the belt insertion hole 83 portion, and the adjustment operation involves lifting or lowering the length of the length adjustment belt 61 by tightening or loosening it. Since the length adjustment belt 61 is configured to perform the following, adjustment can be easily performed by one-touch adjustment of the length adjustment belt 61.

(3) Belt 61 for length adjustment and belt insertion hole 83
Since the part that locks the belt is configured so that it is located in front of the infant's body during use, it is possible to prepare the belt while the infant is placed on the auxiliary crotch strap 6. This makes it extremely easy to make fine adjustments to select the optimal position for the infant's body shape.

(4) Conventional baby carriers did not have a structure that maintained the distance between the two shoulder straps that were in contact with the user's shoulders (hung in parallel), so the infant carried on the back was There was a concern that the shoulder strap would shift laterally from the shoulder and separate from the shoulder when the user, such as the mother, moved vigorously or when the user, such as the mother, moved actively. Both ends of the attachment belt 8 to be stopped (the base ends of the two attachment belts) are attached to the shoulder strap 2,
Since the belt 8 is attached so as to extend near the base end of the belt 8, the shoulder straps 2, 2 can be hung on the user's shoulders while maintaining a constant distance between them. Various drawbacks of conventional baby carriers can be completely solved.
