Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a temporal support for stabilizing an infant's head, which is mounted on a baby carrier used as an aid for moving the infant while carrying the child on the back or holding it in front. The present invention relates to a member and a baby carrier with a temporal support member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a baby carrier of this type is generally provided with a head support member above a back support portion of a carrier body for accommodating an infant body in order to stabilize the head of the infant. Many are used. Such a headrest supports the fallen infant's occipital region, prevents it from falling backwards, and protects the neck of an infant who is not fully developed.

[0003] However, the head support member can prevent the head support member from falling backward, but cannot prevent the head support member from falling laterally.

[0004] Therefore, various baby carriers having a headrest member capable of supporting not only the back of the head but also the side of the head have been proposed. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 7-3350 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 8-242980, a wide occipital support member and a temporal support member are integrated so as to prevent them from falling backward and laterally. The head pat is described. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-28518 describes a baby carrier in which a through hole is provided in an occipital support member, and a crescent-shaped strip-shaped temporal support member is inserted through the through hole as necessary. . These temporal support members are used with their distal ends fixed to a shoulder belt or the like by a fastener such as a snap.

[0005]

By the way, the temporal support member is required only when the infant is sleeping, not when the child is awake. In addition, when the neck becomes firmer with the growth of the infant, the stability of the head can be ensured only by the occipital support during sleep. Thus, the temporal support members are only required during infancy and during sleep.

[0006] However, among the above-mentioned support members, in the former, since the occipital support member and the temporal support member are integrated, only the temporal support member cannot be removed. When there is temporal support material when not needed,
This will hinder the movement of the active and curious infant and obstruct the gaze, which is very uncomfortable for the infant. Especially in the summer months, it can be hot. Also, releasing the locking with a shoulder belt or the like can secure a certain degree of free movement, but it still has the same effect as blocking the line of sight. In addition, if the support member with the firm attachment is hung near the face without being fixed, there is a danger that the infant will be directly hurt, or that it will be caught by something and indirectly hurt.

On the other hand, if the detachable temporal support member is removed when not in use, the former problem can be solved. However, in order to mount such a support member, a specific structure, such as providing a through hole in the occipital region support member, must be used, and it cannot be used for existing baby carriers.

In view of such a background, an object of the present invention is to provide a temporal support member which can be detachably attached to an existing baby carrier, and a baby carrier with such a temporal support member attached thereto.

Next, the temporal support members (1) (1)
1) How to use (31) will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 7A, a mounting portion (3) of the temporal support members (1), (11), (31).
(13) The openings (2), (12), and (32) of (33) are extended and expanded, and the head support member (4) of the baby carrier (41) is extended.
6), and as shown in FIG.
6) Pull down deeply until it reaches the tip and attach it. After the mounting, the opening dimensions of the mounting portions (3), (13), and (33) are reduced, so that the mounting portions (3), (13), and (33) fit around the headrest member (46) and are difficult to be removed. Next, left and right abutment pieces (4) (4) (14) (14) (34) of the temporal support members (1) (11) (31).
The tip of (34) is snapped (6a) (16a) (36
a) left and right shoulder belts (48) respectively
The contact pieces (4), (4), (14), (14), (34), and (34) are fixed by engaging with the counterpart snap (36b) of (48). FIG. 8 shows a temporal support member (1) (1
1) shows a state in which (31) is attached, and the stability of the infant head is determined by the head support member (46) and the temporal support member (1) (1).
1) Patches of (41) (4) (4) (14) (14)
(34) As a result of (34), it is held also on the side as well as on the rear.

As described above, the temporal support members (1), (11), (31) are provided with the mounting portions (3), (13), (3).
By forming the opening dimensions of the openings (2), (12), and (32) of 3) so that they can be adjusted, the opening size is enlarged at the time of mounting, so that the head mounting member (46) can be easily mounted. By shrinking, it becomes difficult to remove from the headrest member (46), and the mounting state can be stabilized. In particular, when the temporal support members (1) and (11) are applied to an existing baby carrier, dimensional flexibility is increased and versatility is increased. Also,
The method of adjusting the opening size is not limited to the method using the expansion and contraction of the rubber tape as described above, but may be based on snap fastening, belt fastening, or the like. However, it is recommended to use one that utilizes expansion and contraction of a rubber tape in that it has good fit to the headrest member (46) and is easy to attach and detach.

The temporal support members (1) (1)
1) The engaging mechanism for fixing the abutment pieces (4), (14), (34) of (31) to the shoulder belts (48, 48) is not particularly limited, either, and a known mechanism such as a snap, a button, a buckle, and a hook-and-loop fastener is used. Can be used as appropriate. Of these,
Snap fastening can be recommended as it is easy to attach the fastening member to the existing baby carrier and does not get in the way when not in use. In addition, it is preferable that the effective length of the contact piece can be adjusted according to the growth of the infant and the size of the existing head contact member. For example, in the temporal support member (11) shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the snap (16a) can be adjusted by attaching two stages of snaps (16a) in the length direction of the contact piece (14).

On the other hand, temporal support members (1) (11)
When the (31) is not used, it is detached from the headrest member (46), and if it is the second temporal support member (11), the portable bag (21) is turned upside down as described above so as to be in the portable state. (FIG. 4). If the baby carrier has a temporal support member, it is stored in the pocket (49). Thus, the temporal support members (1) (11)
Since (31) can be completely removed from the head support member (46), the movement and the line of sight of the infant are not obstructed.

[0030]

As described above, since the temporal support member of the present invention can be mounted on the head support member of the baby carrier only when necessary, the child's head may fall down to the side at the time of mounting. It can protect the infant by preventing it and removing it when not in use does not obstruct the movement and gaze of the infant. In addition, since it can be mounted simply by putting on the headrest member, a special structure for mounting is not required on the headrest member side, and the present invention can be applied to an existing baby carrier.

In particular, by making the opening size of the opening of the mounting portion adjustable, it can be mounted on the head support members of various sizes of the existing baby carrier to increase the versatility, and the mounting and dismounting operation is simple, and The fitting property is good and it is hard to come off.

Further, the temporal support material in which the portable bag is integrated is convenient for carrying when not in use, and there is no risk of losing the portable bag when in use.

Further, in the baby carrier with a temporal support member, the temporal support member is always present together with the baby carrier by being stored in the pocket of the baby carrier when not in use, so that it can be immediately taken out and mounted when necessary. In addition, since the temporal support member may be manufactured according to the dimensions or the material of the head support member of the baby carrier, not only the functional surface but also the appearance is excellent. In addition, since the temporal support member is separated and independent from the carrier body, if the child grows up and does not use the temporal support member, unnecessary things do not need to be carried, and the pocket can be used as a general-purpose pocket. It is not wasted.
