Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an infant stage in an infant scale.

Conventional platforms for infant scales include those with a rectangular bottom with side walls of an appropriate height on both sides, and shallow box-shaped platforms with side walls around the entire circumference of the rectangular bottom. The infant was placed supine on these platforms, and the baby's weight was measured while the side walls of the platform restricted the infant's movement in the left-right direction to prevent the infant from falling off the platform.

However, when placing an infant on these conventional infant tables, first support the infant's neck and buttocks with each palm, place the infant into the recess of the table while keeping each palm horizontal, and then The palm is pulled out from under the infant, but at this time, the side wall gets in the way, so
The pulling out motion of the palm had become unnatural. Similarly, when picking up an infant from the platform, the motion of inserting a hand from above between the side wall and the infant became unnatural.

Handling an infant in this way tends to cause fatigue due to the unnatural movements of the person taking the measurement, and rough handling may cause undue force to be applied to the infant, causing adverse effects.

The purpose of this invention is to realize a platform that allows infants to be safely placed on and off the platform without causing unnatural movements. Embodiments based on this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. Platform 1
is fixed to a support 8 protruding from the top of the scale body 2. The platform 1 has a rectangular or oval shaped bottom 3, and on both sides of the bottom 3 there are vertical side walls 5 having a maximum height at the center and a height matching the top 4 of the bottom at both ends.
a, 5b. The side wall 5a has a semicircular neck notch 6a and a buttock notch 7a that reach to the bottom surface at positions lateral to the infant's neck and buttocks. The short side portion of the bottom surface 3 has no side wall and is open.

When placing an infant on the platform 1 having the shape described above, first support and lift the neck 9 and buttocks 10 of the infant 11 with each palm (not shown), and
The hand supporting the buttock 10 is inserted into the neck notch 6a, the hand supporting the buttock 10 is inserted into the buttock notch 7a, and the hands are pulled out in the horizontal direction.

When lowering the infant from the platform 1, conversely, insert your fingertips horizontally between the neck 9 and buttocks 10 of the infant 11 and the upper bottom 4 through the neck notch 6a and the buttock notch 7a, Support the neck 9 and buttocks 10 with your palms and lift them.

Note that the neck notch 6b and the buttock notch 7b may be provided not only in the side wall 5a but also in the side wall 5b as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

As explained above, this device has a notch in the side wall of the platform that reaches the top of the bottom, and allows the hand to be inserted and removed horizontally through the notch to handle the infant, which is different from conventional infant scales. Since it does not require unnatural movements like that of a stage, it reduces the fatigue of the person taking the measurements, does not apply unreasonable force to the infant, and prevents the infant from falling off the stage. Furthermore, by providing cutouts on both side walls, it is possible to put and take down the baby from two directions, the front and the back.
