Description

The utility model relates to the field of satisfying a person’s vital needs, in particular to plastic children’s rocking chairs.

A children's rocking chair is known, having a bottom curved in the transverse plane and an elongated convex hollow body with a seat on top, front handles on an inflated convex front part of the body and foot supports on the body from bottom to front (see, for example, the LITTLE TIKES rocking-dog company, manufacturer Poland, http://kids.wikimart.ru).

The disadvantage of this rocking chair is the limited operational capabilities (intended only for children from 1 to 3 years). This is due to the design features of the rocking chair, in particular the presence of a low seat and a high back at the back, as a result of which the seat length (the distance between the front convex part and the back) is insufficient to accommodate, for example, a seven-year-old child. Moreover, the width of the bottom is not sufficient to use it on both sides of the body as additional supports for placing the feet of a seven-year-old child, and short horizontal arms are inconvenient for placing his hands. A not wide bottom also reduces the lateral stability of the rocking chair when used by its seven-year-old child.

In addition, the rocking chair is not convenient in operation, because the seat is flat.

Another disadvantage is the increased weight of the rocking chair, as the bottom is solid, and the wall thickness of the body is large enough, which is associated with the manufacturing technology of the rocking chair (centrifugal casting method).

A rocking chair for children is also known, which has a curved bottom with rounded corners and a vertical shoulder around the perimeter, a convex hollow body with a seat on top, fixedly mounted in front on the high part of the body and downwardly detachable handles made in the form of elongated plates expanding towards the middle part and fixed on the case with the upper end pointing downward, as well as leg supports on the case from below in front and on the sides of the case on the bottom (see, for example, the rocker “dog” by STARPLAST, Israel, http: // w ww.elephant.ru).

The disadvantage of this rocking chair, designed for use by children from 1.5 to 7 years and having a high elongated and convex seat and additional lower supports on the extended bottom, is the inconvenience of operation.

This is due to the fastening of the handles to the body with only the upper end and the execution of the handles made of rubber, i.e. elastic, as a result of which the child has nothing to hold on to during the swing process, which creates a feeling of danger and discomfort in him and leads to rapid fatigue. The lack of reliable support for the hands does not allow the upper body to be fixed when the rocking tilts back and forth, as a result of which the load on the child’s muscular system is unevenly distributed, and the development of proper coordination of movements is inhibited.

In addition, this rocking chair, as well as its counterpart, has a lot of weight, because the bottom is solid. As a result, young children need to exert increased efforts to swing, especially in the absence of reliable fixation of the upper body, which leads to the rapid onset of a feeling of fatigue.

A disadvantage of the rocking chair is also the difficulty in manufacturing, because it is made by centrifugal casting, which not only requires the use of expensive equipment, but also leads to a large consumption of raw materials in the production process.

The utility model solves the problem of increasing ease of use by reliably fixing the upper body.

To solve this problem, in a well-known rocking chair with a curved bottom with rounded corners and a vertical shoulder around the perimeter, a convex hollow body with a seat on top, fixedly mounted in front on an inflated part of the body, removable arms that are downward inclined downward and made in the form of elongated plates extending to the middle of the plate and fixed on the casing with the upper end pointing downward, as well as leg supports on the casing from below in front and on the sides of the casing on the bottom, in accordance with the utility model, the handles are made of plastic material and are additionally fixed to the body with the lower part.

The bottom in the central part along the perimeter of the housing is provided with an opening.

Additional fastening of the handles to the body is made in the form of hooks on the handles and grooves on the body.

Handles are made of Sevilen type material.

Inside the shoulder along the perimeter of the bottom are transverse stiffeners.

Design features of the rocking chair: the implementation of the handles of plastic material and fixing them on the body in two places (top and bottom) - increase ease of use, because in children of different ages, it becomes possible to securely fix the upper body during the swing process, which creates a sense of security, as well as develops coordination of movements and evenly strengthens the muscular system of the upper and lower body.

An additional advantage of the rocking chair is the possibility of increasing the duration of the swing due to a more reliable fixation of the upper part of the body, and due to the execution of the bottom with a hole (reducing the weight of the rocking chair).

In addition, the presence of transverse stiffeners inside the shoulder increases the strength of the rocking chair with a lightweight bottom.

The presence of a lightweight bottom also saves raw materials during the manufacturing process. At the same time, the rocking chair is made by a simpler method (injection molding), which does not require sophisticated equipment.

The inventive utility model has a set of essential features unknown from the prior art for objects of similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that it meets the criterion of "novelty."

The utility model is illustrated by drawings, where in Fig. 1 is a three-dimensional image of a rocking chair, in Fig. 2 is a top view, in Fig. 3 is a cross section of a rocking chair (scaled up).

The rocking chair consists of (figure 1, 2, 3) extended with rounded corners of the bottom 1 and the hollow body 2 with the seat 3.

The rocking chair has the ability to swing in the longitudinal plane, for which the bottom 1 is made (figure 1) curved in the transverse plane. In the Central part of the bottom around the perimeter of the housing there is a hole (Fig.2, 3).

At the front, on the inflated part of the body (Figs. 1, 2, 3), obliquely located removable arms 4 are fixedly fixed in two places. The arms are made in the form of elongated plates, for convenient arrangement of the hands of children of different ages expanding to the middle part. The upper part of the handles is made curved with the downward end 5 fixed in the groove of the housing. The lower part of the handles is attached to the housing using hooks 6 (Fig. 3) and grooves on the housing.

The handles 4 are made of plastic material (type "sevilen"). At the same time, the plastic properties of “Sevilen” will allow the child to slightly bend the handle with his fingertips during the operation of the rocking chair.

On the body in front of the bottom 1 there are (Figs. 1, 2, 3) upper leg supports 7, intended for young children.

On the sides of the case on the bottom there are lower supports 8, designed for older children.

The bottom along the perimeter is equipped with a vertical shoulder 9 (figures 1, 2, 3), inside which there are transverse stiffeners 10 (figures 1, 3).

The inventive design of the rocking chair for children can be repeatedly reproduced from known materials (polypropylene, handles - sevilen) using known equipment using known technology (injection molding).

The utility model works as follows.

A young child sits down on a rocking chair with the help of adults and, in the process of swinging, rests his legs on the upper supports 7, an older child, sitting on a rocking chair on his own, rests his feet on the supports 8 (bottom). Moreover, in the process of placing on a rocking chair, an older child can use the handles 4.

Due to the design of the handles 4, fixed in two places, and their plasticity, children of any age can use them with the application of force. In this case, an older child can, clasping their palms in extended places (Fig. 1), thread the fingertips into the gap between the body 2 and the handles 4, increased by applying a small effort, and it is convenient to place them there. A young child can also grab the handles with palms and fingers in the upper narrower and raised part of the handles 4, and at the same time, for convenience and comfort, with the fingertips, slightly raising the handles, increase the gap between the handles and the body.

In the process of swinging, the load on the muscles of the lower body of the child (created due to the support of the legs on the supports or the bottom) and the muscles of the upper shoulder girdle (created through the application of efforts to the arms) are distributed more evenly (with the feeling of fatigue later), which contributes to harmonious physical development a child.

The rocking chair, made in accordance with the utility model, has no sharp angles, has strength, stability and low weight, safe and convenient to use, easy to manufacture.
