The illustrated child care article is provided with a canopy, which can be covered with a seat cushion supported on a support portion. As one of the requirements for such a canopy, it is required that it can be applied to various support portions and / or seat cushions. If the canopy can be applied to various supporting portions and / or seat cushions, the canopy and the supporting portions and / or seat cushions can be combined and used in a desired manner. However, in general, the canopy can only be connected to a support portion and / or a seat cushion designed corresponding to the canopy, or even if it can be connected, it cannot perform its function as desired. Specifically, in general, the canopy has a connection portion for connection with a support portion or a seat cushion. In addition, the support portion or the seat cushion has a holding portion to which the connection portion of the canopy is connected and holds the canopy. The canopy cannot be connected to a holding portion that is not designed to correspond to its connecting portion, or shakes even if it can be connected, or an undesired gap is formed between the canopy and the support portion or the seat cushion, and cannot be as desired Play its role. In addition, in general, the canopy cannot be connected to a support portion and / or a seat cushion that does not originally have a holding portion.

In consideration of such a situation, the canopy of the present embodiment has been carefully studied in order to be applicable to various support portions and / or seat cushions.

Hereinafter, the canopy will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. 6 and 7 show a canopy before being attached to a support portion and a seat cushion. FIG. 6 is a side view showing the canopy in a fully expanded state, and FIG. 7 is a side view showing the canopy shown in FIG. 6. Fig. 8 is a view showing the canopy attached to the support portion and the seat cushion from the side opposite to the child side of the support portion.

As shown in FIG. 5, the canopy 70 includes a canopy body 71 that covers the seat cushion 30 and a base 72 that is connected to at least a part of the peripheral edge portion of the canopy body 71. In the example shown, the canopy 70 can function as a mosquito net.

First, the base 72 will be described. In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 6, the base 72 is formed of a substantially rectangular cloth. Of course, the base 72 may contain materials other than cloth. The base 72 may be formed of a material other than cloth. In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 5, the base 72 has a size sufficient to cover most of the waist region of the footrest portion 21 d of the seat portion support portion 20, the seat plate 21 a, and the back plate 21 b. By covering the gap between the seat plate 21a and the back plate 21b and the gap between the seat plate 21a and the pedal portion 21d with the base 72, it is possible to reduce the intrusion of pests such as mosquitoes into the inside of the canopy 70 through the gap Hidden danger.

As shown in FIG. 5, the base 72 is disposed between the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20. Thereby, the movement of the base 72 with respect to the seat cushion 30 and the support part 20 is suppressed. In the illustrated example, the base 72 is disposed at least on a part (waist region) of the back 32 of the seat cushion 30 and the seat portion 31, a part (waist region) of the back plate 21 b and the support portion 20, and the seat plate 21 a. between. These parts of the seat cushion 30 and the support part 20 are parts which receive most of the weight of the child who rides in the child care article 10. By disposing the base 72 between these parts of the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20, movement of the base 72 (and thus the canopy 70) relative to the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20 is effectively prevented.

Further, in the example shown in the figure, the base 72 is formed with holes 81 to 83 through which the belt portions 51 to 53 provided in the support portion 20 pass. By passing the belt portions 51 to 53 through the holes 81 to 83 of the base 72, the base 72 can be held by the belt portions 51 to 53. As a result, movement of the base 72 relative to the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20 is further effectively prevented. In addition, as mentioned above, the band parts 51-53 are members normally provided in the childcare article 10. By using such members to hold the base 72 (and thus the canopy 70), it is not necessary to form a dedicated holding portion for holding the canopy 70 in the support portion and / or the seat cushion 30.

In the illustrated example, the base 72 is provided with three holes 81 to 83. The first hole 81 is provided in the center of the base 72 for the crotch portion 51 to pass through. In addition, the second hole 82 and the third hole 83 are areas near the rear peripheral edge portion 72r of the base 72, and are provided separately from each other in the area covering the waist area of the back plate 21b. The second hole 82 and the third hole 83 allow the waistband portions 52 and 53 to pass through, respectively. By passing the plurality of band portions 51 to 53 through the plurality of holes 81 to 83 provided in the base 72, the base 72 is held at a plurality of positions through which the band portions 51 to 53 pass. Accordingly, movement of the base 72 with respect to the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20 is further effectively prevented.

The hole provided in the base 72 may be a hole through which the crotch portion 51 and / or belt portions other than the waist belt portions 52 and 53 are passed, that is, a hole through which the shoulder belt portions 54 and 55 may be passed. In this case, the base 72 is formed so as to cover the shoulder region of the back plate 21b. The hole provided in the base 72 in this manner may be a hole through which any of the belt portions 51 to 55 can pass. The number of holes provided in the base 72 may be arbitrary. However, there are many cases where the belt portions 52 and 53 are not used. Therefore, it is preferable that any of the holes provided in the base 72 is a hole through which the crotch portion 51 or the shoulder belt portions 54 and 55 can pass.

As described above, the base 72 is disposed between the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20. Therefore, abrasion occurs between the base 72 and the seat cushion 30 and the support portion 20. In addition, in the example shown in the figure, the base 72 is held by the belt portions 51 to 53, and thus the base 72 may be pulled by the belt portions 51 to 53. In addition, since the base 72 is connected to the canopy main body 71, there are cases where it is pulled by the canopy main body 71. Since various forces are applied to the base 72 in this way, in order to be able to withstand these forces, the base 72 is made of a sufficiently strong cloth. In the example shown in the figure, the base 72 is formed of a cloth having a higher strength than the cloth 90 of the awning body 71. In addition, in this specification, "high-strength cloth" means cloth with high tearing strength, tear strength, and abrasion strength.

Next, the canopy body 71 will be described. The canopy body 71 includes a soft cloth 90 and a plurality of rod-shaped reinforcing members 73 attached to the cloth 90. As described above, the canopy 70 can function as a mosquito net. Therefore, in the example shown in the figure, a net-like cloth is used as the cloth 90 of the canopy body 71. By making the cloth 90 of the awning main body 71 into a net shape, it is possible to prevent pests such as mosquitoes from entering the inside of the awning 70 and to maintain the air permeability between the outside and the inside of the awning 70. Of course, instead of the cloth 90, a mesh member other than the cloth may be used. The reinforcing member 73 is held by being sewn to the cloth 90 and formed into a U-shape. The reinforcing member 73 is formed of, for example, polyacetal (POM). In the fully-expanded state of the canopy 70 shown in FIG. 1, the reinforcing member 73 maintains the cloth 90 of the canopy body 71 in an opened state by its rigidity. Thereby, a space for accommodating a child can be stably secured between the cloth 90 and the seat cushion 30. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, since both end portions of each reinforcing member 73 are disposed between the side wall portion 33 of the seat cushion 30 and the armrest 22 of the support portion 20, children's contact on the seat cushion 30 is prevented from being reinforced When both ends of the member 73 are injured.

In addition, as the cloth 90 of the canopy main body 71, various conventional materials can be used according to the function required by the canopy 70. For example, as a function of the canopy 70, if the awning 70 is required to be able to be viewed from the outside of the awning 70 to the inside or the outside is viewed from the inside of the awning 70, the cloth 90 as the awning body 71 can be Use cloth with high visible light transmittance. In addition, as a function of the canopy 70, when it is required to block sunlight and / or illumination light, as the cloth 90 of the canopy body 71, a cloth with good light-shielding properties can be used. In addition, as a function of the canopy 70, when it is required to shield from wind and rain, as the cloth 90 of the canopy body 71, a cloth having low air permeability, hydrophobicity and / or water resistance, and good water resistance can be used. Of course, as the cloth 90 of the canopy body 71, various kinds of cloths having different functions from each other can be used.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cloth material 90 includes a first main cloth portion 91 and a second main cloth portion 92 that cover the upper side from the front of the seat cushion 30 in a fully deployed state of the canopy 70, and a supporting portion 20 and a seat. The sub cloth portion 93 which is covered on the side opposite to the child side of the seat cushion 30. The plurality of reinforcing members 73 are attached to the main cloth portions 91 and 92.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first main cloth portion 91 is connected to the front peripheral edge portion 72 f of the base 72. The first main cloth portion 91 forms a front edge portion of the cloth 90 of the awning main body 71, and has a first edge portion 91 a connected to the base 72 and a second edge portion 91 b connected to the second main cloth portion 92. The first edge portion 91 a is sewn to the front peripheral edge portion 72 f of the base 72. Thereby, a hidden danger that a pest such as a mosquito enters the inside of the canopy 70 between the first main cloth portion 91 and the base 72 is reduced.

The second main cloth portion 92 includes a third edge portion 92 a connected to the first main cloth portion 91 and a fourth edge portion 92 b connected to the sub cloth portion 93. The fourth edge portion 92b is sewn to the sub cloth portion 93. Thereby, a hidden danger that a pest such as a mosquito enters the inside of the canopy 70 between the second main cloth portion 92 and the sub cloth portion 93 is reduced.

The first main cloth portion 91 and the second main cloth portion 92 are connected via a zipper. More specifically, one of the pair of fastener tapes 95 a and 95 b of the zipper 95 is provided on the second edge portion 91 b of the first main cloth portion 91. In addition, the third edge portion 92a of the second main cloth portion 92 is provided with another fastener stringer 95b corresponding to one fastener stringer 95a. The slide fastener 95 further includes a slider 96 that engages each element row of the pair of fastener tapes 95a and 95b, and the slide fastener 96 can be opened and closed by moving the slider 96. In addition, by closing the zipper 95, the second edge portion 91b of the first main cloth portion 91 and the third edge portion 92a of the second main cloth portion 92 are connected without a gap, thereby preventing pests from passing through the first main cloth portion 91 and the second main cloth portion 92 penetrate into the canopy 70. In addition, the first main cloth portion 91 and the second main cloth portion 92 are separated by opening the zipper 95 (refer to FIG. 2), so that the canopy 70 is kept inside while the canopy 70 is attached to the support portion 20. Children take out.

The sub cloth portion 93 includes a fifth edge portion 93 a connected to the second main cloth portion 92 and a sixth edge portion 93 b forming a rear edge portion of the cloth 90 of the awning body 71. As described above, in a state where the canopy 70 is attached to the support portion 20, the sub cloth portion 93 covers the support portion 20 and the seat cushion on the opposite side to the child side (see FIGS. 5 and 8). Thereby, the hidden danger that a pest invades the inside of the canopy 70 from between the sub cloth part 93, the support part 20, and the seat cushion 30 is reduced. As is clearly shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the sixth edge portion 93 b is provided with a contact mechanism 94 that contacts the sub cloth portion 93 and the support portion 20 or the cover 36 of the seat cushion 30. By contacting the sub cloth portion 93 with the support portion 20 or the cover 36 of the seat cushion 30, the hidden danger of pests entering the interior of the canopy 70 from between the sub cloth portion 93 and the support portion 20 or the seat cushion 30 is effectively reduced. In the illustrated example, the contact mechanism 94 is rubber provided along the sixth edge portion 93b. By using rubber as the contact mechanism 94, even if the support portion 20 or the seat cushion 30 is moved (for example, the back plate 21b is moved relative to the seat plate 21a), the sixth edge portion 93b of the sub cloth portion 93 can be followed. Movement of the support portion 20 or the seat cushion 30. Therefore, the sixth edge portion 93b of the sub cloth portion 93 can continue to be in contact with the support portion 20 or the seat cushion 30. In addition, as the contact mechanism 94, other materials, such as a button, can also be used.
