Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carrying harness, primarily designed for carrying a small child against the carrier's chest and stomach.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to show an improved carrying harness for small children.
  • improvements may be achieved with regard to the management of the harness upon putting it on and placing the child in it as well as with regard to both the carrier and the child's comfort.
  • a carrying harness according to the invention comprises a fastening harness that is strapped fast to a carrier as well as a front piece that is fixed to the fastening harness.
  • the fastening harness and the front piece each have a strap system that are also jointly referred to as the strap system.
  • the front piece with strap system that supports and holds up the carried child is fixed to the fastening harness at several points by means of separate clasps or similar items that can easily be released individually. This facilitates the use of the carrying harness both with regard to putting the carrying harness on and upon putting the child in the carrying harness.
  • the bearing pressure on the carrying harness is borne entirely by the harness by means of this strap system.
  • a further advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that the size of the front piece is controllable through the strap system being adjustable and the fact that a tab projecting from the front piece can lie against the carrier's chest, between the carrier and the child.
  • FIG. 1 shows in diagram form a person wearing a carrying harness
  • FIG. 2 shows the fastening harness
  • FIG. 3 shows a lumbar plate or back piece of the fastening harness
  • FIG. 4 shows a front piece of the carrying harness
  • FIG. 5 shows a back plate and straps of the front piece.
  • the fastening harness comprises a waist strap with a right and left part 1 A, 1 B, two shoulder straps 2 , 3 as well as a back piece or lumbar plate 4 .
  • the shape of the front piece 23 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 4 which shows the front piece's head support part 25 and the fastening arrangements comprising parts 35 , 36 of the head support clasp.
  • the lock and clasp are so formed that they can be simply fastened and released by one hand.
  • the front piece's lower part 24 rests on a tightening strap 37 and a seat strap 38 that, in turn, is connected with a clasp 9 . It is thereby possible for the user to take hold of the clasp 9 without this being made difficult or prevented by the front piece 23 .
  • the front piece 23 can be fastened to and released from the clasp 9 to the required extent in order to make the use of the carrying harness as simple as possible even when a child is to be put in, or taken out, of the carrying harness.
  • the carrying harness also comprises two plates of stiff material, preferably a plastic material.
  • One of the plates designated a lumbar plate, is positioned on the carrier's back and the other plate, designated the back plate, is placed in the front piece 23 behind the carried child's back. Both of the plates are wholly or partly covered by textile material when the carrying harness is being used.
  • the back part or lumbar plate 4 is primarily formed as an upside down T, as seen in FIG. 3 .
  • holes 19 , 20 or other suitable means arranged in order to fasten the two waist strap parts 1 A, 1 B, possibly with a means of adjustment, to the lumbar plate 4 .
  • holes 21 , 22 or corresponding means are arranged at the lumbar plate's upper part in through which the shoulders straps 2 , 3 extend can be kept freely adjustable.
  • the lumbar plate can be divided up into an upper and a lower part that are separate or connected to each other in a suitable manner.
  • the fastening harness has, preferably, a large number of adjustment possibilities as will be seen from the following.
  • the harness's waist strap has two parts, 1 A and 1 B that are fastened to the lower part of the lumbar plate 4 .
  • Each part of the waist strap possesses a clasp 10 , 11 or similar adjustment means for adjusting the length of the waist strap whereby each strap part can be further divided into two parts at the adjustment position.
  • the length adjustment can also be arranged at the fitting on the lumbar plate.
  • the shoulder straps 2 , 3 are fixed on the waist strap's forward part close to the protruding strap parts 14 , 15 .
  • the shoulder straps extend to the upper part of the lumbar plate 4 where they are passed through their respective holes 21 , 22 , (or one joint corresponding hole) of the lumbar plate.
  • the holes 21 , 22 are somewhat diagonal in relation to the lumbar plate's vertical middle axis, and allow for the shoulder straps to be freely adjusted.
  • the shoulder straps are then bent back to the side from which they came out and are fastened to the same respective waist strap part. This can be seen in FIG. 3 with arrows 2 A, 2 B and 3 A, 3 B which correspond to the respective shoulder straps.
  • the shoulder straps can also have adjustment means 12 , 13 for adjustment of their length.
  • adjustment means 12 , 13 are the same as the waist strap's adjustment means and can also be placed at the straps' end-points.
  • the fastening is preferably formed at this so that it can be tightened up, i.e. the straps' length can be reduced through pulling in the strap or tie parts at the adjustment means.
  • the lumbar plate 4 thus provides an advantageous distribution of the load and a simple adjustment of the fastening harness.
  • the front piece 23 ( FIG. 4 ) has a lower part 24 that rests on the seat strap 38 and the forward tightening strap 37 .
  • the seat strap 38 is firmly connected with the clasp 9 or a similar part in relation to this that can be secured and released.
  • the front piece also has side parts 28 , 29 as well as a head support part 25 with fastening strap 26 , 27 that can constitute integral parts of the head support part and connect to the outer clasps 35 , 36 .
  • a back plate 30 that is connected to the side clasps 33 , 34 while two straps 31 , 32 that extend in an outwards direction towards the side parts 28 , 29 and, via the clasps 33 , 34 , are fixed to the fastening harness's clasp 5 , 6 .
  • the strap in the head support can form part of the harness system and be connected with the seat strap.
  • the back plate can also be reduced in size and be possibly replaced by the seat strap, alternatively via the tightening strap, being directly connected with the laterally-directed tightening straps.
