Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swaddling set for a baby, comprising a wrap.
  • a baby swaddled in a wrap which in this context is also referred to as a 'swaddling blanket, is generally calm and sleeps well. This method of swaddling has been used from time immemorial and is still used by mothers to take their baby with them to work, frequently on the land, so that the mother is able to carry out her work on the land while she has her baby relatively close to her.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a swaddling set in which the baby can be swaddled safely by wrapping in a wrap and which set is also very suitable for use during prolonged uninterrupted periods, such as during the night, without interim checking.
  • a swaddling set for a baby comprising: a sleeping bag with armholes and shoulder straps; a wrap; and - fixing means for fixing the sleeping bag and the wrap to one another, which fixing means are provided in such a way that in the use position, when the wrap is wrapped around the sleeping bag, the wrap is fixed with respect to the sleeping bag in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag.
  • the fixing means can provide permanent fixing of the wrap to a sleeping bag, for example can comprise a sewn seam.
  • the fixing means can, however, also provide non-permanent fixing, in which context consideration can be given to, for example, buttons, zips or touch-and-close means, by means of which the sleeping bag and the wrap can be fixed to one another in a detachable manner.
  • the fixing means comprise at least one joining zone extending in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag, along the trunk section thereof.
  • the fixing means comprise at least one joining zone extending in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag, along the trunk section thereof.
  • Such a joining zone can, for example, extend along the chest side of the trunk section or along one or both sides of the trunk section.
  • the joining zone can furthermore provide a continuous or interrupted join.
  • the fixing means comprise at least one sewn seam which extends in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag along the back section and which joins the sleeping bag and the wrap to one another.
  • the fixing means comprise at least one sewn seam which extends in the longitudinal direction of the sleeping bag along the back section and which joins the sleeping bag and the wrap to one another.
  • the sleeping bag has a closure at the front extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, comprising two overlapping flap sections, the inner flap section, viewed in the transverse direction of the sleeping bag, having a length such that, in the use position, the flap extends to between the baby's back and the back section of the sleeping bag. In this way the baby can, as it were, be wrapped up using the inner flap section.
  • the sleeping bag is provided at the front with a touch-and- close closure.
  • a touch-and-close closure is easy to close and, furthermore, enables adjustability in the transverse direction of the sleeping bag, it then being possible, as it were, to close the sleeping bag more tightly or less tightly around the baby's body.
  • the touch-and-close closure will preferably have a width in the width direction of the sleeping bag that also allows such adjustability.
  • Such a touch-and-close closure can consist of two complementary touch-and-close strips, but it is also very readily conceivable on one side to make use of only one touch-and-close strip, specifically the relatively harder touch-and-close strip, and on the other side not to provide a separate relatively softer touch- and-close strip but to make use of a material that has the softer touch-and-close characteristics in order to be able to interact with said relatively harder touch-and-close strip in a touch-and-close manner.
  • These two methods of using a touch-and-close closure or touch-and-close join can, incidentally, also be employed in other positions in the swaddling set, or, more generally, in any position where a touch-and-close join or closure could be used.
  • the wrap has a triangular basic shape with a base extending essentially transversely to the sleeping bag and a top corner that is located in the region of the head of the baby to be swaddled.
  • top corner can be truncated at the level of the shoulders of the baby to be swaddled. This prevents a loose flap section being located behind the baby's head.
  • one of the side corners adjoining the base is truncated in such a way that, in the wrapped use position, the respective side of the wrap does not extend beyond the front of the body of the baby to be swaddled. What is achieved in this way is that this one side of the wrap merely has to be wrapped over the front of the baby's body and does not have to be wrapped round the back. The other side of the wrap can then be wrapped around the baby in order to achieve the wrap effect.
  • the sleeping bag is provided with touch-and-close strips below the armholes, at the front, at the location of the upper arms of the baby to be swaddled and if the wrap is provided on the inside thereof with strips that interact with said touch-and-close strips in a touch-and-close manner in such a way that, in the use position, the arms of the swaddled baby are held in a position lying alongside the body.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagrammatic plan and perspective view of a swaddling set according to the invention that has been laid open, with a baby therein;
  • Fig. 2 shows a view corresponding to Fig. 1, but with the sleeping bag partly folded closed;
  • Fig. 3 shows a view corresponding to Figs 1 and 2, but now with one side of the wrap partially wrapped over the baby.
  • Fig. 4 shows a view corresponding to that in Figs 1, 2 and 3 but now with the swaddling set in the completely swaddled position;
  • Fig. 5 shows a sectional view along the arrows V in Fig. 4.
  • the swaddling set according to the invention that is intended for a baby 1 , is made up of essentially a sleeping bag 2 and a wrap 3.
  • the sleeping bag 2 is of the type which has two armholes 4 and two shoulder straps 5.
  • the baby's arms 6 are placed through the armholes and the two so-called flap sections 7 and 8 of the sleeping bag are placed against one another and attached to one another.
  • the shoulder straps 5 then fit over the shoulders and the baby's head protrudes from the sleeping bag between the shoulder straps.
  • Sleeping bags of this type are generally known, in particular for babies. With such sleeping bags the so-called flap sections 7 and 8 are conventionally joined to one another, abutting one another, by means of a zip fastener, which closes from top to bottom.
  • a zip fastener which closes from top to bottom.
  • the flap sections 7 and 8 wrap over one another.
  • a conventional sleeping bag of the type just described could also be used, or that wrapping of the so-called flap sections 7 and 8 over one another is not necessary but is advantageous.
  • wrapping the flap sections 7 and 8 over one another offers a facility for closing the sleeping bag tightly around the baby 1 contained therein. Without making use of the wrap, this already provides a sort of swaddling effect from the start, if the flap sections 7 and 8 can now also be joined to one another in the transverse peripheral direction of the sleeping bag such that they are adjustable with respect to one another.
  • Such an adjustable, or, if preferred, adaptable method of joining to one another can be achieved, for example, by providing a set of buttons, but according to the invention is highly advantageously achieved by making use of a touch-and-close closure, at least one of the effective parts of which extends over some distance in the transverse direction or peripheral direction of the sleeping bag.
  • These complementary touch-and-close strips, which interact with one another, are indicated by 9 and 10.
  • Touch-and-close strip 9 is on the inside of the wrap- over flap 7 and touch-and-close strip 10 is on the outside of the inner flap section 8.
  • the so-called inner flap section 8 of the sleeping bag viewed in the transverse direction of the sleeping bag, has a length such that, in the use position, this flap 8 extends to between the baby's back and the back section of the sleeping bag.
  • the sleeping bag can be opened and closed at the bottom, in particular on the half of the other flap 7 (the right-hand half in Fig. 1) by means of a touch-and-close join 13, 14.
  • the wrap in the swaddling set according to the invention advantageously has a triangular basic shape with a base 15 (the lower edge) extending essentially transversely to the sleeping bag and a truncated top corner 16 that is at the level of the shoulders of the baby 1 to be swaddled in the set.
  • the right-hand corner and the left-hand corner of the wrap 3 are also truncated.
  • the right-hand corner that belongs to part 17 of the wrap that is located furthest to the inside when wrapping is substantially truncated with this arrangement, such that, in the wrapped use position, this corner will not extend beyond the front of the body of the baby to be swaddled. The reason for this is to facilitate wrapping up.
  • the truncated side 18 that is on the right in Fig. 1 is indicated in more detail in Fig. 5.
  • the truncation is less essential.
  • one advantage of truncating the side 20 is that the length of the wrap, and thus the wrap corner length to be produced when swaddling, is shortened.
  • the sleeping bag 2 and wrap 3 are fixed to one another by means of fixing means 22.
  • the fixing means 22 can be, for example, touch-and-close means.
  • a sewn seam join 22 which extends in an interrupted or uninterrupted rectangular pattern over the back section 12 of the sleeping bag.
  • the joining zone 21 produced by the sewn seam 22 advantageously extends over essentially the entire length of the sleeping bag. In this way the sleeping bag and wrap can be kept neatly positioned with respect to one another.
  • the joining zone extends over at least the trunk section 23 of the baby.
  • the sleeping bag 2 and wrap 3 can also be fixed to one another by means of two touch-and-close closures, each having a touch-and-close strip 24, 25.
  • the touch-and- close strip 25 is always provided on the outside of the sleeping bag, on the front of the sleeping bag at the location of the arms, in any event of at least the upper arms of the baby to be swaddled, below the armholes.
  • the touch-and-close strips 24 are provided on the inside of the wrap 3 in a position such that they are able to engage in a touch-and-close manner with the touch-and-close strips 25 in the wrapped position.
  • touch-and-close strips 24, 25 What can be achieved by means of the touch-and-close strips 24, 25 is that in the swaddled position the baby's arms are held in a fixed position alongside the baby's trunk 23. This is illustrated in more detail in particular with reference to Fig. 5, where the touch-and-close strips 24 and 25 are shown some distance apart for the sake of clarity of the drawing. However, it should be clear that in the swaddled position the touch-and-close strips 24, 25 will engage with one another in a touch-and-close manner. Adjustability of the touch-and-close joins 24 and 25 can be achieved by allowing at least one of the touch-and-close strips 24, 25 to extend over a sufficient length in the peripheral direction of the sleeping bag.
  • the overall procedure when swaddling a baby will be, or at least can be, as follows:
  • the wrap 3 and the sleeping bag 2 are unfolded as shown in Fig. 1 and the baby 1 is placed thereon.
  • the baby's arms 6 are then placed through the armholes 4, the inner flap section 8 of the sleeping bag is placed between the baby's back 11 and the back section 12 of the sleeping bag and the outer flap 7 of the sleeping bag is folded over the inner flap 8 in order to produce the touch-and-close joins 9 and 10, preferably in such a way that the sleeping bag 2 encloses the baby 1 relatively tightly.
  • One arm 6 of the baby is then first placed by the baby's trunk in order then to produce one touch-and-close join 24, 25 and this procedure is then repeated for the other arm 6 and other touch-and-close join 24, 25.
