Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to an apparatus for carrying a child, and more particularly to an apparatus for supporting the weight of a child on a wearer's hip.
  • Hip support devices include rigid or padded seats for attachment to belts and integrated belt and seat designs.
  • Each of these designs has problems.
  • standard belts are rather narrow and can result in large forces on the wearer's waist or hips.
  • Many of the prior art designs are not comfortable for the child, while others are not easily cleanable.
  • the child carrier includes a belt that is adjustable and has a width that helps to distribute weight on the hips of the wearer, where the child carrier is useful for carrying a child in an upright position.
  • the child carrier includes a contoured member that fits within a pouch of a belt.
  • a child carrier is provided that is worn around the waist like a belt.
  • the belt can be adjusted for a comfortable, personalized fit.
  • the belt strap loops through a D-ring, folds over, and fastens with Velcro for a secure fit.
  • the child is then placed on the hip seat straddling the wearer's hip with one leg in front and one behind.
  • the hip seat provides ample cushion and back support for the child creating a more comfortable ride for both the wearer and the child.
  • the child carrier can be constructed, for example and without limitation, of leather, jacquard, or denim.
  • a child carrier is provided that is easily cleaned.
  • the child carrier includes a belt with a pouch having a removable seat form. With the seat form removed, the remainder of the child carrier may be easily washed.

  • a seat form for a pouch of an apparatus securable about the waist of a wearer and adapted to support a child.
  • the seat form includes a contoured member of substantially rigid material, where the contoured member is adapted to fit within the pouch. It is preferable, though not necessary, for one or more of the surfaces of the seat from that fit against the wearer's hips or that support the child to be padded.
  • a child carrier to be worn about the waist of a wearer includes a pouch securable about the waist and a contoured member of substantially rigid material contained within the pouch.
  • a belt for a child carrier worn about the waist of a wearer and adapted to accept a contoured member to support a child is provided.

  • Belt 120 extends from a first end 301 to a second end 303.
  • First end 301 is adjacent to a first fastening surface 309 covering a portion 307.
  • a second fastening surface 311 extends from first fastening surface 309 towards pouch 130.
  • Second end 303 includes a rigid loop 305, that may be, for example, a D-ring formed of a rigid material such as a metal.
  • Belt fastener 121 includes first fastening surface 309, second fastening surface 311 and loop 305.
  • First fastening surface 309 and second fastening surface 311 are matching surfaces forming a hook-and-loop fastener.
  • Belt 120 is fastened by threading end 301 from the inside to the outside through loop 305 and placing portion 307 against second fastening surface 311. While belt fastener 121 preferably uses a hook-and-loop fastener, as described, it may alternatively include other fasteners useful for a belt including, but not limited to, a buckle, snaps, or laces.
  • the length L of belt 120 is from 40 inches (1.02 m) to 70 inches (1.78 m). In another embodiment, the length L is approximately 50 inches (1.27 m).

  • the maximum width Wl of belt 120, which is in the central portion of the belt, is from 6 inches (150 mm) to 15 inches (380 mm). In another embodiment, the width Wl is approximately 8 inches (200 mm). It is preferred, though not required, that pouch 130 is between the center and edge of belt 130.
  • the minimum width W2 of belt 120 which is near the ends, is from 3 inches (75 mm) to 8 inches (200 mm). In another embodiment, the width W2 is approximately 4 inches (100 mm). In one embodiment, loop 305 is a 4 inch (100 mm) D-ring.

  • top cover 403 and inside cover 405 is foam with a thickness t of from 0.5 inch (13 mm) to 1.5 inches (38 mm).
  • contoured member 401 is a plastic including, but not limited to, molded polyurethane. While FIG. 5 shows contoured member 401 to be a solid piece bounded by surfaces 402, 404, and 406, it is most important that the contoured member be sufficiently rigid to support the weight of a child without breaking. In addition, for use in a carrier such as child carrier 100 it is preferred that it fit snuggly within pouch 130. Thus surfaces 402, 404, and 406 may, for example, may be bounding surfaces of contoured member 401 which may include hollowed out portions. [0031] FIGS.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un porte-bébé permettant à un utilisateur de transporter un enfant sur ses hanches. Le porte-bébé comporte une courroie munie d'un siège, laquelle courroie est prévue pour être portée à la taille de l'utilisateur. Un enfant peut ainsi être assis dans le siège et faire face à l'utilisateur du porte-bébé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le siège comporte une forme rigide contenue à l'intérieur d'une poche accrochée à la ceinture, permettant ainsi un nettoyage aisé de la courroie et de la poche du siège. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le siège est sensiblement rigide et comporte une ou plusieurs surfaces de siège recouvertes d'un matériel plus souple, ce qui est plus confortable pour l'utilisateur et pour l'enfant. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, la courroie est plus large à proximité du siège, distribuant plus efficacement le poids de l'enfant sur les hanches de l'utilisateur.
