Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of aid devices for washing infants, children or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the provision of the four supports at the back of the table causes it to be suitable for being placed in a stable manner only on the bottom of baths having a quite regular shape; modern or designer baths may not allow the device to be used.
  • This device is a sort of deckchair and it comprises a central area provided with a support face for the backbone of the child and with an opposite face from which two support legs project by means of which the device rests on a surface; the device further comprises an inguinal support for the child, supporting him/her when the device is mounted at an angle, but it hinders the washing operations of such private parts, similarly to what happens for the devices in US2007/ 0294820 and JP H657288.
  • a further problem in common to all the known solutions examined up to now, is related to the fact that they allow the child to be washed only in the bath, the only sanitary facility that usually has such a shape and size to allow the aid device to be arranged therein.
  • the bottom of the home bath is usually placed at the floor level and therefore this forces an operator to perform the washing operation in a less ergonomic position, that is in the kneeling down position and with the back bent forward.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the aim of the present invention to provide an aid device for washing infants or children that is practical, that allows the operator to perform the washing operation also by himself/ herself, in a complete safe manner and easily, being able to effectively reach the child's private parts.
  • the device according to the invention is suitable to be used in a multi-functional way, allowing a child to be supported in a position hanging on the washbasin, for example in order to teach him/her how to wash hands or the teeth or the face.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of a base embodiment of the device of the present invention
  • figure 2 is a side view of the device of fig. 1;
  • figure 3 is a top view of the device of figs. 1 and 2;
  • figure 4 is an operating phase of a first mode for using the device of the preceding figures
  • figure 5 is an operating phase of a second mode for using the device of the preceding figures
  • figure 6 is a front view of an evolved embodiment of the device of the present invention.
  • figure 7 is a side view of the device of fig. 6;
  • figure 8 is a top view of the device of figs. 6 and 7;
  • figure 9 is an operating phase of the device of figures 6-8;
  • figure 10 is an accessory for the device of the preceding figures
  • figure 11 is the accessory of figure 10 assembled on the device of figures 1-9.
  • the aid device 1 for washing infants, children or similar comprises a body 2 provided with a concave backrest 3 and with a convex rear face 4 opposite to said concave backrest 3.
  • anti-slip plastic material In this example it is made as one-piece, of anti-slip plastic material; generally, however, it has to be understood that it could be made by two or more mutually engageable pieces, but preferably it has no hinges with the greater advantage of its strength, low cost and easiness of production.
  • Two supports 5 for the device 1 project from the convex rear face 4, the purpose of which will be better described below.
  • the body 2 then comprises a sitting area 6 provided with two curved supports 7 A, 7B for supporting child's legs open wide; these supports 7 A, 7B are developed particularly at the free end of the sitting area 6 itself.
  • the sitting area 6 further comprises an operating access free area 8, for accessing to and washing a private part of a child: at the sides of the operating access free area 8 the curved supports 7 A, 7B develop, such that a child, once placed on the device 1 lies with his/her legs open and with the private parts exposed to facilitate the cleaning operation.
  • the two curved supports 7 A, 7B has a concavity faced in the same direction as that of the concave backrest 3: in this way the child is received and contained in a safe and gentle mode at the same time, avoiding overly coercive solutions, as it was the case with some prior art devices.
  • the concave backrest 3 has a double concavity, it being both curved according to its plane of symmetry Y (shown in figure 3) and according to a plane perpendicular thereto: this further facilitates the safe containment of the child and prevents undesirable movements.
  • the concave backrest 3 ends with a free end 9 which advantageously supports the child's head during washing, thus acting as a real headrest.
  • curved hooking arm 10 which is placed centrally on the longitudinal plane of symmetry Y of the device 1. It should be noted, with reference to fig. 2, that the curved hooking arm 10 has a concavity facing in the opposite direction than that of two curved supports 7 A, 7B: the function and advantages of this arrangement will be explained a little further.
  • the device 1 is preferably made as one piece, for example with a monolithic body 2 made of anti-slip plastic material, such to permit a simple and inexpensive manufacturing phase, for example by molding or injection.
  • a monolithic body 2 made of anti-slip plastic material, such to permit a simple and inexpensive manufacturing phase, for example by molding or injection.
  • the types of materials and/ or coatings used for this purpose are known per se and therefore no further reference is made thereto.
  • the device 1 is placed in a washbasin and the child B leans the back on the concave backrest 3 and the base of the head on the headrest 9.
  • the back of the thighs of the child B is supported on, and held by, the two curved supports 7 A, 7B; consequently the private parts of the child B are positioned at the operating access free area 8 and advantageously they are exposed such to allow the operator to easily and completely cleaning them.
  • the device 1 is held in a stable position thanks to the two supports 5, resting on the internal surface of the washbasin and thanks to the curved hooking arm 10, engaging the edge of the washbasin.
  • fig. 4 further shows a safety belt 11 which helps in holding in place the child: such belt 11 is optional and serves only for increasing the safety margin of the device 1 against sudden movements of the child B.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is related to its versatility of application, which allows it to be used also to aid the cleaning of teeth, hands or face of the child, for example if these simple operations are desired to be taught him/her.
  • the device 1 according to the present invention because of its shape, lends itself advantageously to support the child even in this operation.
  • the arm 10 is optionally provided with a straight or slightly curved intermediate section 10A.
  • the two supports 5 are intended to provide a safety against lateral movements of the child; obviously even in this case, in order to avoid the child to move backwardly, a safety belt (not shown in the figure), is optionally provided which holds the child in place.
  • the child B is housed at the convex face 4 of the device 1, while the concave face 3 is the one facing the washbasin.
  • the device 1 is desired to be used for rather heavy children, or if the washbasin is provided with an edge with such a shape to affect the stability of the child and/ or of the device, there is provided a more advanced embodiment of the device 1, shown in figs. 6-8.
  • the evolved form is different from the basic one just described because of the provision of the pedestal 15.
  • the pedestal 15 is usable only when the device 1 (to which no further reference is made for brevity purposes) is employed to help washing the hands, teeth, face and like, that is in the operating condition of fig. 5.
  • the pedestal 15 comprises a base 16 and a shaft 17 which extends to the coupling means 18 provided on the body 2.
  • Such coupling means 18 comprises, in this example, a through sleeve defining a housing with a shape complementary with the end portion of the shaft 17, which is thus fitted into said housing and held in place therein by a retaining device, for example a release or screw device 18, depending on preferences.
  • the weight of the adult is used for balancing the device 1 in its evolved form, as shown in fig. 9: in this case the adult A, in order to help the child B, is naturally positioned behind his/her back, weighing on the base 16 and balancing it.
  • this belt 11 is also shown, which is intended to hold the child when performing the washing: advantageously this belt 11 is the same safety belt 11 shown in fig. 4, it extends between the supports 5 and it passes alternatively in front of the backrest 3 or in front of the rear face 4, depending on how the device 1 is used.
  • a variant relates to the shape of the base 16 of the pedestal 17, which comprises two or more deployable supporting arms.
  • the curved hooking arm 10 is provided to be coupled so as to be moved to the body 2, such that it can be displaced with respect to the latter, always with movements along the Y plane of symmetry of the device.
  • a further, optional, improvement is shown in figs. 10 and 11: it is a safety device 30 comprising three pillows 31, 32, 33 made of soft plastic material and preferably of waterproofing material (such as neoprene or the like) that are connected to each other by a base structure 35.
  • Two symmetrical pillows 31, 32 are opposite each other, are spaced apart and inclined such to form a sort of side walls, while the central pillow 33 makes a soft support for the child's head, as shown in an operating phase of fig. 11.
  • the safety device 30 can be fastened to the device 1 in different manners, but preferably the two are simply fitted on one the other, given the complementarity of the corresponding shapes.
  • auxiliary fastening means arranged in the concave areas of the single curved hooking arm 10 and/ or of said curved supports 7A, 7B.
  • these auxiliary fastening means are intended to increase the friction with the surface of the washbasin (in this case they are preferably felts and/ or pads made of soft rubber), or to make a real grasping or attachment action (in this case they are preferably suction cups or the like).
