That is, the connecting portion 115b of the leg portion operating lever 115 rotates, while the movement of the slider 114 is restricted in the sliding direction by the guide wall 111a.
- the left and right protrusions 114c of the slider 114 move in the long holes 115c according to the rotational position of the corresponding connecting portion 115b, so that the rotating motion of the connecting portion 115b is not hindered. Is converted into a sliding motion of the slider 114.
- the shape of the long hole 115c of the connecting portion 115b is determined so that this movement conversion is performed smoothly.
- the fixing member 117 attached integrally with the slider 114 becomes the through hole 102 a of the first cylindrical member 102 and the through hole of the second cylindrical member 103.
- the length of the leg 101 can be adjusted by being pulled out from 103a.
- the right hand holds the first tubular member 102, but the left hand can be used freely.
- the leg portion 101 is adjusted to a desired length by sliding the second tubular member 103 with respect to the first tubular member 102 using, for example, the left hand, and the first tubular member 102 is penetrated.
- One through hole 103a of the hole 102a and the second cylindrical member 103 is aligned.
- the slider 114 slides in the direction of the leg 101 by the urging force of the coil spring 116.
- the fixing member 117 of the leg operation lever 115 is inserted into the through hole 102a of the first cylindrical member 102 and the through hole 103a of the second cylindrical member 103, and the operation tab 115a of the leg operation lever 115 is Return to the original position. That is, it can be said that the slider 114 can slide between a fixed position where the expansion and contraction of the leg 101 is fixed and a release position where the fixing is released.
- the connecting section 115 b moves in the direction away from the leg 101 to move the slider 114. Slide to the release position.
- the connecting part 115b is moved in a direction approaching the leg 101 to slide the slider 114 to the fixed position.
- the positioning mechanism 110 described above can grip one leg 101 and slide the slider 114 to the release position with one hand, so that the other hand can be used freely.
- the length of the leg 101 can be adjusted with a simple operation while gripping the other of the two. Further, in order to adjust the length of the leg 101, first, the operation tab 115a of the leg operation lever 115 must be operated upward, so that the infant is supposed to operate the operation tab of the leg operation lever 115. Even if the step 115a is stepped on from above, the slider 114 does not unintentionally enter the release position.
- the material of the main components was mentioned suitably, the material of the component which was not mentioned is mainly formed by integrally molding resin materials, such as a polypropylene and a polyacetal.
- resin materials such as a polypropylene and a polyacetal.
- other materials or manufacturing methods may be employed.
