Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of the prosthetic structure 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIG. 4 to 6, the support structure 300 may be detachably installed inside the heap sheet 100, and the shape of the heap sheet 100 may be maintained. The support structure 300 may include a support member 310 having a flat upper surface and a cushion member 320 coupled to a lower portion of the support member 310.

The support member 310 may define the upper portion of the support structure 300 and may be manufactured, for example, by foaming a polyurethane foam. Since the support member 310 is foam-molded so as to have a predetermined rigidity, the support member 310 can maintain the outer shape of the hip sheet 100 when the support member 310 is disposed inside the hip sheet 100.

The upper surface of the support member 310 may be formed flat. Accordingly, when the support structure 300 is disposed inside the heap seat 100, the support structure 300 can keep the top surface of the heap sheet 100 flat, thereby providing a seat for the infant to sit on .

Meanwhile, the front part of the support member 310 may be formed in a curved shape protruding outwardly, and the rear part may be curved inwardly. Therefore, when the support member 310 is viewed from above, the support member 310 may be formed in a generally crescent shape as a whole. In this case, the term "rear" means one side facing the abdomen of the wearer, and "front" means the other side opposite to the rear.

The rear portion of the support member 310 is formed in a concave shape to be drawn inward and a buffer member 120 may be provided between the support member 310 and the abdomen of the wearer when the wearer wears the carrier 1 have. Accordingly, when the wearer wears it, the shape of the support member 310 allows the hip sheet 100 to be entirely attached to the wearer's abdomen, so that the pressure exerted on the wearer's abdomen from the hip sheet 100 is dispersed . In addition, the cushioning member 120 provided at the back of the hip seat 100 can further relieve the pressure applied to the abdomen of the wearer.

Meanwhile, the cushion member 320 may be provided under the support member 310. The cushioning member 320 may be provided to relieve the pressure applied to the abdomen of the wearer when the infant seats on the heap sheet 100. In other words, when the infant seats on the heap sheet 100, the heap sheet 100 is pressed downward by the weight of the infant so that the lower portion of the heap sheet 100 is positioned on the rear side (that is, To press the abdomen of the wearer. Therefore, the child carrier 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can reduce the pressure feeling on the abdomen of the wearer by disposing the cushion member 320 under the inner space of the hip seat 100.

The cushion member 320 may be manufactured to have a relatively lower rigidity than the support member 310 and may be manufactured using natural rubber, synthetic resin, or the like. For example, the cushion member 320 may be manufactured by foam-molding a polyurethane sponge.

The support member 310 and the cushion member 320 can be mechanically coupled. A protrusion 311 is formed on the bottom surface of the support member 310 and a protrusion 311 is formed on the top surface of the cushion member 320 so that the protrusion 311 is inserted into the recess 321, The cushion member 320 and the support member 310 can be engaged with each other. The protruding portion 311 is formed on the bottom surface of the support member 310 and the recess 321 is formed on the upper surface of the cushion member 320. The protrusion 311 may be formed on the upper surface of the cushion member 320, And a lead-in groove 321 may be formed in the bottom surface of the support member 310.

Further, the cushion member 320 and the support member 310 can be joined by an adhesive (see Fig. 7). When the cushion member 320 is adhesively coupled to the support member 310, the first protrusions 312 may be formed on the bottom surface of the support member 310 to expand the adhesion area, The second unevenness 312 may be formed. At this time, the first irregularities 311 provided on the bottom surface of the support member 310 and the second irregularities 312 provided on the upper surface of the cushion member 320 may be matched with each other. The first irregularities 311 and the second irregularities 312 may be formed in various designs as long as they conform to each other.

It is also possible to join the supporting member 310 and the cushion member 320 by directly foaming a polyurethane sponge to the bottom surface of the supporting member 310. Although the embodiments in which the support member 310 and the cushion member 320 are physically and chemically bonded have been described above, these coupling methods may be properly combined and combined.

The cushion member 320 may be provided so as to have a reduced cross-sectional area toward the lower side. In addition, a first curved portion 322 and a second curved portion 323 may be formed on the lower end portion and both side portions of the cushioning member 320. The curvature of the first curved portion 322 and the second curved portion 323 can be variously changed according to design requirements. For example, the second curved portion 323 is formed by a curved line having a radius of curvature R of 20 mm .

Thus, the cushion member 320 has the first curved portion 322 and the second curved portion 323 at the rim portion, that is, the lower end portion and the both side portions, so that the rim area of the cushion member 320 contacting the abdomen of the wearer The pressure applied to the abdomen of the wearer can be dispersed.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that such changes or modifications are within the scope of the appended claims.
