Description

baby carrier

The present invention relates to a baby carrier.

A baby carrier is a device that safely supports an infant and reduces the burden on the user when carrying the infant while moving or doing some work while holding the infant. A baby carrier is capable of supporting the weight and posture of an infant by a seat portion on which the infant's buttocks are placed, and a waist belt that fixes the seat portion.

Such a baby carrier has a tightening unit (corresponding to length adjustment means) for adjusting the length around the waist belt when the user wears the waist belt. The waist belt is composed of a first waist belt and a second waist belt, and this tightening unit uses an adjuster to connect the wire connecting the first waist belt and the second waist belt. Tuck it in and adjust the length around the waist belt. The tightening unit is arranged at the center of the back when the baby carrier is worn (for example, see Patent Document 1).

International publication number WO2020/122347 publication

In the baby carrier of Patent Document 1, the wire that adjusts the length of the waist belt when worn by the user is located approximately in the center of the user's back, so the user operates the adjustment tool to adjust the length of the waist belt. Even if the seat is tightened, a gap is likely to form between the seat and the user's abdomen near the connection between the seat and the waist belt, making it impossible to bring the seat into close contact with the user's abdomen, making it easy for the seat to sway and stabilize the infant. The problem is that it is not possible to provide support. If the waist belt is tightly tightened so as not to create this gap, the seat may press against the abdomen, causing pain in the abdomen.

When using a baby carrier, the user may place the seat in the center of the abdomen, or shift the seat from the center of the abdomen to either the left or right and hold the baby carrier while holding something with one free arm. There are times when I have to work. If the seat is shifted from the center of the abdomen, the position of the tightening unit will also be shifted, making it difficult to bring the seat into close contact with the abdomen, making it impossible to stably support the infant.

Additionally, an adjustment tool for adjusting the length of the waist belt is provided at one location on the right side. For example, if the user is left-handed, there is also the problem that adjusting the length of the waist belt (tightening operation) using the adjustment tool on the right side is cumbersome.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve at least one of these problems, and provides a waist-worn belt that can stably support an infant while reducing the burden on the user. The present invention aims to realize a baby carrier that can easily perform length adjustment operations (tightness adjustment operations).

The first waist belt part 14 includes a first length adjusting means 17 for adjusting the length of the first waist belt part 14 disposed near the left side of the seat part 11, and a first length adjusting means 17 for adjusting the length of the first waist belt part 14, which is arranged near the left side of the seat part 11, and It has a receiving part 35 on one side of a connector 16 that connects the first waist belt part 14 and the second waist belt part 15. The receiving part 35 is a component on one side of the buckle. The first length adjusting means 17 includes a first moving part 37 on the seat part 11 side of the first length adjusting area 19, a first adjusting tool 20 fixed to the other end side, and a first moving part 37. The first adjustment tool 20 is constructed of a wire 38 as a connecting member that is spanned between the first adjuster 20 and the first adjuster 20 . Note that the connecting member is not limited to the wire 38, and a link mechanism or the like may be used. It is also possible to pull the wire 38 by hand to fix the wire in a predetermined position.

The first adjustment tool 20 has a dial 39 that can be rotated clockwise, and is fixed to the first waist belt part 14 via a fixing cloth material 40. The first moving part 37 has a cylindrical wire support part 41, and the wire 38 is inserted through the wire support part 41. The wire support portion 41 supports the wire 38 in a slidable manner. The first length adjustment region 19 is a region of the first waist belt portion 14 whose length is shortened or returned to its original length by the first length adjustment means 17. The first length adjustment region 19 is preferably covered with a cover 42 made of cloth. One side of a plane fastener 43 is provided on the back surface of the first waist belt part 14 on the front end side. The length adjustment (adjustment of the tightness) of the first waist wearing belt portion 14 by the first length adjustment means 17 will be explained with reference to FIG. 3.

Next, the configuration of the second waist belt portion 15 will be explained. The second waist belt part 15 includes a second length adjusting means 18 for adjusting the length of the second waist belt part 15 disposed near the right side of the seat part 11, and a second length adjusting means 18 for adjusting the length of the second waist belt part 15, which is arranged near the right side of the seat part 11. It has an insertion part 45 on the other side of the connector 16 that connects the first waist belt part 14 and the second waist belt part 15. The insert part 45 is a component of a buckle to be attached to the receiving part 35.

The wire support part 41 supports the wire 38 so that it can slide. The second length adjustment region 21 is a region of the second waist wearing belt portion 15 where the length is shortened or returned to the original length by the second length adjustment means 18. The second length adjustment area 21 is preferably covered with a cover 42 made of cloth. The other side of the plane fastener 43 is provided on the back side of the second waist belt part 15. The length adjustment (adjustment of the tightness) of the second waist wearing belt portion 15 by the second length adjustment means 18 will be explained with reference to FIG. 3.

(How to wear baby carrier 1)
A method of wearing the baby carrier 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. First, place the waist support part 23 of the waist belt 12 against the abdomen, and place the tip of the first waist belt part 14 on the second waist belt part 15 so that the baby carrier 1 does not slip off. are overlapped and temporarily fixed with a plane fastener 43. Next, the insert part 45 is inserted into the receiving part 35 (see the part indicated by the connector 16 in FIG. 1). The insert part 45 is attached to the tip of the fixing belt 48 , and the other end of the fixing belt 48 is fixed near the second adjuster 22 of the second waist belt part 15 .

The insert part 45 is configured to be able to adjust the length of the fixing belt 48. After attaching the insert part 45 to the receiving part 35, by pulling the end 48a of the fixing belt 48, the length of the fixing belt 48 can be adjusted. The tightening force can be adjusted. Note that if a sufficient tightening force can be obtained by the plane fastener 43, the fixing belt 48 and the connector 16 can be omitted. In addition, if the waist belt 12 is simply tightened with the flat fastener 43 and the fixing belt 48, a gap is likely to be formed at the connection portion between the seat part 11, the first waist belt part 14, and the second waist belt part 15. Therefore, after the baby carrier 1 is worn on the waist, the waist belt 12 is further tightened using the first adjuster 20 and the second adjuster 22 in order to suppress the gap.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a method for adjusting the length of the first waist belt portion 14. Adjusting the length of the first waist belt part 14 means adjusting the length of the first waist belt part 14 in advance so that the seat part 11 does not wobble when the baby carrier 1 is worn and an infant is placed on the seat part 11. It is to tighten the. FIG. 3(a) is a diagram before the length adjustment, and FIG. 3(b) is a diagram when the first waist belt portion 14 is tightened.

Immediately after the baby carrier 1 is worn, the first adjuster 20 is in a free state, and as shown in FIG. 3(a), the wire 38 is loosened because no tensile force is acting on it, and the first waist belt portion is loosened. There is no change in the first length adjustment region 19, which is a part of the garment 14, and it is generally in the stretched state before being worn. Therefore, once the baby carrier 1 is put on, the dial 39 is rotated clockwise until an appropriate tightening force is achieved so that the seat portion 11 does not wobble.

As shown in FIG. 3(b), when the dial 39 is rotated clockwise, the first adjustment tool 20 winds the wire 38 inside. Since the wire 38 is annularly connected between the wire support section 41 and the first adjustment tool 20, the distance between the first moving section 37 and the first adjustment tool 20, that is, the first length adjustment region Reduce 19. This makes it possible to reduce the length of the first waist-worn belt portion 14 being worn, that is, the length around the waist-worn belt 12. In the first length adjustment region 19, the distance in the length direction is reduced by forming vertical wrinkle-like unevenness in the thickness direction over the entire width.

The first adjuster 20 has a mechanism that can rotate in one direction and cannot rotate in the opposite direction, for example, a ratchet mechanism. Although not shown, the first adjustment tool 20 includes a ratchet gear whose teeth are inclined in one direction, a pawl member that allows rotation of the ratchet gear in one direction and prevents rotation in the opposite direction, and a ratchet gear It has a dial 39 that can be rotated. The dial 39 is something that is held and rotated by the hand (finger).

Both ends of the wire 38 are fixed to a part of the ratchet gear. When the dial 39 is rotated in a direction opposite to the direction in which the teeth are inclined, the pawl member swings and the ratchet gear becomes rotatable, winding the wire 38 and adjusting the distance between the first moving part 37 and the first adjusting tool 20. Shrink. When an attempt is made to rotate the dial 39 in the opposite direction, a pawl member enters the teeth of the ratchet gear and prevents the dial 39 from rotating in the opposite direction. Therefore, even if you release your hand from the dial 39, the wire 38 will not loosen and the first length adjustment area 19 will not return to its original length because the claw member is inserted into the teeth of the ratchet gear. The belt 12 will not loosen.

The first adjustment tool 20 is configured to be able to switch between a state in which the ratchet gear is rotated, that is, a state in which the wire 38 can be wound, and a state in which the wire 38 can be loosened. This switching can be performed by engaging and disengaging the dial 39 with the check gear. In this example, when the dial 39 is pushed toward the first waist belt part 14, the dial 39 and the ratchet gear engage, making it possible to wind the wire 38, thereby moving the dial 39 to the first waist belt part 14. 14 in the thickness direction, the wire 38 is unwound. That is, the configuration allows a switching operation in which the dial 39 is pushed in to engage the ratchet gear, and the dial 39 is pulled out to release the engagement with the ratchet gear. Note that if the dial 39 is not operated, the state before the operation is maintained.

Although the second length adjustment means 18 is different from the first length adjustment means 17 in its orientation with respect to the seat portion 11, the configuration itself is the same, so a detailed explanation will be omitted. For example, the first adjustment tool 20 is replaced with the second adjustment tool 22, the first length adjustment area 19 is replaced with the second length adjustment area 21, the first moving part 37 is replaced with the second moving part 46, and the dial 39 is replaced with the second adjusting part 22. The explanation can be made by replacing it with the dial 47.

However, the inclination direction of the teeth of the ratchet gear of the second adjustment tool 22 is opposite to the inclination direction of the teeth of the ratchet gear of the first adjustment tool 20. In other words, by rotating the dial 47 counterclockwise, the wire 38 can be wound around and the length of the second length adjustment region 21 can be shortened. Further, like the first adjuster 20, the second adjuster 22 can be switched between a state in which the ratchet gear is rotated, that is, a state in which the wire 38 can be wound, and a state in which the wire 38 can be loosened. The configuration allows for

When the baby carrier 1 is worn on the user's body, the first adjustment tool 20 is placed on the left side of the user with the seat 11 in between, and the second adjustment tool 22 is placed on the right side of the user. The first adjustment tool 20 is configured to be rotatable clockwise, and the second adjustment tool 22 is configured to be rotatable counterclockwise. This means that when the user attempts to bring the seat 11 into close contact with the abdomen, the user simultaneously rotates the

dials

39 and 47 in the same direction on the left and right to bring the seat 11 into contact with the abdomen with an appropriate tightening force. Can be done. Since the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 are arranged near the seat 11, for example, when the seat 11 is shifted to the left or right, or when the user is not limited to being right-handed or left-handed, It becomes possible to easily adjust the tightening force. Furthermore, if there is a difference in the tightness between the left and right sides, the user can also adjust the tightness between the left and right sides.

(Configuration of baby carrier 2)
In addition, in the baby carrier 1 described above, the first length adjusting means 17 and the second length adjusting means 18 described above move the first moving part 37 and the second moving part 46 into the first length adjusting area, respectively. 19 or the second length adjustment area 21 on the seat part 11 side, and the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 are arranged at a position away from the seat part 11. However, conversely, a configuration is also possible in which the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 are arranged on the seat part 11 side, and the first moving part 37 and the second moving part 46 are arranged in a position away from the seat part 11. It is. This will be explained as a second example with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a partial plan view showing the baby carrier 2 according to the second example in an expanded state. Note that FIG. 4 shows the surface that becomes the outer side when the baby carrier 2 is worn by the user, and the torso support part 13 is omitted. Here, we will mainly explain the differences from the baby carrier 1. Components common to the baby carrier 1 are given the same reference numerals as in FIG. The waist belt 12 is composed of a first waist belt 53 extending to the left and a second waist belt 54 extending to the right when worn by the user.

The first waist belt part 53 has a first length adjusting means 50 that adjusts the length of the first waist belt part 53 located near the left side of the seat part 11. The first length adjustment means 50 includes a first adjustment tool 20 fixed to the seat portion 11 side of the first length adjustment region 19, and a first moving portion disposed at the right end of the first length adjustment region 19. 37, and a wire 38 as a connecting member spanned between the first moving part 37 and the first adjusting tool 20.

The first adjustment tool 20 has a dial 39 that can be rotated clockwise, and is fixed to the first waist belt part 14 via a fixing cloth material 40. The first moving part 37 has a cylindrical wire support part 41, and the wire 38 is inserted through the wire support part 41. The wire support portion 41 supports the wire 38 in a slidable manner.

When the dial 39 is rotated clockwise, the first adjustment tool 20 winds the wire 38 inside. Since the wire 38 is annularly connected between the wire support part 41 and the first adjustment tool 20, the distance between the wire support part 41 and the first adjustment tool 20, that is, the first length adjustment region 19 Shrink. This makes it possible to reduce the length of the first waist-worn belt portion 14 being worn, that is, the length around the waist-worn belt 12. In the first length adjustment region 19, the distance in the length direction is reduced by forming vertical wrinkle-like unevenness in the thickness direction over the entire width. As explained above, the first length adjusting means 50 has the same function as the first length adjusting means 17 described above, except that the positions of the first adjusting tool 20 and the first moving part 37 are different. are doing.

Similar to the first length adjusting means 50, the second length adjusting means 51 has a different arrangement direction of the first adjusting tool 20 and the first moving part 37 from the second length adjusting means 18 described above. It has the same configuration and functions. The inclination direction of the teeth of the ratchet gear of the second adjustment tool 22 is opposite to the inclination direction of the teeth of the ratchet gear of the first adjustment tool 20. Therefore, by rotating the dial 47 counterclockwise, the wire 38 is wound in and the length of the second length adjustment region 21 can be shortened. Further, like the first adjuster 20, the second adjuster 22 can be switched between a state in which the ratchet gear is rotated, that is, a state in which the wire 38 can be wound, and a state in which the wire 38 can be loosened. The configuration allows for

Although not shown, it is preferable that the first length adjusting means 17 and the second length adjusting means 18 of the baby carrier 2 also be provided with a cover 42 (see FIG. 2).

The baby carrier 1 of the present invention described above includes a seat part 11 including a seat surface 10 on which an infant's buttocks are placed, and a first waist belt that extends leftward from the seat part 11 when worn by a user. part 14, and a second waist belt part 15 extending in the right direction. The first waist belt part 14 has a first length adjusting means 17 that adjusts the length of the first waist belt part 14 arranged near the seat part 11 side. The second waist belt part 15 has a second length adjusting means 18 that adjusts the length of the second waist belt part 15 arranged near the seat part 11 side. The first length adjustment means 17 has a first adjustment tool 20 that can perform a length adjustment operation, and the second length adjustment means 18 has a second adjustment tool 22 that can perform a length adjustment operation. There is. The first adjuster 20 and the second adjuster 22 are configured to be able to independently adjust the length of the first waist belt part 14 and the second waist belt part 15 (adjust the tightness). There is.

With the above configuration, the baby carrier 1 can tighten the seat 11 in a well-balanced manner on the left and right sides in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the seat 11 and the first waist belt 14 and the second waist belt 15. It becomes possible. As a result, the vicinity of the connecting portion between the seat portion 11, the first waist belt portion 14, and the second waist belt portion 15 can be brought into close contact with the user's abdomen, making it possible to stably support the infant. becomes. In addition, the baby carrier 1 can tighten the seat 11 in a well-balanced manner on the left and right sides near the connection portion between the seat 11 and the first waist belt 14 and the second waist belt 15. It becomes possible to reduce the feeling of partial pressure in the abdomen.

With this configuration, a gap between the user's abdomen and the user's abdomen is created on both sides of the seat portion 11 at the joints between the seat portion 11 and the first waist belt portion 14 and the second waist belt portion 15. In other words, the tightness can be adjusted in a well-balanced manner on the left and right sides, and the posture of the seat 11 when the infant's buttocks are placed on it can be stabilized.

In the baby carrier 1, the first moving part 37 is arranged on the seat part 11 side of the first length adjustment area 19, and the second moving part 46 is arranged on the seat part 11 side of the second length adjustment area 21. There is. With such a configuration, it is possible to bring the first length adjustment region 19 and the second length adjustment region 21 closer to the seat portion 11. This allows the seat 11 to be brought closer to the user's abdomen in a well-balanced manner at a position closer to the seat 11, whereas the length adjustment region of Patent Document 1 is placed on the user's back. This makes it possible to maintain the posture of the seat 11 in a well-balanced manner even when the seat 11 is worn with the seat 11 shifted from side to side.

In the baby carrier 2, the first adjustment tool 20 is arranged on the seat 11 side of the first length adjustment area 19, and the second adjustment tool 22 is arranged on the seat 11 side of the second length adjustment area 21. has been done. With this configuration, the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22, which are the tightening operation parts, are arranged closer to the seat 11, so that the user can feel comfortable regardless of the position of the seat 11. It becomes possible to further facilitate the tightening operation.

The first moving part 37 and the second moving part 46 have a wire support part 41 that supports the wire 38 as a connecting member in a slidable manner. It is configured so that it can be rolled up. The first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 easily adjust the length of the waist belt 12, that is, the degree of tightening, in the first length adjustment region 19 and the second length adjustment region 21 by winding the wire 38. It is possible to adjust to.

In the

baby carriers

1 and 2, the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 have

dials

39 and 47 that can be gripped and rotated with fingers. The first adjuster 20 and the second adjuster 22 are configured such that the winding directions of the wire 38 are opposite to each other. If the winding direction of the first adjusting tool 20 is clockwise, the winding direction of the second adjusting tool 22 is counterclockwise. In this way, when the user puts on the

baby carriers

1 and 2 and performs the tightening operation, the user can rotate the first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 with both hands with the same ergonomic sense of direction. This makes it possible to perform tightening operations without being conscious of left and right.

The first adjustment tool 20 and the second adjustment tool 22 can wrap the wire 38 when the

dials

39 and 47 are pushed into the first waist belt part 14 or the second waist belt part 15 in the thickness direction. Thus, when the

dials

39, 47 are pulled away from the first waist belt part 14 or the second waist belt part 15 side in the thickness direction, the wire 38 is unwound. With such a configuration, the first adjuster 20 and the second adjuster 22 can be easily switched between two states: a state in which tightening is possible and a state in which tightening is released. Further, the first adjuster 20 and the second adjuster 22 can maintain two states, a tightenable state and a tightened release state, even if the user releases the hand.

As explained above, the

baby carriers

1 and 2 of the present invention are capable of stably supporting an infant while reducing the load on the user, and are capable of adjusting the length of the waist belt 12 (adjusting the tightness). adjustment operations) can be easily performed.
