DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a temporal support for stabilizing an infant's head, which is mounted on a baby carrier used as an aid for moving the infant while carrying the child on the back or holding it in front. The present invention relates to a baby carrier to which a member is attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a baby carrier of this type is generally provided with a head support member above a back support portion of a carrier body for accommodating an infant body in order to stabilize the head of the infant. Many are used. Such a headrest supports the fallen infant's occipital region, prevents it from falling backwards, and protects the neck of an infant who is not fully developed.

[0003] However, the head support member can prevent the head support member from falling backward, but cannot prevent the head support member from falling laterally.

[0004] Therefore, various baby carriers having a headrest member capable of supporting not only the back of the head but also the side of the head have been proposed. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 7-3350 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 8-242980, a wide occipital support member and a temporal support member are integrated so as to prevent them from falling backward and laterally. The head pat is described. These temporal support members are used with their distal ends fixed to a shoulder belt or the like by a fastener such as a snap.

[0005]

By the way, the temporal support member is required only when the infant is sleeping, not when the child is awake. In addition, when the neck becomes firmer with the growth of the infant, the stability of the head can be ensured only by the occipital support during sleep. Thus, the temporal support members are only required during infancy and during sleep.

However, in the above-mentioned support member, since the occipital support member and the temporal support member are integrated, only the temporal support member cannot be removed.
The presence of temporal support when it is not needed can hinder the movement of an active and curious infant and obstruct the gaze, which is very uncomfortable for the infant. Especially in the summer months, it can be hot. Also, releasing the locking with a shoulder belt or the like can secure a certain degree of free movement, but it still has the same effect as blocking the line of sight. In addition, if the support member with the firm attachment is hung near the face without being fixed, there is a danger that the infant will be directly hurt, or that it will be caught by something and indirectly hurt.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] In view of such a background, an object of the present invention is to provide a baby carrier with a temporal support member that can be attached only when necessary.

There is no risk of coming off. Next, the left and right shoulder belts (4) of the right and left abutment pieces (3) and (3) of the temporal support member (1) are snapped (5a).
8) The engaging pieces (3) and (3) are fixed by engaging with the counterpart snap (5b) of (48).

FIG. 6 shows a temporal support member (1) with a piggyback.
Is shown, and the stability of the infant's head is determined by the contact piece (3) of the head support member (46) and the temporal support member (1).
With (3), it is held on the side also on the rear.

On the other hand, when the temporal support member (1) is not used, the snap (5a) of the contact piece (3) is removed from the shoulder belt (48), and the base part (2) is attached to the head support member (46). And stored in the pocket (49). In the storage state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the temporal support member (1) can be completely removed from the headrest member (46), so that the movement and the line of sight of the infant are not hindered. Further, since the temporal support member (1) is sewn and connected inside the pocket (49), it is not lost even when not in use, and can be immediately taken out and mounted when necessary.

In the baby carrier (41) illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, the carrier body (42) is formed in a bag shape and can be used for carrying on the back and holding the body. It is suitably used for holding an undeveloped infant under one year old, and particularly suitable for holding an infant of an age requiring the temporal support member according to the present invention. However, the baby carrier with a temporal support member of the present invention is not limited to other configurations as long as the head support member is provided above the back support. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the baby carrier (41), and may be a so-called open type without a front contact portion, or may be exclusively for carrying on or holding the front. In addition, about the constitution of the shoulder belt, the presence or absence of the waist belt,
The invention is not limited to those illustrated in these figures.

The temporal support member (1) of this embodiment has a pocket (4) at the base end (2a) of the base (2).
9) These are sewn in and integrated with each other.
It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the components are detachably connected by fasteners such as fasteners and snaps. By detachably connecting the heads, when the heads are integrally connected, the stable support of the infant head can be obtained and the loss can be prevented as in the case of the sewing-integrated head. In addition to the above effects, there is an advantage that the temporal support member can be removed from the baby carrier for washing, and unnecessary items need not be carried when the temporal support member is no longer used due to the growth of an infant. Further, if the temporal support member is removed from the pocket, the pocket can be used as a general-purpose pocket, so that it is not wasted.

The mounting position of the pocket (49) is not particularly limited as long as it is a carrier body (42) for accommodating an infant. However, in view of the fact that an area for mounting the pocket (49) large enough to accommodate the temporal support member (1) can be secured and that the mounting to the headrest member (46) is easy, as in this embodiment. It is recommended to provide the backrest (43) in the backrest.

Further, in the above-mentioned baby carrier with a temporal support member, a groove (50) is provided in the head support member (46), while a hooking tape (4) is provided in the temporal support member (1). The temporal support member (1) is attached to the head support member (46) by hanging the tape (4) in the groove (50).
It is attached to. According to such a configuration, since the hanging tape (4) does not directly touch the infant's head, there is no danger that the temporal support member (1) will come off due to the movement of the infant, and the head support member (46) Cushioning properties are not impaired. Moreover, the attachment and detachment of the temporal support member (1) is easy. However, the present invention does not limit the mounting mechanism of the temporal support member (1) to this embodiment. Examples of other mounting mechanisms include a mechanism for mounting with a hook-and-loop fastener, a snap, a fastener, and the like, and a mechanism for forming a base portion in a bag shape and mounting it over a headrest member.

Further, the engaging mechanism for fixing the abutment piece (3) of the temporal support member (1) to the shoulder belts (48) and (48) is not limited to the snap shown in this embodiment. Known materials such as buckles and hook-and-loop fasteners can be used as appropriate. It is preferable that the effective length of the patch (3) can be adjusted according to the growth of the infant. For example, the temporal support member (1) of this embodiment
Then, snap (5a) in the length direction of the contact piece (3) by 2
It can be adjusted by attaching it to the step.

[0023]

As described above, in the baby carrier with a temporal support member according to the present invention, the temporal support member comprises a base portion and pieces on both side edges of the base portion. The headpiece can be easily attached to the headrest by engaging the contact pieces with the hooks. Since the temporal support member is detachable from the baby carrier and can be attached only when necessary, the infant head can be prevented from falling down to the side at the time of attachment, thereby protecting the infant. If it is removed when not in use, it will not obstruct the movement and gaze of the infant. In addition, since the temporal support member is coupled to a storage portion provided on the carrier body that stores the infant at the base end side of the base portion, not only can it be stored in the storage portion when not in use, but also can be stored in the storage portion. , There is no risk of loss. In addition, it can be immediately taken out and attached at the time of use.

In the case where the storage portion is provided in the back support portion of the carrier body, the temporal support member can be stored adjacent to the head support member, which is a mounting location, so that the user can easily perform the attaching / detaching operation. Become. In addition, the backrest does not hinder the movement of the infant or the user.

As a mechanism for attaching the head support member of the temporal support member, a hooking tape is provided on the base portion of the temporal support member, and a groove having an upper end opening is provided in the head support member. When the fastening tape is configured to be hung in the groove, the temporal support member can be easily attached and detached, and since the fastening tape does not directly touch the infant's head, the temporal support member is moved by the infant. There is no risk of coming off.

Further, when the temporal support member is detachably connected to the storage portion, the temporal support member can be detached from the baby carrier itself as well as being detached from the headrest member when not in use. And by removing, only the temporal support member can be washed freely. Further, if the temporal support member is not used with the growth of the infant, it is not necessary to carry unnecessary objects, and the storage unit can be diverted as a general-purpose storage case.
