Description

The utility model relates to the field of manufacturing sewing products for newborns and children aged up to six months or more and can be used as a means of protecting a baby from low and high temperature influences of the external environment, as an envelope for a newborn, who is placed there in emergency situations for the purpose of taking the baby out of a dangerous place.

Due to their age, newborn children are one of the most vulnerable groups of people and require special conditions during evacuation by medical workers and capable patients. The impact of any negative external factors resulting from an accident or the carelessness of an evacuator must be minimal and not detrimental to the child. Today, to ensure convenient transportation of newborns, the market offers consumers such evacuation equipment as rescue bags and cameras (less commonly, evacuation aprons and drags). The newborn is placed in these bags in ordinary diapers, and one must take into account the fact that cold weather persists in Russia for quite a long time. Thus, a child may become hypothermic when transported to a safe place.

A children's walking envelope (RU2667487, publication: 2018.09.20) is known from the prior art, containing lower and upper parts connected along one edge and a zipper for connecting/disconnecting the other edges of the lower and upper parts, and the lower part of the envelope is longer than the top, characterized in that the upper part of the lower part contains at least one shaped cutout and is made with the possibility of transforming the upper part of the lower part into a hood, and the upper part of the upper part is made elongated with the possibility of obtaining a flap for closing/opening the child's face and with the possibility of fixing position of the upper part of the upper part above the child's face, while the upper parts of the lower and upper parts contain means of connecting and fixing their relative positions in the form of hinged or slotted loops and buttons, buttons, hooks, magnetic fasteners, zippers, adhesive tapes, ties or tapes .

To rescue newborns in emergency situations, rescue bags and cameras (less commonly, evacuation aprons and drags) are used [FastEscape Evacuation Apron [Electronic resource] // http://fastescape.ru/fartuk.html ; Evacuation of newborns [Electronic resource] // https://www.spiderrescue.ru/evakuaciya-novorozhdennyh.html ; Evacuation bag (cradle) FastEscape [Electronic resource] // https://dostupnayasreda.su/p/670699703-noname-evakuacionnaya-sumka-lyulka-fastescape/ ; Children's rescue cameras DSK Samospas [Electronic resource] // https://samospas.ru/catalog/sistemy-spaseniya-i-samospaseniya/detskie-spasatelnye-kamery#:~:text ; Children's protective camera (KZD) "Chance" [Electronic resource] // https://www.npk-phz.ru/catalog/shans/fire_in_house/child_defence/#gt1 ; Evacuation sled Medsled [Electronic resource] // https://rosopeka.ru/catalog/evakuatsionnye_sani_medsled_art_sre21842.html ; Evacuation sled-stretcher MedSled [Electronic resource] // http://euroace.ru/evakuatsionnyye-sani-nosilki-medsled].

These devices are available in rescue vehicles, but are not always present in sufficient quantities in perinatal centers due to the high price per unit of product [Anisimkova A.A. Review of means for evacuating newborns in case of fires and emergencies in the buildings of perinatal centers / Anisimkova A.A., Onikienko V.V., Lisanevich M.S. // Fires and emergencies: prevention, liquidation - 2022. - No. 4. - P. 84-90.]. The baby is placed in the bag in regular diapers. It is necessary to take into account the fact that cold weather persists in Russia for quite a long time. Thus, a child may become hypothermic when transported to a safe place.

Currently, fire-resistant evacuation envelopes for newborns have been developed based on the non-woven material “Holofiber Soft NG” (Moscow, Termopol LLC [Gegelsky, O.P. Nonwoven materials Holofiber for Gegelsky’s sleeping bag and evacuation envelopes for newborns / O.P. Hegelsky, V.V. Ivanov, M.S. Lisanevich / Butlerov Communications - 2022. T. 72. No. 11. - P. 60-67.; Fire-resistant evacuation envelopes for newborns were developed by scientists from KNITU [Electronic resource] // RIA Moda: https://riamoda.ru/news/50650.html (accessed September 26, 2022).] Products have such properties as protection from cold for all climatic zones of the Russian Federation, environmental friendliness and hygiene with 1st safety class, as well as protection from extreme exposure to elevated temperatures (ignition) with a 3rd flame retardation index.

Rescue envelopes based on Holofiber nonwoven material are resistant to radiation sterilization. Studies have been conducted to prove the preservation of the properties of the Hollofiber material after radiation sterilization, which is important in conditions of the spread of infectious diseases [Lisanevich M.S. Study of the effect of radiation sterilization on the non-woven material Hollofiber Lisanevich M.S., Galimzyanova R.Yu., Khakimullin Yu.N. ., Fedorova T.A., Mezentseva E.V., Ivanov V.V. News of higher educational institutions. Textile industry technology. - 2021. - No. 5 (395). - P. 94-101.]. Another feature of the product is the possibility of secondary and multiple processing (polyrecycling).

There is a known solution to the patent (RU217694U, published: 04/12/2023) for a transport-evacuation sleeping bag containing longitudinal textile stretcher belts with transverse handles, transverse textile stretcher belts with longitudinal handles, a bedding with a supporting surface, an inner surface located opposite each other, a blanket with an outer surface, a lower surface, located opposite each other, a hole for a person's face, a central longitudinal slot with a closing and opening unit, a right side slot for the right hand of a person with a right closing and opening unit, a left side slot for the left hand of a person with a left a closing and opening unit, the bedding and bedspread are attached to each other by means of seams made of sewing threads to form an embedded cavity, the shape and dimensions of which are designed to accommodate one person, the bedding and bedspread are formed by an external fire-retardant fabric, heat-protective synthetic filler and internal fabric, a heat-protective synthetic filler is placed between the external fire-retardant fabric and the internal fabric, which are placed opposite each other, characterized in that on each individual longitudinal handle a structural stiffening element is formed in the form of three sections of transverse stretcher textile tape, which is part of each individual longitudinal handles laid on top of each other and fastened together by means of seams made of sewing threads, in such a way that each subsequent section of the transverse stretcher textile tape is laid on the previous section of the transverse stretcher textile tape, while at the intersection of the longitudinal stretcher textile tapes with the transverse stretcher textile tapes, the latter are placed under longitudinal stretcher textile tapes and secured to each other by means of seams made of sewing threads, and sections of longitudinal stretcher textile tapes that do not contain transverse handles, as well as sections of transverse stretcher textile tapes that do not contain longitudinal handles, communicate with the supporting surface and secured to the bedding using seams made from sewing threads.

This bag protects well from fire and cold, but is structurally difficult to manufacture.

For convenience, the envelope design should be easy to unswaddle, which is important in emergency situations. The bag according to patent RU217694U does not have such qualities.

The closest analogue is a tow truck for removing infants from a fire zone (RU2419468, publication: 2011.05.27), made of durable, wear-resistant and fire-resistant fabric, in the form of a rectangular panel, characterized in that it contains front and rear aprons formed behind by bending the panel along the middle transverse line, the length of which is equal to the width of the rescuer’s body and in the middle of which there is a hole for the rescuer’s head, while the length of each apron is equal to the distance from the top of the rescuer’s shoulder to his knee and on each apron from the bottom to the waist two voluminous pockets are sewn .

Although this device is convenient for unwrapping, it provides quick evacuation, but does not protect the baby from open fire and cold.

In addition, it depends on the size of the rescuer’s body and is not universal.

The purpose of a utility model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prototype.

The technical result of the utility model is to provide protection for newborn children from fire and cold in emergency situations.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the claimed envelope for rescuing newborns in emergency situations is made of a panel containing a fire-retardant material, characterized in that the panel is made of three layers, where the outer layers are made on the basis of the Spanmelt material, and the inner layer is in the form nonwoven material Hollofiber SOFT NG.

Preferably, in the part of the envelope over which the baby's body and head are placed, a solid backing is placed between the non-woven material and the lower outer layer.

Preferably, the solid substrate is made on the basis of a Hollofiber HARD plate.

Preferably, the outer layers are made on the basis of Spunmelt material with a thickness of at least 0.1 cm, and the inner layer is made on the basis of Holofiber SOFT NG with a thickness of at least 1 cm.

Preferably, the envelope is formed in the form of a panel having a central part for accommodating the child's head and body, an upper covering part, side covering parts and a lower covering part.

It is acceptable that the envelope is formed in the form of a panel having a central part to accommodate the child’s head and body, an upper covering part, and side covering parts.

Preferably, Velcro is placed on one side of the envelope, and its counterpart is located on the other side.

It is acceptable that the sides of the envelope panel contain additional Velcro.

It is acceptable that Velcro is made on the head and bottom parts of the envelope.

It is acceptable that the inner layer contains two additional layers of nonwoven material Hollofiber SOFT NG.

Implementation of a utility model

The envelope for rescuing newborns in emergency situations is made of a panel containing fire-retardant material.

What is new is that (see Fig. 2) the panel is made of three layers, where the outer layers 1 are made on the basis of the Spanmelt material, and the inner layer 2 is in the form of a non-woven material Hollofiber SOFT NG, for example, with a density of 150 g/m ² .

To enhance protection, in that part of the envelope above which the child’s body and his head are placed between the non-woven material 2 and the lower outer layer 1, a hard substrate 3 can be placed (see Fig. 1).

The envelope can be made without a hard backing 3 for compactness and the use of additional means of carrying (aprons, carrying in emergency situations) (see Fig. 2).

An envelope with a hard backing (Fig. 3) is used for the purpose of holding a child in the envelope for a long time in his arms. The hard cover 3 ensures a straight and stable position for the child's body.

In addition, during evacuation, the rescuer holds the child with his hand from the back and tries to press his face to his body. Thus, the most vulnerable part of the child’s body is from the back and the back of the head.

The presence of a hard backing 3 on this side is an additional means of protecting the child from the effects of fire and cold.

In addition, the hard backing 3 makes it possible to quickly unswaddle the infant care envelope and also quickly swaddle for quick evacuation, since the presence of a hard backing makes it possible to unwaddle directly on the rescuer’s hands, or in extreme cases, the rescuer can do this even with one hand while the other holds the child’s body with his hand, orienting the position of the envelope so that the entire hard backing is located along the rescuer’s hand.

The solid substrate 3 can be made on the basis of the Hollowfiber HARD plate (see https://hollowfiber.ru/main/materialyi/sekcziya-3/xard). An example of using a substrate made of HolofiberHARD is possible with the following parameters: thickness 20-30 mm, density 500-900 g/ ^m2 .

The outer layers 1 can be made, for example, the outer layers are made on the basis of Spunmelt material with a thickness of at least 0.1 cm, and the inner layer is based on Holofiber SOFT NG with a thickness of at least 1 cm. The outer layers can also be made on the basis of flametex with a thickness not less than 1 cm.

The envelope itself can be made in different ways. For example, the envelope can be formed in the form of a panel having a central part 4 to accommodate the child's head and body. The central part 4 is located within the contour of the bending zone of the envelope fabric during swaddling. In addition to the central part 4, the envelope has: an upper covering part 6, side covering parts 5 and a lower covering part 7.

Also, the envelope can be formed in the form of a panel having a central part to accommodate the child’s head and body, an upper covering part, and side covering parts.

To fix the elements of the envelope, Velcro can be placed on one side of the envelope, and its counterpart can be placed on the other side.

The sides of the envelope panel may contain additional Velcro.

In addition, Velcro can be used on the head and bottom of the envelope.

You can use the envelope as follows (see Figs. 3, 4).

A child prepared for evacuation is placed in the central part of 4 envelopes.

The lower part 7 is bent to the central 5, tucking the baby’s legs.

The side covering parts 5 are folded towards the middle and the corresponding Velcro Velcro elements 8.1 and 8.2, attached to the side edges of the parts 5 of the envelope, are fastened.

The upper part 6 of the envelope is used to cover the head if the envelope does not use a hard backing (Figure 3).

In Fig. 3, the bottom and side parts of the envelope are supposed to be stitched at an angle of 90 degrees, the ends of the side parts, overlapping each other, each have one contact part of Velcro for quick fastening. The upper corner of the envelope is wrapped around the child's head without rigid fixation. The order of folding such an envelope is A→B→C→D according to Fig.3.

When using a solid backing (see Fig. 4), the upper corner of the envelope does not wrap around the child's head at all. The order of folding such an envelope is A→B→C according to Fig.4.

Thus, it can be seen that the claimed envelope allows for quick swaddling and unwrapping of the envelope for infant care, which in turn allows for quick evacuation.

The properties of the internal protective layer of Holofiber make it possible to protect the child from burns and cold.

According to the utility model, the envelope material is resistant even after radiation sterilization.

Since all disposable medical products must be sterilized, studies have been conducted that have shown that after sterilization, the consumer properties of the envelope remain at the same level.

In the design according to the utility model, the function of insulation and fire resistance is carried out by the inner layer of Holofiber.

The choice of a single inner layer of holofiber is determined by the density of the material to ensure thermal insulation down to -7°C, and the flame propagation index is 3 (does not burn out). If necessary, you can add up to three layers of Holofiber, which will provide thermal insulation down to -20°C.

Hollofiber SOFT NG is a fire-resistant calendered insulation for clothing and products with increased requirements for safety, labor protection and human health. Hollofiber material has an index of 3 for limited flame propagation and protects against the thermal risks of an electric arc. Does not melt under the influence of an open flame. With prolonged exposure to fire, it chars, but does not form a through hole. The fire-resistant properties of Hollofiber SOFT NG are guaranteed for the entire service life of the product.

It contains only fire-resistant and polyester fibers, thermally bonded without an adhesive binder.

The outer layers of the envelope based on the Spunmelt material are a fabric made from fiber-forming polymers (most often polypropylene). Spunmelt is produced using spunbond or spunbond technology, after which it is bonded using the method of spot heat fixation. Spunmelt is a coverable, protective layer for insulation against fiber migration, which allows you to extend the shelf life of the product. Spanmelt is also not exposed to open combustion, which saves the life not only of the child inside, but also of the person evacuating him.

In addition, Spanmelt has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, is elastic and hypoallergenic, resistant to double bending, and unaffected by organic solvents, alkalis and acids.

Thanks to these features, it is ideally suited for the inner layer that is in contact with the child’s body (hypoallergenic, hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties), as well as the outer layer (not susceptible to organic solvents, alkalis and acids).

The calculation of the envelope parameters should be based on the main overall dimensions of the newborn’s body, taking into account his natural lying position.

Examples of envelopes of different shapes are shown below.

In Fig. 5, the lower part of the structure involves grinding three layers: central, left and right. The left and right sides overlap each other in series and can have Velcro closure along the edge of the top layer of the envelope. The upper corner of the envelope is wrapped around the child's head without rigid fixation.

In the embodiment of the envelope as in Fig. 6, the lower part of the product is wrapped around the child’s legs and torso, after which the left side of the envelope is fixed to it using Velcro (two elements). The second fastener secures the right side of the envelope to the left side, occupying an intermediate position between the bottom and the right side (one element). Velcro is located along the edges of the bottom and right sides of the envelope for a secure fit. The upper corner of the envelope is wrapped around the child's head without rigid fixation.

In the embodiment of the envelope as in Fig. 7, the lower part of the structure involves stitching three layers: central, left and right. The left and right sides overlap each other in series and can have Velcro closure along the edge of the top layer of the envelope. The left and right parts of the envelope can have different configurations - straight bevel lines or smooth curves for ease of handling and placement of the child. The upper edge of the envelope is semicircular, wraps around the child’s head either without rigid fixation, or can also have a Velcro fastener in the center of the envelope.

In the embodiment of the envelope as in Fig. 8, the bottom and side parts of the envelope are ground along the edge in the area of the legs, forming a shape resembling half a cylinder. The left and right parts are fixed using a Velcro connection, and can be fixed both with an overlay of the edge and on the edge. The upper semicircular edge of the envelope can be folded over the child's head without rigid fixation, it can have stitching similar to the bottom, and it can be fixed with Velcro with side parts along the edge.

In the embodiment of the envelope as in FIG. 9, the bottom and side parts of the envelope are supposed to be sequentially superimposed on each other. Here, both partial stitching and alternate fastening of the left and right corners with Velcro can be provided, i.e. one clasp connects the bottom and left parts, and the second connects the left and right parts. The upper part of the envelope is folded along the middle line and stitched from the middle line to the edges, forming a hood.

In an embodiment of the envelope as in Fig. 10, the lower part of the envelope involves bending in the area of the child's legs with stitching of the side cut of the lower part to the beginning of the edges of the side parts to form a rectangular part of the envelope closed on all sides for the child's legs.

Then the bottom and sides of the envelope are supposed to be sequentially superimposed on each other. Here it is assumed that the left and right trapezoidal parts are alternately fastened with Velcro, i.e. one clasp connects the bottom and left parts, and the second connects the left and right parts. The upper part of the envelope is semicircular and wraps around the child’s head without a rigid fixation, or it can also have a Velcro fastener in the center of the envelope.
