Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a covering device for a child carrier unit, particularly to a canopy for a child carrier unit, and to a child carrier unit including a covering device (e.g., a canopy). Background Technology

[0002] Arrangements for sheltering children sitting in strollers or other child carriers are known. Such shelter arrangements are typically used to protect seated children from sun, wind, or rain. The shelter structure forms a sheltered space in which the seated child is protected. Shelter structures exist where the sheltered area is variable, for example, by folding and unfolding the shelter in a corrugated manner.

[0003] Known systems have drawbacks such as complex structure or cumbersome operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide an improved configuration of a covering device that overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages.

[0005] This objective is achieved by the canopy as described in the independent claim. Advantageous alternatives are derived from the dependent claims and the following description.

[0006] A covering device for a child carrier unit is disclosed. The covering device may be a canopy or a part thereof. The covering device includes a flexible cover for at least partially covering a child. The covering device may be part of a canopy for the child carrier unit or a separate additional component for the child carrier unit, such as a rain cover, for example, a rain cover mounted on an existing canopy of the child carrier unit.

[0007] A connection arrangement structure is also disclosed, which is configured to releasably secure at least three different connection portions of a flexible cover to each other. The connection arrangement structure is configured to establish a first connection portion and different second connection portions of the connection portions by means of a connection mating member disposed on the flexible cover. The first and second connection portions share a common connection mating member. Furthermore, a shielding structure and a canopy including a flexible cover and a connection arrangement structure are disclosed.

[0008] In some embodiments, different connecting portions of the flexible shroud include end portions of the collapsible shroud portion or are disposed on end portions of the collapsible shroud portion, such as on end portions of functional layers, such as mesh fabric providing enhanced air ventilation, or flexible windows. One connecting portion of the different connecting portions of the flexible shroud may include an edge portion of a cover layer or may be disposed on an edge portion of a cover layer disposed on the collapsible shroud portion. The cover layer may be a cover flap.

[0009] In some implementations, when the first connection is established, the flexible cover is in a collapsed configuration in which the collapsible portion of the flexible cover is in a collapsed state.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the first and second connecting portions are released, the flexible cover is in an extendable configuration in which the collapsible portion of the flexible cover can be extended and used for shielding purposes, and the cover is in an openable configuration in which the cover can be at least partially deployed from the collapsible portion.

[0011] In some implementations, the cover layer of the collapsible shroud portion is in a closed state when the second connection is established. For example, the flexible shroud may be covered by cover flaps.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connecting mating members are configured to establish a continuous connection along a predetermined length of the connecting portion. The predetermined length may be a portion of the total length of the connecting portion. In other embodiments, the predetermined length may be the entire available length of the connecting portion. In some embodiments, the connecting mating members may be positioned along the entire length of the connecting portion.

[0013] In some implementations, the connection arrangement is configured to engage the connecting portions via interlocking mating members. Interlocking can be provided by actively locking the mating members.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connection arrangement includes a zipper arrangement having zipper mating members forming the connection mating members and two zipper pulls. The zipper mating members can be zipper tapes or zipper strips.

[0015] In some implementations, the zipper pull is permanently attached to the zipper mating parts, making the zipper arrangement inseparable or non-detachable. For example, the ends of the zipper mating parts can be connected to each other, such as by sewing them together.

[0016] In some embodiments, a first zipper pair is assigned to a first end portion of the collapsible shroud portion. A second zipper pair may be assigned to a free edge portion of the cover flap. A third zipper pair may be assigned to a second end portion, for example, to the second end portion of the collapsible shroud portion. A first zipper pull of the two zipper heads may be configured to mate with both the first and third zipper pairs. The first zipper pull of the two zipper heads may be configured to permanently mate with both the first and third zipper pairs. A second zipper pull of the two zipper heads may be configured to mate with both the first and second zipper pairs. The second zipper pull may be configured to permanently mate with both the first and second zipper pairs.

[0017] In some implementations, the connecting mating part is a magnetic connection or a hook and loop connection such as a Velcro connection.

[0018] In some embodiments, the canopy further includes a support structure for supporting the flexible cover. The support structure may include two or more lateral members supporting the flexible cover. A first lateral member for supporting the flexible cover may be disposed in the region of a first end portion where the collapsible cover portion is located. A second lateral member for supporting the flexible cover may be disposed in the region of a second end portion where the collapsible cover portion is located. For example, the first and second lateral members may be detachably coupled to the flexible cover in the regions where the first and second end portions of the collapsible cover portion are located. The flexible cover may include an attachment portion for attaching the canopy to a child support unit. The lateral members are pivotally coupled to the attachment portion. For example, if the first and second lateral members are pivotally coupled to the attachment portion and support the flexible cover in the manner previously mentioned, pivoting the first and second lateral members toward each other converts the collapsible cover portion into a collapsed state, while pivoting the first and second lateral members away from each other converts the collapsible cover portion into an extended state.

[0019] In addition, a child carrier unit may be provided. The child carrier unit can be a stroller. The child carrier unit may include a frame assembly with wheels. The wheels support the frame assembly on the ground. The child carrier unit may also include a seat, bed, or cradle for supporting the child. The child carrier unit may also include a canopy according to one of the embodiments and configurations described above. The canopy may be permanently attached to the child carrier unit or may be detachably attached to the child carrier unit. Attached Figure Description

[0046] A first zipper mating member 51 is disposed on the second engagement section 22, for example, connected to a first end portion 14.1 of the third cover portion 14 and / or connected to a second end portion 13.2 of the second cover portion 13. The first zipper mating member 51 may be connected, for example, by sewing to a first end portion 16.1 of the cover layer 16 and / or a first end portion 15.1 of the functional layer 15.

[0047] The second zipper pair 52 is secured to the second end portion 16.2 of the cover layer 16, for example, by sewing it to the rear edge portion of the cover layer 16.

[0048] The third zipper pair 53 is secured (e.g., sewn) to the rear support and / or secured (e.g., sewn) to the second end portion 15.2 of the functional layer 15.

[0049] Zipper mating parts may include zipper tape or zipper strips. Zipper mating parts are all examples of possible connecting mating parts that allow for a continuous connection along a predetermined length of the connecting portion. However, the invention is not limited to such connecting mating parts, and other connecting portions can be implemented.

[0050] The first zipper pull 31 can be coupled to the first zipper mating member 51 and the third zipper mating member 53, such that moving the zipper pull from one end of the zipper mating members 51 and 53 to the other end releases or establishes the first connection 30 between the first zipper mating member 51 and the third zipper mating member 53. In this embodiment, as... Figure 4 As shown, the first connection 30 is established when the first pull head 31 is moved to the right side of the canopy.

[0051] When the first connection 30 is established, the second engagement section 22 is fixed to the third engagement section 23 and / or the rear support, and the third cover portion 14, including the functional layer 15 and the cover layer 16, collapses or folds (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 4 The first end portion 14.1 and the second end portion 14.2 of the first cover portion 14 are folded toward each other and connected to each other.

[0052] When the first connecting portion 30 is released, the flexible cover 11 is in an extendable configuration in which the collapsible cover portion 14 can extend and move the joining section 22 forward away from the third joining section as... Figure 2 The location shown can be used for concealment purposes.

[0053] The first zipper pair 51 and the third zipper pair 53 may be secured to each other at their end portions to form a closed loop, or may be configured to prevent the first zipper pull 31 from being removed from the first zipper pair 51 and the third zipper pair 53.

[0054] The second zipper pull 41 can be connected to the second zipper mating member 52 and the third zipper mating member 53, such that moving the second zipper pull 41 from one end of the zipper mating members 52 and 53 to the other end releases or establishes a second connection 40 between the second zipper mating member 51 and the third zipper mating member 53. In this embodiment, as... Figure 9 As shown, the second connection 40 is established when the second pull head 41 is positioned on the right side of the cover device 10.

[0055] When the second connection 40 is established, the cover layer 16 completely covers the functional layer 15, and the second end portion 16.2 of the cover layer 16 is fixed to the third joint section 23 and / or the rear support (see...). Figure 3 In other words, the cover is provided as an air ventilation channel or window in the functional layer 15, and the cover layer 16 is tightly fitted. The cover layer 16 is in a closed state.

[0056] When the second connector 40 is released, the second end portion 16.2 of the cover 16 is loose, and the cover 16 can be at least partially removed from the air vent 15 and into an open configuration, for example by flipping the cover around its fixed first end portion 16.1, as shown in example. Figure 6 As instructed.

[0057] It should be noted that the fixing portion may be disposed on the inside of the cover layer 16 at the first end portion 16.1, thereby allowing the cover layer 16 to be fixed in an open configuration. The second zipper pair 52 and the third zipper pair 53 may be fixed to each other at their end portions, or may be configured to prevent the second zipper pull 41 from being removed from the second zipper pair 52 and the third zipper pair 53.

[0058] As is clearly understood from the above, the first connecting part 30 and the second connecting part 40 share a common connecting pair, namely the third zipper pair 53. The first zipper pull 31 can permanently engage with the third zipper pair 53 and the first zipper pair 51. The second zipper pull 41 can permanently engage with the third zipper pair 53 and the second zipper pair 52.

[0059] The covering device 10 may include a support structure for supporting the flexible cover 11 and for giving the flexible cover 11 a predetermined cover shape. The support structure may include a plurality of support members, such as transverse members, for example U-shaped support members (such as hoops or brackets), and may include a front support member 20 and optionally a rear support member 23, the plurality of support members supporting the flexible cover 11 at engagement sections 21, 22. The support members may be pivotally coupled to the attachment portion 24, for example at their free end portions, in particular enabling the support members to pivot about one and the same pivot axis.

[0060] The attachment portion 24 is configured to be attached to the child carrier unit 1, such as a stroller or baby carriage. Figure 10An exemplary child carrier 1 with an attached cover 10 is shown. An attachment portion 24 may be configured to be detachably mounted to a frame assembly 2 of the child carrier 1. The attachment portion 24 may include a snap-fit ​​configuration that allows the attachment portion 24 to be clipped onto the frame portion. The cover 10 includes two attachment portions, one on each side of the cover 10. Wheels 3 are supported to the lower portion of the frame assembly 2 and support the frame assembly 2 on the ground. The frame assembly 2 includes a grip portion 4 configured for a user to grip for manipulating the child carrier 1. In this embodiment, a seat 5 is supported between the side portions of the frame assembly 2. The cover 10 is configured as a canopy and is attached to the side portions of the frame assembly by means of the attachment portions 24, extending over and across the seat 5. A pivot axis defined by the attachment portions 24 extends in the lateral direction of the child carrier 1.

[0061] The following will refer to Figures 4 to 9 A method for operating the covering device 10 is described.

[0062] Figure 4 A left-side view of the cover device 10 installed on the frame assembly 2 of the child support unit 1 is shown. The cover device 10 is in a collapsed and closed configuration, in which the third cover portion 14 collapses and establishes a first connection 30. Two pull tabs 31, 41 are arranged in corresponding first positions on the left side of the canopy. The second connection 40 is released.

[0063] exist Figure 5 In the shown state, the first zipper pull 31 is moved to a second position on the opposite side of the cover device 10. Therefore, the first zipper pull 31 and the second zipper pull 41 are arranged on opposite ends of the third zipper mating member 53. In this state, both the first connecting portion 30 and the second connecting portion 40 are released or opened. Therefore, in this state, the cover device 10 can extend by unfolding the third cover portion 14. Simultaneously, the cover layer 16 is loosely disposed on the functional layer 15 and can be removed from the functional layer 15 when separated from the third zipper mating member 53.

[0064] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The diagram shows the state in which the cover layer 16 is flipped over and placed on the second cover portion 13. The functional layer 15 is uncovered, and air can pass through the mesh.

[0065] Figure 8 and Figure 9The diagram shows a state in which the second zipper pull 41 is moved to a second position on the opposite side of the cover device 10 (i.e., close to the first zipper pull 31). In this state, the second connection 40 is established or closed by engaging the second zipper mating member 52 with the third zipper mating member 53. The cover layer 16 is now fixedly arranged across the functional layer 15 at the first end portion 16.1 and the second end portion 16.2, and is thus fixedly integrated into the flexible cover 11.

[0066] Although in the above embodiment the second zipper mating member is disposed on the cover layer, it should be noted that alternative configurations using different connecting portions are possible. For example, an extendable cover device can be provided by providing a first connecting mating member on the first joining section 21, a second connecting mating member on the second joining section 22, and a third common connecting mating member on the third joining section 23. In this way, a first connecting portion in which only the third cover portion 14 collapses and a second connecting portion in which both the second cover portion 13 and the third cover portion 14 collapse can be established.

[0067] In summary, it should be noted that terms such as "comprising" are not intended to exclude the provision of additional elements or steps. It should also be noted that "a" or "an" does not exclude a plurality. Furthermore, features described in conjunction with different embodiments can be combined with each other as needed. It should also be noted that reference numerals in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. Moreover, while at least one exemplary embodiment has been presented in the foregoing overview and detailed description, it should be understood that numerous variations exist.

[0068] It should also be understood that one or more exemplary embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability, or configuration in any way. Rather, the foregoing overview and detailed description will provide those skilled in the art with a convenient roadmap for implementing the exemplary embodiments, and it should be understood that various changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements described in the exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope set forth in the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
