Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an inflatable swimming ring, specifically a newborn safety swimming ring. Background Technology

[0002] Newborn swimming is an early aquatic healthcare activity for newborns conducted by professionally trained caregivers. It allows newborns to move independently in amniotic fluid, mimicking the environment of the womb. The gentle caress of the water stimulates and promotes brain development, improves coordination, aids digestion and absorption, promotes weight gain, and enhances immunity. Therefore, newborn swimming offers numerous benefits.

[0003] Currently, newborn swimming rings are single-piece, enclosed inflatable neck rings. To use them, the non-inflated neck ring is first placed around the newborn's neck, then inflated and placed in the pool. The newborn's weight allows the inflatable neck ring to float and move freely in the water. However, because newborns move freely while weightless, the consequences are: 1. Increased risk of cervical spine injury. Newborns under three months old are relatively vulnerable, especially their cervical spine. Wearing an inflatable neck ring while floating on the water means the neck bears the weight of the entire body, and the twisting motion of the body below the neck can easily cause traction damage to the cervical spine; 2. Increased risk of tracheal compression. Because the inflatable neck ring is a single, enclosed ring, it is placed directly on the neck from the head. If it is too tight, it can affect the newborn's normal breathing and may cause suffocation. If the neck ring is too loose, it may come off, posing a danger. 3. Most importantly, there is a protrusion in the neck called the carotid sinus, about the size of a soybean on each side. You can clearly feel the pulse by gently pressing on it. If a newborn is accidentally pressed down by an inflatable neck ring, it can cause a slowed heart rate, a drop in blood pressure, and in severe cases, even shock. Therefore, improvements and refinements to newborn swimming rings are necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation, this utility model provides a newborn safety swim ring. In addition to the inflatable swim ring above the shoulders, the non-inflatable half-body garment at the bottom of the inflatable swim ring can also wrap around the newborn's chest, which not only ensures the safety of the newborn swimming freely, but also avoids traction damage to the cervical spine.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a newborn safety swim ring, comprising:

[0006] A semi-open inflatable swim ring and a semi-open wrap garment connected to the inflatable swim ring; a swim ring locking strap and a wrap garment locking strap are respectively provided at both ends of the inflatable swim ring and the wrap garment;

[0007] The inflatable swim ring has flat air bladders at both ends, and the height of the inflatable swim ring gradually decreases from the back of the head to the ears, extending into the flat air bladder area.

[0008] The transition end between the inflatable swim ring and the wrap-around garment has an arm-wearing hole. At the edge of the arm-wearing hole on the wrap-around garment is a semi-circular inflation chamber that is connected to the inflatable swim ring.

[0009] In this invention, the arm-wearing hole is composed of an inflatable swim ring portion and a garment-wrapping portion; the arm-wearing hole is circular or elliptical in shape.

[0010] In this invention, a soft fleece is provided on the inner side of the semi-circular air cavity edge of the arm-wearing hole on the garment piece.

[0011] In this invention, the semi-open inflatable swimming ring is a non-integral molded annular closed body, with the flat-shaped air bladders at both ends overlapping to form an approximately circular body.

[0012] In this invention, the wrapping sheet is a non-airbag body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Utilizing a semi-open inflatable swim ring and a semi-open swaddle piece, it not only facilitates easy dressing and undressing but also allows newborns to swim in the same manner as existing inflatable neck rings, maintaining free movement of the newborn's limbs. Simultaneously, the semi-open swaddle piece provides safe and stable support to the newborn's upper chest, avoiding the buoyancy of the inflatable swim ring concentrating on the cervical spine, which could cause traction and injury, as well as compression of the trachea and carotid sinus, thus preventing the risk of suffocation and shock.

[0016] Figure 3 Figure 1 is a reference diagram of the usage status. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 2The newborn safety swim ring shown includes a semi-open inflatable swim ring 1 and a semi-open wrapping garment 3 connected to the inflatable swim ring 1; a swim ring locking strap and a garment locking strap are respectively provided at both ends of the inflatable swim ring 1 and the wrapping garment 3. In this embodiment, the swim ring locking strap includes a swim ring hook locking strap 8 at one end of the inflatable swim ring 1 and a swim ring hook fastener 5 at the other end. When the inflatable swim ring 1 is wrapped around, it is fixed by the swim ring hook locking strap 8 at one end and the swim ring hook fastener 5 at the other end. In this embodiment, the garment locking strap includes a garment hook locking strap 7 at one end of the wrapping garment 3 and a garment hook fastener 6 at the other end. Similarly, when the wrapping garment is wrapped around, it is fixed by the garment hook locking strap 7 at one end and the garment hook fastener 6 at the other end. In this invention, the two ends of the inflatable swim ring 1 are flat-shaped air bladders. Because of the use of a flat-shaped air bladder, after the flat-shaped air bladders at both ends of the inflatable swim ring 1 are overlapped and fixed, the thickness of the air bladder formed by the flat-shaped air bladder is close to the thickness of the inflatable swim ring 1, which facilitates the locking of the swim ring strap. As described above, the height of the inflatable swim ring 1, located from the back of the head to the ears, gradually decreases and extends to the flat-shaped air bladder. Therefore, by gradually decreasing in height A and extending to the flat-shaped air bladder, when the inflatable swim ring 1 is wrapped into a ring, the height A of the inflatable swim ring 1 protects the newborn's head and ears, preventing the newborn's head from tipping over during swimming and providing auxiliary head support and stability. In this invention, an arm-wearing hole 4 is provided at the transition end between the inflatable swim ring 1 and the wrapping garment 3. A semi-circular inflation chamber B is located at the edge of the arm-wearing hole 4 on the wrapping garment 3, and this semi-circular inflation chamber B on the arm-wearing hole 4 communicates with the upper part of the inflatable swim ring 1. The aforementioned wrapping garment 3 is not an air bladder. After the newborn wears it, the wrapping garment 3 is located on the newborn's chest. The semi-circular inflation chamber B of the arm-wearing hole 4 in this embodiment is used to avoid pressure on the armpit. By inflating a portion of the air, the buoyancy of the inflatable swim ring 1 reduces the traction force on the armpit, thus maintaining armpit comfort. This new invention uses the arm-wearing hole 4 located at the transition end between the inflatable swim ring 1 and the wrapping garment 3. During use, the inflatable swim ring 1 creates buoyancy above the newborn's shoulders. By using the newborn's arms to pass through the inflatable arm-wearing hole 4 between the inflatable swim ring 1 and the wrapping garment 3, the traction formed by the inflatable swim ring 1 is distributed across the wrapping garment 3 and the inflatable arm-wearing hole 4, preventing injury to the newborn's neck. In this way, the safety of the newborn's buoyancy is ensured.

[0019] As described above, the arm-wearing hole 4 is composed of an inflatable swim ring 1 and a covering piece 3. The arm-wearing hole 4 can be either circular or elliptical in shape.

[0020] In the above, a soft fleece cloth (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner side of the semi-circular air cavity B of the arm wearing hole 4 on the wrapping garment piece 3.

[0021] In the above description, the semi-open inflatable swim ring 1 is a non-uniformly molded annular closed body, with flattened air bladders at both ends overlapping to form an approximately circular shape. The semi-open design of the inflatable swim ring 1 facilitates putting on and taking off the swim ring.

[0022] The key to implementing this utility model is the use of a safety swim ring composed of a swaddle blanket and an inflatable swim ring. The swaddle blanket and armholes are used to secure the swim ring to the newborn's chest and armpits. This distributes the buoyancy generated by the inflatable swim ring across the swaddle blanket and armpits, preventing it from acting on the newborn's neck. The inflatable swim ring primarily provides buoyancy and protects the newborn's head.

[0023] Instructions for using an inflatable swim ring:

[0024] 1. Take a semi-open inflatable swim ring 1, inflate it through the inflation nozzle 2 on the swim ring 1, close the inflation nozzle 2, put the inflatable swim ring 1 into the water, check for leaks before wearing it.

[0025] 2. Place the newborn 9 on the inflatable swimming ring 1 in a flat position, then insert the newborn 9's arms through the arm-wearing holes 4 to straighten the newborn's body position;

[0026] 3. After overlapping the two ends of the inflatable swim ring 1, attach and secure the swim ring hook and fastener 8 on one side of the inflatable swim ring 1 to the swim ring hook and fastener 5 on the other side; then attach and secure the garment piece hook and fastener 7 on one side of the garment piece 3 to the garment piece hook and fastener 6 on the other side, overlapping and sealing to form a complete inflatable swim ring. Further check whether the inflatable swim ring 1 and the locking straps of the garment piece 3 are securely locked.

[0027] 4. Place the newborn 9 in the pool, and have the caregiver observe and watch over him / her at the poolside until the swimming session is over.
