Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an infant horizontal feeding aid device. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, the demand for portable childcare aids in families with infants is increasing. In traditional childcare methods, parents typically hold their babies in their arms the entire time they are out, a posture that requires continuous use of the muscles in the arms, shoulders, back, and waist. Maintaining this posture for extended periods can easily lead to muscle fatigue, soreness, and even strain. This is especially problematic for mothers recovering postpartum, as frequent physical exertion can slow down their recovery process.

[0003] In addition, infants need to eat frequently, and traditional feeding methods require mothers to remain seated while breastfeeding. This restriction further exacerbates the inconvenience of movement. In public places or outdoor environments, mothers often need to find a fixed seat to complete breastfeeding, which greatly reduces the flexibility and convenience of going out.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements to the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the infant horizontal feeding aid device of this utility model.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the infant horizontal feeding assistance device provided according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a main support piece 10, a secondary support piece 20, a first connecting strap 30 and a second connecting strap 40.

[0035] The main support piece 10 is oval-shaped and is used to support the baby's body.

[0036] The secondary support piece 20 is located on one side of the main support piece 10 and is formed in an arc shape to support the baby's head.

[0037] One end of the first connecting strip 30 is connected to one end of the main support piece 10.

[0038] One end of the second connecting strap 40 is connected to the other end of the main support piece 10. The length of the second connecting strap 40 is adjustable, and its adjustment structure can be the existing backpack strap adjustment structure on the market, which is composed of two D-ring buckles. This is a common structure on the market and will not be described in more detail here. The other end of the second connecting strap 40 is detachably connected to the other end of the first connecting strap 30, so that the support piece can be diagonally crossed across the chest of the human body through the first connecting strap 30 and the second connecting strap 40.

[0039] When the main support piece 10 is fixed to the chest of a human body by the first connecting strap 30 and the second connecting strap 40, the support piece is bent into a "C" shape to form a horizontal placement surface for placing the infant.

[0040] Based on the above, the elliptical design of the main support piece 10 allows the device to naturally form a horizontal C-shaped curved surface after fixation, simulating the environment of a mother's embrace, enhancing the baby's sense of security, and improving breastfeeding efficiency. The arc-shaped structure of the secondary support piece 20 precisely supports the head, effectively distributing pressure and preventing the baby's neck from being suspended or excessively tilted back, reducing the risk of choking on milk, while also protecting spinal development. The second connecting strap 40 is adjustable in length and detachable, adapting to parents of different body types and ensuring the device is stable and fits snugly against the chest. The diagonal fixation distributes the baby's weight, reducing the burden on the arms and waist, and extending the comfortable holding time. This device, through structural innovation, balances baby safety, parental comfort, and feeding convenience, and is especially suitable for scenarios requiring prolonged horizontal holding for feeding, demonstrating significant practical value.

[0041] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the main support piece 10 is provided with a breathable mesh 11 in the middle, and the breathable mesh 11 is formed into an ellipse.

[0042] In this way, the oval-shaped breathable mesh 11 conforms to the physiological curve of the baby's back, accurately covers the main heat dissipation areas, effectively promotes air circulation, reduces the stuffiness between the back and the supporting surface, avoids sweating or skin dampness caused by prolonged horizontal holding, and reduces the risk of skin problems such as eczema and prickly heat.

[0043] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, an angle adjustment component 21 is further included, which is connected between the main support piece and the secondary support piece 20 to adjust the tilt angle of the secondary support piece 20.

[0044] Thus, by adjusting the tilt angle of the secondary head support, the height difference between the baby's head and body can be flexibly controlled. This helps maintain a position where the head is slightly higher than the chest to prevent choking, and also adapts to the care needs of premature infants or infants with special health conditions, reducing the risk of aspiration. The angle adjustment function allows for fine-tuning of the head support angle according to the baby's neck development stage or real-time status (such as wakefulness / sleep), avoiding neck dangling or excessive backward tilting due to a fixed angle, reducing muscle fatigue, and extending the safe holding time.

[0045] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the angle adjustment component 21 includes an adjustment belt 211 and a plurality of connecting loops 212.

[0046] One end of the adjustment band 211 is connected to the side of the secondary support piece 20.

[0047] Multiple connecting loops 212 are respectively disposed on the outer surface of the main support piece and are spaced apart along its length. The multiple connecting loops are disposed near the side of the second connecting band 40, and one end of the adjusting band 211 is connected to one of the connecting loops 212.

[0048] Thus, by cooperating with the adjusting strap 211 and the multiple spaced connecting loops 212 on the outer surface of the main support piece 10, the tilt angle of the secondary support piece 20 can be adjusted in stages. Users can select the most suitable fixing point of the connecting loops 212 according to the infant's neck development stage (e.g., from the soft neck support stage to the neck muscle strengthening stage) or real-time positioning needs (e.g., anti-choking position, comfortable sleeping position), achieving stepless adjustment from 0° to the maximum safe angle, significantly improving the device's compatibility with individual differences. Preferably, the same adjusting component 21 can also be provided on the other side of the secondary support piece 20 for even better adjustment.

[0049] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the other end of the adjusting belt 211 is provided with a connecting buckle 213, the connecting loop 212 is provided with a connecting hole 214, and the connecting buckle 213 is detachably provided in the connecting hole 214.

[0050] Thus, by providing a detachable connecting buckle 213 at the other end of the adjusting belt 211 and a connecting hole 214 on the connecting loop 212, a convenient and detachable connection between the adjusting belt 211 and the connecting loop 212 is achieved, which allows users to quickly install, remove or adjust the adjusting belt 211 according to actual needs, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the product.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the other end of the first connecting strap 30 is connected to a female buckle 31, and the other end of the second connecting strap 40 is connected to a male buckle 41, wherein the male buckle 41 and the female buckle 31 are inserted into each other.

[0052] Thus, the interlocking structure of the female buckle 41 and the female buckle 31 is simple, and the connection and disassembly actions are quick. Parents can quickly and easily fix or remove the device from their chest without complicated operations, saving time and effort. This greatly improves the convenience of use, especially when it is necessary to frequently pick up or put down the baby. The specific structure of the female buckle 41 and the female buckle 31 can be a common plastic snap fastener, which is not described in detail here.

[0053] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the secondary support sheet is provided with a skin-friendly layer 22.

[0054] In this way, given the delicate and sensitive nature of infant skin, the skin-friendly layer 22 on the surface of the secondary support sheet directly reduces friction when in contact with the infant's skin. Just as soft cotton clothing is more comfortable than rough fabric, the skin-friendly layer 22 makes the contact area between the infant's head and the support sheet feel smoother and more comfortable during horizontal feeding, avoiding discomfort caused by friction and improving the infant's cooperation during feeding.

[0055] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, a flexible layer 12 is provided on the edge of the surface of the main support piece, and the flexible layer 12 extends circumferentially along the main support piece.

[0056] Thus, during horizontal feeding, the infant may sway to some extent due to the parent's movements, and the flexible layer 12 at the edge of the main support can act as a cushion. When the infant's body comes into contact with the edge of the support, the flexible layer 12 can absorb some of the impact force, preventing the infant from being injured by colliding with the hard edge of the support and reducing the risk of injury.

[0057] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the middle part of the first connecting strip 30 is greater than the width of both ends of the first connecting strip 30.

[0058] Understandably, when feeding an infant horizontally, the first connecting strap 30 needs to withstand a certain amount of tension, especially where the force is concentrated on the area connecting the main support piece 10 to the chest. The widened design in the middle of the first connecting strap 30 can effectively distribute the tension from the support piece and the infant's weight. When in contact with the body, it can increase the pressure area on the shoulders, reducing discomfort such as marks and pain caused by excessive local pressure after prolonged use.

[0059] Preferably, in one embodiment of this invention, a removable head-fixing pad, made of memory foam or silicone, can be provided on the secondary support piece 20 to automatically shape according to the baby's head shape. This prevents the baby's head from shaking, reduces neck pressure, adapts to different head shapes, and improves comfort.

[0060] Preferably, in one embodiment of this invention, an ultraviolet disinfection indicator light can be added to the main support plate. When the device is exposed to sunlight, the indicator light illuminates to indicate the disinfection status. This reminds parents to use natural light for disinfection, reducing the use of chemical disinfectants and making it more environmentally friendly.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a foldable sunshade may be provided above the main support piece 10. One end of the sunshade extends above the baby's head and is made of sun-blocking fabric. It is fixed by magnetic attraction or buckle to prevent sunlight from shining directly on the baby's face.

[0062] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
