Description

Introduction / Problem

[0001] In public shower facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, or campsites, the hygienic conditions are often not ideal for young children. The floors of such showers are not only wet and slippery, but can also be contaminated with bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. This is particularly problematic for parents of toddlers or babies, as it is almost impossible to shower their child safely and hygienically without placing or holding them on the floor, which is often impractical and unsafe.

[0002] Currently, there is no solution that allows parents to shower their babies comfortably and hygienically in public shower facilities without direct contact with the floor. In addition, many parents have physical limitations when it comes to safely holding their child for extended periods. This increases the risk of accidents or infection with pathogens.

[0003] The need for a practical, safe and mobile shower aid for babies in public facilities is clearly evident and forms the basis for this invention. Description State of the art

[0004] In the area of ​​baby hygiene, various aids already exist to support parents when bathing or showering their children. These include bath inserts for babies, shower chairs for toddlers, and inflatable or foldable baby bathtubs. However, these products are primarily designed for use at home and offer only limited support in public showers.

[0005] While some portable baby bathtubs or shower chairs are transportable, they are often cumbersome and don't offer a direct solution to the specific challenges encountered in public facilities, such as inadequate floor hygiene or a lack of space and flexibility. In particular, there is a lack of solutions that keep the baby in an elevated position while showering, avoiding contact with the floor while also making showering easier for parents.

[0006] Current shower aids for adults, such as folding seats or shower rails in public showers, are also not tailored to the needs of babies. They are generally too large, too heavy, and do not provide the necessary safety for the little ones.

[0007] In summary, existing products offer only limited functionality when it comes to showering babies hygienically and safely in public shower facilities. A mobile, ergonomic, and baby-specific solution that is easy to transport and hygienically impeccable is currently missing on the market. Description of the invention / solution with details

[0008] The presented invention, the Baby Shower Chair, is a mobile, portable unit that allows parents to shower their baby safely and hygienically in public showers without the child touching the floor. The Baby Shower Chair represents an innovative solution to prevent the baby from coming into contact with potentially contaminated surfaces while simultaneously making handling easier for parents. Object of the invention

[0009] The object of the invention is to provide a mobile, portable shower device that allows parents to wash their baby safely, comfortably, and hygienically in public showers. The baby is to be held in an elevated position during the showering process to avoid contact with contaminated surfaces while ensuring safety and comfort for both the child and the parents. Solution to the task

[0010] The invention solves the problem described above by providing a mobile baby shower chair which comprises the following features: Ergonomic Seat: The shower chair features an ergonomically designed seat made of water-repellent, non-slip, and antimicrobial material. This seat is specifically designed for the safe positioning of a baby or toddler.

[0011] Safety belts: The device is equipped with adjustable safety belts that securely secure the baby in the seat during the shower. The belts are padded and adjustable to the child's size for maximum comfort and safety.

[0012] Height-adjustable mount: The device is mounted on a height-adjustable frame that allows the baby to be showered comfortably and without bending over. The frame can be attached to the shower wall with a suction cup system or placed on a stable, non-slip base.

[0013] Mobile and portable design: The shower chair is lightweight and foldable or disassembled, making it easy to transport and store. This makes it ideal for use in public shower facilities such as swimming pools, campsites, or gyms.

[0014] 360-degree rotation mechanism: The seat of the device is rotatable, so that the baby can be easily showered from all sides without the child having to be removed from the device or the parents having to change their position. Advantages of the invention:

[0015] Hygiene: The invention avoids direct contact of the baby with potentially contaminated floor surfaces in public showers.

[0016] Safety: The adjustable safety belts and sturdy construction ensure the child's safety during the shower.

[0017] Comfort for parents: Thanks to the height adjustment and the rotating seat, the baby can be showered in an ergonomically favorable position, which reduces back pain and fatigue for parents.

[0018] Lightweight and portable: The compact and foldable design makes the device easy to transport and can be taken anywhere. Short description of the characters
