Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a child physical experience set for experiencing the physical characteristics of a child. [Background technology]

[0002] It is said that it is important for adults to understand the body of a child in order to better interact with, nurse, care for, or raise children. Traditionally, adults have understood the body of a child by observing it.

[0003] In this case, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, adults can learn about the child's body through a model of the child's body. Alternatively, images of children can be used in pediatric nursing classes to understand children. Furthermore, adults can come into contact with children during practical training at nursery schools or kindergartens. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2004-102304 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] By the way, there is a big difference between the bodies of adults and children. However, adults cannot understand this difference by simply observing the bodies of children as described above.

[0006] As a result of extensive research, the inventors of the present application have discovered that by having an adult simulated experience of a child's body, the adult can fully understand the difference between their own body and that of a child.

[0007] The present invention was made based on the above findings, and its main object is to provide a child body experience set that enables adults to simulate the experience of a child's body. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In other words, the child body experience set of the present invention is a child body experience set for an adult to simulate the experience of a child's body, and is characterized by comprising a head reproduction member that reproduces the child's head with the adult's head, a wrist reproduction member that reproduces the range of motion of the child's wrist with the adult's wrist, a finger reproduction member that reproduces the length of the child's fingers with the adult's hand, a stride reproduction member that reproduces the child's stride with both legs of the adult, and a sole reproduction member that reproduces the soles of the child's feet with the adult's soles.

[0009] In this way, the head, wrist, finger length, stride and sole of a child are reproduced on the adult body, so that an adult can have a simulated experience of a child's body. As a result, an adult can understand the difference between his or her own body and that of a child. In particular, according to the present invention, an adult can experience the entire body of a child from the head to the soles of the feet at once, and can understand the difference between an adult's body and a child's body in terms of the entire body. Therefore, an adult can nurse, care for, or raise a child while paying attention to the difference between an adult's body and a child's body.

[0010] When comparing the heads of children and adults, the head-to-body ratio, hearing ability, and field of vision of children are significantly different from those of adults. Specifically, the head-to-body ratio of children is smaller than that of adults, so it is difficult for children to maintain posture. In addition, the hearing ability of children is less developed than that of adults, so children have a harder time hearing surrounding sounds than adults. Furthermore, the field of vision of children is narrower than that of adults.

[0011] Therefore, the head reproduction member is spherical and larger than the adult's head, and is attached to the adult's head by covering the adult's head, and is equipped with a hearing restriction section that restricts the adult's hearing when attached to the adult's head, and a visual field restriction section that restricts the adult's visual field when attached to the adult's head.

[0012] With such a head reproducing member, the head reproducing member is spherical and larger than the head of an adult, so that when the head reproducing member is attached to the head of an adult, the head-to-body ratio of the adult becomes smaller, and it is possible to reproduce a state in which it is difficult for a child to maintain posture with the head of the adult. Furthermore, when the head reproducing member is attached to the head of an adult, the hearing of the adult is restricted by the hearing restriction unit, so it is possible to reproduce a state in which it is more difficult for a child to hear surrounding sounds than an adult. Furthermore, when the head reproducing member is attached to the head of an adult, the field of view of the adult is restricted by the field of view restriction unit, so it is possible to reproduce the narrow field of view of a child.

[0013] Since the range of motion of a child's wrist is narrower than that of an adult's wrist, it is believed that a child learns the movement of rotating the wrist through learning. Therefore, the wrist reproduction member is a belt-like member that is wrapped around the wrist of the adult and worn on the wrist of the adult, and includes a movement limiting part that limits the movement of the wrist of the adult when the wrist reproduction member is worn on the wrist of the adult.

[0014] With such a wrist reproduction member, when the wrist reproduction member is attached to the wrist of an adult, the movement of the adult's wrist is restricted by the movement restricting section, allowing the adult to simulate the experience of the narrow range of motion of a child's wrist.

[0015] Since children have short fingers and small palms, it is considered that children have difficulty grasping objects compared to adults. Therefore, the finger reproducing member includes a plurality of cylindrical parts through which the fingers of the adult are inserted, and the plurality of cylindrical parts are connected to each other.

[0016] With this configuration, when the finger reproducing member is attached to the hand of an adult, the finger of the adult becomes shorter by the width of the cylindrical portion, so that the adult can simulate the experience of a child having difficulty grasping an object.

[0017] Since the stride length of a child is smaller than that of an adult, it is more difficult for a child to walk than an adult, and it is particularly difficult for a child to climb stairs. Therefore, the stride length reproduction member may include a pair of both-leg attachment parts that are attached to both legs of the adult, and a stride length limiting part that limits the stride length of the adult by connecting the pair of both-leg attachment parts.

[0018] With this configuration, when an adult walks with the stride reproduction members attached to both legs of the adult, the stride of the adult is shortened by the stride restriction part, so that the adult can simulate the experience of a child having difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

[0019] Most of the bones in a child's foot are made of soft tissue and cartilage, and the bones are widely spaced and the joints are soft, so a child's walking is less stable than an adult's. Therefore, the sole reproduction member is footwear that is worn on the adult's foot, and the bottom of the footwear is an elastic member configured to tilt forward, backward, left, and right by a predetermined amount or more.

[0020] With this configuration, the sole of the footwear is configured to tilt forward, backward, left, and right by more than a certain amount, so that when an adult wears the sole reproduction member and walks, the adult's walking becomes unstable. As a result, the adult can experience the instability of a child's walking. Effect of the Invention

[0021] According to the present invention, a child body experience set that enables an adult to simulate the experience of a child's body can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Hereinafter, a child physical experience set 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0024] The child body experience set 100 of this embodiment is for an adult to have a simulated experience of a child's body. As shown in Fig. 1, this child body experience set 100 is attached to an adult's head, adult's wrist, adult's hand, adult's both legs, and adult's soles, so that an adult can simultaneously have a simulated experience of a child's head, a child's wrist range of motion, a child's finger length, a child's stride, and a child's soles of the feet. In this embodiment, a child is a 2-year-old child, whose speech or motor skills are said to develop dramatically.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the child physical experience set 100 includes a head reproduction member 2 that reproduces the child's head with an adult's head, a wrist reproduction member 3 that reproduces the range of motion of the child's wrist with an adult's wrist, a finger reproduction member 4 that reproduces the length of the child's fingers with an adult's hand, a stride reproduction member 5 that reproduces the child's stride with both adult's legs, and a sole reproduction member 6 that reproduces the soles of the child's feet with the soles of the adult's feet. Each member will be described below.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the head reproducing member 2 is spherical and larger than the head of an adult, and is attached to the head of an adult by covering the head of the adult. Specifically, the head reproducing member 2 is spherical with a radius that makes the head of an adult four to five heads tall when attached to the head of the adult. In addition, when attached to the head of an adult, the head reproducing member 2 covers the entire ear of the adult, and thus the head reproducing member 2 also functions as a hearing restriction unit that restricts the hearing of the adult. In order for an adult to experience the weight of a child's head, the head reproducing member 2 has a predetermined weight, and in this embodiment, it has a weight of about 2 kg.

[0027] Furthermore, the head reproduction member 2 includes a field of view limiting portion 21 that limits the field of view of an adult when the head reproduction member 2 is attached to the head of the adult. Here, the field of view limiting portion 21 is an opening that exposes at least the eyes of the adult when the head reproduction member 2 is attached to the head of the adult. As shown in Fig. 3, the periphery of the opening is configured to overlap the field of view of the adult when the head reproduction member 2 is attached to the head of the adult.

[0028] In this embodiment, the opening constituting the field of view restricting part 21 exposes the adult's face including the adult's eyes, nose, and mouth when the head reproducing member 2 is worn by an adult. As a result, when the adult wears the head reproducing member 2, the adult's nose and mouth do not come into contact with the head reproducing member 2, so that it is possible to prevent infection caused by viruses or the like adhering to the adult's nose or mouth, and it becomes easy for the adult to put on and take off the head reproducing member 2.

[0029] The wrist reproduction member 3 is wrapped around the wrist of an adult and worn on the wrist of the adult, and is in the shape of a belt. In this embodiment, a pair of wrist reproduction members is worn on each of the left and right wrists of an adult. Since there is a large individual difference in the developmental stage of a two-year-old child, the material of the wrist reproduction member 3 is made of, for example, a fabric having elasticity, and the fabric constituting the wrist reproduction member 3 is a mesh material so that heat is not trapped in the wrist when it is worn. Note that the wrist reproduction member 3 may be configured to be detachable from the wrist of an adult, and may have, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener (not shown).

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, wrist reproduction member 3 includes a movement limiting section 31 that limits the range of movement of an adult's wrist, and a passage section 32 through which an adult's thumb passes.

[0031] The movement limiting part 31 limits the movement of bending the wrist of an adult inward. Here, the movement limiting part 31 has a long plate shape, and is provided inside the fabric that constitutes the wrist reproduction member 3. When the wrist reproduction member 3 is attached to the wrist of an adult, the longitudinal direction of the movement limiting part 31 is along the axial direction of the wrist of the adult, and the movement limiting part 31 is located on the inside of the wrist of the adult.

[0032] The through-hole 32 is a through-hole formed in the fabric constituting the wrist reproduction member 3. In this embodiment, the through-hole 32 is provided adjacent to the movement limiting part 31 so that the movement limiting part 31 is located inside the wrist of an adult when the wrist reproduction member 3 is worn by an adult. The through-hole 32 is made of a stretchy material such as rubber so that it can be adjusted to fit the thickness of an adult's thumb.

[0033] 4, the finger reproduction member 4 is to be worn on the hand of an adult, and in this embodiment, a pair of members is to be worn on each of the left and right hands of an adult. Since there is a large individual difference in the developmental stage of a two-year-old child, the finger reproduction member 4 is made of a material having elasticity, such as rubber.

[0034] Here, the finger reproduction member 4 includes a plurality of cylindrical portions 41 each having a cylindrical shape through which an adult's finger is passed. In this embodiment, the finger reproduction member 4 has five cylindrical portions 41 corresponding to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and adjacent cylindrical portions 41 are connected to each other. Specifically, the cylindrical portion 41 through which the thumb is passed and the cylindrical portion 41 through which the index finger is passed are connected at a predetermined distance apart so as not to interfere with the natural movement of the hand, and the other cylindrical portions 41 are connected adjacent to each other.

[0035] The stride reproduction member 5 is attached to both legs of an adult to restrict the stride of the adult. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, the stride reproduction member 5 includes a pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 attached to both legs of an adult, and a stride restriction part 52 that restricts the stride of the adult by connecting the pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 in a state where the pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 are attached to both legs of the adult. Note that the stride reproduction member 5 is made of, for example, a thick fabric so that it can be used repeatedly.

[0036] The pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 are wrapped around the legs of an adult and attached to both legs of the adult. In this embodiment, each of the both-leg attachment parts 51 is in the form of a belt wrapped around each knee of the adult, and covers the periphery of the knee of the adult to fix the knee when both-leg attachment parts 51 are attached around the knee of the adult. In addition, the both-leg attachment parts 51 are provided with a hook-and-loop fastener F along the circumferential direction of the knee so that they can be attached and detached to the knee of the adult.

[0037] The stride limiting part 52 connects the pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 and is belt-shaped. In this embodiment, the longitudinal length of the stride limiting part 52 is configured to be shorter than the stride of an adult. Since the stride of an adult varies depending on the physique of the adult, the stride limiting part 52 is provided with an adjuster 521 for adjusting the distance between the pair of both-leg attachment parts 51. In this embodiment, the stride limiting part 52 is in the form of two belts and is attached to the pair of both-leg attachment parts 51 in parallel to each other.

[0038] The sole reproduction member 6 is footwear to be worn on the feet of an adult, and in this embodiment, it is a pair to be worn on both feet of an adult. Specifically, the sole reproduction member 6 includes an opening 61 configured to be removable, a bottom 62 configured so that the sole of the adult's foot is tilted forward, backward, left, and right by a predetermined amount or more when worn, and a placement portion 63 provided on the upper surface of the bottom 62 on which the sole of the adult's foot is placed.

[0039] The opening 61 is adapted to be tightened around the ankle when the sole reproduction member 6 is to be fixed to the adult's foot. Specifically, the opening 61 is made of a stretchable elastic member such as rubber.

[0040] The bottom 62 has an elastic member configured so that the sole of an adult's foot can tilt forward, backward, left, and right by a predetermined amount or more when the sole is worn. In this embodiment, the elastic member is, for example, a thick sponge, and the elastic member is provided over the entire bottom surface of the bottom 62, but may be provided on only a part of the bottom surface. The amount or hardness of the thick sponge constituting the elastic member is not particularly limited.

[0041] The placing part 63 is provided across the upper surface of the elastic member constituting the bottom part 62. In this embodiment, the placing part 63 is made of a material such as polyvinyl chloride in order to prevent the sole of an adult from slipping when the adult wears the sole-reproducing member 6 and walks.

[0042] <Effects of this embodiment> According to the child body experience set 100 of this embodiment, a child's head, a child's wrist, a child's finger length, a child's stride, and a child's sole are reproduced on an adult's body, so that an adult can virtually experience a child's body. As a result, an adult can understand the difference between his or her own body and that of a child. In particular, by wearing the head reproduction member 2, wrist reproduction member 3, finger reproduction member 4, stride reproduction member 5, and sole reproduction member 6, an adult can simulate the entire body of a child from the head to the soles of the feet at once, and can understand the difference between an adult and a child in terms of the entire body. Therefore, an adult can nurse, care for, or raise a child while paying attention to the difference between the adult and child bodies.

[0043] The head reproducing member 2 is spherical and larger than the head of an adult. Therefore, when the head reproducing member 2 is attached to the head of an adult, the head-to-body ratio of the adult becomes smaller, and the state in which it is difficult for a child to maintain posture can be reproduced with the adult's head. Furthermore, when the head reproduction member 2 is attached to the head of an adult, the adult's ears are covered by the head reproduction member, so that the head reproduction member 2 functions as a hearing restriction member that restricts the hearing of the adult, thereby recreating a state in which it is more difficult for a child to hear surrounding sounds than an adult. Furthermore, when the head reproducing member 2 is attached to the head of an adult, the field of vision of the adult is restricted by the field of vision restricting portion 21, so that the narrow field of vision of a child can be reproduced.

[0044] Furthermore, when wrist reproduction member 3 is attached to the wrist of an adult, movement limiting section 31 limits the adult's movement of bending the wrist inward, allowing the adult to simulate the narrow range of motion of a child's wrist.

[0045] In addition, when the finger reproducing member 4 is attached to the hand of an adult, the finger of the adult becomes shorter by the width of the cylindrical portion 41, so that the adult can simulate the experience of a child having difficulty grasping an object.

[0046] In addition, when an adult walks with the stride reproducing members 5 attached to both legs of the adult, the stride of the adult is shortened by the stride limiting parts 52, so that the adult can simulate the experience of a state in which it is difficult for a child to walk, particularly to climb stairs.

[0047] Furthermore, since the bottom 62 of the sole reproduction member 6 has an elastic member configured to tilt forward, backward, left, and right by a predetermined amount or more, when an adult walks wearing the sole reproduction member 6, the adult's walking becomes unstable. As a result, the adult can experience the instability of a child's walking.

[0048] <Other embodiments> Other embodiments will now be described.

[0049] In this embodiment, the child physical experience set 100 reproduces the body of a two-year-old child, but the target age of children is not limited to two-year-old children and may be other ages.

[0050] In this embodiment, the movement limiting portion 31 limits the movement of an adult's wrist bending inward, but it may also be configured to restrict the movement of an adult's wrist bending outward, or it may be configured to have both.

[0051] In addition, various combinations and modifications of the embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
