[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-38316 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In infant sleepers that accommodate at least a part of an infant's body, it may be necessary to easily and partially adjust the comfort of the garment depending on the season. For example, in an air-conditioned space, it may be desirable to keep the back cool and the abdomen warm. However, in the infant clothes described above, it is not possible to change a part of the garment body to a fabric part having a different material or thickness, and it is difficult to partially change the comfort of the infant clothes. Therefore, it may be difficult to adjust the comfort of the garment.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide an infant sleeper and fabric member that can be easily adjusted for comfort. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The infant sleeper according to the present disclosure is (1) an infant sleeper for accommodating at least a part of an infant's body. The infant sleeper includes a first fabric portion extending in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction and having a shape symmetrical with respect to an imaginary line extending in the first direction, a second fabric portion extending in the first direction and a second fabric portion overlapping the first fabric portion in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions and having a shape symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line, and a plurality of joining portions for detachably joining one of the first fabric portion and the second fabric portion to the other. The plurality of joining portions include a first joining portion provided on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction on the first fabric portion and the second fabric portion, and a second joining portion provided on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction on the first fabric portion and the second fabric portion. The first joining portion includes a first fixing member provided on the first fabric portion, and a first fixed member provided on the second fabric portion to which the first fixing member is fixed. The second joining portion includes a second fixing member provided on the second fabric portion and a second fixed member provided on the first fabric portion to which the second fixing member is fixed. When the first fixing member is fixed to the first fixed member and the second fixing member is fixed to the second fixed member, an accommodation space for accommodating at least a part of the baby's body is formed between the first fabric portion and the second fabric portion.

[0007] In the infant sleeper according to the present disclosure, the first and second fabric parts have shapes symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line and are detachably fixed to each other via the first and second joints. The first fabric part is provided with both a first fixing member provided on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction and a second fixed member provided on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction. The second fabric part is provided with both a first fixing member provided on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction and a second fixing member provided on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction. As a result, the arrangement of the first fixing member and the second fixed member in the first fabric part is made similar to the arrangement of the second fixing member and the first fixed member in the second fabric part, and the first fixing member is fixed to the first fixed member and the second fixing member is fixed to the second fixed member, thereby forming an accommodation space between the first and second fabric parts. Therefore, for example, by preparing a plurality of fabric parts made of different materials and with the fixing member and the fixed member arranged at the same position, it is possible to select two fabric parts from the plurality of fabric parts to construct a plurality of types of infant sleepers with different wearing comfort. For example, by constructing an infant sleeper from a first fabric part and a second fabric part made of a material different from that of the first fabric part, it is possible to partially change the wearing comfort of the infant sleeper. As described above, the wearing comfort can be easily adjusted.

[0008] (2) In the above (1), a plurality of first fixing members may be provided along the periphery of the first fabric part on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction, and a plurality of first fixed members may be provided along the periphery of the second fabric part on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction. A plurality of second fixing members may be provided along the periphery of the second fabric part on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction, and a plurality of second fixed members may be provided along the periphery of the first fabric part on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction. In this case, since the first fabric part and the second fabric part can be joined to each other by a plurality of joining parts, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a part of the first fabric part or a part of the second fabric part will be rolled up when, for example, an infant's body is accommodated in the accommodation space. In addition, the first fixing member and the second fixed member are provided along the periphery of the first fabric part, and the second fixing member and the first fixed member are provided along the periphery of the second fabric part. This makes it possible to ensure a large storage space when the first fabric portion and the second fabric portion are overlapped with each other.

[0009] (3) In the above (1) or (2), an opening through which a part of the baby's body can be passed may be formed between two adjacent joining parts along the periphery of the first fabric part and the second fabric part. In this case, the baby sleeper can be used as clothing for the baby, for example, by letting the baby's arms or legs pass through the opening.

[0010] (4) In any of the above (1) to (3), a crotch portion is formed that is located between both legs of an infant when at least a part of the infant's body is accommodated in the accommodation space, and the crotch portion may include one first joining portion and one second joining portion. In this case, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the first fabric portion or the second fabric portion will be turned up in the crotch portion that covers the infant's crotch.

[0011] (5) In any of the above (1) to (4), the first fixing member and the second fixing member may be male snap buttons, and the first fixed member and the second fixed member may be female snap buttons. In this case, since the fixing member and the fixed member are easily detachable snap buttons, the first fabric part and the second fabric part can be attached and detached more easily.

[0012] The cloth member according to the present disclosure is (6) a cloth member constituting an infant sleeper for accommodating at least a part of an infant's body. The cloth member includes a cloth portion extending in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction and having a shape symmetrical with respect to an imaginary line extending in the first direction, a fixing member provided on one side of the imaginary line in the cloth portion in the second direction and removably joined to another cloth member overlapped in a third direction intersecting both the first and second directions, and a fixed member provided on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction in the cloth portion and to which the other cloth member is removably joined. When the fixing member is fixed to the other cloth member and the other cloth member is fixed to the fixed member, an accommodation space for accommodating at least a part of the infant's body is formed between the other cloth member and the fixing member.

[0013] In the fabric member according to the present disclosure, the fabric portion has a shape symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line. The fabric portion is provided with both a fixing member provided on one side of the imaginary line in the second direction and a fixed member provided on the other side of the imaginary line in the second direction. Thus, similar to the above-mentioned infant sleeper, if a fabric member and another fabric member are prepared in which the fabric portions are made of different materials and the fixing member and the fixed member are arranged at the same positions, multiple types of infant sleepers with different comforts can be constructed. For example, the comfort of the infant sleeper can be partially changed by constructing an infant sleeper from a fabric member and another fabric member having a fabric portion made of a material different from that of the fabric portion of the fabric member. As described above, the comfort can be easily adjusted. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present disclosure, the comfort can be easily adjusted. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a bottom view showing the sleeper of FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of how the sleeper is used. [Diagram 5] FIG. 13 shows the state around the shoulders of an infant. [Figure 6] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a sleeper according to a modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an infant sleeper and a fabric member according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate. In addition, the drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0017] The infant sleeper according to the present disclosure accommodates at least a part of an infant's body. "At least a part of an infant's body" includes, for example, the entire body of an infant and the torso of an infant. "Infant" refers to, for example, an infant under the age of 6. "Infant sleepers" typically include those that accommodate at least a part of an infant's body when the infant is asleep and are used as bedding. The infant sleeper according to the present disclosure includes those that accommodate at least a part of an infant's body when the infant is awake and are used as clothing.

[0018] The infant sleeper according to the present disclosure is used, for example, by a person who takes care of an infant. The "person who takes care of an infant" is typically the parent of the infant. The person who takes care of an infant, for example, holds the infant or puts the infant to sleep with at least a part of the infant's body contained in the infant sleeper.

[0019] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a sleeper 1 (infant sleeper) according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sleeper 1 has a length in one direction (the up-down direction in FIG. 1), a width in an orthogonal direction (the left-right direction in FIG. 1) that is a direction perpendicular to the one direction, and a thickness in a thickness direction (a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1) that is a direction perpendicular to both the one direction and the orthogonal direction. Hereinafter, the one direction is referred to as a first direction D1, the orthogonal direction is referred to as a second direction D2, and the thickness direction is referred to as a third direction D3.

[0020] The sleeper 1 comprises a first cloth member 2 (cloth member) and a second cloth member 3 (another cloth member). The first cloth member 2 and the second cloth member 3 are overlapped with each other in the third direction D3. In this embodiment, the first cloth member 2 and the second cloth member 3 have the same shape and size. However, the shape of the first cloth member 2 may be different from the shape of the second cloth member 3, and the size of the first cloth member 2 may be different from the size of the second cloth member 3.

[0021] The first cloth member 2 has a first cloth portion 21, a first fixing member 22 (fixing member), and a second fixed member 23 (fixed member). The first cloth portion 21 extends in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. The first cloth portion 21 has a shape symmetrical with respect to an imaginary line L extending in the first direction D1. The imaginary line L is an imaginary line extending in the first direction D1 at the center of the first cloth portion 21 in the second direction D2. Note that the shape of the first cloth portion 21 does not have to be symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line L as long as it does not deviate from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0022] The first fabric portion 21 is made of cloth. Various materials such as cotton, down, or polyester can be used as the material of the first fabric portion 21. The first fabric portion 21 may be, for example, a cotton fabric, a gauze fabric, or a blanket fabric. In this embodiment, a hem portion 21h is formed on the peripheral portion 21p of the first fabric portion 21 by hemming (Adler processing). The peripheral portion 21p refers to a certain region including the portion of the first fabric portion 21 where the hem portion 21h is formed. The hem portion 21h may be made of a material different from that of the first fabric portion 21. The hem portion 21h may be made of a material harder than the first fabric portion 21, for example. However, the material of the hem portion 21h may be the same as the material of the first fabric portion 21, and is not particularly limited. The hem portion 21h may be fixed to the peripheral portion 21p of the first fabric portion 21 by, for example, sewing. Moreover, the hem portion 21h does not necessarily have to be provided.

[0023] The first fabric portion 21 has a first surface 21a and a second surface 21b located on the opposite side to the first surface 21a in the third direction D3. The first surface 21a faces away from the second fabric member 3. The first surface 21a faces the opposite side to the infant's body when at least a part of the infant's body is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The second surface 21b faces the second fabric member 3. The second surface 21b comes into contact with the infant's body when at least a part of the infant's body is accommodated in the sleeper 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first fabric member 2 has a plurality of first fixing members 22. The number of the first fixing members 22 is, for example, four, but is not particularly limited. The plurality of first fixing members 22 are provided on one side (the left side in FIG. 1 ) of the imaginary line L in the first fabric portion 21 in the second direction D2, as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of first fixing members 22 are lined up along the peripheral portion 21p of the first fabric portion 21, as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of first fixing members 22 are provided on the peripheral portion 21p. For example, the plurality of first fixing members 22 are lined up at a predetermined interval as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of first fixing members 22 are lined up on the boundary between the first fabric portion 21 and the hem portion 21h.

[0025] The multiple first fixing members 22 are lined up from one side (upper side in FIG. 1) to the other side (lower side in FIG. 1) in the first direction D1 in the first fabric portion 21. For ease of explanation, the first fixing members 22 lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the first fabric portion 21 may be referred to as fixing member 22a, fixing member 22b, fixing member 22c, and fixing member 22d, in this order, below.

[0026] Fixed member 22a is provided at one end (upper end in FIG. 1) in the first direction D1 of first fabric portion 21. Fixed member 22d is provided at the other end (lower end in FIG. 1) in the first direction D1 of first fabric portion 21. The distance from fixed member 22b to fixed member 22d in the first direction D1 is shorter than the distance from fixed member 22a to fixed member 22d in the first direction D1. The distance from fixed member 22c to fixed member 22d in the first direction D1 is shorter than the distance from fixed member 22b to fixed member 22d in the first direction D1.

[0027] The fixed member 22a is provided at a position spaced apart from the virtual line L in the second direction D2. The fixed member 22b is provided at a position farther from the virtual line L than the fixed member 22a in the second direction D2. The fixed member 22c is provided at a position farther from the virtual line L than the fixed member 22b in the second direction D2. The fixed member 22d is provided at a position closer to the virtual line L than the fixed member 22a in the second direction D2. In other words, the distance from the fixed member 22a to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 22b to the virtual line L, and the distance from the fixed member 22b to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 22c to the virtual line L. The distance from the fixed member 22d to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 22a to the virtual line L.

[0028] The first fixing member 22 is a male snap button. However, the type of the first fixing member 22 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, since the portion of the second fabric member 3 to which the fixing member 22a is fixed is folded back (see FIG. 5), the fixing member 22a is provided on the first surface 21a of the first fabric portion 21, and the fixing members 22b, 22c, and 22d are provided on the second surface 21b facing away from the first surface 21a.

[0029] In this embodiment, the male of the snap button includes a locking member that is locked to the female of the snap button, and an attachment member for attaching the locking member to the first fabric portion 21 or the second fabric portion 31 (described later) of the second fabric member 3. For example, the locking member refers to the portion of the snap button that is locked, and the attachment member refers to the portion that faces the opposite side to the locking member and is exposed in the fabric portion (for example, the portion of the button that is pressed).

[0030] The provision of the first fixing member 22 on the first surface 21a means that the locking member included in the first fixing member 22 is provided on the first surface 21a. In this case, for example, the attachment member included in the first fixing member 22 is exposed on the second surface 21b facing away from the first surface 21a. The provision of the first fixing member 22 on the second surface 21b means that the locking member included in the first fixing member 22 is provided on the second surface 21b. In this case, for example, the attachment member included in the first fixing member 22 is exposed on the first surface 21a facing away from the second surface 21b.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first fabric member 2 has a plurality of second fixed members 23. The number of the second fixed members 23 is, for example, four, but is not particularly limited. A second fixing member 32, which will be described later, is detachably fixed to the second fixed members 23. The plurality of second fixed members 23 are provided on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2 (the right side in FIG. 1) in the first fabric portion 21 as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of second fixed members 23 are provided along the peripheral portion 21p of the first fabric portion 21 as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of second fixed members 23 are provided on the peripheral portion 21p. For example, the plurality of second fixed members 23 are lined up at a predetermined interval as viewed from the third direction D3. The plurality of second fixed members 23 are lined up on the boundary between the first fabric portion 21 and the hem portion 21h.

[0032] The multiple second fixed members 23 are lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the first fabric portion 21. For ease of explanation, the second fixed members 23 lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the first fabric portion 21 may be referred to as fixed member 23a, fixed member 23b, fixed member 23c, and fixed member 23d, in this order, below.

[0033] Fixed member 23a is provided at one end in the first direction D1 of first fabric portion 21. Fixed member 23d is provided at the other end in the first direction D1 of first fabric portion 21. The distance from fixed member 23b to fixed member 23d in the first direction D1 is shorter than the distance from fixed member 23a to fixed member 23d in the first direction D1. The distance from fixed member 23c to fixed member 23d in the first direction D1 is shorter than the distance from fixed member 23b to fixed member 23d in the first direction D1.

[0034] The fixed member 23a is provided at a position separated from the virtual line L in the second direction D2. The fixed member 23b is provided at a position farther from the virtual line L than the fixed member 23a in the second direction D2. The fixed member 23c is provided at a position farther from the virtual line L than the fixed member 23b in the second direction D2. The fixed member 23d is provided at a position closer to the virtual line L than the fixed member 23a in the second direction D2. That is, the distance from the fixed member 23a to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 23b to the virtual line L, and the distance from the fixed member 23b to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 23c to the virtual line L. The distance from the fixed member 23d to the virtual line L is shorter than the distance from the fixed member 23a to the virtual line L.

[0035] The second fixed member 23 is a female snap button. However, there is no particular limitation on the type of the second fixed member 23. In this embodiment, the fixed members 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d are provided on the second surface 21b of the first fabric portion 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the female of the snap button includes a locked member that is locked to a locking member included in the male of the snap button, and an attachment member for attaching the locked member to the first fabric portion 21 or the second fabric portion 31. The second fixed member 23 being provided on the second surface 21b means that the locked member included in the second fixed member 23 is provided on the second surface 21b. In this case, for example, the attachment member included in the second fixed member 23 is exposed to the first surface 21a facing away from the second surface 21b.

[0037] In this embodiment, each of the second fixed members 23 is provided at a position that is line-symmetrical to each of the first fixed members 22 with respect to the virtual line L. For example, one first fixed member 22 is located on a reference line that passes through one of the second fixed members 23 and the virtual line L and extends along the second direction D2. The distance from the second fixed member 23 to the virtual line L is, for example, the same as the distance from the first fixed member 22 to the virtual line L.

[0038] More specifically, the distance from fixed member 23a to the virtual line L is equal to the distance from fixing member 22a to the virtual line L. The distance from fixed member 23b to the virtual line L is equal to the distance from fixing member 22b to the virtual line L. The distance from fixed member 23c to the virtual line L is equal to the distance from fixing member 22c to the virtual line L. The distance from fixed member 23d to the virtual line L is equal to the distance from fixing member 22d to the virtual line L.

[0039] Next, the configuration of the second fabric member 3 will be described. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the sleeper 1 as viewed from the second fabric portion 31 side. As described above, part of the configuration of the second fabric member 3 is the same as part of the configuration of the first fabric member 2. Therefore, in the following explanation, explanations that overlap with the first fabric member 2 will be omitted as appropriate.

[0040] The second fabric member 3 has a second fabric portion 31, a second fixing member 32, and a first fixed member 33. The second fabric portion 31 is overlapped with the first fabric portion 21 in the third direction D3. For example, the shape and size of the second fabric portion 31 are the same as the shape and size of the first fabric portion 21. The shape and size of the second fabric portion 31 can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. The material of the second fabric portion 31 may be the same as the material of the first fabric portion 21, or may be different.

[0041] In this embodiment, a hem portion 31h is formed at the peripheral edge portion 31p of the second fabric portion 31. The peripheral edge portion 31p refers to a certain region including the portion where the hem portion 31h is formed in the second fabric portion 31. The hem portion 31h may be fixed to the peripheral edge portion 31p of the second fabric portion 31 by sewing, for example. Also, the hem portion 31h does not have to be provided.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the second fabric portion 31 has a third surface 31a and a fourth surface 31b located on the opposite side to the third surface 31a in the third direction D3. The third surface 31a faces away from the first fabric member 2. The third surface 31a faces the opposite side to the body of the infant when at least a part of the infant's body is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The fourth surface 31b faces the first fabric member 2. The fourth surface 31b comes into contact with the body of the infant when at least a part of the infant's body is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The fourth surface 31b faces the second surface 21b in the third direction D3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second cloth member 3 has a plurality of second fixing members 32. The number of the second fixing members 32 is, for example, the same as the number of the first fixed members 33. However, the number of the second fixing members 32 is not particularly limited. In a state in which the first cloth member 2 is joined to the second cloth member 3, each of the second fixing members 32 is, for example, aligned with each of the second fixed members 23 along the third direction D3. The second fixing members 32 are provided on the peripheral portion 31p. The positions of the second fixing members 32 when the first cloth member 2 is placed on top are the same as the positions of the first fixing members 22 when the second cloth member 3 is placed on top. However, the positional relationship between the second fixing members 32, the first fixing members 22, and the second fixed members 23 is not limited to the above example.

[0044] The multiple second fixing members 32 are lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the second fabric portion 31. For ease of explanation, the second fixing members 32 lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the second fabric portion 31 may be referred to as fixing member 32a, fixing member 32b, fixing member 32c, and fixing member 32d, in this order, below.

[0045] The second fixing member 32 is a male snap button. However, the type of the second fixing member 32 is not particularly limited as long as it can be engaged with the second fixed member 23. In this embodiment, the portion of the second fabric member 3 on which the fixing member 32a is provided is folded back to fix the fixing member 32a to the fixed member 23a (see FIG. 5), so the fixing member 32a is provided on the third surface 31a of the second fabric portion 31. The fixing members 32b, 32c, and 32d are provided on the fourth surface 31b of the second fabric portion 31.

[0046] In this embodiment, the second cloth member 3 has a plurality of first fixed members 33. The number of the first fixed members 33 is, for example, the same as the number of the first fixed members 22. However, the number of the first fixed members 33 is not particularly limited. The first fixed members 22 are detachably fixed to the first fixed members 33. In a state in which the first cloth member 2 is joined to the second cloth member 3, each of the first fixed members 33 is, for example, aligned with each of the first fixed members 22 along the third direction D3. The first fixed members 33 are provided on the peripheral portion 31p. The positions of the first fixed members 33 when the first cloth member 2 is placed on top are the same as the positions of the second fixed members 23 when the second cloth member 3 is placed on top. However, the positional relationship between the first fixed members 33, the first fixed members 22, and the second fixed members 23 is not limited to the above example.

[0047] The multiple first fixed members 33 are lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the second fabric portion 31. For ease of explanation, the first fixed members 33 lined up from one side to the other side in the first direction D1 in the second fabric portion 31 may be referred to as fixed member 33a, fixed member 33b, fixed member 33c, and fixed member 33d, in this order, below.

[0048] The first fixed member 33 is a female snap button. However, the type of the first fixed member 33 is not particularly limited as long as the first fixing member 22 can be locked. In this embodiment, the fixed members 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d are provided on the fourth surface 31b of the second fabric portion 31.

[0049] In a state in which the first fixing member 22 is fixed to the first fixed member 33 and the second fixing member 32 is fixed to the second fixed member 23, an accommodation space S for accommodating at least a part of the baby's body is formed between the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. The accommodation space S is formed between the second surface 21b of the first fabric portion 21 and the fourth surface 31b of the second fabric portion 31.

[0050] A joining portion 4 is formed by one fixing member (first fixing member 22 or second fixing member 32) and one fixed member (first fixed member 33 or second fixed member 23) to which the one fixing member is fixed. The sleeper 1 has a plurality of joining portions 4. The plurality of joining portions 4 join one of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 to the other in a detachable manner.

[0051] The multiple joining portions 4 include a first joining portion 41 and a second joining portion 42. The first joining portion 41 is provided on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2 in the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. The first joining portion 41 includes a first fixing member 22 and a first fixed member 33.

[0052] For ease of explanation, the first joint 41 including the fixing member 22a and the fixed member 33a may be referred to as joint 41a, and the first joint 41 including the fixing member 22b and the fixed member 33b may be referred to as joint 41b. The first joint 41 including the fixing member 22c and the fixed member 33c may be referred to as joint 41c, and the first joint 41 including the fixing member 22d and the fixed member 33d may be referred to as joint 41d.

[0053] The second joint portion 42 is provided on the other side in the second direction D2 of the imaginary line L in the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. The second joint portion 42 includes a second fixing member 32 and a second fixed member 23.

[0054] For ease of explanation, the second joint 42 including the fixing member 32a and the fixed member 23a may be referred to as joint 42a, and the second joint 42 including the fixing member 32b and the fixed member 23b may be referred to as joint 42b. The second joint 42 including the fixing member 32c and the fixed member 23c may be referred to as joint 42c, and the second joint 42 including the fixing member 32d and the fixed member 23d may be referred to as joint 42d.

[0055] In this embodiment, in a state in which the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 are overlapped with each other along the third direction D3, the peripheral edge portion 21p of the first fabric portion 21 and the peripheral edge portion 31p of the second fabric portion 31 coincide with each other. For example, the distances along the circumferential direction between two first joint portions 41 adjacent to each other along the peripheral edge portions (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "peripheral edge portions") of the overlapped first fabric portion 21 and second fabric portion 31 are different from each other. The "circumferential direction" means the direction along the peripheral edge portions as viewed from the third direction D3. Specifically, the distance along the circumferential direction from the joint portion 41a to the joint portion 41b is different from the distance along the circumferential direction from the joint portion 41b to the joint portion 41c. The distance along the circumferential direction from the joint portion 41b to the joint portion 41c is different from the distance along the circumferential direction from the joint portion 41c to the joint portion 41d. The distance in the circumferential direction from joint 41c to joint 41d is different from the distance in the circumferential direction from joint 41a to joint 41b.

[0056] The circumferential distance between two second joints 42 adjacent to each other along the periphery is different from each other. Specifically, the circumferential distance from joint 42a to joint 42b is different from the circumferential distance from joint 42b to joint 42c. The circumferential distance from joint 42b to joint 42c is different from the circumferential distance from joint 42c to joint 42d. The circumferential distance from joint 42c to joint 42d is different from the circumferential distance from joint 42a to joint 42b.

[0057] In this embodiment, an opening 5 through which a part of the baby's body passes is formed between two joints 4 adjacent to each other along the periphery. The sleeper 1 has a plurality of openings 5. Each of the plurality of openings 5 ​​is defined by two joints 4 adjacent to each other along the periphery, the periphery 21p, and the periphery 31p. The plurality of openings 5 ​​will be described in detail below.

[0058] In the following, the "inner side" refers to the inner side of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 when viewed from the third direction D3. The "outer side" refers to the outer side of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 when viewed from the third direction D3.

[0059] The multiple openings 5 ​​include arm passage portions 51, 52. The arm passage portion 51 is, for example, an opening 5 through which one arm of an infant is passed. The arm passage portion 51 is formed between the adjacent joint portions 41a and 41b along the periphery. For example, the arm passage portion 51 has an S-shape. The arm passage portion 51 includes an outer curved portion 61 that curves outward, and an inner curved portion 62 that is formed at a position closer to the joint portion 41b than the outer curved portion 61 and curves inward.

[0060] The arm passage portion 52 is, for example, an opening 5 through which an arm of an infant, which is different from the one arm described above, is passed. The arm passage portion 52 is formed between the joint portions 42a and 42b adjacent to each other along the periphery. For example, the shape of the arm passage portion 52 is S-shaped. The arm passage portion 52 includes an outer curved portion 71 that curves outward, and an inner curved portion 72 that is formed at a position closer to the joint portion 42b than the outer curved portion 71 and curves inward.

[0061] The multiple openings 5 ​​include leg passages 53, 54. The leg passage 53 is, for example, an opening 5 through which one leg of an infant is passed. The leg passage 53 is formed between the joints 41c and 41d adjacent to each other along the periphery. The leg passage 53 is, for example, arc-shaped. The leg passage 53 is formed by an outer curved portion 63 that curves so as to bulge outward.

[0062] The leg passage portion 54 is, for example, an opening 5 through which the other leg of the baby, which is different from the one leg described above, is passed. The leg passage portion 54 is formed between the joint portion 42c and the joint portion 42d adjacent to each other along the periphery. The shape of the leg passage portion 54 is, for example, an arc shape. The leg passage portion 54 is formed by an outer curved portion 73 that curves so as to bulge outward.

[0063] The multiple openings 5 ​​include a neck passage portion 55. The neck passage portion 55 is, for example, an opening 5 through which the head of an infant is passed. The neck passage portion 55 is formed between the joint portion 41a and the joint portion 42a adjacent to each other along the periphery. The shape of the neck passage portion 55 is, for example, U-shaped. The neck passage portion 55 includes an outer curved portion 64 located on the opposite side of the outer curved portion 61 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint portion 41a and curved outward, and an outer curved portion 74 located on the opposite side of the outer curved portion 71 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint portion 42a and curved outward. The outer curved portion 64 is formed at a position closer to the joint portion 41a than the virtual line L. The outer curved portion 74 is formed at a position closer to the joint portion 42a than the virtual line L.

[0064] The neck passage portion 55 includes an inner curved portion 81 that is located between the outer curved portion 64 and the outer curved portion 74 in the circumferential direction and curves inward. The inner curved portion 81 includes, for example, an extending portion 82 that extends in the second direction D2 at the center of the inner curved portion 81 in the second direction D2. The inner curved portion 81 includes an oblique extending portion 67 that extends from one end of the extending portion 82 in the second direction D2 to the outer curved portion 64, and an oblique extending portion 77 that extends from the other end of the extending portion 82 in the second direction D2 to the outer curved portion 74.

[0065] The oblique extending portion 67 and the oblique extending portion 77 form a predetermined angle with respect to the second direction D2. The predetermined angle is, for example, 30° or more and 60° or less (45° as an example). However, the predetermined angle can be changed as appropriate.

[0066] The length of the neck passage portion 55 in the first direction D1 is, for example, 10% to 35% (for example, 20%) of the maximum length in the first direction D1 of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. The length of the neck passage portion 55 in the second direction D2 is, for example, 40% to 80% (for example, 70%) of the maximum length in the second direction D2 of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31.

[0067] An outer curved portion 65 that curves outward is formed between the joints 41b and 41c in the circumferential direction. The outer curved portion 65 is located on the opposite side of the inner curved portion 62 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint 41b. The outer curved portion 65 is located on the opposite side of the outer curved portion 63 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint 41c.

[0068] An outer curved portion 75 that curves outward is formed between the joints 42b and 42c in the circumferential direction. The outer curved portion 75 is located on the opposite side of the inner curved portion 72 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint 42b. The outer curved portion 75 is located on the opposite side of the outer curved portion 73 in the circumferential direction as viewed from the joint 42c.

[0069] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of how the sleeper 1 is used. When at least a part of the body of an infant 10 is placed in the sleeper 1, first, the second fabric member 3 is placed on the placement surface G. At this time, the second fabric member 3 is placed so that the third surface 31a (see Figs. 2 and 3) of the second fabric part 31 is in contact with the placement surface G. The placement surface G is, for example, a floor.

[0070] Next, the body of the infant 10 is placed on the second cloth part 31. At this time, the body of the infant 10 is placed so that the body of the infant 10 is in contact with the fourth surface 31b of the second cloth part 31. For example, one arm 11 (for example, the right arm) of the infant 10 is placed between the fixed member 33a and the fixed member 33b, and the other arm 12 (for example, the left arm) of the infant 10 is placed between the fixing member 32a and the fixing member 32b. For example, one leg 13 (for example, the right leg) of the infant 10 is placed between the fixed member 33c and the fixed member 33d, and the other leg 14 (for example, the left leg) of the infant 10 is placed between the fixing member 32c and the fixing member 32d. For example, the neck of the infant 10 is placed between the fixed member 33a and the fixing member 32a.

[0071] Next, the first cloth member 2 is placed over the second cloth member 3. At this time, the first cloth member 2 is placed over so that the second surface 21b of the first cloth portion 21 is in contact with the body of the infant 10. For example, the arm 11 of the infant 10 is placed between the fixing member 22a and the fixing member 22b, and the arm 12 of the infant 10 is placed between the fixed member 23a and the fixed member 23b. For example, the leg 13 of the infant 10 is placed between the fixing member 22c and the fixing member 22d, and the leg 14 of the infant 10 is placed between the fixed member 23c and the fixed member 23d. For example, the neck of the infant 10 is placed between the fixing member 22a and the fixed member 23a.

[0072] Next, the first fabric member 2 is fixed to the second fabric member 3. For example, each of the first fixing members 22 is fixed to each of the first fixed members 33, and each of the second fixing members 32 is fixed to each of the second fixed members 23.

[0073] For example, the fixing member 22a is fixed to the fixed member 33a, and the fixing member 22b is fixed to the fixed member 33b. As a result, an arm-passing portion 51 is formed between the joint portion 41a and the joint portion 41b, and the arm 11 of the infant 10 is passed through the arm-passing portion 51. For example, the fixing member 32a is fixed to the fixed member 23a, and the fixing member 32b is fixed to the fixed member 23b. As a result, an arm-passing portion 52 is formed between the joint portion 42a and the joint portion 42b, and the arm 12 of the infant 10 is passed through the arm-passing portion 52. In addition, a neck-passing portion 55 is formed between the joint portion 41a and the joint portion 42a, and the head 15 of the infant 10 is passed through the neck-passing portion 55.

[0074] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the infant 10 and its vicinity. As shown in Fig. 5, at one shoulder of the infant 10 (for example, the right shoulder of the infant 10), a portion of the second fabric part 31 including the fixed member 33a is folded back, and the fixing member 22a is fixed to the fixed member 33a. At this time, the locking member of the fixing member 22a provided on the first surface 21a is locked to the locking member of the fixed member 33a provided on the fourth surface 31b. As a result, the first surface 21a and the fourth surface 31b face each other at one shoulder of the infant 10.

[0075] At the other shoulder of infant 10 (for example, the left shoulder of infant 10), a portion of second fabric portion 31 including fixing member 32a is folded back, and fixing member 32a is fixed to fixed member 23a. At this time, the locking member of fixing member 32a provided on third surface 31a is locked to the locked member of fixed member 23a provided on second surface 21b. As a result, second surface 21b and third surface 31a face each other at the other shoulder of infant 10.

[0076] For example, fixing member 22c is fixed to fixed member 33c, and fixing member 22d is fixed to fixed member 33d. As a result, leg-passing portion 53 is formed between joint 41c and joint 41d, and leg 13 of infant 10 is passed through leg-passing portion 53. For example, fixing member 32c is fixed to fixed member 23c, and fixing member 32d is fixed to fixed member 23d. As a result, leg-passing portion 54 is formed between joint 42c and joint 42d, and leg 14 of infant 10 is passed through leg-passing portion 54.

[0077] Through the above steps, at least a part of the body of the infant 10 (e.g., the torso) is accommodated in the accommodation space S formed between the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31, and the second fabric portion 3 is joined to the first fabric member 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the sleeper 1 is formed with a crotch portion 7. The crotch portion 7 is located between both legs 13, 14 of the infant 10 when at least a part of the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the accommodation space S. In this embodiment, the crotch portion 7 is formed at the end of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 on the opposite side to the neck passage portion 55. The crotch portion 7 is formed in the center of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 in the second direction D2.

[0078] In this embodiment, the crotch portion 7 includes one first joint 41 and one second joint 42. The crotch portion 7 includes a joint 41d and a joint 42d. The crotch portion 7 is formed, for example, on a virtual line L. In the crotch portion 7, the joint 41d is disposed on one side of the virtual line L in the second direction D2, and the joint 42d is disposed on the other side of the virtual line L in the second direction D2.

[0079] Next, the effects of the sleeper 1 and cloth members (for example, the first cloth member 2) according to this embodiment will be described. In the sleeper 1, the first cloth portion 21 and the second cloth portion 31 have a shape symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line L, and are detachably fixed to each other via the first joint portion 41 and the second joint portion 42. The first cloth portion 21 is provided with both a first fixing member 22 provided on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2, and a second fixed member 23 provided on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2. The second cloth portion 31 is provided with both a first fixed member 33 provided on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2, and a second fixing member 32 provided on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2.

[0080] As a result, the arrangement of the first fixing member 22 and the second fixed member 23 in the first fabric portion 21 is the same as the arrangement of the second fixing member 32 and the first fixed member 33 in the second fabric portion 31, and then the first fixing member 22 is fixed to the first fixed member 33 and the second fixing member 32 is fixed to the second fixed member 23, thereby forming a storage space S between the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. Therefore, for example, by preparing a plurality of fabric portions made of different materials and having fixing members and fixed members arranged at the same positions, it is possible to select two fabric portions from the plurality of fabric portions and form a plurality of types of sleepers 1 having different comforts. For example, by forming the sleeper 1 with the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 made of a material different from that of the first fabric portion 21, the comfort of the sleeper 1 can be partially changed. As described above, the comfort can be easily adjusted.

[0081] For example, a first cloth member 2 having a first cloth portion 21 made of a first material (for example, a blanket fabric), a first cloth member 2 having a first cloth portion 21 made of a second material different from the first material, a second cloth member 3 having a second cloth portion 31 made of a third material (for example, a gauze fabric), and a second cloth member 3 having a second cloth portion 31 made of a fourth material different from the third material may be prepared in advance. In this case, a sleeper 1 having a first cloth portion 21 made of the first material and a second cloth portion 31 made of a third material, a sleeper 1 having a first cloth portion 21 made of the first material and a second cloth portion 31 made of a fourth material, a sleeper 1 having a first cloth portion 21 made of the second material and a second cloth portion 31 made of a third material, and a sleeper 1 having a first cloth portion 21 made of the second material and a second cloth portion 31 made of a fourth material can be freely selected.

[0082] For example, the material of the second fabric portion 31 in contact with the back of the infant 10 may be a gauze fabric with excellent breathability, and the material of the first fabric portion 21 in contact with the abdomen of the infant 10 may be a blanket fabric with excellent heat retention. In this case, the breathability of the back of the infant 10 can be improved to prevent stuffiness, and the abdomen of the infant 10 can be kept warm. In this way, the comfort of the sleeper 1 can be partially changed, such as by achieving both breathability and heat retention. For example, in cold seasons such as winter, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 may be made of a blanket fabric. For example, in hot seasons such as summer, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 may be made of a gauze fabric.

[0083] For example, when a sleeper is constructed by fixing a plurality of fabric members to each other, it is possible to construct the sleeper from a fabric member having only a fixing member without a fixed member, and another fabric member having only a fixed member without a fixing member. In contrast to such a sleeper, in this embodiment, the fabric member has both a fixing member and a fixed member, so there is no need to prepare a fabric member having only a fixing member and another fabric member having a fabric part made of the same material as the fabric part of the fabric member and having only a fixed member. Therefore, the seller of the sleeper 1 can reduce the types of fabric members to be stored, and therefore the increase in the number of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) of the fabric members can be suppressed. In addition, the consumer can reduce the types of fabric members to be purchased, and therefore the increase in the number of fabric members to be purchased can be suppressed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first fabric part 21 and the second fabric part 31 are removably fixed via a plurality of joints 4, so that the sleeper 1 can be easily put on and taken off by the infant 10.

[0084] In this embodiment, the sleeper 1 can be disassembled into the first cloth member 2 and the second cloth member 3, so that the sleeper 1 can be easily washed and dried. Since the first cloth member 2 and the second cloth member 3 each have both a fixing member and a fixed member, for example, by fixing the fixing member to the fixed member while the first cloth member 2 or the second cloth member 3 is wrapped around a hanger, the first cloth member 2 or the second cloth member 3 can be easily hung on the hanger. Therefore, the cloth members can be easily dried.

[0085] In this embodiment, the fixing member 22a is provided on the first surface 21a, and the fixed member 33a to which the fixing member 22a is fixed is provided on the fourth surface 31b. The fixing member 32a is provided on the third surface 31a, and the fixed member 23a to which the fixing member 32a is fixed is provided on the second surface 21b. As shown in FIG. 5, when putting the sleeper 1 on an infant 10, for example, at one shoulder of the infant 10, a portion of the second fabric part 31 including the fixed member 33a is folded back, and the fixing member 22a is fixed to the fixed member 33a. For example, at the other shoulder of the infant 10, a portion of the second fabric part 31 including the fixing member 32a is folded back, and the fixing member 32a is fixed to the fixed member 23a. As a result, a wide area of ​​the fabric part covering the shoulders of the infant 10 can be secured, and thus the heat retention at both shoulders of the infant 10 can be improved.

[0086] In this embodiment, an outer curved portion 65 that curves outward is formed between the joints 41b and 41c in the circumferential direction, and an outer curved portion 75 that curves outward is formed between the joints 42b and 42c in the circumferential direction. For example, the outer curved portions 65, 75 are located on the sides of the abdomen of the infant 10. Since the portions located on the sides of the abdomen of the infant 10 curve outward, the abdomen of the infant 10 is less likely to be compressed from the sides. This makes it possible to further improve the comfort of the garment. In addition, it is possible to reduce the frequency of purchasing fabric members of different sizes according to the growth of the infant 10.

[0087] In this embodiment, the multiple joints 4 detachably join one of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 to the other. By removing some of the multiple joints 4 and rolling up the first fabric portion 21 or the second fabric portion 31, it is possible to partially increase the breathability of the sleeper 1 while the sleeper 1 is still worn by the infant 10.

[0088] In this embodiment, a plurality of first fixing members 22 are provided along the peripheral edge 21p of the first fabric portion 21 on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2, and a plurality of first fixed members 33 are provided along the peripheral edge 31p of the second fabric portion 31 on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2. A plurality of second fixing members 32 are provided along the peripheral edge 31p of the second fabric portion 31 on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2, and a plurality of second fixed members 23 are provided along the peripheral edge 21p of the first fabric portion 21 on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2. Since the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 can be joined to each other by the plurality of joining portions 4, for example, when the body of an infant 10 is accommodated in the accommodation space S, the possibility that a part of the first fabric portion 21 or a part of the second fabric portion 31 will be turned up can be reduced. Further, a first fixing member 22 and a second fixed member 23 are provided along the peripheral edge 21p of the first fabric portion 21, and a second fixing member 32 and a first fixed member 33 are provided along the peripheral edge 31p of the second fabric portion 31. This makes it possible to ensure a wide storage space S when the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 are overlapped with each other.

[0089] In this embodiment, an opening 5 through which a part of the body of the infant 10 passes is formed between two adjacent joints 4 along the periphery of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31. In this case, the sleeper 1 can be used as clothing for the infant 10, for example, by putting out an arm or leg of the infant 10 through the opening 5.

[0090] In this embodiment, the multiple openings 5 ​​include arm passages 51, 52 through which the arms 11, 12 of the infant 10 are passed. The arm passage 51 includes an inner curved portion 62 that is formed at a position closer to the joint 41b than the outer curved portion 61 and curves inward. The arm passage 52 includes an inner curved portion 72 that is formed at a position closer to the joint 42b than the outer curved portion 71 and curves inward. When the arm 11 is passed through the arm passage 51 and the arm 12 is passed through the arm passage 52, the inner curved portions 62, 72 are located, for example, under the armpits of the infant 10. Since the portions located under the armpits of the infant 10 curve inward, the infant 10 can easily move his or her arms 11, 12.

[0091] In this embodiment, the multiple openings 5 ​​include a neck passage portion 55 through which the head 15 of the infant 10 passes. The length of the neck passage portion 55 in the first direction D1 is 10% or more and 35% or less of the maximum length of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 in the first direction D1. If the length of the neck passage portion 55 in the first direction D1 is less than 10% of the aforementioned maximum value, the neck of the infant 10 may be compressed in the first direction D1 by the neck passage portion 55. If the length of the neck passage portion 55 in the first direction D1 is greater than 35% of the aforementioned maximum value, a wide area of ​​the chest and back of the infant 10 may be exposed from the sleeper 1, which may cause the infant 10 to feel cold. In this respect, in this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the compression on the infant 10 and reduce the possibility of the infant 10 feeling cold.

[0092] In this embodiment, the length of the neck passage part 55 in the second direction D2 is 40% or more and 80% or less of the maximum length of the first fabric part 21 and the second fabric part 31 in the second direction D2. If the length of the neck passage part 55 in the second direction D2 is less than 40% of the aforementioned maximum value, the neck of the infant 10 may be compressed in the second direction D2 by the neck passage part 55. If the length of the neck passage part 55 in the second direction D2 is greater than 80% of the aforementioned maximum value, a wide area of ​​the chest and back of the infant 10 may be exposed from the sleeper 1, which may cause the infant 10 to feel cold. In this respect, in this embodiment, it is possible to reduce the compression on the infant 10 and reduce the possibility of the infant 10 feeling cold.

[0093] In this embodiment, a crotch portion 7 is formed that is located between both legs 13, 14 of the infant 10 when at least a part of the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the accommodation space S, and the crotch portion 7 includes one first joint portion 41 and one second joint portion 42. This reduces the possibility that the first fabric portion 21 or the second fabric portion 31 will be rolled up in the crotch portion 7 that covers the crotch of the infant 10. In addition, by removing the first joint portion 41 and the second joint portion 42 included in the crotch portion 7, respectively, and rolling up the first fabric portion 21 or the second fabric portion 31 in the crotch portion 7, the crotch of the infant 10 can be exposed without removing the sleeper 1 from the infant 10. In this state, the diaper of the infant 10 is changed, and the first joint portion 41 and the second joint portion 42 included in the crotch portion 7 are fixed, respectively, so that the body of the infant 10 can be accommodated in the sleeper 1 again. As a result, diapers can be easily changed without removing the sleeper 1 from the baby 10.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 32 are male snap buttons, and the first fixed member 33 and the second fixed member 23 are female snap buttons. Because the fixing member and the fixed member are easily detachable snap buttons, the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 can be attached and detached even more easily.

[0095] In the first cloth member 2, which is an example of a cloth member according to the present disclosure, the first cloth portion 21 has a shape symmetrical with respect to the imaginary line L. The first cloth portion 21 is provided with both a first fixing member 22 provided on one side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2 and a second fixed member 23 provided on the other side of the imaginary line L in the second direction D2. Thus, similar to the sleeper 1 described above, by preparing cloth members in which the cloth portions are made of different materials and the fixing member and the fixed member are arranged at the same positions, it is possible to construct a plurality of types of sleepers 1 having different comforts. For example, by constructing the sleeper 1 with the first cloth member 2 and the second cloth member 3 having the second cloth portion 31 made of a material different from that of the first cloth portion 21, the comfort of the sleeper 1 can be partially changed. As described above, the comfort can be easily adjusted.

[0096] The embodiment of the infant sleeper and the fabric member according to the present disclosure has been described above. However, the infant sleeper and the fabric member according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist described in the claims.

[0097] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the fixing member 22a is provided on the first surface 21a, and the fixing member 32a is provided on the third surface 31a. However, the fixing member 22a may be provided on the second surface 21b, and the fixing member 32a may be provided on the fourth surface 31b. In this case, the fixed member 23a may be provided on the first surface 21a, and the fixed member 33a may be provided on the third surface 31a.

[0098] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a sleeper 1A according to a modified example. As shown in FIG. 6, the second fixing members 32 and the first fixed members 33 may be provided on the third surface 31a. When putting the sleeper 1A on an infant 10, for example, a portion of the second fabric part 31 including the second fixing members 32 is folded back, and the second fixing member 32 is fixed to the second fixed member 23. For example, a portion of the second fabric part 31 including the first fixed members 33 is folded back, and the first fixing member 22 is fixed to the first fixed member 33. For example, when the joint 4 is made of a snap button, the joint 4 is harder than the first fabric part 21 and the second fabric part 31. In this modified example, the second fabric part 31 is interposed between the joint 4 and the body of the infant 10, so that the possibility that the joint 4, which is harder than the first fabric part 21 and the second fabric part 31, will come into direct contact with the body of the infant 10 can be reduced. This can further improve comfort.

[0099] In this modified example, for example, a portion of the first fabric portion 21 including the plurality of second fixed members 23 may be folded back, the second fixed member 32 may be fixed to the second fixed member 23, and a portion of the first fabric portion 21 including the plurality of first fixed members 22 may be folded back, and the first fixed member 22 may be fixed to the first fixed member 33. Thereafter, for example, a person caring for the infant 10 may insert their hand into any one of the plurality of openings 5, grab the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31, and pull them out of the opening 5, thereby turning the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 inside out. In this case, the front and back of the first fabric portion 21 and the front and back of the second fabric portion 31 can be changed, so that the contact surfaces of the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 with the body of the infant 10 can be selected.

[0100] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the multiple first fixing members 22 and the multiple second fixed members 23 are lined up on the boundary between the first fabric portion 21 and the hem portion 21h, and the multiple second fixing members 32 and the multiple first fixed members 33 are lined up on the boundary between the second fabric portion 31 and the hem portion 31h. However, the first fixing members 22 and the second fixed members 23 may be provided in the hem portion 21h, or may be provided on the inside of the hem portion 21h in the first fabric portion 21. The second fixing members 32 and the first fixed members 33 may be provided in the hem portion 31h, or may be provided on the inside of the second fabric portion 31 in the hem portion 31h.

[0101] The thickness (length in the third direction D3) of the portion of the first fabric portion 21 to which the hem portion 21h is fixed is greater than the thickness of the portion of the first fabric portion 21 to which the hem portion 21h is not fixed. The thickness of the portion of the second fabric portion 31 to which the hem portion 31h is fixed is greater than the thickness of the portion of the second fabric portion 31 to which the hem portion 31h is not fixed. When the fixing member 22a and the fixed member 23a are provided on the hem portion 21h or on the boundary between the first fabric portion 21 and the hem portion 21h, the fixing member 22a is fixed to the fixed member 33a, and the fixing member 32a is fixed to the fixed member 23a. At this time, gaps that occur between the portion including the fixing member 22a and the portion including the fixed member 33a, and between the portion including the fixed member 23a and the portion including the fixing member 32a, tend to become large. As a result, the gap that occurs between one shoulder of the infant 10 and the second fabric portion 31, and the gap that occurs between the other shoulder of the infant 10 and the first fabric portion 21 tend to become large. The same applies when the fixing member 32a and the fixed member 33a are provided on the hem portion 31h or on the boundary between the second fabric portion 31 and the hem portion 31h.

[0102] The fixing member 22a and the fixed member 23a may be provided on the inside of the hem portion 21h in the first fabric portion 21, and the fixing member 32a and the fixed member 33a may be provided on the inside of the hem portion 31h in the second fabric portion 31. In this case, when the fixing member 22a is fixed to the fixed member 33a and the fixing member 32a is fixed to the fixed member 23a, the gap generated between the first fabric portion 21 and the second fabric portion 31 can be reduced. This reduces the gap generated between the shoulders of the infant 10 and the fabric portion, thereby further improving the heat retention around both shoulders of the infant 10.

[0103] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 32 are male snap buttons, and the first fixed member 33 and the second fixed member 23 are female snap buttons. However, as described above, the types of the first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 are not particularly limited. For example, the first fixing member 22 and the second fixing member 32 may be hooks of a hook-and-loop fastener. In this case, the first fixed member 33 and the second fixed member 23 may be loops of a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0104] The first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener having fine irregularities. In this case, each of the first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 may include a flat plate and a plurality of protrusions protruding from one surface of the flat plate. As an example, each of the first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 may be Block Tape (registered trademark). However, each of the first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 may be something other than a hook-and-loop fastener. For example, the first fixing member 22, the second fixing member 32, the first fixed member 33, and the second fixed member 23 may be a magnet, and may be appropriately changed.

[0105] The first cloth member 2 may be, for example, a quilting member into which contents are inserted. More specifically, the first cloth member 2 may have a third cloth portion in addition to the first cloth portion 21. In this case, the third cloth portion is overlapped with the first cloth portion 21 in the third direction D3. For example, the shape and size of the third cloth portion are the same as the shape and size of the first cloth portion 21. Note that the shape and size of the third cloth portion can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0106] The third fabric portion has, for example, a fifth surface and a sixth surface located opposite the fifth surface in the third direction D3. The fifth surface faces the side opposite the first fabric portion 21. The sixth surface faces the first fabric portion 21. The sixth surface faces the first surface 21a in the third direction D3.

[0107] The material of the third fabric portion may be the same as or different from the material of the first fabric portion 21. In this modification, the first fabric portion 21 comes into contact with the body of the infant 10 when the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The material of the first fabric portion 21 may be, for example, a boa material that has excellent heat retention. In this modification, the third fabric portion is located on the opposite side of the body of the infant 10 from the first fabric portion 21 when the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The material of the third fabric portion may be, for example, cotton broadcloth.

[0108] For example, the peripheral edge of the third fabric portion is joined to the peripheral edge 21p of the first fabric portion 21. For example, the peripheral edge of the third fabric portion is sewn to the peripheral edge 21p of the first fabric portion 21. An internal space is formed between the third fabric portion and the first fabric portion 21 in the third direction D3.

[0109] The first fabric member 2 may contain a first content. The first content is accommodated in the internal space between the third fabric portion and the first fabric portion 21. The first content is, for example, cotton wadding, polyester wadding, or feathers. However, the first fabric member 2 does not have to contain the first content.

[0110] The first cloth member 2 may have a straight stitched portion. The straight stitched portion divides the internal space formed between the first cloth portion 21 and the third cloth portion. The first cloth member 2 may have a plurality of straight stitched portions. The first cloth member 2 may have a gusset portion (three-dimensional quilt) instead of or in addition to the straight stitched portion. The first cloth member 2 does not have to have a straight stitched portion.

[0111] The second cloth member 3 may be, for example, a quilting member into which contents are inserted. More specifically, the second cloth member 3 may have a fourth cloth portion in addition to the second cloth portion 31. In this case, the fourth cloth portion is overlapped with the second cloth portion 31 in the third direction D3. For example, the shape and size of the fourth cloth portion are the same as the shape and size of the second cloth portion 31. Note that the shape and size of the fourth cloth portion can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

[0112] The fourth fabric portion has, for example, a seventh surface and an eighth surface located opposite the seventh surface in the third direction D3. The seventh surface is a surface facing the opposite side to the second fabric portion 31. The eighth surface is a surface facing the second fabric portion 31. The eighth surface faces the third surface 31a in the third direction D3.

[0113] The material of the fourth fabric portion may be the same as or different from the material of the second fabric portion 31. In this modification, the second fabric portion 31 comes into contact with the body of the infant 10 when the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The material of the second fabric portion 31 may be, for example, a boa material that has excellent heat retention. In this modification, the fourth fabric portion is located on the opposite side of the body of the infant 10 from the second fabric portion 31 when the body of the infant 10 is accommodated in the sleeper 1. The material of the fourth fabric portion may be, for example, cotton broadcloth.

[0114] For example, the peripheral edge of the fourth fabric portion is joined to the peripheral edge 31p of the second fabric portion 31. For example, the peripheral edge of the fourth fabric portion is sewn to the peripheral edge 31p of the second fabric portion 31. An internal space is formed between the fourth fabric portion and the second fabric portion 31 in the third direction D3.

[0115] The second fabric member 3 may contain a second content. The second content is accommodated in the internal space between the fourth fabric portion and the second fabric portion 31. The material of the second content may be the same as the material of the first content, or may be different from the material of the first content. However, the second fabric member 3 does not have to contain the second content.

[0116] The second cloth member 3 may have a straight stitched portion. The straight stitched portion divides the internal space formed between the second cloth portion 31 and the fourth cloth portion. The second cloth member 3 may have a plurality of straight stitched portions. The second cloth member 3 may have a gusset portion (three-dimensional quilt) instead of or in addition to the straight stitched portion. The second cloth member 3 does not have to have a straight stitched portion. [Explanation of symbols]
