Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2022112676147, filed on October 17, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Technical Field]

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of baby products, and in particular to fastening parts, attachment parts, and baby products. [Background technology]

[0003] Baby products, such as strollers, child safety seats, or crib mattresses, are typically provided with flexible structures, such as knitted fabrics, to improve the comfort of infants. To accommodate various functional needs, the flexible structures are typically provided with connecting members, such as hook-and-loop fasteners or snap buttons, to connect different flexible structures together or different parts of the same flexible structure together. Generally, the connecting members and the flexible structures are fastened together by sewing. This sewing method requires more labor and is not aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the connection strength between the connecting members and the flexible structure is low, making the connection prone to failure after long-term use. Furthermore, repeated sewing may cause numerous small holes in the flexible structure, resulting in damage to the flexible structure. Furthermore, repeated use of the connecting members after insertion and fastening into the flexible structure may also damage the flexible structure. Summary of the Invention

The adhesive medium is provided between the connecting member and the flexible structure. The connecting member is fixed to the flexible structure via the adhesive medium.

[0006] Since the connecting member is fixed to the flexible structure through an adhesive medium, the connecting member is firmly bonded to the flexible structure and is less likely to cause connection failure. In addition, compared to conventional fastening methods using sewing, fastening using an adhesive medium can significantly reduce labor and costs. Furthermore, sewing marks are not left behind and many holes are not made in the flexible structure, so the overall appearance of the baby product is hardly affected.

[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are only used for illustrating the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0042] When a component is described as being "fixed to" another component, the components may be directly adjacent or may have intermediate components interposed therebetween. When a component is described as being "connected to" another component, the components may be directly connected or may have intermediate components interposed therebetween. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar terms are used herein for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent the only embodiments.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in describing this application are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more items from the listed items associated with the term.

[0044] The embodiments of the present application provide a fixing component applied to baby products, such as car safety seats, strollers, mattresses, baby slings, baby carrycots, or baby boxes, etc. In the fixing component applied to baby products, there is a strong and reliable connection between a connecting member and a flexible structure.

[0045] 1 and 2, the fixing part 200 is at least partially applied to the body of the baby product. Furthermore, the fixing part 200 can be implemented in various ways.

[0046] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a fastening component 200 includes a flexible structure 210, at least one connecting member, and an adhesive medium.

[0047] The flexible structure 210 may be made of a single layer of fabric or multiple layers of fabric. For example, the fabric may be a canopy cloth or seat cloth that covers a frame, or a seat cloth that covers the back or base of a vehicle safety seat. In another embodiment, the fabric may be webbing. The flexible structure 210 may be made of, for example, polyester, acrylic, nylon, or knitted fabric. The flexible structure 210 may be made of one piece of fabric or multiple pieces of fabric. In this embodiment, the flexible structure 210 is made of one piece of fabric.

[0048] In this embodiment, the fixing component 200 includes a first connecting member 220 and a second connecting member 230. As shown in FIG. 2 , the fixing component 200 according to this embodiment is provided with a first adhesive medium L1 and a second adhesive medium L2, which correspond to the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230, respectively. Note that in this application, the number of connecting members is not limited to the same as the number of adhesive media. The number of connecting members may be greater or less than the number of adhesive media.

[0049] The first connecting member 220 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 230. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 220 is a hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener, and the second connecting member 230 is a loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener. In other embodiments, the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 may have other structures that enable a detachable connection. The first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 may be arranged in different parts of the same fabric, or may be arranged in different fabrics. For example, if the flexible structure 210 is configured to cover the frame of a stroller, the flexible structure 210 may include the stroller's canopy fabric and backrest cloth. The first connecting member 220 may be arranged in the canopy fabric, and the second connecting member 230 may be arranged in the backrest cloth. In this manner, a detachable connection between the canopy fabric and the backrest cloth may be achieved through the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230. In other embodiments, the application of the fixing component 200 of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0050] 2, a first adhesive medium L1 is disposed between the first connection member 220 and the flexible structure 210, and the first connection member 220 is fixed to the flexible structure 210 via the first adhesive medium L1. A second adhesive medium L2 is disposed between the second connection member 230 and the flexible structure 210, and the second connection member 230 is fixed to the flexible structure 210 via the second adhesive medium L2.

[0051] In this embodiment, both the first adhesive medium L1 and the second adhesive medium L2 are polyurethane adhesives. In other embodiments, the first adhesive medium L1 and the second adhesive medium L2 may be other types of adhesives, such as polyamide-based, polyester-based, or polyethylene-based. The first adhesive medium L1 (or the second adhesive medium L2) is generally selected taking into consideration the materials used to form the first connecting member 220 (or the second connecting member 230) and the flexible structure 210, which are the objects to be connected. The first adhesive medium L1 (or the second adhesive medium L2) is required to have relatively similar physical properties to the first connecting member 220 (or the second connecting member 230) and the flexible structure 210, which are the objects to be connected, respectively.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixing component 200 can be subjected to thermocompression bonding. As a result, under high temperature and pressure, the first connecting member 220 and the flexible structure 210 are more tightly fixed to each other by the first adhesive medium L1, and the second connecting member 230 and the flexible structure 210 are more tightly fixed to each other by the second adhesive medium L2. In one embodiment, thermocompression bonding may be performed using a thermal transfer device.

[0053] Taking the first connecting member 220, the first adhesive medium L1, and the flexible structure 210 as examples, the specific process of thermocompression bonding will be described.

[0054] The flexible structure 210 is placed on a workbench. Next, the first connecting member 220 (which is the hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener in this embodiment) is placed flat on the flexible structure 210. A first adhesive medium L1 is placed on the surface of the flexible structure 210 facing the first connecting member 220, or on the surface of the first connecting member 220 facing the flexible structure 210. Next, a thermal transfer device moves above the first connecting member 220 and presses the first connecting member 220 and the flexible structure 210, thereby bonding the first connecting member 220 to the flexible structure 210.

[0055] The thermocompression bonding of the second connection member 230, the second adhesive medium L2, and the flexible structure 210 is the same as described above, and therefore will not be described again here. In other embodiments, the pressure and temperature of the thermocompression bonding can be adjusted as needed.

[0056] In other embodiments, the second connecting member 230 and the second adhesive medium L2 of the fixing part 200 may be omitted. The first connecting member 220 may be connected to a corresponding connecting structure of another external device. For example, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 220 is a hook surface of a hook-and-loop fastener, but it may also be connected to a loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener provided on the caregiver's backpack. This allows the caregiver to fasten the backpack to the baby product, reducing the burden on the caregiver.

[0057] In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the fixing component 200 may include a flexible structure 210, a first connecting member 220, a second connecting member 230, a first adhesive medium L1 (not shown), a second adhesive medium L2 (not shown), a first reinforcing structure 240, and a second reinforcing structure 250.

[0058] As described above, the flexible structure 210 may be composed of a fabric covering a frame or a vehicle safety seat. For example, the flexible structure 210 may be a hood cloth or seat cloth covering a frame, or may be a seat cloth covering the outside of the backrest or base of a vehicle safety seat. The flexible structure 210 may be composed of, for example, polyester, acrylic, nylon, knitted fabric, or thick dyed fabric of 300 denier or more. The flexible structure 210 may be composed of a single piece of fabric, or may include multiple pieces of fabric. In this embodiment, the flexible structure 210 is two pieces of fabric separated from each other.

[0059] As shown in Figure 4, the first reinforcing structure 240 (or the second reinforcing structure 250) covers a portion of the surface of the flexible structure 210, but this is not limiting. As shown in Figure 5, in other embodiments, the first reinforcing structure 240 (or the second reinforcing structure 250) covers the entire surface of the flexible structure 210. In some embodiments, the elasticity of the first reinforcing structure 240 and the second reinforcing structure 250 is lower than the elasticity of the flexible structure 210. In other words, the first reinforcing structure 240 and the second reinforcing structure 250 may be made of a fabric with low elasticity, such as polyester or a non-elastic knitted fabric.

[0060] When the elastic structure 210 is made of a material with relatively high elasticity, such as a knitted fabric or a thick dyed fabric of 300 denier or more, there are relatively large gaps between the threads of the elastic structure 210. By disposing a first reinforcing structure 240 (or a second reinforcing structure 250) with low elasticity between the first connecting member 220 (or the second connecting member 230) and the elastic structure 210, the connection strength between the first connecting member 220 (or the second connecting member 230) and the elastic structure 210 can be improved.

[0061] To provide cushioning, a foam (not shown) may be provided or filled between the first reinforcement structure 240 and the elastic structure 210. In other embodiments, other types of cushioning structures, such as silicone or rubber, may be provided between the first reinforcement structure 240 and the elastic structure 210. Alternatively, in other embodiments, no cushioning structure may be provided. Similarly, the second reinforcement structure 250 also covers some or all of the surface of the flexible structure 210. The second reinforcement structure 250 is made of an inelastic fabric, such as polyester or an inelastic knitted fabric. To provide cushioning, a foam may be provided or filled between the second reinforcement structure 250 and the elastic structure 210. In other embodiments, other types of cushioning structures, such as silicone or rubber, may be provided between the second reinforcement structure 250 and the elastic structure 210. Alternatively, in other embodiments, no cushioning structure may be provided.

[0062] Furthermore, a first adhesive medium L1 is disposed between the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210, and the first reinforcing structure 240 is fixed to the flexible structure 210 via the first adhesive medium L1. A second adhesive medium L2 is disposed between the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210, and the second reinforcing structure 250 is fixed to the flexible structure 210 via the second adhesive medium L2.

[0063] In this embodiment, both the first adhesive medium L1 and the second adhesive medium L2 are polyurethane adhesives. In other embodiments, the first adhesive medium L1 and the second adhesive medium L2 may be other types of adhesives, such as polyamide-based, polyester-based, or polyethylene-based. The first adhesive medium L1 (or the second adhesive medium L2) is generally selected taking into consideration the materials used to construct the first reinforcing structure 240 (or the second reinforcing structure 250) and the flexible structure 210 to be connected. The flexible structure 210 is required to have relatively similar properties to the first reinforcing structure 240 (or the second reinforcing structure 250) and the flexible structure 210 to be connected.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first reinforcing structure 240 (or the second reinforcing structure) and the elastic structure 210 may be bonded to each other by thermocompression. The thermocompression may be performed using a thermal transfer device. The specific thermocompression process will be described using the first reinforcing structure 240, the first adhesive medium L1, and the flexible structure 210 as an example.

[0065] The flexible structure 210 is placed on a workbench. Next, the first reinforcing structure 240 (which is polyester in this embodiment) is placed flat on the flexible structure 210. A first adhesive medium L1 is placed on the surface of the flexible structure 210 facing the first reinforcing structure 240, or on the surface of the first reinforcing structure 240 facing the flexible structure 210. Next, a thermal transfer device moves above the first reinforcing structure 240 and presses the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210 together, thereby bonding the first reinforcing structure 240 to the flexible structure 210.

[0066] The thermocompression bonding of the second reinforcement structure 250, the second adhesive medium L2, and the flexible structure 210 is the same as described above, and therefore will not be described again here. In other embodiments, the pressure and temperature of the thermocompression bonding can be adjusted as needed.

[0067] 6 and 7, in an embodiment, the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 may be components of a snap button. The first connecting member 220 may include a first connecting portion 221 and a first fixing portion 222. The first connecting portion 221 and the first fixing portion 222 are respectively disposed on both sides of the flexible structure 210. Referring to FIG. 4, the first reinforcing structure 240 is disposed between the flexible structure 210 and the first fixing portion 222.

[0068] The first fastening portion 222 may be configured to extend through the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210 and be connected to the first connecting portion 221. In another embodiment, the first connecting portion 221 may be configured to extend through the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210 and be connected to the first fastening portion 222. For example, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 221 is a male snap button, and the first fastening portion 222 is a first opposing button. The male snap button includes a first alignment hole 2211, and the first opposing button includes a first spike portion 2221 engageable with the first alignment hole 2211. The first spike portion 2221 extends through the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210 and is connected to the first alignment hole 2211. As a result, the first connecting member 220 penetrates the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210 and is fixed to the first reinforcing structure 240 and the flexible structure 210.

[0069] 8 and 9, the second connecting member 230 includes a second connecting portion 231 and a second fixing portion 232. The second connecting portion 231 and the second fixing portion 232 are respectively disposed on both sides of the flexible structure 210. Referring again to FIG. 4 or 5, the second reinforcing structure 250 is disposed between the flexible structure 210 and the second fixing portion 232. The second fixing portion 232 may be configured to extend through the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210 and be connected to the second connecting portion 231. In another embodiment, the second connecting portion 231 may be configured to extend through the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210 and be connected to the second fixing portion 232. For example, in this embodiment, the second connecting portion 231 is a female snap button, and the second fixing portion 232 is a second opposing button. The female snap button includes a second alignment hole 2311, and the second opposing button includes a second spike portion 2321 that is engageable with the second alignment hole 2311. The second spike portion 2321 extends through the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210 and is connected to the second fitting hole 2311. Thereby, the second connecting member 230 penetrates the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210 and is fixed to the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210.

[0070] 6 and 8, the male snap button includes a protrusion 2212, and the female snap button includes a recess 2312 connected to the protrusion 2212. The male snap button and the female snap button may be removably connected to each other by connecting the recess 2312 to the protrusion 2212. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 221 and the second connecting portion 231 may have other structures. For example, the first connecting portion 221 may be a first magnetically attracted portion (not shown), and the second connecting portion 231 may be a second magnetically attracted portion (not shown) that can be magnetically connected to the first magnetically attracted portion. However, the present application is not limited thereto.

[0071] In other embodiments, the second reinforcing structure 250, the second connecting member 230, and the second adhesive medium L2 of the fixing component 200 may be omitted. The first connecting member 220 may be connected to a corresponding connecting structure of another external device (not shown). For example, the first connecting member 220 in this embodiment is a male snap button, but may be configured to be connected to a female snap button provided on a caregiver's backpack. This allows the caregiver to fasten the backpack to the baby product, reducing the burden on the caregiver.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first reinforcement structure 240 is disposed at a position on the flexible structure 210 through which the first spike portion 2221 penetrates. The second reinforcement structure 250 is disposed at a position on the flexible structure 210 through which the second spike portion 2321 penetrates. Therefore, even if an external force that disengages the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 is repeatedly applied, the first reinforcement structure 240 and the second reinforcement structure 250 can hold the first spike portion 2221 and the second spike portion 2321, respectively. This prevents the flexible structure 210 from being pulled by the first spike portion 2221 or the second spike portion 2321, even if an external force is applied, and prevents damage to the thread of the flexible structure 210. In this way, the first connecting member 220 or the second connecting member 230 can be firmly fixed to the flexible structure 210 and will not easily come loose. This improves the durability of the fixing component 200.

[0073] 10 , in other embodiments, the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 may be arranged at different positions on the same flexible structure 210. The distance between the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 can be set according to actual needs and is not particularly limited in the present specification. The fixing component 200 according to this embodiment includes a first reinforcing structure 240 and a second reinforcing structure 250 that partially cover the flexible structure 210. The first reinforcing structure 240 and the second reinforcing structure 250 are arranged corresponding to the positions of the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230, respectively.

[0074] The first reinforcement structure 240 may be adhered to the flexible structure 210 via a first adhesive medium L1, and the second reinforcement structure 250 may be adhered to the flexible structure 210 via a second adhesive medium L2. In this embodiment, the first connection portion 221 of the first connecting member 220 and the first reinforcement structure 240 are located on opposite sides of the flexible structure 210. Therefore, the first fixing portion 222 is connected to the first connection portion 221 by extending through the first reinforcement structure 240 and the flexible structure 210. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0075] In another embodiment, the first connecting portion 221 and the first reinforcing structure 240 may be disposed on the same side of the flexible structure 210. That is, the first reinforcing structure 240 may be disposed between the first connecting portion 221 and the flexible structure 210. In this case, the first fixing portion 222 first penetrates the flexible structure 210, then penetrates the first reinforcing structure 240, and is connected to the first connecting portion 221. As long as the first reinforcing structure 240 can hold the first spike portion 2221 of the first fixing portion 222, the connection strength between the first connecting member 220 and the flexible structure 210 can be increased, and durability can be improved.

[0076] Similarly, the second fixing portion 232 of the second connecting member 230 and the second reinforcing structure 250 are arranged on the same side of the flexible structure 210, and the second fixing portion 232 passes through the second reinforcing structure 250 and the flexible structure 210 and is connected to the second connecting portion 231. In another embodiment, the second connecting portion 231 and the second reinforcing structure 250 may also be arranged on the same side of the flexible structure 210. As long as the second reinforcing structure 250 can hold the second spike portion 2321 of the second fixing portion 232, the connection strength between the second connecting member 230 and the flexible structure 210 can be increased, and durability can be improved.

[0077] 11 , the third reinforcing structure 260 of the fixing component 200 in this embodiment has a continuous structure, extending from the first connecting member 220 to the second connecting member 230. In detail, the first fixing portion 222 of the first connecting member 220 and the second fixing portion 232 of the second connecting member 230 pass through the same third reinforcing structure 260 and also pass through the flexible structure 210, and are connected to the first connecting portion 221 and the second connecting portion 231, respectively.

[0078] In this embodiment, the third reinforcing structure 260 completely covers the flexible structure 210, but this is not limiting. In other embodiments, as long as the third reinforcing structure 260 covers a predetermined area of ​​the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230, poor connection between the first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 after repeated use can be prevented, thereby improving durability. Furthermore, the third reinforcing structure 260 may be made of a fabric with low elasticity, and the flexible structure 210 may be made of a fabric with high elasticity. In some embodiments, the third reinforcing structure 260 may be made of the same material as the first reinforcing structure 240 or the second reinforcing structure 250 described above, and the details thereof will not be repeated here.

[0079] In this embodiment, the third reinforcing structure 260 is adhered to the flexible structure 210 via an adhesive medium L. In other words, the adhesive medium L is disposed between the third reinforcing structure 260 and the flexible structure 210. The third reinforcing structure 260 may also be bonded to the flexible structure 210 by thermocompression bonding. The conditions and process for thermocompression bonding can be found in the above description, and therefore will not be described again here.

[0080] 12 and 13 , in yet another embodiment, a baby product may include a structural frame 100. If the baby product is a stroller, the structural frame 100 may be a stroller frame (not shown). If the baby product is a vehicle safety seat, the structural frame 100 may be a backrest 110 or a base 120. The baby product according to this embodiment may further include an attachment part 300 and a belt-like structure 400. First, in this embodiment, a vehicle safety seat is exemplified as the baby product, but the attachment part 300 can also be applied to other baby products, such as a stroller. Therefore, the application field of the attachment part 300 is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0081] The mounting part 300 includes a flexible structure 310, a reinforcing member 320, and a third adhesive medium (not shown). In the fixed part 200, the flexible structure 310 and the flexible structure 210 may be made of the same fabric or different fabrics. The flexible structure 310 is at least partially fixed to the structural frame 100 of the baby product. In this embodiment, the flexible structure 310 includes a first seat cloth 311 that covers the backrest 110 of the vehicle safety seat and a second seat cloth 312 that covers the base 120 of the vehicle safety seat.

[0082] In one embodiment, the flexible structure 310 may be made of a mesh cloth with excellent breathability. For example, when used as a seat cloth for a vehicle safety seat or a stroller, it can improve the seating comfort of an infant. In other embodiments, the flexible structure 310 may be made of other materials, such as polyester or knit cloth. The first seat cloth 311 has two first through holes h1, and the second seat cloth 312 has one first through hole (not shown). The reinforcing member 320 may be made of, for example, rubber or fabric. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 320 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). TPU has excellent high elongation, high tensile strength, toughness, and aging resistance, and is a mature, environmentally friendly material.

[0083] In this embodiment, the number of reinforcing members 320 corresponds to the number of first through holes h1. Therefore, three reinforcing members 320 are arranged on the flexible structure 310. Each reinforcing member 320 includes a second through hole 321 corresponding to the first through hole h1. Each reinforcing member 320 is fixed to the corresponding flexible structure 310 via a third adhesive medium. The second through hole 321 of each reinforcing member 320 at least partially overlaps the corresponding first through hole h1. In this embodiment, the second through hole 321 completely overlaps the corresponding first through hole h1. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement positions of the first through holes h1 and the second through holes 321 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0084] Furthermore, the mounting component 300 may be manufactured by subjecting the reinforcing member 320 and the flexible structure 310 to heat and pressure bonding. Specifically, each reinforcing member 320 and the flexible structure 310 (including the first sheet cloth 311 and the second sheet cloth 312) are more firmly fixed together by using a third adhesive medium under high temperature and pressure. In this embodiment, heat and pressure bonding may be performed using a thermal transfer device.

[0085] Taking one of the reinforcing members 320, one of the third adhesive media, and one of the flexible structures 310 as an example, a specific process of thermocompression bonding will be described.

[0086] The flexible structure 310 is placed on a workbench. Next, the reinforcing member 320 is placed flat on the flexible structure 310. The second through-hole 321 of the reinforcing member 320 is positioned to correspond to the first through-hole h1 of the flexible structure 310, so that the first through-hole h1 and the second through-hole 321 at least partially overlap each other. A third adhesive medium is placed on the surface of the flexible structure 310 facing the reinforcing member 320, or on the surface of the reinforcing member 320 facing the flexible structure 310. Next, a thermal transfer device is moved above the reinforcing member 320 and presses the reinforcing member 320 and the flexible structure 310 together, thereby bonding the reinforcing member 320 to the flexible structure 310. In other embodiments, the pressure and temperature of the thermocompression bonding can be adjusted as needed.

[0087] The belt-like structure 400 may also be a safety belt for a baby product. In other embodiments, the belt-like structure 400 may be another connecting belt for a baby product, an adjustment belt for adjusting the inclination of the backrest 110, or the like.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 12 , the safety belt includes a first safety belt 410, a second safety belt 420, and a third safety belt 430. The first safety belt 410 and the second safety belt 420 pass through two first through-holes h1 provided in the seat cloth of the backrest 110 and two corresponding second through-holes 321 provided in the two reinforcing members 320, respectively, to extend from the back surface of the backrest 110 to the front, and are connected to a connecting buckle 500. The third safety belt 430 passes through a first through-hole provided in the second seat cloth 312 of the base 120 and a corresponding second through-hole 321 provided in the reinforcing member 320, to extend toward the upper surface of the base 120, and are connected to the connecting buckle 500. In this way, the first safety belt 410, the second safety belt 420, and the third safety belt 430 can restrain the infant in the vehicle safety seat, ensuring the infant's safety.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 13 , the first seat cloth 311 or the second seat cloth 312 may be worn at the edge of the first through hole h1 as the first safety belt 410, the second safety belt 420, and the third safety belt 430 move. In this embodiment, the material constituting the reinforcing member 320 is stronger and more wear-resistant than the material constituting the flexible structure 310. Therefore, by arranging the reinforcing member 320 corresponding to these positions, wear of the first seat cloth 311 or the second seat cloth 312 can be reduced. Also, in this embodiment, the diameter of the second through hole 321 is smaller than the diameter of the first through hole h1. With this configuration, when the first safety belt 410, the second safety belt 420, and the third safety belt 430 are used, these safety belts only come into contact with the reinforcing member 320, and frequent rubbing against the edge of the first through hole h1 can be prevented.

[0090] The reinforcing member 320 may be fixed to the flexible structure 310 by gluing or additional heat and pressure bonding. Compared to sewing, the gluing or additional heat and pressure bonding methods used in the present application are stronger and can significantly reduce labor and costs. Furthermore, they do not leave stitching marks or create many holes in the flexible structure 310, minimizing the impact on the overall appearance of the baby product. Additionally, by disposing the reinforcing member 320, there is no need to hand-sew the edge of the first through-hole h1 of the flexible structure 310, reducing work time and labor costs.

[0091] 14, the fixing part 200 can be applied to a baby product. The baby product may be, but is not limited to, a baby sling. The baby product includes a main body and the fixing part 200. The fixing part 200 includes a flexible structure 210, a first connecting member 220, a second connecting member 230, a first adhesive medium L1, and a second adhesive medium L2. In this embodiment, the flexible structure 210 is a webbing and is fixed to the main body.

[0092] The first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 are respectively arranged at both ends of the ribbon. The first connecting member 220 and the second connecting member 230 are bonded to the flexible structure 210 via a first adhesive medium L1 and a second adhesive medium L2, respectively. The first connecting member 220 is removably connected to the second connecting member 230. In another embodiment, any of the fixing components 200 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 may be applied to a baby sling.

[0093] 15 , in another embodiment, the baby product is a mattress, and the fixing component 200 can be applied to the mattress. In detail, the fixing component 200 includes a flexible structure 210, a first connecting member 220, a second connecting member 230, and an adhesive medium L.

[0094] The flexible structure 210 may be a fabric covering the outside of the mattress body, and the first connecting member 220 is joined to the flexible structure 210 via an adhesive medium L. One end of the first connecting member 220 may be connected to one end of the second connecting member 230. In this embodiment, the other end of the second connecting member 230 is not directly fixed to the flexible structure 210. With this configuration, when using the mattress, the other end of the second connecting member 230 can be wrapped around the handrail of a crib or other rod-shaped fixing material and then connected to the first connecting member 220. This makes it possible to fix the mattress. In other embodiments, any of the fixing components 200 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 may be applied to the mattress.

[0095] The above-mentioned fixing part 200, attachment part 300, and baby product have at least the following technical effects.

[0096] Since the connecting member (or reinforcing member 320) is fixed to the flexible structure 210 (or the flexible structure 310) via an adhesive medium, the connecting member (or reinforcing member 320) is firmly bonded to the flexible structure 210 (or the flexible structure 310) and is less likely to fail. In addition, compared to the conventional fastening method using sewing, fastening using an adhesive medium can significantly reduce labor and costs. Furthermore, sewing marks are not left behind and many holes are not made in the flexible structure 210 (or the flexible structure 310), and the overall appearance of the baby product is hardly affected.

[0097] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. For the sake of simplicity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, all combinations of these technical features should be construed as being within the scope of the present application as described herein, provided they are not mutually inconsistent.

[0098] The above embodiments merely illustrate some embodiments of the present application, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make further modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are also included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be based on the appended claims. [Explanation of symbols]
