Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to the field of infant product technology, and more particularly to seats and rocking chairs including seats. [Background technology]

[0002] A rocking chair for infants typically includes a seat, a base, and other accessories. Rocking chairs not only provide infants with a space to rest or sleep, but also allow them to feel as if they are being held by a human body through the rocking motion, which encourages infants to sit or lie down in them for long periods of time. Therefore, more and more parents are using rocking chairs to carry their children. To ensure the safety of infants, rocking chairs are typically equipped with a strap system, such as shoulder belts, waist belts, crotch belts, and buckle assemblies.

[0003] However, it is not necessary to strap the strap system to the infant's body at all times while using the rocking chair. It is not usually necessary to use the strap system to secure the infant, especially when a user (such as the infant's parent) interacts with the infant in the rocking chair. When the strap system is not used, it is usually placed directly in the seat, which affects the aesthetics and tidiness of the rocking chair. Furthermore, when an infant is seated in the seat, the infant's body may be pressed against the strap system, which may affect the comfort of the rocking chair. In extreme cases, the strap system may even become entangled in parts of the infant's body (such as the limbs or head), which poses a safety hazard when using the rocking chair. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Based on this, and in relation to the above technical problem, there is a need to provide a seat capable of storing a strap system and a rocking chair including the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0023] To facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will now be described more comprehensively with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more complete understanding of the contents disclosed in the present disclosure.

[0024] When one part is considered to be "connected" to another part, it may be directly connected to and integral with the other part, or intermediate elements may coexist. As used herein, the terms "mount," "one end," "other end," and similar expressions are for descriptive purposes only.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the specification of the present disclosure are only intended to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] 1 to 3 , a rocking chair 1 is provided according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The rocking chair 1 includes at least a seat 10 and a base 20. The seat 10 is connected to and secured to the base 20. Optionally, the seat 10 is removably connected to and secured to the base 20, for example, through a snap connection, a bolt connection, or the like. The seat 10 includes a bracket 101, a lower cover 102, and a strap system 103. The lower cover 102 is connected to and secured to the bracket 101. Optionally, the lower cover 102 is removably connected to and secured to the bracket 101 through a snap connection, a bolt connection, or any other suitable method. The strap system 103 includes a buckle assembly 1032 and a safety strap 1031. The buckle assembly 1032 is configured to removably secure the safety strap 1031. One end of the safety strap 1031 is connected to the lower cover 102, and the other end of the safety strap 1031 is fastened through a buckle assembly 1032. In this embodiment, the safety strap 1031 includes a shoulder belt 10311, a waist belt 10312, and a crotch belt 10313. One end of each of the shoulder belt 10311, the waist belt 10312, and the crotch belt 10313 is connected to the lower cover 102, and the other ends of the shoulder belt 10311, the waist belt 10312, and the crotch belt 10313 are removably fastened to each other through the safety strap 1031. Those skilled in the art should know that the safety strap 1031 can be increased or decreased as needed according to actual usage requirements, and this is not a limitation in the present disclosure.

[0027] 2 and 3, the rocking chair 1 further includes a seat cloth 104. When the strap system 103 is fastened, the strap system 103 is positioned above the seat cloth 104. The lower cover 102 is provided with a storage groove 1021, and the strap system 103 is at least partially retractable into the storage groove 1021. In this embodiment, the storage groove 1021 is provided at a position on the lower cover 102 corresponding to the buttocks of an infant sitting in the seat 10. An advantage of this arrangement is that the strap system 103 is less likely to slip out of the storage groove 1021 by utilizing the tendency of the strap system 103 to slide into the storage groove 1021 due to its own gravity. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the storage groove 1021 is positioned at a position that approximately corresponds to the buckle assembly 1032 when the strap system 103 is in normal use. Therefore, when storing the strap system 103, it is only necessary to unlock the buckle assembly 1032, and then the safety strap 1031 (one end of which is connected to the unlocked buckle assembly 1032) can be passed under the seat cloth 104 and the strap system 103 can be stored in the storage groove 1021. This does not require removing the safety strap 1031 from the lower cover, making the storage operation more convenient. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the storage groove 1021 can be located at another position on the lower cover 102 according to actual requirements. For example, the storage groove 1021 is provided at a position on the lower cover 102 corresponding to the back of an infant sitting in the seat 10, or multiple storage grooves are provided on the lower cover 102 at positions corresponding to the shoulder belt, crotch belt, and waist belt so as to store the shoulder belt, crotch belt, waist belt, and the buckle assemblies connected thereto, respectively. In this embodiment, the storage groove 1021 is integrally formed with the lower cover 102. For example, the storage groove 1021 is a groove formed by downwardly recessing at least a portion of the upper surface of the lower cover 102. Optionally, the storage groove 1021 may be configured in a shape such as a rectangle, a circle, an oval, a polygon, or the like.In other embodiments, the storage groove 1021 and the bottom cover 102 can be separate components. Optionally, the storage groove 1021 is removably secured to the bottom cover 102 via a snap connection, a bolt connection, or other suitable method, or the storage groove 1021 is permanently secured to the bottom cover 102 via welding, crimping, or other suitable method. In such an embodiment, an opening (not shown) is provided in the bottom cover 102 at a location corresponding to the storage groove 1021, through which the strap system 103 can enter the storage groove 1021. Optionally, the depth D (see FIG. 2 ) of the storage groove 1021 ranges from 12 mm to 30 mm. Preferably, the depth D of the storage groove 1021 is 20 mm.

[0028] 2 to 6 , the lower cover 102 is provided with a first through-hole 1022, and one end of a safety strap 1031 can pass through the first through-hole 1022 to achieve connection between the safety strap 1031 and the lower cover 102. Optionally, the safety strap 1031 is detachably or non-detachably connected to the lower cover 102. Preferably, the buckle assembly 1032 cannot pass through the first through-hole 1022, preventing the strap system 103 from accidentally falling off the lower cover 102. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4 , a first end of the safety strap 1031 is connected to the buckle assembly 1032. The second end of the safety strap 1031 passes through the first through-hole 1022, and a "bow" head is formed at one end of the second end. After passing through the first through-hole 1022, the second end of the safety strap 1031 cannot easily exit the first through-hole 1022, thereby realizing the connection between the safety strap 1031 and the lower cover 102. For convenience of explanation, the term "bow" will be used hereinafter to refer to the "bow" head of the belt structure. The structure and function of the bow are known in the art and will not be described in detail herein. The connection between the safety strap 1031 and the lower cover 102 through the "bow" is merely an optional implementation method of the present application. In other embodiments, the connection between the safety strap 1031 and the lower cover 102 can be realized in other suitable ways. For example, a stopper (not shown) may be provided at the portion of the safety strap 1031 passing through the first through-hole 1022 to prevent the portion of the safety strap 1031 passing through the first through-hole 1022 from exiting the first through-hole 1022, or a clamp device (not shown) may be provided at the first through-hole 1022 to prevent the portion of the safety strap 1031 passing through the first through-hole 1022 from exiting the first through-hole 1022. The number of the first through-holes 1022 is equal to or greater than the number of the safety straps 1031. For example, in this embodiment, the safety strap 1031 includes two shoulder belts 10311, two waist belts 10312, and one crotch belt 10313, so the number of the first through-holes 1022 may be set to at least five correspondingly.Optionally, the number of first through-holes 1022 can be set to more than five, for example, 7 or 9, to facilitate adjustment of the connection position of the safety strap 1031 to accommodate infants of different sizes. For example, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the number of first through-holes 1022 is set to 7, and four first through-holes 1022 are provided for the shoulder belts 10311 to pass through, to facilitate adjustment of the connection position of the shoulder belts 10311 to accommodate infants of different sizes.

[0029] 1 to 4, the seat cloth 104 has a plastic steel band (not shown) attached to its outer edge, and is fastened to the bracket 101 through the plastic steel band. The method of connecting the seat cloth 104 to the bracket 101 is known in the art and will not be described in detail again herein. The seat cloth 104 is disposed above the lower cover 102 so that the seat cloth can cover the upper surface of the lower cover 102 and the storage groove 1021 at the same time. A gap is formed between the lower surface of the seat cloth 104 and the upper surface of the lower cover 102. A user (e.g., a parent of an infant) can reach deep into the gap through the opening 30 formed by the lower cover 102 and the bracket 101 to pull the strap system 103 into the storage groove 1021, as will be described in more detail below.

[0030] 2 to 4 , in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the seat cloth 104 is provided with a connecting belt 1041, and the lower cover 102 is further provided with a second through-hole 1023, one end of the connecting belt 1041 is connected to the seat cloth 104, and the other end of the connecting belt 1041 passes through the second through-hole 1023 and is fixedly connected to the second through-hole 1023, thereby fixing the size of the gap between the seat cloth 104 and the lower cover 102. The size of the gap can satisfy the requirement of inserting a hand deep into the gap to pull the strap system 103 into the storage groove 1021, while preventing a child from accidentally entering the gap, thereby ensuring the safety of the rocking chair 1. Optionally, the fixed connection between the connecting belt 1041 and the second through-hole 1023 is detachable (e.g., via a bow tie). The number of the second through-holes 1023 is equal to or greater than the number of the connecting belts 1041. For example, in this embodiment, since the number of connecting belts 1041 is 4, the number of second through holes 1023 is correspondingly set to at least 4. Optionally, the number of second through holes 1023 can be set to more than 4, for example, 5 or 7, to facilitate adaptation to sheet cloths 104 having different numbers of connecting belts 1041.

[0031] 1 and 7 , in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the seat cloth 104 is provided with third through-holes 1042, and the strap system 103 can pass through the third through-holes 1042. The number and positions of the third through-holes 1042 correspond to the number and positions of the first through-holes 1022 of the lower cover 102. For example, the number of the third through-holes 1042 is set to seven, and four third through-holes 1042 are provided for the shoulder belts 10311 to pass through. After the seat cloth 104 is attached to the bracket 101, the positions of the third through-holes 1042 overlap with the positions of the first through-holes 1022 of the lower cover 102, allowing the strap system 103 to pass through the third through-holes 1042 and enter the gap between the lower surface of the seat cloth 104 and the upper surface of the lower cover 102.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a partition 1043 is provided at a position on the seat cloth 104 corresponding to the storage groove 1021. Referring to FIG. 7 , the partition 1043 is disposed on the seat cloth 104 and is not visible when the rocking chair 1 is in use. Therefore, the partition 1043 is schematically indicated by a dashed box in FIG. 7 . The area of ​​the partition 1043 is slightly larger than the opening of the storage groove 1021 and covers the storage groove 1021, thereby ensuring the flatness of the seat 10 and improving the comfort of the child. Optionally, the partition 1043 is made of wood, metal, or plastic. Preferably, the partition 1043 is made of polyethylene. The thickness of the partition 1043 can be reasonably selected according to the material. For example, when the partition 1043 is made of polyethylene, the thickness of the partition 1043 is in the range of 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0033] FIG. 8 shows a rocking chair 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
