Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a swaddling cloth for wrapping an infant's body when putting it to sleep or moving it, and in particular to a swaddling cloth that can reliably hold the infant's spine in a posteriorly curved C-shape (hereinafter referred to as a C-curve). [Background technology]

[0002] In general, infants bend their limbs and lick their hands, just like when they were in their mother's womb. As a result, the infant's spine is in a C-curve, which curves backward, but as they develop the ability to sit up and roll over, it approaches the physiological curvature of an adult (the so-called "S-curve").

[0003] Therefore, before an infant's spine forms an S-curve, specifically, until they are three months old and can no longer hold their head up, if they are placed on flat bedding, this C-curve will be forcibly stretched. If this condition continues, stress will be placed on the infant's spine and buttocks, and the effects of gravity will cause postural deformation and a loss of muscle mass.

[0004] Therefore, various baby devices have been proposed that allow babies to lie down and move with their spines in a C-curve. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a sheet for infants that has a wrapping portion on the surface that wraps around the bottom of the infant (hereinafter referred to as the conventional example).

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Design Registration No. 1432006 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In conventional cases, the baby's arms are free to move when in use, which causes the baby to move around freely, making it difficult to keep the baby's spine in a C-curve position. Another issue was that it was difficult to use it to create a body map that would help infants become aware of the presence of their hands, or to make it easier for them to lick their fingers.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a swaddling cloth that can reliably keep the baby's spine in a C-curve position, can be used to create a body map that makes the baby aware of the presence of their hands, and can make it easier for the baby to lick their fingers. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The swaddling cloth of this invention is a main body having a surface provided with a wrapping portion that wraps around the buttocks of an infant; a first belt-shaped member and a second belt-shaped member provided on both side surfaces of the main body, and a through-hole portion is provided in the wrapping portion of the main body, and the first belt-shaped member and the second belt-shaped member are passed through the through-hole portion in a state in which they cross each other, and the tip ends of the first belt-shaped member and the second belt-shaped member are tied together on the back side of the main body, thereby maintaining the spine of the baby whose buttocks are accommodated in the wrapping portion in a C-curve state;

[0009] The base ends of the first and second belt-shaped members are formed wide so that they can press both arms of the infant inward when the tip ends are tied together. It is characterized by the following.

[0010] The main body may be provided with a back support portion that comes into contact with the back of the baby. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, the base ends of the first and second belt-shaped members are formed wide so that they can press the infant's arms inward, thereby reliably maintaining the infant's spine in a C-curve position. Furthermore, since the baby's hands can be kept positioned inside, it can be used to create a body map that makes the baby aware of the presence of the hands, and it also makes it easier for the baby to lick his or her fingers. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0012] The following describes a swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a front view of the swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a back view of the swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a plan view of the swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a bottom view of the swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is a side view of the swaddling cloth according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the through-hole portion in detail, and Figure 7 is an explanatory view showing the state in which the first belt-shaped member has been passed through the through-hole portion.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the swaddling cloth A in an embodiment of the present invention has a main body 1 with a wrapping portion 1a on its surface that encases the buttocks of the infant N, and a first belt-shaped member 2 and a second belt-shaped member 3 respectively attached to both sides of the main body 1.

[0014] The main body 1 is made entirely of a mesh material with good breathability, such as double Russell mesh, and a back support portion 1b that comes into contact with the back of the infant N may be provided inside the main body 1. The back support portion 1b is made of a flexible material, such as cotton.

[0015] The first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 are entirely made of a mesh material with good breathability, such as double Russell mesh.

[0016] The wrapping portion 1a of the main body 1 is provided with through-hole portions 1c (two in the drawing) for passing the first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 through in a mutually intersecting state (see FIG. 6).

[0017] The base ends of the first and second belt-shaped members 2, 3 are formed with wide portions 2a, 3a, respectively, so that the arms of the baby N can be pressed inward.

[0018] Next, the state of use of the swaddling cloth A according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figures 8 to 16 are explanatory diagrams showing the state of use of the swaddling cloth according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] First, the tip of the first belt-shaped member 2 is passed through the through-hole 1c provided in the main body 1 (see FIG. 8). Next, the tip of the second belt-shaped member 3 is passed through the through-hole 1c provided in the main body 1, and the first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 are made to cross each other (see FIG. 9).

[0020] Next, the through-hole portion 1c is pulled forward to create a gap between the wrapping portion 1a and the back support portion 1b of the main body 1, thereby ensuring a space K (see FIG. 10). Next, the buttocks of the baby N are placed in the secured space K (see FIG. 11).

[0021] Next, the buttocks of the baby N are placed inside the wrapping portion 1a of the main body 1 (see FIGS. 12 and 13). Next, the tip ends of the first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 are tied together on the back side of the main body 1 (see FIG. 14). This keeps the spine of the baby N in a C-curve state.

[0022] Thereafter, since the wide portions 2a, 3a at the base ends of the first and second belt-shaped members 2, 3 are formed wide, both arms of the infant N can be pressed inward (see Figures 15 and 16). This makes it possible to reliably hold the spine of the infant N in a C-curve state.

[0023] In addition, since the baby N's hands can be kept positioned inside, it can be used to create a body map that makes the baby N aware of the presence of his or her hands, and it also makes it easier for the baby N to lick his or her fingers.

[0024] According to the swaddling cloth A in the embodiment of the present invention, the base ends of the first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 are formed wide so that they can press the arms of the infant N inward, thereby reliably maintaining the infant N's spine in a C-curve position.

[0025] In addition, since the baby N's hands can be kept positioned inside, it can be used to create a body map that makes the baby N aware of the presence of his or her hands, and it also makes it easier for the baby N to lick his or her fingers.

[0026] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical matters described in the claims of the utility model registration. For example, the shapes and materials of the main body 1, the first belt-shaped member 2 and the second belt-shaped member 3 are not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and for example, a material with good breathability other than a mesh material may be used. [Industrial Applicability]
