Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a piggyback helmet that can easily assist piggyback riding. [Background technology]

[0002] Small children love to ride on their father's shoulders. When riding on the father's shoulders, the child holds onto the father's head and the father holds onto the child's hands and feet to maintain stability, but it is difficult to maintain sufficient stability. In order to improve the stability of shoulder rides, a baby carrier disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 has been known. This baby carrier is used by the father who rides on his shoulders, and is composed of a chair-shaped frame, a seat that is attached to the frame, belts, straps, etc. By attaching the belts and straps to the child being carried on the father's shoulders, the child can be held firmly on the father's shoulders.

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Internet URL<https: / / item.rakuten.co.jp / auc-babyjacksons / minimeis01 / > Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, conventional baby carriers such as that shown in Non-Patent Document 1 have problems such as being bulky, heavy, and placing a heavy burden on the person carrying the baby on their shoulders, as well as the hassle of fastening the belts and straps to the child.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and its object is to provide a new and improved piggyback support helmet that allows for easy piggyback support. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a shoulder-carrying auxiliary helmet worn by a person carrying a shoulder strap, characterized in that it comprises a helmet portion having a hat body portion that covers and protects the head, and a chin strap that secures the hat body portion to the entire head and prevents it from falling off, and a grip portion that is attached to the hat body portion so that it can protrude from the hat body portion, and that is held by the person being carried on shoulders with one or both hands above the head of the person being carried on shoulders.

[0007] This configuration makes it easy to assist piggybacking. The person piggybacking (e.g., father) can easily wear it. The person piggybacking (e.g., child) does not feel any pressure because they are not fixed with straps. In addition, the manufacturing cost is low because it can be manufactured simply by attaching a grip to the surface of a normal helmet.

[0008] Various applications of the present invention are possible. The following application examples can be implemented in appropriate combination. For example, the gripping portion may be provided with a left-hand gripping portion and a right-hand gripping portion so that the person being piggybacked can grip the gripping portion with each hand. With this configuration, the person being piggybacked can grip the gripping portion with the left and right hands, respectively, which increases safety.

[0009] The gripping portion may be folded toward the surface of the cap body. With this configuration, the cap can be folded and stored when not in use, making it compact to carry and allowing it to be used like a normal helmet when not being carried on shoulders.

[0010] In addition, a through-hole through which a finger can be inserted may be formed on the gripping portion or between the gripping portion and the helmet body. With this configuration, the person being piggybacked can insert their finger into the through-hole, making it easier to grip and safer. In addition, it is convenient to be able to insert a finger into the through-hole when carrying the piggyback helmet.

[0011] The grip portion may be movable in a protruding position. For example, the grip portion may be movable in at least one of the front-rear direction and the left-right direction of the cap body. With this configuration, the position of the grip portion can be changed to suit the physique of the person being piggybacked. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shoulder strap-assisted helmet that can easily assist shoulder strapping. Other effects of the present invention will be described in the detailed description of the invention below. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configurations are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

[0015] (First embodiment) A shoulder strap assistance helmet 100 according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. First, the configuration of the shoulder strap assistance helmet 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the shoulder strap assistance helmet 100 of this embodiment.

[0016] 1, the shoulder strap assist helmet 100 is configured with a helmet part 110 that is worn on the head of the person carrying the shoulder strap (a father as an example), and a grip part 120 that is fixed to the helmet part 110 and is to be held by the person carrying the shoulder strap (a child as an example). Each component will be described in detail below.

[0017] (Helmet section 110) As shown in Fig. 1, the helmet part 110 has the same structure as a general helmet, and includes a cap body part 112 which is a shell part that covers and protects the head, and a chin strap 114 which fixes the cap body part 112 to the entire head and prevents it from falling off. The helmet part 110 may be the same as a general helmet. However, it does not necessarily have to have the same strength as a general helmet.

[0018] (Gripping part 120) The grip part 120, which is characteristic of this embodiment, will now be described. As shown in Fig. 1, the grip part 120 is provided in a generally cylindrical shape that protrudes from the surface of the cap body part 112 of the helmet part 110. The grip part 120 is made up of a left hand grip part 120a that is to be held with the left hand of a child being carried on shoulders, and a right hand grip part 120b that is to be held with the right hand. The child being carried on shoulders can maintain safety by gripping the grip part 120.

[0019] The shape of the grip portion 120 may be arbitrary, and may be, for example, a shape that is easy to grasp with the fingers, such as a hand grip.

[0020] The material of the grip part 120 can be any material taking into consideration durability, weight, etc. Also, in consideration of the convenience of children when gripping the grip part 120, the grip part 120 can be provided with a non-slip surface or configured to protect against cold or heat (by covering it with something, electrically heating or cooling it, etc.).

[0021] Above, we have explained the configuration of the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 100. Hereinafter, we will explain the operation of a father carrying a child on his shoulders using the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 100 with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which a father is carrying a child on his shoulders using the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 100.

[0022] First, the father puts on the shoulder-carrying auxiliary helmet 100. The head is covered with the cap body 112 of the helmet part 110, and is firmly fixed with the chin strap 114. The father can easily put on the shoulder-carrying auxiliary helmet 100 by simply performing the same movements as when putting on a helmet.

[0023] Then, the child gets on the father's shoulders. The father puts his head between the child's legs and carries the child, or the father squats down and the child straddles and gets on the father's shoulders. By having the grip part 120 on the shoulder carrying assistance helmet 100 worn by the father, the child can grasp the grip part 120 and assist when the child gets on the father's shoulders, which increases safety. In this way, the father is carrying the child on his shoulders, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0024] The father can walk with the child on his shoulders (Fig. 2). At this time, the child can hold onto the gripping part 120, ensuring high safety. The shoulder-supported helmet 100 will not come off the father's head as it is firmly fixed with the chin strap 114. The child can hold onto the gripping part 120 with only one hand, leaving the other hand free to raise it or hold something.

[0025] (Effects of the First Embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to easily assist a shoulder strap. The person carrying the shoulder strap (e.g., a father) can easily wear it. The person being carried on the shoulders (e.g., a child) does not feel any pressure because they are not fixed with straps or the like. In addition, the manufacturing cost is low because it can be manufactured simply by attaching a grip to the surface of a normal helmet.

[0026] In addition, the person being piggybacked can hold the gripping parts 120 with both their left and right hands, ensuring high safety.

[0027] In the following embodiment, an application example of the first embodiment will be described. In the following embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and components having substantially the same functional configurations will be denoted by the same reference numerals to avoid redundant description.

[0028] Second Embodiment The configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 200 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 200 of this embodiment. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the grip part 220.

[0029] 3, the piggyback assist helmet 200 is configured with a helmet part 210 that is worn on the head of the person piggybacking (a father as an example) and a grip part 220 that is held by the person being piggybacked (a child as an example). The helmet part 210 (cap body part 212 and chin strap 214) can be the same as the helmet part 110 (cap body part 112 and chin strap 114) of the first embodiment.

[0030] (Gripping part 220) The grip part 220 of this embodiment is characterized in that it can be folded toward the surface of the helmet part 210 as shown in Fig. 3. When in use, the grip part 220 is in a state of protruding from the helmet part 210 as in the first embodiment (see Fig. 1). When the grip part 220 is not in use, it can be folded so as to fit along the outer periphery of the helmet part 210 as shown in Fig. 3. This can also be said as folding down the standing grip part 220. When the father removes the shoulder strap assist helmet 200 and is not carrying the child on his shoulders, it has the effect of being usable like a normal helmet and being compact to carry.

[0031] The grip portion 220 may be configured to be foldable by attaching the grip portion 220 to the cap body portion 212 via a hinge.

[0032] Also, the grip part 220 may be configured to stand up so that the child can hold it only when the father wears the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200. When the father wears the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200, the grip part 220 does not fold up, so safety is high. Also, when the father removes the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200, the grip part 220 does not stand up, so it is safe to carry. Note that the configuration in which the grip part 220 stands up only when the father wears the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200 may be any configuration. For example, the grip part 220 may be configured so that a part of the grip part 220 protrudes toward the inside of the helmet part 210 only when the grip part 220 is folded toward the surface of the helmet part 210.

[0033] The above describes the configuration of the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200. The operation of a father shoulder-carrying a child using the shoulder-carrying assistance helmet 200 is almost the same as that of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the father may raise the gripping part 220 before shoulder-carrying the child, or the child may raise the gripping part 220 after the child gets on the father's shoulder.

[0034] (Effects of the second embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the handle portion 220 can be folded and stored when not in use, which has the advantage that it can be carried compactly and can be used like a normal helmet even when not being carried on shoulders.

[0035] (Third embodiment) The configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 300 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 300 of this embodiment. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the grip part 320.

[0036] 4, the piggyback assist helmet 300 is configured with a helmet part 310 that is worn on the head of the person piggybacking (a father as an example) and a grip part 320 that is held by the person being piggybacked (a child as an example). The helmet part 310 (cap body part 312 and chin strap 314) can be the same as the helmet part 110 (cap body part 112 and chin strap 114) of the first embodiment.

[0037] (Gripping part 320) 4, the gripping part 320 of this embodiment is formed with an insertion part 320a through which a finger can be inserted. By inserting a finger into the insertion part 320a, a child being piggybacked can easily grip the product and it is very safe.

[0038] The shape of the insertion part 320a may be any shape, such as a donut shape, a bridge shape, a ring shape, etc. The size may be, for example, a hole of about 15 cm so that it can be held with four fingers other than the thumb. The inside of the hole may also be formed with fingers like a hand grip. It may be designed so that a child riding on shoulders can hold it from above or from the side.

[0039] The above describes the configuration of the piggyback assist helmet 300. The operation of the piggyback assist helmet 300 is substantially the same as in the above embodiment, so a duplicated description will be omitted.

[0040] (Effects of the third embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the person being piggybacked can insert his / her fingers into the insertion portion 320a, making it easy to hold and safe. In addition, it is convenient to be able to insert one's fingers into the insertion portion 320a when carrying the piggyback-assisted helmet 300.

[0041] In this embodiment, a configuration in which the insertion portion 320a is formed in the grip portion 320 has been described, but a insertion portion may be formed between the grip portion and the cap body portion 312 of the helmet portion 310.

[0042] (Fourth embodiment) The configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 400 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a plan view showing the overall configuration of the piggyback assistance helmet 400 of this embodiment. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the grip part 420.

[0043] 5, the piggyback assist helmet 400 is configured with a helmet part 410 that is worn on the head of the person piggybacking (a father as an example) and a grip part 420 that is held by the person being piggybacked (a child as an example). The helmet part 410 (cap body part 412 and chin strap (not shown)) can be similar to the helmet part 110 (cap body part 112 and chin strap 114) of the first embodiment.

[0044] (Gripping part 420) The grip part 420 of this embodiment is characterized in that the position where it protrudes from the helmet part 410 can be changed. In the example shown in Fig. 5, a cross-shaped guide groove 412a that guides the movement of the grip part 420 is formed in the cap body part 412, and the grip part 420 can move in at least one of the forward / backward direction and the left / right direction of the cap body part 412 along the guide groove 412a. In this way, the position of the grip part 420 can be changed to suit the physique of the person being piggybacked.

[0045] The grip part 420 may be movable in at least one of the front-rear and left-right directions of the cap body part 412. The grip part 420 may be movable in a direction other than the front-rear and left-right directions, or may be attached at an arbitrary position as a detachable structure. In this way, the structure that changes the protruding position of the grip part 420 can be designed arbitrarily.

[0046] (Effects of the fourth embodiment) As described above, according to this embodiment, the position of the grip portion 420 can be changed to suit the physique of the person being piggybacked.

[0047] The configuration for varying the protruding position of the grip portion 420 is not limited to the example of this embodiment, and any configuration may be used.

[0048] Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an example. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can think of various modified or altered examples within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that such examples also naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0049] For example, in the above first embodiment, the gripping portion 120 is described as having a left-hand gripping portion 120a and a right-hand gripping portion 120b so that the person being piggybacked can grip it with each hand, but the present invention is not limited to this. There may be one gripping portion, or three or more gripping portions. The same applies to the other embodiments.

[0050] In the second embodiment, the grip part 220 is stored by folding it toward the surface of the cap body 212, but the present invention is not limited to this example. The grip part may be made to appear and disappear from the cap body, drawn out, laid down, or the grip part itself may be made to expand and contract.

[0051] The above-described embodiments, applications, modifications, and the like can be implemented in appropriate combinations. [Explanation of symbols]
