Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a piggybacking device used, for example, when carrying a person requiring care or a patient.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for example, a piggybacking device for carrying a patient or the like has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The piggybacking device described in Patent Document 1 includes a sheet-shaped piggybacking strap body (2) and a plurality of strings extending from both left and right ends of the piggybacking strap body. When using the piggybacking device, the piggybacking strap body is folded back to cover the back, waist, buttocks, and abdomen of the person to be carried (the carried person), and a plurality of strings extending from the left and right of the piggybacking strap body are hung on the shoulders and waist of the person carrying (the carrier) to carry the carried person on the back. In the above conventional piggybacking device, most of the weight of the carried person is received around the buttocks. Therefore, the burden on the carried person may increase. In addition, the width from the part covering the buttocks to the part covering the thighs is relatively narrow on the left and right, and lateral sway is likely to occur. As a result, the safety of the carried person cannot be ensured, and the burden on the carrier is also increased by the above lateral sway. Further, regarding the plurality of strings extending from the left and right, they are configured to be connected on the front side of the carrier's body via a buckle or the like, but it is difficult to know which string to connect, and the string connection work has been complicated.

The baby carrier A1 is used, for example, when carrying a person requiring care or a patient on the back.

[0017] In the description of the baby carrier A1, the vertical direction in the drawing in FIG. 1 is referred to as the "first direction y". The horizontal direction in the drawing orthogonal to the first direction y in FIG. 1 is referred to as the "second direction x". Also, in the description of the baby carrier A1, for convenience, the lower side in the drawing in FIG. 1 is referred to as the "one side of the first direction y1", and the upper side in the drawing is referred to as the "other side of the first direction y2". The left side in the drawing in FIG. 1 is referred to as the "one side of the second direction x1", and the right side in the drawing is referred to as the "other side of the second direction x2".

[0018] The first sheet body 1 includes a first region 11, a second region 12, and a third region 13. The first region 11 is substantially rectangular along the first direction y and the second direction x, and is a portion that covers the back, waist, and buttocks of the person being carried (the carried person). The second region 12 and the third region 13 are connected to the first region 11 on the one side of the first direction y1. The second region 12 and the third region 13 each extend on the one side of the first direction y1. Also, the second region 12 and the third region 13 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction x. The second region 12 is located on the one side of the second direction x1, and the third region 13 is located on the other side of the second direction x2. The second region 12 and the third region 13 are portions that respectively cover the thighs of both legs of the carried person.

[0019] There is no distinct boundary between the first region 11 and the second region 12, and between the first region 11 and the third region 13. However, in FIGS. 1 to 3, the approximate boundary positions between the first region 11 and the second region 12, and between the first region 11 and the third region 13 are respectively represented by virtual lines. As shown in FIG. 3, a reflective sheet 14 is attached at an appropriate position in the first region 11. The first sheet body 1 (the first region 11, the second region 12, and the third region 13) having the above configuration is made of a flexible material having a predetermined strength, and is made of, for example, a fabric of a polyester fiber material.

[0020] The second sheet body 2 is fixed to the first region 11 and is in a strip shape extending in the first direction y. In the present embodiment, the end portion on the other side y2 in the first direction of the second sheet body 2 is sewn at a position closer to the other side y2 in the first direction of the first region 11 and substantially at the center in the second direction x. Thereby, the end portion of the second sheet body 2 is firmly fixed to the first region 11. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the second sheet body 2 has a constant width in the second direction x and extends in a long shape in the first direction y. The second sheet body 2 extends beyond the first region 11 on one side y1 in the first direction, and the end portion on one side x1 in the second direction of the second sheet body 2 reaches the vicinity of the end portion on one side y1 in the first direction of the second region 12 and the third region 13. The second sheet body 2 is a portion that covers the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen of the person being carried. The second sheet body 2 having the above configuration is made of a flexible material having a predetermined strength, and is constituted by, for example, a fabric of a polyester fiber material.

[0021] The first belt 31 and the second belt 32 are used to be hung on both shoulders when a person carrying (the carrier) carries the person being carried using the baby carrier A1. The first belt 31 detachably connects the first region 11 and the third region 13. The first belt 31 connects a portion on one side x1 in the second direction at the other side y2 in the first direction in the first region 11 and a portion on the other side x2 in the second direction in the third region 13.

[0043] Next, a method of using the baby carrier A1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10.

[0044] When using the baby carrier A1 of the present embodiment, first, the baby carrier A1 is spread out on a chair or a bed as shown in FIG. 4, and the person P1 to be carried is seated on the baby carrier A1. Here, the first belt 31, the second belt 32, the third belt 33, the fourth belt 34, and the fifth belt 35 are each kept in a state where their connecting portions are separated. The person P1 to be carried sits on the second sheet body 2. The thighs of both legs of the person P1 to be carried are placed on the second region 12 and the third region 13 of the first sheet body 1.

[0045] Next, as can be understood from FIGS. 5, 6, etc., the carrier P2 etc. lift the second sheet body 2 so as to cover the thighs and abdomen of the person being carried P1, and connect the seventh connecting portion 342 and the eighth connecting portion 344 of the fourth belt 34, and the ninth connecting portion 352 and the tenth connecting portion 354 of the fifth belt 35 respectively. At this time, the lengths of the fourth belt 34 and the fifth belt 35 are appropriately adjusted so that the person being carried P1 does not feel uncomfortable.

[0046] Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the carrier P2 moves between the legs of the person being carried P1, hangs the first belt 31 (the first belt piece 311) over the right shoulder of the carrier P2 through the right side of the person being carried P1, and hangs the second belt 32 (the third belt piece 321) over the left shoulder of the carrier P2 through the left side of the person being carried P1. Then, the first belt 31 (the first belt piece 311 and the second belt piece 313) and the second belt 32 (the third belt piece 321 and the fourth belt piece 323) are respectively crossed in front of the body of the carrier P2, and the first connecting portion 312 and the second connecting portion 314 of the second sheet body 2, and the third connecting portion 322 and the fourth connecting portion 324 of the second belt 32 are respectively connected.

[0047] Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the third belt 33 (the fifth belt piece 331 and the sixth belt piece 333) is brought from both sides of the waist of the carrier P2 to the front of the body, and the fifth connecting portion 332 and the sixth connecting portion 334 are connected. Then, the lengths of the first belt 31, the second belt 32, and the third belt 33 are appropriately adjusted so that the person being carried P1 and the carrier P2 are in close contact.

[0048] Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the carrier P2 slowly stands up while confirming that each of the belts 31 to 33 is tightened. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the carried person P1 is carried on the back of the carrier P2 while wearing the baby carrier A1. The baby carrier A1 of the present embodiment is used, for example, to carry a person requiring care or a patient. However, the target of the carried person P1 carried using the baby carrier A1 is not particularly limited. Also, there are various situations in which the baby carrier A1 is used. The baby carrier A1 is used, for example, when it is necessary to evacuate during a disaster, etc., to carry a person who has difficulty evacuating by themselves.

[0049] Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

[0050] The baby carrier A1 of the present embodiment includes a first sheet body 1 and a second sheet body 2. The first sheet body 1 includes a first region 11, a second region 12, and a third region 13. The first region 11 covers the back, waist, and buttocks of the carried person P1, and the second region 12 and the third region 13 cover the thighs of both legs of the carried person P1 from below. The second sheet body 2 is fixed to the first region 11 and covers the buttocks, crotch, and abdomen of the carried person P1. According to such a configuration, in the carried person P1, the weight of the carried person P1 is mainly received around the buttocks by the first region 11, around the thighs by the second region 12 and the third region 13, and around the buttocks by the second sheet body 2, respectively, and is dispersed and received. Therefore, the burden on the body when the carried person P1 is carried can be reduced.

[0051] Also, when the baby carrier A1 is worn, the periphery of the buttocks of the carried person P1 is supported by the second sheet body 2, and the periphery of the buttocks of the carried person P1 is also supported by the first region 11 (the first sheet body 1) arranged so as to cover the second sheet body 2. According to such a configuration, the position of the buttocks of the carried person P1 is stabilized, and the lateral sway of the carried person P1 during transportation can be suppressed. As a result, the safety of the carried person P1 can be ensured, and the burden on the carrier P2 can also be reduced.

[0052] The first belt 31 connects a part on the x1 side in the first direction on the other side y2 in the first region 11 and a part on the x2 side in the second direction in the third region 13, and has a detachable first connecting portion 312 and a second connecting portion 314. The second belt 32 connects a part on the x2 side in the first direction on the other side y2 in the first region 11 and a part on the x1 side in the second direction in the second region 12, and has a detachable third connecting portion 322 and a fourth connecting portion 324. According to such a configuration, the two first belts 31 and second belts 32 that the carrier P2 hangs on both the left and right shoulders can be crossed in front of the body of the carrier P2. As a result, the bodies of the carried person P1 and the carrier P2 are likely to be in close contact, and the sense of stability during transportation is increased.

[0053] The first belt piece 311 and the second belt piece 313 of the first belt 31 are provided with the same color or pattern.
