Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a side hip seat holding strap, and more specifically, to a side hip seat holding strap that can freely change the usage positions of the buttocks support and the back support.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, infants begin to walk independently between 9 and 15 months after birth. Infants who cannot yet walk will be carried by their caregivers, but in Asian cultures, a band-type baby carrier, that is, a holding strap, is used as an auxiliary tool for long-distance movement.

[0003] Such a holding strap should be designed considering convenience while prioritizing safety. Generally, the holding strap has a structure in which connecting straps attached to the caregiver's shoulders and waist support the back and buttocks, allowing the caregiver to hold the baby in front.

[0004] When using such a holding strap, there is an advantage that the weight of the baby is distributed to the user's shoulders, waist, pelvis, etc., and the user can use both arms relatively freely. However, in the case of existing holding straps that can hold the baby in front, although there is an advantage of stably supporting the baby's back, there are problems such as the front view being obstructed and the movement of the caregiver's front part being restricted. And in the case of existing side holding straps that can hold the baby on the side of the user, since it is composed only of a hip seat that supports only the baby's buttocks, it cannot sufficiently support the baby's back, resulting in a lack of stability or inconvenience that the caregiver has to constantly support the baby with both hands and thus has no freedom, and since it cannot wrap the shoulders widely, the load is not distributed over a wide area of the shoulders, causing a large burden on the caregiver's shoulders.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0022] Various embodiments and / or aspects are disclosed with reference to the drawings. In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are disclosed to assist in the general understanding of one or more aspects. However, it will also be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art of the present invention that such aspects may be implemented without such specific details. The following description and the accompanying drawings describe in detail specific exemplary aspects of one or more aspects. However, such aspects are exemplary, and some of the various methods based on the principles of the various aspects may be utilized, and the description is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Specifically, as used herein, "embodiment", "example", "aspect", "illustration", etc. should not be construed as meaning that any described aspect or design is better or has advantages over other aspects or designs.

[0023] In the following, regardless of the reference numerals used in the drawings, identical or similar components will be given the same reference numeral, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, if it is determined that a specific description of the relevant prior art in describing the embodiments disclosed herein may obscure the gist of the embodiments disclosed herein, such detailed description will be omitted. In addition, the accompanying drawings are merely for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the embodiments disclosed herein, and the accompanying drawings do not limit the technical ideas disclosed herein.

[0024] Although terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used to describe a variety of elements and components, it goes without saying that these elements and components are not limited by these terms. These terms are simply used to distinguish one element or component from another. Therefore, it goes without saying that the first elements and components mentioned below may also be second elements and components within the technical concept of the present invention.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) should be used in a way that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. Furthermore, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should not be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly defined otherwise.

[0026] Furthermore, the term "or" is intended to mean an implicational "or," not an exclusive "or." That is, it is intended to mean one of the natural implicational substitutions of "X uses A or B" when not otherwise specified or clear from the context. In other words, "X uses A or B" can apply to any of the cases where X uses A; X uses B; or X uses both A and B. Also, the terms "and / or" as used herein should be understood to refer to and include all possible combinations of one or more of the listed related items.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms “including” and / or “including” should be understood to mean that the feature and / or component in question is present, but not to exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, components, and / or groups thereof. Also, where not otherwise specified or clearly indicated in the context, singular should be interpreted in this specification and claims as generally meaning “one or more.”

[0028] When it is mentioned that one component is "linked" or "connected" to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly linked or connected to the other component, but there may also be other components in between. Conversely, when it is mentioned that one component is "directly linked" or "directly connected" to another component, it should be understood that there are no other components in between.

[0029] When elements or layers are referred to as "on" or "above" another element or layer, this includes not only directly above the other element or layer, but also all cases where another layer or other element is interposed in between. Conversely, when elements are referred to as "directly on" or "directly above," it indicates that there is no other element or layer interposed in between.

[0030] Spatially relative terms such as "inner," "outer," "beneath," "below," "lower," "above," and "upper" were likely used here for the sake of providing a simple explanation of the relationship between one element or feature and other elements or features as illustrated in the drawing. Spatially relative terms may be intended to include different orientations of the device during use or operation, in addition to the orientation illustrated in the drawing. For example, if the device is upside down in the drawing, an element described as "below" or "beneath" of another element or feature may be oriented "above" of the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be oriented differently (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatially relative descriptions used here may be interpreted accordingly.

[0031] When an element or layer is referred to as existing "on" another element or layer, "engaged to," "connected to," or "coupled to," that element or layer may directly exist on, engage with, engage with, or couple to the other element or layer, and there may be an intervening element or layer. In contrast, when an element is referred to as existing "directly on" another element or layer, or as "directly engaged to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there will be no intervening element or layer. Other words used to describe the relationships between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner (e.g., "between" vs. "directly between," "adjacent" vs. "directly adjacent," etc.). As used here, the term "and / or" includes one or more of the related items, or all of them.

[0032] The objectives and effects of the present invention, and the technical configurations for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the examples described below in detail, along with the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, detailed explanations of known functions or configurations will be omitted if it is deemed that such explanations may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the invention. Furthermore, the terms used below are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention and may change depending on the intent or conventions of the user or operator.

[0033] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and can be embodied in a variety of different forms. These embodiments are provided to complete the invention and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the invention of the scope of disclosure, and the invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Therefore, the definition should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0034] Figure 1 shows the front view of the sling-type baby carrier 1 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 shows the back view of the sling-type baby carrier 1 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 shows the sling-type baby carrier 1 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure in an unfolded state. Figure 4 shows the sling-type baby carrier 1 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure being worn by a wearer. Figure 5 shows various examples of using the hip support 11 and back support 12 of the support part 10 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the sling-type baby carrier 1 can include a support section 10, a shoulder section 20, and a connecting section 30.

[0036] The support section 10 may include a buttock support 11 that can support the baby's buttocks and a back support 12 that can support the baby's back. The buttock support 11 can provide a surface on which the baby's buttocks rest. The back support 12 can support the baby's back and provide further stable support to the baby placed on the buttock support 11.

[0037] The hip support 11 and back support 12 can have a shape that defines a relatively wide, recessed space on which a baby can be placed. For example, the hip support 11 and back support 12 can have a relatively wide width in the central part and become narrower towards both ends.

[0038] The shoulder portion 20 may be a component worn on one shoulder of the wearer. The shoulder portion 20 may take the form of a relatively wide piece of fabric or a strap. For example, the shoulder portion 20 may be made of knitted fabric (or a round loom). The shoulder portion 20 may be made of a stretchable fabric that can stretch in both directions. Stretchable fabrics are usually made with synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, spandex, or Lycra, and can have high elasticity and resilience. The shoulder portion 20 may have a relatively wide width in the central part and a shape that narrows towards both ends. Since the shoulder portion 20 may be used to cover one shoulder of the wearer overall, it can function to reduce the pressure that the shoulder portion 20 places on the wearer's shoulder.

[0039] In other words, the shoulder portion 20 in the various embodiments of this disclosure uses a material that broadly and evenly wraps around the shoulder, distributing the baby's weight over a wide area and reducing fatigue on the wearer's shoulder. Furthermore, because it can be folded more compactly than a typical strap (or cord), the portability of the sling-type baby carrier 1 itself can also be improved.

[0040] For example, when the central part of the shoulder portion 20 is fully extended, its width can be approximately 27 cm. The ends can be approximately 5 cm in length.

[0041] The connecting portion 30 can connect the support portion 10 and the shoulder portion 20. The connecting portion 30 may include a front connecting member 31 that connects one end of the support portion 10 and the shoulder portion 20 to each other and is adjustable in length, and a rear connecting member 32 that connects the other ends of the support portion 10 and the shoulder portion 20 to each other and is adjustable in length.

[0042] The front connecting member 31 may include a buckle 311 connected to one end of the shoulder portion 20, and a front strap 312 connected between the buckle 311 and one end of the support portion 10.

[0043] The rear connecting member 32 may include an adjuster 321 connected to the other end of the shoulder portion 20, and a rear strap 322 connected between the adjuster 321 and the other end of the support portion 10.

[0044] The buckle 311 may include, for example, a one-touch detachable buckle structure. The buckle 311 may include a female part and a male part. The female part may be connected to the shoulder part 20 and the male part may be connected to the front strap 312. In some embodiments, the female part may be connected to the front strap 312 and the male part may be connected to the shoulder part 20. The female and male parts of the buckle 311 may have a locking mechanism, such as a snap button, into which the male part can be inserted and secured in the female part. However, the specific configuration of the buckle 311 is not limited to those described above and can be diverse.

[0045] For example, in one embodiment, an Ella string 314 may be provided on the female or male part of the buckle 311. The Ella string 314 is fixed to the female or male part, but can be used to engage with other female or male parts. For example, the Ella string 314 may be fixed to the female part of the buckle 311 connected to the front part of the shoulder part 20. Such an Ella string 314 may be configured to engage with the male part of the buckle 311 connected to the front strap 312. The Ella string 314 can function so that even if the buckle 311 is detached, the buckle 311 is not completely detached but remains connected by the Ella string 314. That is, even if the wearer detaches the buckle 311, the support part 10 of the sling-type baby carrier 1 will not fall completely down but will be supported by the Ella string 314. In other words, the elastic string 314 can temporarily support the support part 10 and enhance safety even if the support part 10 falls completely to the bottom, or if the buckle 311 separates while the baby is placed on the support part 10.

[0046] The front strap 312 may be configured so that the length between the support portion 10 and the buckle 311 can be adjusted. The wearer can adjust the length between the front strap 312 and the buckle 311 by pulling the front strap 312 or releasing it in the opposite direction.

[0047] Similarly, the back strap 322 may be configured to use an adjuster 321 to adjust its length between the support 10 and the adjuster 321. The wearer can adjust the length of the front strap 312 and the back strap 322 to adjust the connecting part 30 to a length that is suitable for the wearer's and the baby's body size and weight.

[0048] In various embodiments, the buckle 311 may be replaced with other components such as Velcro®, a Quick Release Pin, a Toggle Clamp, or a Swivel Hook.

[0049] The front strap 312 and the back strap 322 may include webbing made of nylon. The front strap 312 and the back strap 322 in the embodiment may include webbing made of polyester, cotton, canvas, leather, polypropylene, and Kevlar®.

[0050] In one embodiment, the front strap 312 may further be provided with a strap fixing band 313 at its end. The strap fixing band 313 may have a loop shape. Specifically, the strap fixing band 313 may have the form of an annular band that is attached to the side at the end of the front strap 312. After adjusting the length of the front strap 312, it may have the function of accommodating and organizing the remaining length portion within the tubular band.

[0051] Referring to Figure 3, the buttock support 11 and back support 12 of the support section 10 can have substantially the same form. The buttock support 11 and back support 12 can have the same shape and size and completely overlap.

[0052] The buttock support 11 and the back support 12 can be connected to each other when they are in an overlapping state. The ends of the support portion 10 may refer to the overlapping portions of the buttock support 11 and the back support 12 when they are in an overlapping state.

[0053] As mentioned above, the support portion 10 can be connected at both ends to the front connecting member 31 and the rear connecting member 32 included in the connecting portion 30. In one embodiment, both the buttock support 11 and the back support 12 can be connected at both ends to the front connecting member 31 and the rear connecting member 32. The specific structure in which the buttock support 11 and the back support 12 are connected to the connecting portion 30 will be described later.

[0054] In one embodiment, the hip support 11 and back support 12 may have a central portion 110 with its longest width w1 of approximately 18 cm and both end portions 120 with a width w2 of approximately 5 cm. The connecting portion between the central portion 110 and both end portions 120 may have a width w2 of approximately 6 cm.

[0055] The total length of the hip support 11 and back support 12 can be approximately 59 cm in total length l1, with each end portion 120 having a length l2 of approximately 9.5 cm, and the central portion 110 having a length of approximately 40 cm.

[0056] The central portion 110 of the hip support 11 and back support 12 may have its edges finished. For example, the central portion 110 of the hip support 11 and back support 12 may be hemmed or bound, in which case the edges may have a width w4 of approximately 1.5 cm.

[0057] In one embodiment, the lining of the central portion 110 of the hip support 11 may have an anti-slip pad 111 attached to it. The anti-slip pad 111 can prevent the baby placed on the hip support 11 from slipping and falling when the wearer is wearing the sling-type baby carrier 1. The anti-slip pad 111 may include, for example, one of the following: silicone rubber, rubber, polyurethane, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), and melamine sponge.

[0058] In one embodiment, a mesh pad 112 may be attached to the lining of the central portion 110 of the back support 12. The mesh pad 112 allows for easy drainage of sweat generated on the baby's back when the wearer is wearing the sling-type baby carrier 1. The mesh pad 112 can be made of, for example, one of polyester, nylon, polypropylene, and acrylic.

[0059] Additional components such as the anti-slip pads 111 and mesh pads 112 can provide greater comfort and stability for both the wearer and the baby.

[0060] The support portion 10, shoulder portion 20, and connecting portion 30 can be connected so that the sling-type baby carrier 1 forms a circular band structure, as shown in Figures 1 to 3. Referring to Figure 4, a sling-type baby carrier 1 having such a structure can be used to wrap around the wearer's upper body diagonally. The shoulder portion 20 can be positioned to cover one of the wearer's shoulders, and the support portion 10 can be positioned on the opposite side of the wearer. The front connecting member 31 is located in front of the wearer, and the sling-type baby carrier 1 can be put on or taken off via the buckle 311. The rear connecting member 32 can be located behind (or on the back) of the wearer.

[0061] The support section 10 provides a space for the baby to be held by the wearer. The hip support 11 supports the baby's hips, and the back support 12 supports the baby's back. The back support 12 can support the baby so that it does not slip out of the hip support 11 even if the baby moves or the wearer leans their body.

[0062] The support portion 10 in the various embodiments of this disclosure has a back support 12 in addition to the hip support 11, and can stably support the baby's back and body.

[0063] In various embodiments of this disclosure, the hip support 11 and back support 12 of the support portion 10 have the same shape and are connected only at both ends 120, so that the hip support 11 and back support 12 can be used in various positions relative to each other depending on the changes in the baby's body shape as it grows or the purpose of use.

[0064] For example, referring to Figure 5(a), the buttock support 11 and back support 12 of the support section 10 can be used in a state where they are completely overlapping, and can be used to easily support only the baby's buttocks. Also, as shown in Figures 5(b) and (c), the back support 12 can be used in a raised position relative to the buttock support 11 to stably support the baby. As can be seen in Figures 5(b) and (c), the back support 12 can be used in a variety of positions and postures relative to the buttock support 11, and its position can be changed adaptively according to the size and posture of the baby.

[0065] Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the connecting structures of the buttock support 11 and back support 12 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 6 illustrates the connecting structure between both ends of the buttock support and the strap in order to form the connecting structure of the buttock support and back support according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 illustrates the connecting structure of the buttock support and back support according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures (a) and (b) in Figure 6 and (c) and (d) in Figure 7 sequentially illustrate the process of connecting the buttock support 11 and back support 12.

[0066] First, referring to Figures 6(a) and (b), straps 300 can be connected to the connecting portions 600 at both ends 120 of the hip support 11. For example, strap 300 may be a member for connecting a buckle 311 from the aforementioned front connecting member 31 to the shoulder portion 20, or it may be a front strap 312 connected to the support portion 10. Also, strap 300 may be a member for connecting an adjuster 321 from the back connecting member 32 to the shoulder portion 20, or it may be a back strap 322 connected to the support portion 10. Below, we will describe the structure in which straps are connected to various straps or members that are connected to the hip support 11 and back support 12 of the support portion 10.

[0067] The connecting portion 600 of the buttock support 11 and a part of the strap 300 may overlap. The connecting portion 600 may have the same configuration as both ends 120 of the buttock support 11.

[0068] The portion of the strap 300 that overlaps with the connecting portion 600 can be referred to as the strap connecting portion 310. The connecting portion 600 of the buttock support 11 can be divided into an inner portion 610 and an outer portion 620 at the point where it overlaps with the strap connecting portion 310.

[0069] After the connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11 and the connecting portion 310 of the strap 300 overlap, the connecting portion 600 and the strap connecting portion 310 can be fixed in the inner portion 610 by a first backstitch 611.

[0070] Referring to Figure 7(c), the back support 12 may overlap the hip support 11, which is temporarily secured by the strap 300 and the first backstitch 611. The connecting portion 600 of the back support 12 may completely overlap the connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11. The overlapping connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11 and the back support 12 may similarly be divided into an inner portion 610 and an outer portion 620, which are treated with the first backstitch 611.

[0071] The overlapping hip support 11 and back support 12 can be secured by a second backstitch 612 at the outer portion 620 of the connecting portion 600. That is, the second backstitch 612 not only secures the hip support 11 and back support 12, but can also further secure the strap 300.

[0072] In the support section 10 completed through the process described above, the connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11 can be fixed by overlapping the connecting portion 600 of the back support 12 and the strap connecting portion 310 of the strap 300, and as a result the connecting structure of the hip support 11 and the back support 12 is formed and stably maintained.

[0073] In various embodiments of this application, the connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11 and the strap connecting portion 310 of the strap 300 may be secured by a first backstitch 611 in the inner portion 610 near the central portion 110 of the hip support 11. The connecting portion 600 of the hip support 11, the strap connecting portion 310 of the strap 300, and the connecting portion 600 of the back support 12 may be secured by a second backstitch 612 in the outer portion 620 adjacent to the inner portion 610 and near both ends 120.

[0074] Through the aforementioned fixing structure, the hip support 11 and back support 12 are firmly fixed to the strap 300 of the connecting part 30, thereby allowing the hip support 11 and back support 12 to be used in a variety of positions depending on the purpose of use and the baby's posture and body shape.

[0075] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 7(d), the stitches at both ends of the connecting portion 600 with the second backstitch 612 may be further reinforced with a reinforcing backstitch 613 to prevent the second backstitch 612 from unraveling. This is because, when using the sling-type baby carrier 1, the parts that receive the most force trying to separate the connecting portion 600 of the support portion 10 and the strap 300 of the connecting portion 30 are the ends of the second backstitch 612. The reinforcing backstitch 613 may be performed with an overlock backstitch so as to cover the stitches of the second backstitch 612 (or additionally, the first backstitch 611).

[0076] In the illustrated embodiment, the first backstitch 611 and the second backstitch 612 may be a box-X stitch, which is a diagonal X-shaped backstitch in addition to a square backstitch, and in various embodiments, a double stitch, a chain stitch, and rivets or buttons, or adhesive may be further applied or attached as alternatives or additionally. Also, in one embodiment, the connecting portion 600, the connecting strap 900, and the strap connecting portion 310 may be secured by backstitching with additional reinforcing fabric overlapping the overlapping portion.

[0077] Figure 8 illustrates a connecting structure of the buttock support 11 and back support 12 according to an additional embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0078] Referring to Figure 8(a), a connecting strap 900 may be further attached to the buttock support 11 and back support 12 according to one embodiment. The connecting strap 900 can connect the outer surface of the buttock support 11 to the inner surface of the back support 12. Both ends of the connecting strap 900 can be connected to the boundary between the central portion 110a, 110b and the end portions 120a, 120b of the buttock support 11 and back support 12, respectively. As mentioned above, the buttock support 11 and back support 12 can be fixed at both ends 120a, 120b by the second backstitch 612 of the outer portion 620, but the connecting strap 900 can assist in fixing the buttock support 11 and back support 12. For example, the connecting strap 900 may have a length of approximately 4.6 cm and a width of approximately 1.5 cm.

[0079] In one embodiment, the connecting strap 900 may be made from a raw material of a material with high elasticity and resilience, or it may have a material with high elasticity and resilience (e.g., rubber cord) built into it. For example, the connecting strap 900 can be made from spandex, Lycra, or elastane. Even if the hip support 11 and back support 12 are used in a position where they are largely separated from their overlapping state, when not in use, the resilience of the connecting strap 900 can restore the hip support 11 and back support 12 to their completely overlapping state. Accordingly, this provides a convenient experience in organizing the hip support 11 and back support 12, and excellent portability by making storage and transport easy.

[0080] Referring to Figure 8(b), in one embodiment, the back support 12 may further be provided with a label 910 and a label pouch 920. The label pouch 920 may be provided on the inner surface of the mesh pad 112 or the back support 12 and may be secured by the edge 121 of the mesh pad 112. One end of the label 910 may be secured at the boundary between the central portion 110 and both end portions 120 of the back support 12. The label 910 may be configured to be inserted into or removed from the label pouch 920. The label pouch 920 may be provided at a certain distance (e.g., 1 / 2 inch) from the boundary between the central portion 110 and both end portions 120, and the label 910 may be partially exposed at the boundary between the label pouch 920 and both end portions 120. The user can grasp the exposed label 910 and remove or insert the label 910 into the label pouch 920. Label 910 can provide guidelines for the proper management and maintenance of the sling-type baby carrier 1. For example, label 910 may include information on washing, drying, ironing, whether it can be hand-washed, whether it can be dry-cleaned, and how to use the sling-type baby carrier 1 correctly.
