Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Cushion for the child to rest on during bike rides

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is a cushion for children to rest on during bicycle rides. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current technologies.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of diverse industrial techniques and transport, especially in accessories for land vehicles that travel on dirt or asphalt roads, saddles or seats for cycles, auxiliary devices or accessories specially adapted to cycles not provided for elsewhere.

[0007] It also falls within the sector of current needs of life and furnishings, especially in articles or appliances for domestic use, in the classification of accessories for land vehicles.

[0008] STATE OF THE ART

[0009] The present invention arises from the discomfort experienced by users when taking infants for a bike ride and they fall asleep in their seat during the journey, causing discomfort, imbalance and even danger.

[0010] This is because many infants, when falling asleep, do not have the necessary stability or support, resulting in uncomfortable head bobbing and, in some cases, premature awakening, which can cause feelings of tiredness, drowsiness, and irritability for the rest of the day.

[0011] Accordingly, this invention presents a cushion for children to rest during bicycle rides, designed to provide adequate support and stability to infants when they fall asleep while riding on their bicycle seat. Currently, no other cushion for children to rest during bicycle rides is known to exist that has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The object of the present invention is the creation of a cushion for the child's rest during bicycle rides, which provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

[0014] The present invention relates to a cushion for the rest of the child during bicycle rides, which comprises a reliable cushion body that has means of fixing to a child's bicycle saddle and means of fastening for comfortable support and greater comfort to the child's head when he / she falls asleep lying on the back of the cyclist during a bicycle ride.

[0015] This innovation addresses the lack of support for infants who fall asleep in their car seats and lean back on their parents during bike rides, preventing head bobbing and improving the safety and comfort of bicycle transport for the little ones.

[0016] This innovative cushion is widely useful, as it prevents uncomfortable nodding and premature awakenings that often occur when children fall asleep during bike rides, thus allowing secure support for a more comfortable and enjoyable journey for both the little ones and the cyclists.

[0017] This cushion is inflated thanks to an inflation valve, which gives it the ability to be folded and unfolded, providing flexibility in its use and storage to suit the user's needs.

[0018] Conveniently, it offers an ergonomic design that fills the space between the child's chest and the cyclist's back, with support points and dynamic arm support for the child, providing comfort and safety during the ride. Additionally, fastening straps secure the cushion to the saddle back, while elastic straps allow for the attachment of an extra support, such as a small pillow, for the child to rest their head.

[0019] This cushion is made with flexible, soft-to-the-touch and durable textile materials, such as cotton, polyester or polyurethane, providing durability and comfort with every use.

[0020] To use this invention, the adult only needs to attach the cushion to the pre-inflated saddle, using and adjusting the fastening means.

[0021] Then, you can gently lay the child down on the cushion and use the fastening means to attach a small pillow so that the child can comfortably rest their head.

[0022] This provides a comfortable and safe environment for the little one to enjoy an uninterrupted bike ride when he falls asleep behind his parents.

[0023] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0024] To complete the description being made and in order to help in the better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by a figure in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.

[0025] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the cushion for the child's rest during bicycle rides.

[0026] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0027] The present invention describes a cushion for the child's rest during bicycle rides, which is characterized by including a reliable cushion body (1) that integrates fixing means (2) to the child's bicycle saddle and fastening means (3) designed to hold a comfortable support and increase comfort to the child's head when he falls asleep lying on the back of the cyclist.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the cushion body (1) is inflatable via an inflation valve (4), which allows it to be folded and unfolded. This feature provides flexibility in use and ease of storage, enabling efficient adaptation to the user's needs.

[0029] In another preferred embodiment, the cushion body (1) has an ergonomic structure extending from the child's chest to the cyclist's back, including support points (5) and dynamic support for the child's arms.

[0030] Generally, the dimensions of the cushion body (1) are carefully designed to fit the heights of children and the distances between the child and the cyclist in use.

[0031] Preferably, the fastening means (2) are tapes with fastening portions at the ends, for example hook and loop, located on the outer sides of the cushion body (1), thus facilitating its attachment to the backrest of the saddle.

[0032] Generally, the fastening means (3) consist of elastic bands located on the upper edge of the cushion body (1), allowing a more comfortable support such as a small pillow or additional cushion to be attached, providing a comfortable place where the child can rest their head.

[0033] Preferably, the cushion body (1) is made of a flexible, soft-to-the-touch and durable textile material, such as cotton, polyester or polyurethane, selected to offer durability and comfort in prolonged use under various weather and usage conditions.

[0034] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
