Invention

The conventional child care posture holding pad is integrally detachably provided on a seat such as a crib. Therefore, the pad cannot be properly placed in the seat or offset on the seat, so there is a possibility that the pad cannot be sufficiently maintained in posture.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pad that can effectively exert a posture for a child and a child support structure using the pad.

The present invention is applicable to a seat (3) that covers a seat body with a seat cover (4), and the seat body (9) is imparted with rigidity to impart rigidity to the seat shape, and the chair The sleeve (4) is detachable from the seat body (9), and a pad (5) for supporting the concave-convex shape of the child is attached to the surface of the seat cover, and at least one is included with the seat body and The process of any of the foregoing seat covers is made into a pad-like member (10, 30, 50) of another member, and the pad-like member is inseparably fixed to the seat after its manufacture, whereby The above problems can be solved.

According to the pad of the present invention, since at least one of the pad-like members constituting the pad is fixed to the seat, the pad-like member can be held at the most appropriate position with respect to the seat, and the position of the pad-shaped member is not An offset is created on the seat. Therefore, the child can be supported at the most appropriate position by the pad-shaped member fixed to the seat, and the pad-shaped member can exert the effect of reliably maintaining the posture.

In one form of the pad of the present invention, the pad-like member may not be detachably fixed to the surface of the seat cover. According to the structure in which the pad-like member is fixed to the surface of the seat cover, the pad-like member is exposed on the seat surface, so that the support position of the child can be clearly grasped by the pad-shaped member. Moreover, the fixed position of the cushion-like member on the seat can be changed by replacing the seat cover.

Alternatively, the pad may not be detachably fixed to the surface of the seat body. In this case, the shape of the seat cover is changed in accordance with the cushion-like member fixed to the seat body, so that the surface of the seat appears to support the concave-convex shape of the child. Since the seat cover can be removed while leaving the cushion-like member fixed to the seat body on the seat body, the time for removing the aforementioned cushion-like member from the seat cover can be omitted when the seat cover is cleaned.

In one form of the pad of the present invention, the pad comprises as the pad The hip member pad (50) for supporting the buttocks of the child is also detachably fixed to the seat. Since the position suitable for supporting the child's buttocks is not related to the child's physique and is substantially constant, even if the hip pad is inseparably fixed to the seat, the physical range suitable for the seat is not too narrow. In addition, when the child is sitting on the seat, the position of the child can be determined based on the hip pad. Furthermore, if the seat has a reclining function, when the seat back is straightened, the hip pad fixed to the seat blocks the buttocks of the child, thereby preventing the hip from shifting forward.

In the form of the fixed hip pad, in addition to the aforementioned buttock pad, the head pad (10) and the waist pad for supporting the head and the waist of the child are respectively detachably provided on the seat ( 30). In the period when the child's physique is small, the head pad and the waist pad can be used to support the head and the waist to prevent the lateral tilt of the head or the lateral deviation of the waist, but the neck can be straight or the upper body is stable. After the period, the need for support of the head and waist was relatively reduced compared to the support of the buttocks. The head pad and the waist pad are detachably provided by fixing the buttock pad, and the head pad and the waist pad can be respectively mounted on the hip pad as a reference in a small period of time. The position is to support the head and the waist, and the head pad and the waist pad are removed as the child grows. Only the buttocks pad is used to support the child, so the necessity of supporting the head, the waist and the buttocks can be changed. The type of use of the mat. Thereby, the physical range suitable for the mat can be enlarged.

The child support structure of the present invention comprises a seat (3) covering the seat body (9) with a seat cover (4), and the seat body (9) is given a rigidity to impart a shape to the seat. The seat cover can be loaded and unloaded relative to the seat body, and The surface of the seat cover is provided with a pad (5) for supporting the concave-convex shape of the child, and the pad has a different process from the seat body and the seat cover, and is manufactured as a separate member. a pad-like member (10, 30, 50) that is inseparably fixed to the surface of the seat body, and the seat cover is provided with a hole corresponding to the position of the pad-shaped member fixed to the seat body. This solves the aforementioned problem.

According to the child support structure of the present invention, the cushion-like member fixed to the seat body protrudes through the perforation of the seat cover on the surface side of the seat cover, whereby the seat surface can be imparted to support the concave-convex shape of the child. Since the cushion-like member is fixed to the seat body, the cushion-like member can be held in the most appropriate position with respect to the seat, and the position of the cushion-like member does not shift off the seat. Therefore, the child can be supported at the most appropriate position by the pad-shaped member fixed to the seat, and the pad-shaped member can exert the effect of reliably maintaining the posture. Moreover, since the seat cover can be removed while leaving the cushion-like member fixed to the seat body in the seat body, the time for removing the cushion-like member from the seat cover can be omitted when the seat cover is cleaned. . Further, even if the seat cover includes an inner member such as a mat member, the pad-like member can be directly exposed to the seat surface without affecting the inner member, so that the seat member is not damaged by the spacer member. The advantage of the effect of the posture.

In addition, in the above description, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and the present invention is not limited by the accompanying drawings. In the present invention, the term "child" includes a wide range from the baby's period to the school age period without particular limitation.

As explained above, according to the pad and child support structure of the present invention, at least one of the pad-like members constituting the pad can be fixed to the seat, and thereby the pad-like member can be held in position with respect to the seat, and Since the position of the spacer member is not offset from the seat, the child can be supported at the most appropriate position by the spacer member fixed to the seat, and the pad-shaped member can be used to positively Maintain the effect of posture.

The waist pads 30 are arranged to abut against the waist of the child from both sides to prevent lateral deflection of the child's waist. The outer peripheral shape of the waist pad 30 can be formed into various shapes such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, an oblong shape, a long cylindrical shape, and an oval shape. As the waist pad 30, an elastic material such as cotton, urethane, low-repellency urethane, or gel may be used. Further, the left and right waist pads 30 may be coupled to each other by the same chassis as the chassis 11 of the head pad 10.

The buttock pad 50 has a chassis 51 and a protruding portion 52 that extends in the left-right direction above the chassis 51. The chassis 51 is formed in the same flat shape as the chassis 11 and the chassis 11 and 31 of the waist pad 30. The protruding portion 52 has a hip supporting portion 53 and a pair of knee supporting portions 54 disposed at both end portions of the hip supporting portion 53. Further, the buttock support portion 53 is provided to support the buttocks of the young child, and the knee support portion 54 is provided to support the knees of the young child from the side.

The spacers 10, 30, and 50 having the above structure are not detachably fixed to the surface of the seat cover 4. The fixing method of the spacers 10, 30, 50 can be performed by hot pressing, that is, fixing by a hot melt resin or the like, sewing, adhesion, and various other fixing methods. Therefore, if the pads 10, 30, 50 are fixed to the surface of the seat cover 4, the pads 10, 30, 50 can be held in the most appropriate position relative to the seat cover 4, and the pads 10, 30, 50 The position is also not offset by the seat cover 4, and the pads 10, 30, and 50 can be used to exert a positive and proper holding posture. Furthermore, since the pads 10, 30, 50 are fixed to the seat cover 4 detachably attached to the seat body, the pads 10, 30, 50 are exposed on the surface of the seat 3, and the pads 10 can be utilized. 30, 50 clearly grasp the support position of the child. Moreover, the fixed position of the pads 10, 30, 50 on the seat 3 can also be changed by replacing the seat cover 4. For example, prepare a plurality of seat covers 4 suitable for different physical ranges, and select an appropriate seat cover 4 to be mounted on the seat body, thereby making one seat The chair body is suitable for a wide range of children's physique.

In the above-mentioned type, all the pads 10, 30, 50 are fixed to the seat cover, but a part of the pad can also be fixed to the seat cover 4, and other pads can be freely detachably disposed on the seat cover.
