Description
- This invention relates to a baby sling that is used when carrying an infant as a supportive device to hold the infant.
- A conventional art of the kind mentioned above is described in Japanese Patent Laid Open No.
2007-75238 2007-75238 baby sling 1 that has an annularly formedbelt body 10 in which thebelt body 10 is formed of a knitted fabric that a central part 14 and side edge parts 15 are integrally knitted together using an elastic yarn for the central part 14 in a width direction and a non-elastic yarn for the side edge part 15. In addition, in the width direction of thebelt body 10, the central part 14 is composed of a net tissue that is knitted into a relatively coarse net and the side edge part 15 is composed of a dense tissue that is knitted into a relatively fine net. Thebelt body 10 has also net tissues 13b and 13d that are knitted into relatively coarse nets and dense tissues 13a, 13c and 13d that are knitted into relatively fine nets in a longitudinal direction thereof. - The number for each part is a code that has been used to describe the embodiment of the Japanese Patent Laid Open No.
2007-75238 - In the Japanese Patent Laid Open No.
2007-75238 belt body 10 has a restricted elongation by the non-elastic yarn while the central part 14 is elongated in the width and longitudinal directions by expansion of the knitted fabric and elongation of the elastic yarn itself. Thereby, the central part 14 may change into a more three-dimensional appearance and fitness may be improved. In addition, the side edge part 15 has a further restricted elongation and the central part 14 has net tissues 13b and 13d that have change in shape in addition to the elongation of the elastic yarn itself. Thereby, a significant difference may be shown in stretchability between the central part 14 and the side edge part 15. The central part 14 may change into a much more three-dimensional appearance and fitness may be enhanced. Moreover, thebelt body 10 may have an improved strength by knitting the side edge part 15 into dense tissues 13a, 13c and 13e. Besides, an infant holding part 13d, a shoulder pad part 13b or the like which requires elongation in a width direction is knitted into a net tissue to secure the fitness while other parts may be knitted into dense tissues 13a, 13c and 13e to enhance the strength. Furthermore, net tissues 13b and 13d are strong and easily knitted separately from dense tissues 13a, 13c and 13e. Additionally, a diameter of the annular body is adjustable to fit a user's body. - In the Japanese Patent Laid Open No.
2007-75238 rings 11 are attached to one end of 13a of a net-like belt body 10 and aretaining member 12 which is made of a hard rubber sheet is sewn on an opposite end 13e thereof. The baby sling is formed in an annular shape by inserting the opposite end 13e of thebelt body 10 into tworings 11 to restrain therebetween. In a longitudinal direction of an annular body, thebelt body 10 has part between one end 13a to which thering 11 is attached and the opposite end 13e on which the retainingmember 12 is sewn that corresponds to a shoulder pad part 13b to be placed on a user's shoulder, a back pad part 13c to be placed on the user's back and an infant holding part 13d to hold an infant. A diameter of the annular body is adjustable to fit the user's body without regulation by adjusting a position where it is restrained with thering 11. - In the baby sling described in the Japanese Patent Laid Open No.
2007-75238 rings 11 are attached to one end 13a of the net-like belt body 10 and the retainingmember 12 which is made of a hard rubber sheet is sewn on the opposite end 13e of thebelt body 10, wherein the baby sling is formed in an annular shape by inserting the opposite end 13e of thebelt body 10 into the tworings 11 to restrain therebetween. However, even if the baby sling is inserted into two rings to restrain therebetween, slippage may occur during use. Thereby, the user does not feel safe when he or she puts an infant on the baby sling just with his or her hands on the infant. Actually, the user carries the infant with his or her hands around the infant's buttocks during use. - It is an object of the present invention to provide a baby sling that can stably receive an infant at an infant holding part without change in a whole length of an annular body.

In the embodiment, same code and same sign in the drawings mean the same or an equivalent function part. Therefore, overlapped detail explanation will be omitted here.
- In
Fig. 1 , a baby sling according to an embodiment of the present invention includes aninfant holding part 10, abelt part 20 and ashoulder pad part 30 integrally knitted together to form an annular shape. - The
infant holding part 10 has a maximum width that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction of an annular body and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of an annular body toward both ends in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. In addition, both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are formed of a knitted fabric "A" that has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and includes anouter part 11 which is knitted with a rib stitch, also known as Japanese "gomuami". The rib stitch that is applied to theouter part 11 is referred to as the Japanese "gomuami" or a fraise stitch also. There is no distinction between opposite surfaces of a knitted fabric thereof and the opposite surfaces are same in appearance. The rib stitch provides a relatively high stretchability in a lateral direction and a relatively low stretchability in a longitudinal direction compared with a plain stitch. A property of the rib stitch that provides a relatively low stretchability in a longitudinal direction may be applied to the longitudinal direction of the annular body. A spun yarn, a filament yarn, a monofilament yarn, a bulky yarn, a hollow yarn, a covered yarn, a core yarn, a composite yarn, a flat yarn, a modified cross-section yarn, a split yarn, a Japanese lacquer yarn or the like may be used as a yarn used herein. - The plain stitch is not unusable in the low elastic knitted fabric "A" that is used in each longitudinal direction of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body according to the present embodiment.
- A center side in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, which is formed of a knitted fabric "B" that has a high elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body or in a width of the
infant holding part 10, corresponds to aninner part 12 that is knitted with a plain stitch such as a mesh stitch or a pattern stitch. The plain stitch that is applied to theinner part 12 provides the most basic knitted tissue that a front surface of the knitted tissue seems to have a band in a longitudinal direction and a reverse surface thereof seems to have a slightly coarse appearance. However, in the practice of the present invention, theinfant holding part 10 and/or theshoulder pad part 30 is knitted with a mesh stitch having breathability. Thereby, the baby sling can be used without a damp feeling. In addition, the plain stitch that is applied to theinner part 12 provides elasticity to a specific direction by applying a mesh stitch, a pattern stitch or the like. - The
inner part 12, which is formed of a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that is knitted with a plain stitch such as a mesh stitch or a pattern stitch, may be knitted with a purl stitch instead. The purl stitch provides a high elasticity in both the longitudinal direction of the annular body and the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body. - The
belt part 20 is formed to be connected to both ends in the longitudinal direction of theinfant holding part 10 and formed of a knitted fabric "A", which is knitted with a rib stitch or the like, having a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. - The
shoulder pad part 30 has a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body toward both ends in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, wherein both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are formed of a knitted fabric "A", which corresponds toouter parts 31 which are knitted with a rib stitch, having a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. In addition, theshoulder pad part 30 is formed to be connected to both ends of thebelt part 20 and formed of a low elastic knitted fabric that has a gradually increase in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Aninner part 32 is formed of a knitted fabric "B", which is knitted with a plain stitch such as a mesh stitch or a pattern stitch, having a high elasticity in the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body or in the width direction of theinfant holding part 10. Especially if the knitted fabric "B" that has a high elasticity in the width direction of theinfant holding part 10 is knitted with a plain stitch that is also a mesh stitch having an air hole, the breathability may prevent the infant from having a damp feeling. - The baby sling according to the present embodiment is a finished product that is knitted with a single spun yarn using a WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine as a seamless flat knitting machine (WHOLEGARMENT is a registered trademark of Shima Seki Mfg., Ltd.) so that the
infant holding part 10, thebelt part 20 and theshoulder pad part 30 are integrally knitted together to form an annular shape. MACH2X and MACH2S that are WHOLEGARMENT flat knitting machines manufactured by Shima Seki Mfg., Ltd. are used as the WHOLEGARMENT knitting machine as used herein. -
Figs. 2 to 8 andFig. 9 are indicated as a knitting pattern diagram showing a relationship between a needle and a knitting yarn that show a specific knitting process. - A symbol diagram in
Fig. 2 showing control of a knitting process is described as follows. A first knitting process shows a plain stitch on a front side. A second knitting process shows a plain stitch on a reverse side. A third knitting process shows an adjustment of a position of a needle to a left side by one pitch after the process of the plain stitch on the front side. A fourth knitting process shows an adjustment of the position of the needle to a right side by one pitch after the process of the plain stitch on the front side. A fifth knitting process shows an adjustment of a position of a needle to a left side by one pitch after the process of the plain stitch on the reverse side. A sixth knitting process shows an adjustment of the position of the needle to a right side by one pitch after the process of the plain stitch on the reverse side. -
Fig. 3 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "a" inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 31 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 32 is knitted with a plain stitch. This knitting pattern is formed to be connected to an opposite side of the knitting pattern diagram shown inFig. 3 . -
Fig. 4 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "b" inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 31 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 32 is knitted with a plain stitch. The high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to theinner part 32 is knitted with the plain stitch so as to be connected to the rib stitch that is applied to thebelt part 20 shown inFig. 1 . -
Fig. 5 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "c" shown inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 31 is knitted with a rib stitch. -
Fig. 6 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "d" inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 11 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 12 is knitted with a plain stitch. The high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to theinner part 12 is knitted with the plain stitch so as to be connected to the rib stitch that is applied to thebelt part 20 shown inFig. 1 . -
Fig. 7 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "e" inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 11 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 12 is knitted with a plain stitch. In addition, anadditional part 13, which is located lateral to theouter part 11, is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "C" that is knitted with the same rib stitch as theouter part 11 so as to be connected to theouter part 11. Each side of theadditional part 13, which is located lateral to theouter part 11, is knitted in a different way so as to be readily involved. Thereby, it makes harder for theouter part 11 to partially bite into infant's legs which are hanging out of the baby sling. -
Fig. 8 is a knitting pattern diagram of part "g" that is sown inFig. 1 in which a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 11 and anadditional part 13 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 12 is knitted with a plain stitch. The high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to theinner part 12 is formed of the plain stitch so as to be connected to the rib stitch that is applied to thebelt part 20 shown inFig. 1 . In addition, theadditional part 13, which is located lateral to theouter part 11, is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "C" that is knitted with the same rib stitch as theouter part 11 so as to be connected to theouter part 11. -
Fig. 9 is a knitting pattern net diagram (photograph) of part "g" inFig. 1 , illustrating a specific example. InFig. 9 , a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that corresponds to anouter part 11 is knitted with a rib stitch and a high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to aninner part 12 is knitted with a plain stitch. The high elastic knitted fabric "B" that corresponds to theinner part 12 is formed of the plain stitch so as to be connected to the rib stitch that is applied to thebelt part 20 shown inFig. 1 . - The baby sling according to the present embodiment comprises an
infant holding part 10, abelt part 20 and ashoulder pad part 30 integrally knitted together to form an annular shape. As shown in a lower part ofFig. 1 , theinfant holding part 10 has a maximum width W that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction of an annular body and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, wherein both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body consist ofouter parts 11 that are formed of a knitted fabric "A" which has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and a center side in the longitudinal direction of the annular body consists of aninner part 12 that is formed of a knitted fabric "B" which has a high elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to at least the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Thebelt part 20 is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that is connected to both ends of theinfant holding part 10 in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Theshoulder pad part 30 is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that is connected to both ends of thebelt part 20 and has a gradually increase in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. - The maximum width W that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction of an annular body as used herein is to describe a breadth but not intended to find a distance in the longitudinal direction of the wide annular body. In addition, the central part in the longitudinal direction of the annular body as used herein means a criterion that is used when a position of the
infant holding part 10 is considered to be a center. The baby sling according to the present embodiment is in an annular shape. Thereby, there is no central part around theinfant holding part 10 based on the figure. That is, the central part in the longitudinal direction of the annular body means a conformation under a prior condition to specify a center of theinfant holding part 10. - Especially in the present embodiment, a case that front and reverse surfaces are same in appearance as shown in
Fig. 1 is described. However, in the practice of the present invention, it is not always necessary that thebelt part 20 keeps a uniform length. - In the baby sling according to the present embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 10 , aninfant holding part 10 that holds an infant has a maximum width W that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction (circumferential direction) of an annular body and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, wherein both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are formed of a knitted fabric "A" that has a low elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body and a center side in the longitudinal direction of the annular body is formed of a knitted fabric "B" that has a high elasticity in the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Thereby, an infant's body weight is applied to the high elastic knitted fabric "B" and both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are guarded with the low elastic knitted fabric "A". Thus, the baby sling can stably hold the infant. In addition, ashoulder pad part 30 is formed to be connected to both ends of abelt part 20 which is formed to be connected to both ends of theinfant holding part 10 in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Thereby, the infant's body weight can be dispersed without concentration on one part of a shoulder and fatigue on the shoulder of a person who holds the infant can be reduced. Moreover, theinfant holding part 10, thebelt part 20 and theshoulder pad part 30 are integrally knitted together to form an annular shape. Thereby, there is no possibility that some parts are torn or elongated with a seam partially open. Accordingly, a safe and secure baby sling can be provided. - Thus, there is provided a baby sling that can stably hold an infant at the
infant holding part 10 without change in a whole length of the annular body. - In this embodiment, as shown in the lower part of
Fig. 1 , theinfant holding part 10 has the maximum width W that corresponds to the central part in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and a gradually decrease in width, which results from a gradual decrease in number of stitches, between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, wherein theinfant holding part 10 consists ofouter parts 11,additional parts 13 and aninner part 12. Theouter parts 11, which correspond to both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, are formed of a knitted fabric "A" that has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Theadditional parts 13, which are located lateral toouter parts 11, are formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "C" that has an increase in width resulting from a gradual increase in number of stitches and a decrease in width also. Besides, theouter parts 11 are arranged at both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and formed of a knitted fabric "A" that has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Theinner part 12, which corresponds to the central part in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, is formed of a knitted fabric "B" that has a high elasticity in the width direction which is at right angle to at least the longitudinal direction of the annular body. In addition, theadditional part 13 is knitted with a plain stitch so as to be involved in the width direction, which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body, of theinfant holding part 10. This makes theouter part 11 andadditional part 13 thicker. Even if the infant is carried with his or her legs hanging out of the baby sling as shown inFig. 11a , there is no possibility that theouter part 11 and theadditional part 13 bite into the infant's legs. Thereby, a burden to the infant is reduced. - The
infant holding part 10 as used herein has a center that is curved downward to form a convex shape when the baby sling is folded in two so as to be at right angles to each other in the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Thereby, it readily weighs down with the infant's weight and a center of gravity is created in theinfant holding part 10 or an adjacent part thereof to maintain a stable balance. Therefore, the baby sling may be a supportive device to hold an infant that it is easy to use even if the infant is carried as shown inFig. 11a . - Especially when the infant is carried as shown in
Fig. 11b , theinfant holding part 10 has a center that is curved downward to form a convex shape and readily weighs down with the infant's weight. A center of gravity is created in theinfant holding part 10 or an adjacent part thereof, thereby providing a stable feeling when carrying the infant. -
Outer parts infant holding part 10 and a rim of theshoulder pad part 30, respectively. Thereby, theouter parts inner part 12 of theinfant holding part 10 and aninner part 32 of theshoulder pad part 30 are elastic. Therefore, the baby sling has a structure enough to sustain a weight, wherein improvement in appearance and functional beauty are represented. - As an example, the
shoulder pad part 30 has a center that is curved upward to have a convex shape when the baby sling is folded in two so as to be at right angles to each other in the longitudinal direction of the annular body as shown inFig. 13 . Thereby, when the convex-shaped portion is placed on a shoulder as shown inFig. 11a , the infant's body weight can be a composition of vectors going from an upper side and a lateral side of the shoulder. Therefore, even a person who is likely to have a stiff shoulder can use it without having the stiff shoulder. In addition, the baby sling may not put a burden on an adjacent part of a neck. Thus, the user's burden such as fatigue can be reduced. - In the embodiment shown in
Fig. 1 , theshoulder pad part 30 consists of theouter part 31 that is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "A" and theinner part 32 that is formed of a high elastic knitted fabric "B". However, a person (adult) who carries an infant with the baby sling has an approximately certain range in shoulder width and the baby sling may have hardly an uneven surface even with a shoulder pad for clothing. Thereby, theinner part 32 that is formed of a high elastic knitted fabric "B" may be formed as theshoulder pad part 30 like theouter part 31. - That is, as shown in
Fig. 12 , theshoulder pad part 30 may be formed to have an increase in part of width in a width direction which is at right angle to a longitudinal direction of an annular body. Alternatively, theshoulder pad part 30 may be formed to make a width (not shown) in the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body same as a width of thebelt part 20 or make it slightly widen compared to the width of thebelt part 20. -
Fig. 12 shows a baby sling according to a second embodiment of the invention in which ashoulder pad part 30 has some increase in part of width in a width direction which is at right angle to a longitudinal direction of an annular body. Theshoulder pad part 30 has the increased width which is longer than a width of abelt part 20 by 10 to 30%. Thereby, a burden on a shoulder of a person who carries an infant with the baby sling can be shared and reduced. Especially in the second embodiment shown inFig. 12 , theshoulder pad part 30 is an extension of the same rib stitch as thebelt part 20. Therefore, workability may be improved. - In the baby sling according to the second embodiment of the invention, the
shoulder pad part 30 has some increase in part of width in the width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body by 10 to 30% compared to the width of thebelt part 20. However, an infant's body weight is about 10 kg. Thereby, theshoulder pad part 30 may be arranged with thebelt body 20 not to have an extra width. Alternatively, theshoulder pad part 30 may be formed to have the same width as thebelt body 20. In addition, anadditional part 13 is located lateral to anouter part 11 and formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "C" that is knitted with a plain stitch so as not to have expansion and contraction as well as theouter part 11, wherein theadditional part 13 is formed to be connected to theouter part 11. A mesh stitch, a pattern stitch or the like is not applied to the plain stitch that is applied to theadditional part 13, wherein a property of being involved that is shown in the plain stitch is utilized directly. - That is, the baby sling according to the second embodiment of the invention comprises an
infant holding part 10, abelt part 20 and ashoulder pad part 30 integrally knitted together to form an annular body. Theinfant holding part 10 has a maximum width W that corresponds to a central part in a longitudinal direction of an annular body and a gradually decrease in width between both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body, wherein both sides in the longitudinal direction of the annular body are formed of a knitted fabric "A" that has a low elasticity in the longitudinal direction of the annular body and a center side in the longitudinal direction of the annular body is formed of a knitted fabric "B" that has a high elasticity in a width direction which is at right angle to the longitudinal direction of the annular body. Thebelt part 20 is formed of a low elastic knitted fabric "A" that is connected to both ends in a longitudinal direction of theinfant holding part 10. - In the baby sling according to the second embodiment of the invention, the
