FIGS. 1 and 2 show a child-carrying device such as worn on the upper body part of a wearer. The carrying device comprises awaist belt 1, which carries astiff plate 2 that extends upward from thewaist belt 1 and is shown situated on the back side of the wearer. Afront piece 3 has side edge portions that are situated in the vicinity of the respective side edge of the plate, at an upper part of theplate 2, and there the same are detachably connected to theplate 2 by means of thecoupling 31. Thefront piece 3 has a lower central band-shaped part that is turned up against theplate 2 and attached to the same in a transversally central position by means of acoupling 40 that preferably has a plurality of vertically spaced-apart alternative fasteners on thesheet 2, for raising and lowering, respectively, the bottom of the folded overfront piece 3. The side edges of thefront piece 3 are spaced-apart from the side edges of thesheet 2 in the area under thecoupling devices 31 for the formation of leg openings for a child sitting in the carrying pocket formed of thefront piece 3. Thefront piece 3 has anupper border part 35 in the area above the level of thefittings 31, and theborder part 35 has laterally projecting end portions, each of which at the end has a first coupling fitting 51 that can be detachably coupled to a coupling fitting 54 at the upper border of thesheet 2. When thecoupling fittings upper border part 35 of thefront piece 3 forms a headrest for the child. The side edges of theborder part 35 are shown recessed in the area between thefittings upper border part 3 of thefront piece 3 can, when thefitting parts 51 are disconnected, be folded down against the lower part of thefront piece 3, around a folding line that lies on the level of thefittings 31. FromFIGS. 1 and 2 , it can be understood that aguide rail 50 extends along each upper corner edge area of theplate 2. Furthermore, ashoulder strap 52 is shown, which with oneend 53 thereof is carried by theleft guide rail 50 inFIG. 2 so that theend 53 can slide along the same under the impact of external forces. From theend 53, thestrap 52 extends up on the back side of the user and over the left shoulder of the user, and from there, obliquely downward over the chest side of the wearer, and around the right side of the wearer under the right arm, and in over the back side of the wearer where thestrap 52 with theother end 54 thereof is slidably connected to theright slide rail 50 inFIG. 2 . - In
FIG. 1 , it can be seen that a stabilizingstrap 60, with oneend 60 thereof, is connected to the shoulder strap approximately in the middle of the chest side. From there, thestrap 60 extends obliquely downward around the left side of the wearer and connects to theleft slide rail 50 inFIG. 2 with theother end 62 thereof, which is displaceable along therail 50. Thestrap 60 can be extended/shortened using afitting 65 therefor, so that theshoulder strap 52 generally can be displaced in parallel downward on the chest side of the wearer, and so that thestrap 52 is brought away from the neck of the user, in particular in the shoulder area. - Based on the state according to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the user can disconnect the stabilizingstrap 60 from theshoulder strap 2 and then open thefitting 10 of thewaist belt 1 so that thewaist belt 1 does not abut against the waist region of the user, but can be rotated around the waist of the user. In that connection, theshoulder strap 52 runs upward in the longitudinal direction thereof inFIG. 1 , so that thesheet 2 including thefront piece 3 and the carrying pocket formed thereof circles around the upper body part of the user, underneath his/her right arm, all the way to a position in the middle of the chest side of the user, the carrying pocket during this entire rotation operation being stably suspended on theshoulder strap 2. - In the new placement of the carrying
pocket 4, the user can again urge thebuckle 10 so that the load from the child is carried against the hips via thesheet 2 and thewaist belt 1. The child-carrying device may naturally also be provided with theshoulder strap 52 arranged in the opposite diagonal direction. - In
FIG. 4 , it can be seen that thelateral end portion 36 of theborder part 35 is elongate and at the ends has a ring-shaped coupling fitting 51, which is received on a part of thefitting 54 formed as apost 55. Thefitting part 51 is shown to have two external diametrically opposed keys, which upon depression allows retraction of thelock wedge 61, which are shown to engage in awaist notch 57 in therespective post 54. Thewedges 61 can be retracted from the shown position by depression of the two keys. In the locked position, the fitting 51 has a ring-shaped surface 71 (FIG. 7 ) that abuts against theappurtenant surface 81 around the bottom part of the post 54 (FIG. 8 ). Thesurface 71 has a plurality of radially directedgrooves 72 spaced-apart around the post. Thesurface 81 around thepost 54 has one or more radial ridges receivable ingrooves 72 mating thereto. Then, thegrooves 72 can receive theridges 85 on thesurface 81 in a plurality of different rotary positions of thefitting part 51 and rotationally secure thefitting part 51 in many different rotary positions. Theend portions 36 have a certain degree of resilient elasticity and are fixedly connected to therespective fitting 51. Theend portions 36 have a greater width than the thickness of thefront piece 3, and inFIG. 4 it is shown that theelongate end portions 36 planely are bent over against each other in a bent-overarea 37 at a certain distance from thefitting 51. Preferably, this distance amounts to somewhat less than 10 cm, by suitable choice of the flexural rigidity and elasticity of thelateral end portions 36. Thus, the end-portion part 38 closest to therespective fitting 51 will pivot in the normal plane of the axis of rotation of thefitting part 51, so that the bent-overareas 37 of theportions 36 can be moved along the corresponding circular arcs that are centred to thefittings 51. Then, the bent-overareas sheet 2 and in that connection form support cushions for, for instance, the cheek bone areas of the child sitting in the carryingpocket 4. In this way, and by accurately selecting the horizontal length of theupper border part 35, it is possible to adjust theupper border part 35 as a headrest, which makes it possible to support the head of the child in an upright position, with the nose of the child between thefittings 51 and with the cheek bone areas of the child resting against the bent-overportions 37, such as is illustrated inFIG. 5 . - In
FIGS. 9 and 10 , it can be seen that theshoulder strap 52 on the lower border thereof has anedge bulge 81 that is comprised of anundercut channel 82 in a slide fitting 84 connected to theend 61 of the stabilizing strap via an L-shaped connection element 91, which is detachably received in anappurtenant recess 92 in thefitting 84. - From
FIG. 9 , it is seen that thefitting 84 comprises a pivotally mountedlever part 86, onearm 87 of which forms a movable part of thegroove 82, and theother arm 88 of which is supported by the foot 93 of thefitting part 91. Thearm part 88 is shown to have an oblique wedging surface in contact with thefoot 33, which in turn rests on a plastic sliding surface in thefitting 84. FromFIG. 9 , it is seen that the opening 92 mouths on the upperside of thefitting 84 and is in the form of anelongate slot 95 that approaches the pivot of thelever 86 toward theupper edge part 89 of the fitting. If the tensile force in the stabilizingstrap 60 aims to pull thefitting 84 in the upward direction along thebulge 81, thefitting element 91 is displaced upward along theguide groove 95, and thefitting foot 33 will pivot thelever 86 so that the same stably seizes theedge bulge 81 and prevents further displacement of thefitting 84 in the upward direction along theshoulder strap 52. - With the exception of the
co-operation surfaces FIGS. 7 and 8 , the associatedfitting parts - By the fact that the
slide rails 50 extend as a continuous arch between the two vertical side edges and horizontal upper edge of the sheet, theportion 53 of theshoulder strap 52 can be displaced into an optimal position that is regulated by the body dimensions of the user and the load in question. - The
waist strap 1 has, of course, adjustment fittings that allow selectable adjustment of the circumference of thewaist belt 1 and that allow opening of the waist belt. - In
FIG. 3 , thestraps - The
fitting parts 54 have both been shown stiffly connected to laterally spaced-apart positions of the stiff sheet 25, on a common height level, but it is feasible to dispense with a stiff lateral mutual coupling between thefitting parts 54, and instead let them be carried, for instance, on a chest strap portion each of a baby carrier of the kind that is disclosed in WO 03/003880, wherein one of co-operatingfitting parts
