Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a core material for forming a protective wall on a mat for infants and infants, and to a mat for infants and infants.

[Prior Art] For example, some baby carriage seats have a reclining function, and such seats can be transformed into a bed-like shape based on the reclining function.

When focusing on a baby carriage seat that is shaped like a bed, there are various members around the seat that act as protective walls. For example, the infant seat mat itself that forms the surface of the seat has side guard parts formed on both sides of the backrest part.
Further, a head guard portion is formed on the backrest portion. Furthermore, a pair of handrails provided on the main body of the baby carriage also function as a protective wall.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 2-13445 discloses a ``baby mat protector'' which is combined with an infant mat used exclusively indoors. This "baby mat protector" includes a mud guard that is higher than the baby mat and surrounds at least a portion of the periphery of the baby mat, and a guard support frame that prevents the mud guard from falling. A shock absorbing member is arranged on the surface of the mudguard on the baby mat side. Further, the guard support frame is composed of a laying piece laid under the baby mat, and a screen piece that rises upward in succession to the laying piece and supports the mudguard from the outside.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In the above-mentioned "prior art", when looking at the baby carriage seat described earlier, from the point of view of protecting the baby, although the hands and fingers are located on both sides of the seat, Normally, the length of the handrail no longer reaches the front half of the seat, leaving both sides open. In particular, when the seat is made into a bed, the seat extension that hangs down in front of the seat may be deformed to extend horizontally. No protective wall is formed over the directional dimension.

Therefore, in order to increase safety for infants,
It is desirable that protective walls be formed over the entire length range in the front and rear direction on both sides of the seat. Such a protective wall can be achieved by providing leg guards on both sides of the seat of the baby seat mat, similar to the side guards formed on both sides of the backrest.

However, the leg guards that stand up from both sides of the seat are
In a seat provided with a seat extension, it is not appropriate to simply provide a leg guard to solve the problem, since this inhibits the hanging motion of the seat extension.

On the other hand, in the ``baby mat protector'' used indoors in the ``prior art'' described above, there is a possibility that the mudguard comes into contact with infants, so a shock absorbing member must be added to the mudguard. Moreover, two members are required for both the mudguard and the guard support frame.

Therefore, the object of the invention is to provide a core material for forming a protective wall in infant mats, which can be used not only for indoor use, but also for baby carriage seats. .

Another object of the present invention is to provide an infant mat suitable for use with a core material as described above.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, first, a core material for forming a protective wall by raising the peripheral edge of a mat for infants is provided. Such a core material is characterized in that it is removable from the infant mat, includes a side wall extending along the raised peripheral edge of the infant mat, and that the side wall is self-supporting.

According to the present invention, there is also provided a mat for infants suitable for using the core material as described above.

This baby mat is characterized in that a bag-shaped portion that receives the side wall of the core material is formed at its periphery.

Infant mats such as those described above are used, for example, to form the surface of a baby carriage seat.

[Function] By using the core material according to the second invention, the peripheral edge of the mat for infants can be raised along the side wall of the core material.

Further, according to the mat for infants according to the present invention, the side wall of the core material is received in the bag-shaped portion formed on the periphery of the mat, so that the mat for infants can be properly positioned with respect to the core material. .

[Effects of the Invention] According to the core material according to the present invention, the peripheral edge of the mat for infants can be raised, and the raised peripheral edge itself forms a protective wall.

Therefore, the conventional "baby mat protector" mentioned above
There is no need to place a shock absorbing member on the mudguard.

In addition, since the side wall of the core material according to the present invention can stand on its own, it does not require a member such as a guard support frame to prevent the mudguard from falling, unlike the above-mentioned conventional "baby mat protector". . Therefore, unlike this prior art, there is no need to handle at least two members.
It is easier to handle the core material to form a protective wall on the infant mat.

Further, since the core material according to the present invention is removable from the infant mat, it can be used only when necessary. Therefore, for example, in a baby carriage seat,
It can be used only if it is desired to form a protective wall, the presence of which does not impede the hanging movement of the seat extension, for example. In addition, infant mats are
It is also possible to use the mat without forming a protective wall, and for example, if it is an indoor mat for infants, it can be used in a normal state as well. In other words, simply by combining the core material of the present invention with an ordinary indoor mat for infants, it is possible to use the mat with a protective wall formed thereon.

According to the mat for infants according to the present invention, since the bag-shaped portion that receives the side wall of the core material is formed at its peripheral portion,
The baby mat and the core material can be properly aligned with each other. Therefore, for example, even when applied to a baby mat provided in a baby carriage seat that is subjected to various forces or vibrations due to movement, the core material can be reliably positioned with respect to the baby mat.
