FR2730617A1 - Harness to hold baby lying on inclined plane - Google Patents

Abstract

The harness (2) to hold the baby is joined to a sheet (1) and they are both made in fabric. The harness is one piece, in the shape of an hour glass. Its length is equivalent to twice the length from between the legs to the arm pits and it follows the curves of the body (3). The top and bottom parts of the harness (4,5) have corresponding horizontal strips of hooked pile fasteners (6,7) on their opposite surfaces. These are fixed together to fasten the harness round the baby.

Description

The present invention relates to a support device for children lying in reclining, for therapeutic purposes.

One of the main causes of this sleeping method, gastroesophageal reflux, involves, in addition to a drug treatment, prone posture to 30 Any child, lying on such an inclined plane, can slip and find himself below the mattress, hence a position in contradiction with his illness, which can lead, in the most serious cases, "to sudden infant death.

To remedy this type of accident, the invention cited above, will allow parents, nurses, to keep the child comfortably and safely in the upper part of the inclined mattress.

The present invention relates to a support device for laying a child on a mattress inclined at least 30
Child support is traditionally done by harness, not adapted to the morphology of the child and independent of the bedding; straps and straps, used to connect the harness to the mattress, then pass on either side of the tette of the child, risking embarrassing or even injuring him.

According to the invention, the device makes it possible to remedy this drawback: it is a system made of fabric, comprising two parts, producing a homogeneous device: the upper part, or harness, is an integral part of the lower part, fleece sheet or fleece.

This lower part of sufficient dimension to cover a standard mattress, will be attached to the latter by rubbers located, on the underside, at the diagonal of its four angles. (No strap or strap.) In its upper part is attached a harness made of fabric, in one piece, in the shape of an hourglass. Its length will be about twice the distance between crotch - armpits of the child. A rounded cut, such as that of an unfolded "diaper", will ensure comfort at the thighs of the child, taking up the anatomical curves of its morphology. The harness in condition of use will support the weight of the child. vertical middle part, it supports the child between the legs, and in the lateral part, it holds him from the top of the thighs to under the armpits. The sub-ventral side and the upper dorsal side of the harness will be provided in their lateral bands horizontal for so-called self-latching closures (such as those known under the brand Velcro) allowing the harness to be adjusted according to the size of the child. s; the device thus opened to accommodate the child will only reveal the velvet bands with loops avoiding any risk of catching on the child's clothes or hair.

The harness is fixed at the top of the sheet by a seam, over a horizontal distance of about half a child's chest, avoiding any risk of lateral movement.

The appended drawings illustrate the invention, without limiting intention and without excluding any variant.

Figure 1 shows a general plan view of the device according to one invention in the open state, in use.

FIG. 2 represents a perspective showing the upper part of the device at a stage of its regulation.

FIG. 3 represents a general plan view of the device according to the invention in the closed state, under conditions of use.

Figures 4 and 5 shows the position of the child in the holding device, seen in profile and seen in plan.

With reference to these drawings, the device for holding children lying in reclining comprises a lower part (1) constituting the sheet.

In its upper part is fixed by sewing (9) the upper part (2) called the harness. These two parts (1) and (2) form a homogeneous system made of fabric. The harness (2) in the open state recalls the shaped like an hourglass. Its cutout (3) is rounded in lateral parts, in its center. The sub-ventral part (4) and the upper dorsal part (5) are provided in lateral parts with a closure means called auto-ac hooking. The sub-ventral part (4) will receive horizontal bands (6) of velvet with loops, the upper dorsal part (5) will receive corresponding bands of velvet with hooks (7).

The lower part (1) is a rectangle of fabric, type sheet or fleece fleece. Four rubbers (9) located on the underside, at the diagonal of its four angles, fix the latter to the mattress.

Claims (1)

l) device for holding children lying in a reclining position, characterized in that it is composed of two parts made of fabric: a sheet (1) and a harness (2) forming a homogeneous system; one forming an integral part of 'other. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the harness (2) a single piece of fabric, hourglass-shaped, with a length equivalent to twice the distance between the leg - armpits of the child, and according to anatomical curves (3) of its morphology, is fixed to the sheet (1) in the upper part by a horizontal seam (9) approximately equal to half a chest circumference of one child. 3) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that the upper part of the harness in the open position or sub-ventral face (4) is provided in lateral parts with horizontal bands of velvet with loops (6) and the lower part of the harness in position open or upper dorsal side (5) of corresponding horizontal strips of hooked velvet (7) forming a closure system called self-latching. 4) Device according to one of claimsÇcaractérisé in that this homogeneous system is fixed to the mattress by means of four rubbers (8) located at the diagonal of the four angles of the underside of the sheet.
