Description

  The present invention relates to an auxiliary sunshade for a stroller, which is suitable for protecting a baby mounted on a stroller from sunlight by extending the area of the top by attaching to the front part of a stroller top.

  In general, since a baby stroller is often used outdoors, a awning hood is attached to the top in order to protect an infant placed on the baby stroller from sunlight. This awning hood is attached to the top of the stroller frame by a support frame having a fixed shape. Usually, it is formed of a cloth having the same quality as a baby stroller seat. In addition, this awning hood is foldable and has a shape that protrudes forward with a certain size, and there is a hood that can be shrunk by folds when the support frame is pulled backward based on its pivot point .

  The conventional sun protection hood in such a stroller can cover the infant's head in a certain range and protect it from sunlight, but when the sun is received from the front, the head is directly exposed to sunlight. It becomes an unpreferable state. Therefore, it is sufficient to increase the shade area by enlarging the awning hood, but this will impede the visibility of the infant on board. For this reason, Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 proposes an auxiliary sunshade that can change the range of the sunshade according to the situation.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133620 discloses a hood having a sunshade member at the front end of a baby carriage top that can be selected between a position protruding forward of the hood and a position accommodated inside or outside the hood. . Further, what is known from Patent Document 2 discloses a detachable type in which a plastic auxiliary sunshade member having a light-shielding function is attached to the front end of a baby carriage hood with a clip or the like to extend the sunshade hood. Has been.

  However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the hood described in Patent Document 1 is provided with an auxiliary hood (an awning) added to the basic hood so that the auxiliary hood becomes a basic hood. On the other hand, it is made to protrude or be accommodated depending on whether it is used or not used, so it is only for the baby carriage originally purchased. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to a person who owns a baby carriage (stroller) other than the one provided with this auxiliary hood.

  Further, what is known from Patent Document 2 is detachable, unlike Patent Document 1, so that it can be applied to various baby carriages without being specified as long as it can be mounted and shaped. I have. However, the auxiliary sunshade in this kind of baby carriage is considerably large in size in order to obtain an effect that it can be attached to a hood provided in the baby carriage and further block the incidence of sunlight. Therefore, there is no contradiction when it is used in front of the existing hood of a baby carriage, but when this auxiliary sunshade is unnecessary, if it is installed, it will first become a front cover against the seat, There is a problem that this auxiliary sunshade becomes an obstacle when an infant is seated on a seat or held on the seat. In addition, when running with a baby in a baby carriage without the need for an awning, this awning has a poor visibility from the fact that a translucent UV protection film is formed so that it can be shielded in principle. There is a problem that it is difficult for an infant on a seat to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, although there is an advantage that it can be easily removed, there is a drawback that it is bulky if removed and it is difficult to carry the removed sunshade without hindering walking.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems. An auxiliary sunshade for a stroller for a baby stroller that is easy to handle because the auxiliary sunshade is detachable from an existing hood and can be reduced in volume when removed. It is intended to provide.

In order to achieve the object, the auxiliary sunshade for the stroller according to the present invention is:
Auxiliary awning attached to the front position of the stroller in the stroller, and a light shielding plate made of a light-shielding plastic sheet is connected by a connecting member in the width direction at the intermediate position from the base end to the front end, and can be folded back and forth It consists of two light-shielding pieces, and an elastic support member is attached along the base end of the light-shielding plate. A plurality of connecting pieces are attached to the base end of the light-shielding plate so as to be detachable along the top edge of the stroller hood. It is comprised so that it may be comprised (1st invention).

  In the first invention, the two light shielding pieces are connected by being sandwiched from both front and back surfaces by a flexible tape so as to be folded at a position that is approximately half of the total length from the base end to the tip end. (2nd invention).

  According to the present invention, since the auxiliary sunshade made removable on the existing hood in the stroller is configured to connect the two light shielding portions so that it can be folded at an intermediate position from the base end to the tip end, When used as an auxiliary sunshade, it is attached by a plurality of connecting pieces along the tip of the hood, and the two light shielding pieces are unfolded and bent upward in a state corresponding to the arc of the hood. It is held in the same manner as a single light shielding plate and exhibits a light shielding function. If this auxiliary awning is temporarily in the way, such as when placing or lowering an infant, or when an infant on the light is shielded by light shielding, the light shielding part piece can be removed by unfixing one of the connecting parts. Since the tension force is released, folding the light-shielding piece on the front end side toward the base side can widen the open range in front of the seat and facilitate loading and unloading of the infant. In addition, if the light-shielding part piece is folded and the connection part piece that has been unfastened is connected to the hood again and secured, the light-shielding area can be reduced while the hood is attached to the hood. It is useful when it is difficult to protect from light. In addition, since the length of this auxiliary awning is reduced when folded, the baby stroller stays within the folding size range even if it is mounted on the hood, so it can be carried or stored with the baby stroller installed. However, it will not cause any trouble. Moreover, since this auxiliary sunshade becomes low in volume when folded at the connecting portion, there is an advantage that even if it is removed while using the stroller, it can be easily carried by hand.

  Further, by adopting the configuration of the second invention, when the light shielding part piece is folded, the two light shielding part pieces formed of the sheet material can be stably held with the distal end part overlapping the base end part. In addition, since the light-shielding sheet (light-shielding part piece) is sandwiched between flexible tapes from above and below in the connecting part, the connecting end part is protected and the connecting part can be bent in the folded state. There is an advantage that a failure such as damage does not occur.

  Next, specific embodiments of the auxiliary sunshade for a stroller according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a stroller provided with an auxiliary sunshade according to the present embodiment. 2 is an overall front view of the auxiliary awning, FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part with a part of the perspective omitted, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing how the connecting part of the auxiliary awning is attached to the hood of the stroller. A) and its A-A view (b) are shown respectively.

  The auxiliary sunshade 1 of the present embodiment includes a light-shielding plate 2 formed to a required size using a plastic light-shielding sheet whose front and back surfaces have been subjected to ultraviolet blocking processing, and a base end portion 2a of the light-shielding plate 2 with a stroller 20 And the connecting piece 15 attached to the tip edge 26 of the existing hood 25. The light shielding plate 2 can be folded at an intermediate position from the proximal end to the distal end.

  The shading plate 2 has a dimension B in the width direction that is slightly shorter than the entire circumference of the tip edge 26 of the hood 25 that attaches to the existing stroller 20, and the length dimension L is set to substantially half of the width dimension ( Although not limited to this, it is formed in an arc shape from both sides to the tip. And the two light-shielding part pieces 3 and 4 divided | segmented by the half intermediate position from a base end to a front-end | tip are connected, and it can be folded in a length direction.

  Further, the light shielding plate 2 is integrally provided with an elastic support member 5 with an appropriate width over the entire width along the upper surface of the base end portion 2a, for example, by an adhesive. The elastic support member 5 is preferably a plastic plate having flexibility. Then, the elastic support member 5 is wrapped around the cloth tape 6 from the upper surface to the back surface of the base end portion 2 a and is sewn to the light shielding plate 2. The peripheral edge is also bordered by the cloth tape 7.

  In the connection part 8 of the two light shielding part pieces 3 and 4 forming the light shielding plate 2, the upper surface and the back surface are sandwiched by the thin cloth tapes 9 and 9 ', and the connection end of the light shielding part pieces 3 and 4 is connected. The cloth tapes 9 and 9 'are sewn at a slight interval without coming into contact with each other and can be folded. It should be noted that the decoration tape 9a is attached to the upper surface side of the connecting portion 8 as necessary so that the decoration is provided so as not to cause a sense of incongruity.

  Further, an attachment piece 11 which is formed in an upwardly annular shape using a tape is sewn in the central portion of the upper surface of the base end portion 2a, and the auxiliary awning 1 is attached to the hood 25 of the stroller 20 by this attachment piece 11. The support string 12 is attached.

  On the other hand, the connecting piece 15 is made of plastic, and as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the upper half portion 15a is opened sideways with an appropriate size, and the inside thereof is the light shielding plate described above. A mounting space portion 16 is formed so as to enclose the elastic support member 5 mounting portion of the base end portion 2a in FIG. And the collar piece 17 is formed in the downward direction above the opening part with respect to the mounting | wearing space part 16. As shown in FIG. The lower half portion 15b is opened in a direction opposite to the opening of the upper half portion 15a, and is formed in an upward arc shape with the lower side of the opening portion of the upper half portion 15a as a base end. The arc-shaped portion 15b The inner space of ′ is a mounting space 18 to the front edge 26 of the top 25 of the stroller 20. A gripping piece 15c is formed at the tip of the arcuate portion 15b '. When the gripping piece 15c is pushed down, the opening portion of the mounting space 18 is opened and the tip edge 26 of the top 25 of the stroller 20 is received. It can be worn with elastic force.

  The auxiliary sunshade 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above has a plurality of, for example, three, and both ends and a center of the connecting piece 15 on the portion to which the elastic support member 5 is attached at the base end 2a of the light shielding plate 2. (See FIG. 2), in this state, the light shielding portion pieces 3 and 4 of the light shielding plate 2 are unfolded and the lower half arc-shaped portion 15b 'of the connecting portion piece 15 is opened, The existing hood 25 is attached to the front edge 26 of the hood 25 by engaging from the front side. At this time, when the three connecting pieces 15 are attached to the hood 25, the light shielding plate 2 is bent upward along the front edge 26 of the hood 25 and attached as shown in FIG. In this way, the light-shielding part pieces 3 and 4 to be connected are tensioned by the upward bending, and the intermediate connection part 8 is also tensioned along the light-shielding part piece 3 on the base side and is bent and held in an integrated shape.

  Thus, the baby stroller 20 can easily extend the cover of the hood 25 forward by the existing hood 25 and the auxiliary awning 1 attached to the front side of the hood 25, and the light shielding plate 2 is arranged to the side surface portion. The range over which the direct irradiation of sunlight is blocked by covering the sheet 21 widely can be expanded. Therefore, the head portion of the infant placed on the seat 21 can be protected without being directly irradiated with sunlight from the head portion, and can be safely driven.

  Moreover, since the light-shielding plate 2 of the present embodiment has a structure that can be folded by providing the connecting portion 8 at an intermediate position from the proximal end to the distal end, for example, an infant placed on the seat 21 of the stroller 20 is positioned upward. If it is difficult to get a sense of incongruity because it is surrounded by the light-shielding plate 2, fold the light-shielding plate if the incident angle of sunlight is high and sunlight does not directly enter the seat, or if it is cloudy You can relieve the sense of incongruity by reducing the size of the covered area. In order to do this, the connecting piece 15 located on the side of the front edge 26 of the hood 25 is connected to the lower half of the connecting piece 15 that is mounted on the existing hood 25 with the auxiliary awning 1. The gripping force by the arc-shaped portion 15b 'of 15b is loosened and slid toward the center. As a result, the proximal end portion 2a of the light shielding plate 2 returns to the flat state by the restoring force, and thus the tension on the light shielding portion piece 4 on the distal end side is released. Therefore, if the light-shielding piece 4 on the tip side is folded upward at the connecting portion 8 and the moved connecting portion piece 15 is returned to the original position, the light-shielding plate 2 can be halved to reduce the light-shielding range. it can. When the auxiliary awning 1 is mounted on the existing hood 25, if the auxiliary support string 12 attached to the center of the upper surface is tied to the handle 23 of the stroller 20, a part of the light shielding plate 2 is free. Even if it becomes, it will not fall out.

  Further, if the auxiliary awning 1 is made in the same manner as described above, the light shielding portion protruding above the seat 21 of the stroller 20 is reduced, so that it is easy to place the infant on the seat portion and get off the vehicle.

  Further, as described above, the auxiliary sunshade 1 has a structure in which the light shielding plate 2 having a large area can be folded by being connected at approximately a half of the length in the length direction. When the hood 25 is removed from the front edge 26 and folded, the width becomes narrow, as shown in FIG. In this state, the light shielding portion pieces 3 and 4 are kept flat by the elastic force. However, since the connecting portion 4 is foldable by the cloth tapes 9 and 9 ', the folded portion is not affected at all. Can be treated. Therefore, even when folded and stored, if there is a space corresponding to the length corresponding to the width dimension B as the light shielding plate 3 and the thickness dimension in the folded state, it has the convenience of being stored without being bulky. In addition, even if the baby stroller is removed during use, it is not bulky and thus has the advantage of being easily carried.

  As described above, when the auxiliary awning 1 according to the present embodiment is folded in two at the connecting portion 8, the amount of forward protrusion from the tip edge 26 of the top 25 of the stroller 20 is shortened even in the mounted state. Even if the stroller 20 is folded, the stroller 20 can be folded. Accordingly, there is an advantage that the auxiliary sunshade 1 can be stored in the hood 25 of the stroller 20 with the auxiliary awning 1 attached. When the auxiliary awning is folded, the connecting portion 8 is connected by being sandwiched between the cloth tapes 9 and 9 'as described above, so that it can be folded in either the inner or outer direction.

  In the above description, the use of the attachment piece as described above to attach the auxiliary awning to the existing stroller has been described, but the attachment piece (attachment member) is not limited to this shape. Other clips can also be used.

  As described above, the auxiliary awning according to the present invention is detachable from the existing hood and has a function of folding, so that it is possible to perform operations such as reducing the light-shielding range during use. As well as being arbitrarily applicable, it can be folded and lowered in volume, so that it is convenient for storage and carrying.
