Description

  The present invention relates to a baby carriage and a baby carriage part that can prevent children from being affected by heat radiation from a road surface.

  According to an investigation by the applicant of this application, when the baby carriage is pushed in the form of a bed on the asphalt road surface at about 2 pm on a sunny day in summer, the baby's face is affected by the heat radiation from the road surface. The temperature at the location was 36.4 ° C, 5.5 degrees higher than the temperature announced by the weather station. This temperature was 3.5 degrees higher than the position of the adult face pushing the baby carriage. When the baby carriage was stopped, the temperature of the infant's face became even higher, and the difference from the temperature of the adult's face exceeded 4 degrees.

  In order to provide a comfortable environment for the child in the seat, it is necessary to minimize the influence of heat radiation from the road surface.

Utility Model Registration No. 3062917 (Patent Document 1) discloses a baby stroller that can protect infants from heat due to radiation of heat rays from the road surface. Specifically, the heat protection device has an outer shape that is substantially the same shape as the shape of the seat portion of the stroller, and includes a sealed bag-like container and a cold storage material filled in the bag-like container. . The heat protection device is placed between the seat forming member of the baby carriage and the child's body to prevent the child's body from getting hot.
Utility Model Registration No. 3062917

  In the heat protection device disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3062917, air around a child is cooled by a cold storage material. For this reason, if the sun protection is used on a day when the outside air temperature is not so high, the child's body may become too cold. In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to attach / remove a heat protection device by checking the outside temperature and weather. Such attachment and removal operations are complicated.

  Moreover, even when a heat protection device is attached on a day when the outside air temperature is high, when the baby carriage enters the shade or indoors, the child's body is excessively cooled by the cold storage material. For this reason, it is necessary to remove the heat protection when in the shade or indoors.

An object of the present invention is to provide a baby carriage capable of reducing the influence of heat radiation from the road surface without performing complicated work.

The baby carriage according to the present invention includes a seat having a seat portion and a backrest portion that is inclined rearward to a substantially horizontal state so that the back surface thereof faces the road surface. In such a baby carriage, a feature of the present invention is that a heat reflecting surface for reflecting radiant heat from the road surface is provided on the back surface of the backrest portion. Since the heat reflecting surface reflects radiant heat from the road surface, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the backrest portion of the baby carriage from rising excessively. The heat reflecting surface is, for example, a heat reflecting sheet attached to the back surface of the backrest portion.

  One example of the baby carriage part is an article storage basket attached under a baby carriage seat, and at least the outer surface of the bottom wall of the article storage basket has a heat reflecting surface.

  Since the bottom wall of the article storage basket is close to the road surface, it is most affected by the radiant heat from the road surface. When the article storage basket is heated to a high temperature by the radiant heat from the road surface, the temperature of the baby carriage seat rises due to the heat generated from the article storage basket. If the outer surface of the bottom wall of the article storage basket has a heat reflecting surface, the radiant heat from the road surface is reflected, so that an excessive increase in the temperature of the seat as described above can be prevented.

  When the article storage basket includes a bottom wall, a front side wall, a rear side wall, and left and right side walls, preferably, the outer surface of the front side wall, the outer surface of the bottom wall, and the outer surface of the rear side wall are respectively heat reflective surfaces. have.

  Another example of the baby carriage part is a seat hammock that is attached to the body of the baby carriage to form a seat, and the rear surface of the seat hammock has a heat reflecting surface. According to this structure, since the heat | fever reflective surface of a seat hammock back surface reflects the radiation heat from a road surface, the excessive temperature rise of a seat can be prevented.

  Still another example of the baby carriage part is a core member of a seat hammock that is attached to the body of the baby carriage, and the back surface of the core member has a heat reflecting surface. According to this structure, since the heat | fever reflective surface of a core material back surface reflects the radiant heat from a road surface, the excessive temperature rise of a seat can be prevented.

  The baby carriage according to the present invention has a heat reflecting surface behind the seat. According to this configuration, since the heat reflecting surface on the back of the seat reflects the radiant heat from the road surface, an excessive temperature rise of the seat can be prevented. In one embodiment, a heat reflecting sheet is provided on the back of the body frame forming the seat.

  The stroller 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a reflective surface under the seat. Specifically, the baby carriage 1 includes a heat reflecting sheet 3 on the back of a seat frame 2 forming a seat in the body frame. Since the heat reflecting sheet 3 faces the road surface and reflects the radiant heat from the road surface, it is possible to prevent the seat from excessively rising in temperature. The material of the heat reflecting sheet 3 may be any material as long as it can reflect the radiant heat from the road surface.

  In the case of a baby carriage provided with a seat whose backrest portion can be tilted backwards to a substantially horizontal state to be in a bed-like form, the backrest portion faces the road surface in the bed state. In this case, since the backrest portion may be heated by the radiant heat from the road surface, preferably, a heat reflecting surface is provided on the back of the backrest frame forming the backrest portion.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a seat hammock 10 that is attached to the body of a baby carriage to form a seat has a heat reflecting surface 11 on the back surface thereof. The seat hammock 10 includes a seat portion and a backrest portion, and the heat reflecting surface 11 is preferably formed on the back surface of the seat portion and the backrest portion. In the case of a stroller in which the back tilt angle of the backrest portion is not so large and does not have a bed shape, a heat reflecting surface may be formed only on the back surface of the seat portion of the seat hammock 10.

  As a method of forming the heat reflecting surface 11, a heat reflecting sheet may be attached to the back surface of the seat hammock 10, or a heat reflecting material may be used for the fibers of the sewing member forming the back surface of the seat hammock 10. Good.

  When the seat hammock includes a core material, a heat reflecting surface may be formed on the back surface of the core material. When the core material includes a seat core material and a back core material, preferably, a heat reflecting surface is formed on the back surface of the seat core material and the back core material.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the article storage basket 20 attached under the baby carriage seat has a heat reflecting surface 24. More specifically, the article storage basket 20 includes a front side wall 21, a bottom wall 22, a rear side wall 23, and left and right side walls, and the outer surface of the front side wall 21, the outer surface of the bottom wall 22, and the rear side wall. The outer surface of 23 has a heat reflecting surface 24.

  Since the bottom wall 22 of the article storage basket 20 faces close to the road surface, it is most affected by the radiant heat from the road surface and is easily heated to a high temperature. If the temperature of the article storage basket 20 rises excessively due to the heating of the bottom wall 22, the temperature of the baby carriage seat rises due to the hot air emitted from the article storage basket 20. Since the heat reflecting surface 24 on the outer surface of the bottom wall 22 reflects the radiant heat from the road surface, the temperature rise of the seat as described above can be suppressed.

  In order to enhance the heat reflection effect of the article storage basket 20, a heat reflection surface 24 is preferably formed on the outer surface of the front side wall 21 and the outer surface of the rear side wall 23 in addition to the outer surface of the bottom wall 22, as shown in FIG. To do. Moreover, you may make it form a heat | fever reflective surface in the outer surface of the right-and-left side wall of an article | item storage basket.
