TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of baby products, in particular to a handrail assembly and a manufacturing method therefore, a support frame structure having the handrail assembly and a child carrier.


BACKGROUND

When a child carrier is to be designed and the safety of the child is taken for consideration, a front handrail is usually designed at its handrail that extends forward and can prevent a child from falling forward. Generally, the front handrail is covered with a protective sleeve with a buffering function. The child having strong curiosity may often bite and pull the protective sleeve of the front handrail when they are sitting in the child carrier, and the protective sleeve is made of a flexible material to provide the buffering function and is thus easily broken due to the child’s biting or pulling, so that the handrail body may be exposed to the outside to eliminate its buffering function and may be swallowed by the child to seriously endanger the child’s life safety.


Furthermore, protective covers of traditional baby carriers in the market are largely made of leathers covered with an adhesive layer and then pasted with EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer), and then a handrail tube is applied with a layer of glue evenly on a surface thereof to assemble the protective sleeve onto the handrail tube of the child carrier. It takes a long time to wait for the glue to be solidified before the protective sleeve is fixed and pasted on the handrail tube. This process is complicated, and a single person can only process one handrail assembly at one time, which consumes labor and working-hours. Moreover, a fitting effect between the protective sleeve and the handrail tube after being assembled is not good enough, and the protective sleeve and the handrail tube may not be tightly fitted, present uneven wrinkles, which greatly affects overall aesthetics of the handrail assembly and the child carrier.


Therefore, it is necessary to provide a handrail assembly, which can prevent fillings from being exposed to the outside, prevent the child from accidentally swallowing the fillings and thus guarantee the child’s life safety, and can provide a simple processing operation and a manufacturing method for the handrail assembly.
