20220212710
The present application is based on and claims the benefit of and priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202120037845.3, filed on Jan. 7, 2021, the entire contents of which being incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a shoulder belt assembly, and in particular to a shoulder belt assembly for a baby carrier. The present disclosure also relates to a baby carrier.
A baby carrier is a vehicle for carrying a baby or infant. The baby carrier usually has wheels and a seat. The wheels enable the baby carrier to be conveniently pushed to move. The seat is usually provided with a safety belt to restrain the baby when the baby carrier is moved, so as to ensure his/her safety. The safety belt may include a shoulder belt, a waist belt, an abdominal belt, or the like, so as to restrain different parts of the baby's body.
In the prior art, although the shoulder belt may be adjusted, it is usually only adjustable in length. For a growing baby, when the shoulder of the baby is higher than a fixed point of the shoulder belt, an adjustment of the shoulder belt could not well satisfy the requirements of restraining the shoulder of the baby.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a shoulder belt assembly that may be adjusted in other ways.
An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a shoulder belt assembly and a baby carrier, which can alleviate or eliminate at least one of the above-mentioned issues.
In order to achieve the above objective, in one aspect, the present disclosure provides a shoulder belt assembly for a seat of a baby carrier, which includes: a fixing belt with both ends fixed to the seat; an adjusting component slidably arranged on the fixing belt; and an adjusting belt connected to the adjusting component in such a way that a length thereof is adjustable.
In one embodiment, one of both ends of the fixing belt is detachably fixed to the seat.
In one embodiment, the fixing belt is vertically positioned on a backrest of the seat, and an upper end of the fixing belt is detachably fixed to the seat.
In one embodiment, the shoulder belt assembly further includes a bearing portion transversely fixed on the backrest of the seat, and both ends of the fixing belt are fixed to the seat by being fixed to the bearing portion.
In one embodiment, the bearing portion is formed into two woven belts.
In one embodiment, the adjusting belt passes through the adjusting component to form a free end, and the shoulder belt assembly further includes a constraint ring sleeved on the adjusting belt and may restrain the free end.
In one embodiment, a fastener is formed on one end of the fixing belt, and a snap ring is formed on the bearing portion, and the fastener can be detachably fixed to the snap ring.
In one embodiment, both ends of the fixing belt are fixed to the seat by sewing.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a baby carrier, which includes: a shoulder belt assembly as described above; a frame; a seat arranged on the frame; and an auxiliary cushion connected to the seat.
In one embodiment, the auxiliary cushion has an upper opening and partially covers the shoulder belt assembly, and the adjusting belt extends out of the auxiliary cushion through the upper opening.
In one embodiment, the baby carrier further includes a waist belt assembly, an abdominal belt assembly and a central locking member, wherein the auxiliary cushion has a lower opening. The waist belt assembly is fixed to a backrest of the seat. The abdominal belt assembly is fixed to a seat cushion of the seat. The central locking member is connected to a free end of the abdominal belt assembly. The waist belt assembly passes through the auxiliary cushion via the lower opening so as to be partially covered by the auxiliary cushion. The adjusting belt and the waist belt assembly are detachably fixed to the central locking member.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure can adjust the shoulder belt assembly more flexibly, so as to adapt to a baby with growing height. Furthermore, the shoulder belt assembly of the present disclosure has simple structure and good reliability, and is convenient to operate.

The baby carrier of the present disclosure may have a frame 30 as shown in
The first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.
The seat 40 may be provided with a safety belt assembly 10 for restraining the baby, so as to prevent the baby from accidentally falling off the baby carrier when the baby carrier is moving.
The safety belt assembly 10 includes a shoulder belt assembly 100, a waist belt assembly 300, an abdominal belt assembly 400 and a central locking member 500. The shoulder belt assembly 100 and the waist belt assembly 300 may be fixed to the backrest of the seat 40, and the abdominal belt assembly 400 may be fixed to the seat cushion of the seat 40. An end (i.e., free end) of the abdominal belt assembly 400 away from the seat cushion may be fixed with the central locking member 500. The shoulder belt assembly 100 and the waist belt assembly 300 are detachably fixed to the central locking member 500, so that the safety belt assembly 10 is in a use state.
As shown in
As shown in
The back of the auxiliary cushion 20 may be provided with an engaging sheet 230. An upper side of the engaging sheet 230 may be fixed to an upper side of the auxiliary cushion 20.
The shoulder belt assembly 100 may include: a fixing belt 110, both ends of which are fixed to the seat 40; an adjusting component 130 slidably provided on the fixing belt 110; an adjusting belt 120 connected to the adjusting component 130 in such a way that a length thereof may be adjusted.
As shown in
Optionally, the upper end of the fixing belt 110 is non-detachably fixed, while the lower end of the fixing belt 110 is detachably fixed to the seat 40 or the bearing portion 160. Optionally, both ends of the fixing belt 110 are detachably fixed to the seat 40 or the bearing portion 160.
Referring to
The fixing belt 110 is slidably provided with an adjusting component 130. The adjusting component 130 may be formed as a frame having a crossbar in the middle. The fixing belt 110 may pass through the adjusting component 130 from one side of a crossbar, bypass the crossbar, and reversely pass through the adjusting component 130 again from the other side of the crossbar. The adjusting component 130 may also be slidably fixed to the fixing belt 110 in other ways.
The adjusting belt 120 may pass through the adjusting component 130 and reversely extend to form a free end 121. The adjusting belt 120 may pass through the adjusting component 130 from one side of the other crossbar of the adjusting component 130, bypass the other crossbar, and reversely pass through the adjusting component 130 again from the other side of the other crossbar. An end of the adjusting belt 120 away from the free end 121 may be formed with a component that cooperates with the central locking member 500 to be locked. The shoulder belt assembly 100 may further include a restraint ring 170, and the restraint ring 170 is sleeved on the adjusting belt 120 and may restrain the free end 121. The restraint ring 170 may be slid on the adjusting belt 120. Depending on the length of the free end 121, the restraint ring 170 may move to a position close to a tail of the free end 121 and bind the free end 121 onto the adjusting belt 120. In this way, the adjusting belt 120 may have a neater posture without being scattered. The adjusting belt 120 may also be slidably fixed to the fixing belt 110 by other means. The fixing belt 110 may be tensioned between its two ends, that is, a distance between positions where the two ends of the fixing belt 110 are fixed is substantially equal to a length of the fixing belt 110. The fixing belt 110 may also be slightly inclined, for example, formed in an inverted “” (i.e., a Chinese character of “eight”) shape as shown in
The length of the adjusting belt 120 may be shortened by pulling the free end 121 (thereby shortening the overall length of the shoulder belt assembly 100), while the length of the adjusting belt 120 may be increased by pulling the adjusting belt 120.
The length of the shoulder belt assembly 100 may be changed by sliding the adjusting component 130 on the fixing belt 110, and the fixing position of the adjusting belt 120 may also be changed at the same time. Since the fixing belt 110 is covered by the auxiliary cushion 20, when the shoulder belt assembly 100 is used, the shoulder of the baby only contacts with the adjusting belt 120. The fixing position of the adjusting belt 120 may be changed by sliding the adjusting component 130 on the fixing belt 110, so as to adapt to the baby with different shoulder heights, such that the shoulder belt assembly 100 only applies a binding force towards the backrest of the seat 40, rather than a downward pressure onto the baby.
The second embodiment of the present disclosure is similar to the first embodiment, and the difference therebetween will be described below.
Both ends of the fixing belt 110 are non-detachably fixed (for example, by sewing) to the bearing portion 160, however, when there is no bearing portion 160, the ends may also be fixed to the backrest of the seat 40. That is, the fastener 150 is not provided at the end of the fixing belt, and also the snap ring 140 is not formed on the bearing portion 160.
Those skilled in the art will easily conceive of other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the present disclosure disclosed herein. The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, purposes or adaptations of the present disclosure, which conform to the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present disclosure. The true scope and spirit of the present disclosure is indicated by the claims of the present disclosure.
Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to typical examples, the terminology used is illustrative and exemplary rather than limiting. Since the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit and essence of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted as the broadest possible way within the scope defined by the claims, and therefore all changes that fall within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the claims.
