Abstract

The invention relates to a stroller embodied in such a way that babies are enabled to learn walking with the guidance of adults. Said stroller consists of a frame (1) provided with two wheels (2) which are vertically adjustable with the aid of a knurled button (9) arranged on a telescopic tube. Said frame comprising a seat (6) for a baby is held by an accompanying person (3) by means of a control arm (4) for guiding and helping the baby when he (she) is standing. The pressure on the legs can be reduced by a simple angular variation of the control arm (4) downward when the stroller moves. The inventive stroller is a device for initiating a baby to walk prior to the use of a traditional trotter.

Description

Poussette de bébé pour l'apprentissage de la marche Baby stroller for learning to walk
La présente invention concerne une poussette aménagée pour permettre l'apprentissage de la marche aux jeunes enfants sous la conduite d'un adulte.The present invention relates to a stroller designed to allow young children to learn to walk under the guidance of an adult.
Dès les premiers mois, il n'est pas rare que les parents d'un jeune bébé essayent de faire marcher leur enfant tout en le tenant par la taille ou par les bras. C'est très important, parce que cela permet de voir à quel moment l'enfant maîtrise le geste d'avancer les jambes l'une après l'autre dans le sens de la marche. Cependant cette façon de faire est près pénible pour l'adulte qui opère le buste plié, en porte à faux et dans des temps trop longs, surtout quand le bébé cherche à continuer l'exercice.From the first months, it is not uncommon for the parents of a young baby to try to make their child walk while holding him by the waist or by the arms. This is very important, because it allows you to see when the child masters the movement of advancing the legs one after the other in the direction of walking. However, this way of doing things is almost painful for the adult who operates the folded bust, cantilevered and in too long times, especially when the baby seeks to continue the exercise.
Il existe bien des appareils déambulatoires, des trotteurs ou des poussettes transformables en trotteur où l'enfant livré à lui même s'exerce tout seul en utilisant ses jambes pour se déplacer.There are many ambulatory devices, baby walkers or strollers that can be transformed into baby walkers where the child left to himself exercises himself by using his legs to move around.
Mais cette pratique n'est valable que si l'enfant a déjà acquit une certaine autonomie et une certaine force qui le pousse à vouloir marcher.But this practice is only valid if the child has already acquired a certain autonomy and a certain force which pushes him to want to walk.
La poussette selon l'invention permet l'initiation à la marché avant l'utilisation des trotteurs traditionnels. Elle comporte en effet un châssis, monté sur deux roues, tenu par l'accompagnateur grâce à un bras de manœuvre pour conduire et assister l'enfant debout sur ses jambes à travers un siège dont la hauteur (h) par rapport au sol est variable en cours d'évolution par la commande de la poignée du bras de manoeuvre. CétteTiouvelle façon de procéder est valable dans l'idée qu'à tout moment de l'évolution de la poussette l'accompagnateur peut faire varier le poids de l'enfant sur ses jambes jusqu'à l'annuler pour une position du siège en hauteur ne permettant que l'effleurement du sol avec les pieds.The stroller according to the invention allows initiation to the market before the use of traditional trotters. It indeed comprises a chassis, mounted on two wheels, held by the guide thanks to a maneuvering arm to drive and assist the child standing on his legs through a seat whose height (h) from the ground is variable in the course of evolution by the control of the handle of the operating arm. This new way of proceeding is valid in the idea that at any time during the evolution of the stroller the guide can vary the weight of the child on his legs until canceled for a position of the seat in height allowing only the touch of the ground with the feet.
Selon un mode de réalisation :According to one embodiment:
La figure 1 représente une vue de côté de la poussette avec l'enfant et son accompagnateur.Figure 1 shows a side view of the stroller with the child and his companion.
La figure 2 représente une vue de face du châssis. La figure 3 présente un mode de fixation du bras de manœuvre.Figure 2 shows a front view of the chassis. Figure 3 shows a method of fixing the operating arm.
La figure 4 présente une vue de côté du coussin d'entrejambe.Figure 4 shows a side view of the crotch cushion.
La poussette, suivant la figure 1, comprend un châssis (1) équipé de deux roues (2) réglables en hauteur par bouton moleté (9) sur tube télescopique. Ce même châssis comprenant le siège (6) de l'enfant (5) est tenu par l'accompagnateur (3) grâce à un bras de manœuvre (4) pour conduire et assister l'enfant debout sur ses jambes. Il est facile de voir qu'une simple variation angulaire du bras commandé à partir de la poignée (7) par l'accompagnateur entraîne une variation de la hauteur du siège (6) par rapport au sol, du fait de la position des roues (2) situées à l'arrière du siège. D'une manière pratique, les roues sont ajustées en hauteur en fonction de la grandeur de l'enfant (5), pour qu'une simple variation angulaire du bras vers le bas entraîne le décollement des pieds du sol. Cette position extrême est favorable dans le cas ou il faut reposer l'enfant sur son siège pour éviter toute exagération de l'apprentissage de la marche.The stroller, according to Figure 1, comprises a frame (1) equipped with two wheels (2) adjustable in height by knurled button (9) on telescopic tube. This same chassis comprising the seat (6) of the child (5) is held by the attendant (3) by means of an operating arm (4) for driving and assisting the child standing on its legs. It is easy to see that a simple angular variation of the arm controlled from the handle (7) by the attendant causes a variation in the height of the seat (6) relative to the ground, the made of the position of the wheels (2) located at the rear of the seat. In a practical way, the wheels are adjusted in height according to the size of the child (5), so that a simple angular variation of the arm down causes the feet to come off the ground. This extreme position is favorable in the case where it is necessary to rest the child on his seat to avoid any exaggeration of learning to walk.
Le châssis comprend à l'avant une béquille (8) pliable et réglable en longueur par un bouton moleté pour permettre le maintien de la poussette pendant l'extraction ou rintroduction de l'enfant sur son siège (6). Cette même béquille peut être équipée d'une roulette fixe ou orientable. Le châssis (1) suivant les figures 1 et 2 est fabriqué en tubes soudés. La partie supérieure formant un cercle est soudée sur un arceau en forme de U sur lequel sont soudés les équipements d'attache des roues arrières (2), de la béquille avant (8) et du bras de manœuvre (10). Ce dernier peut être placé à l'avant ou à l'arrière de la poussette et verrouillé par un simple bouton moleté après son introduction dans le support d'attache (10) (Fig.3). le réglage de l'inclinaison du bras (4) par rapport au châssis s'effectue grâce à une articulation (11) et un bouton moleté assurant la position angulaire par serrage dans une lumière aménagée sur un secteur circulaire (12).The chassis comprises at the front a crutch (8) foldable and adjustable in length by a knurled button to allow the stroller to be held during the extraction or reintroduction of the child on its seat (6). This same stand can be fitted with a fixed or swivel castor. The frame (1) according to Figures 1 and 2 is made of welded tubes. The upper part forming a circle is welded to a U-shaped arch on which are welded the attachments of the rear wheels (2), the front stand (8) and the maneuvering arm (10). The latter can be placed at the front or rear of the stroller and locked with a simple knurled button after its introduction into the fastening support (10) (Fig.3). the inclination of the arm (4) is adjusted relative to the chassis by means of an articulation (11) and a knurled knob ensuring the angular position by clamping in a light arranged on a circular sector (12).
Le siège (6) dans son ensemble est composé d'une garniture molletonnée fixée sur la structure en tube du châssis (1). Sous le siège (6), et au niveau de l'entrejambe, un coussin gonflable (13) peut être introduit avec un système de ressort (14) (Fig. 4) pour l'assistance à l'élévation de l'enfant qui pousse sur ses jambes pour se relever. The seat (6) as a whole is composed of a padded pad attached to the tube structure of the chassis (1). Under the seat (6), and at the crotch, an airbag (13) can be inserted with a spring system (14) (Fig. 4) to assist in raising the child who pushes on his legs to get up.
