    Abstract: A wearable child carrier to be worn by a person to carry a child close to his torso includes a hip belt and a child seat with a seat bottom and a backrest. The child carrier includes a pair of suspension beams for transferring a load from the child seat to the hip support. Each suspension beam has a beam body with a proximal beam end being connected to the hip support. Each beam body is connected to the backrest of the child seat. The connection to the backrest is beneficial in that an improved load transfer from the child seat to the hips is obtained. In addition, the beam body may form a leg restraint for the child to provide lateral stability.

  • Patent number: 10722411
    Abstract: An incubator comprises an incubator chamber defined by a bottom part and a top casing covering a bed area of the bottom part. The incubator comprises an air treatment and circulation device for treating air and circulating it through the chamber, said air treatment and circulation device including a ventilator. The air treatment and circulation device is connected to chamber inlet openings which are arranged along one or more sides of said bed area, allowing treated air to flow from the treatment and circulation device into the chamber. The air treatment and circulation device furthermore is connected to at least one chamber outlet opening allowing air to flow out from the chamber to the treatment and circulation device. The air flows in the incubator are routed such that noise is reduced and no high air flow speeds occur near the infant in the incubator.
