TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a functional feeding cushion, and more particularly, to a functional feeding cushion in which an outer cover to which a fixation band is coupled is used and the outer cover is used while covering a cushion body and as necessary, at least one of a strap, a side cushion, a lower cushion, etc., may be coupled and used.

BACKGROUND ART

Infants are narrow in the throat and short in length of the stomach formed in a cylindrical shape, and a function of the sphincter that prevents a back flow to the throat from the stomach, and as a result, ingested food easily flows back. Further, when the infants suck excessive food or move bodily a lot by a sucking desire, and when feeding, inhalation of air together also becomes a cause of a backflow phenomenon.

When feeding the infant or after feeding, it is possible to prevent backflow and vomiting by keeping the head high by placing a soft object such as a pillow or a blanket on the back part, but even if the infant is tossed and turned a little bit, the infant slides from the pillow or blanket.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0874755 “Cushion for Nursing”, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0439518 “Nursing Cushion for Baby”, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0486654 “Feeding Cushion of Backflow Preventing”, Korea Patent Unexamined Publication No. 10-2020-0005975 “Cushion of Backflow Preventing”, etc., disclose a feeding cushion or backflow preventing cushion developed so as to feed the infant by laying the infant on the body.

However, conventional feeding cushions or backflow preventing cushions are configured to allow a hip to be seated in a groove caved concavely at the center to place a head part of the infant to be higher than the hip and has a problem in that the infant slides while being tossed and turned.

On the other hand, since Korean Patent Unexamined Publication 10-2020-0005975 “Cushion of Backflow Preventing” presents a bunch band for the strip of the infant's body, but has a form to not wholly cover the infant's body but cover the bodies from the top, there is a lack in completely solving the problem in that the infant slides while being tossed and turned.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention provides a functional outer cover 100 for a feeding cushion, which includes: a cover body 110 covered as an outer cover of a feeding cushion for an infant; and a fixation band 120 vertically disposed at the center of a front surface of the cover body 110 on which an infant's body is placed and having upper and lower ends coupled to the cover body 110.

Further, the present invention provides a functional feeding cushion 1000 configured to include: a cushion body 200 formed to have a predetermined length, width, and thickness by charging a cushion material 220 inside an inner cover 210; and the outer cover 100 which is covered as an outer cover of the cushion body 200 together.

The functional feeding cushion 1000 is completely furnished in which the cushion body 200 is covered with the outer cover 100 and hereinafter, a detailed description will be made based on the functional feeding cushion 1000.

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a functional outer cover 100 for a feeding cushion provided by the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a functional feeding cushion 1000 provided by the present invention. FIG. 3 illustrates a process of coupling a strap 300 to the functional feeding cushion 1000 by using a fixation band 120. FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a process of coupling a side cushion 400 to the functional feeding cushion 1000 by using the fixation band 120. FIG. 6 illustrates a process of coupling a lower cushion 500 to the functional feeding cushion 1000 by using the fixation band 120. FIG. 7 illustrates an embodiment of the functional feeding cushion 1000 formed by linking a hip receiving portion 230 and an upper body receiving portion 240. FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment of the function feeding cushion 1000 formed in a left-right symmetrical trapezoidal in which a width of the upper receiving portion 240 decreases upward.

In this specification, based on the time of using the functional feeding cushion 1000 provided by the present invention, a portion where the infant is laid is referred to as a ‘front’, a head of the infant is referred to as an upper portion, a leg is referred to as a lower portion, and each of both arms is referred to as a side. Further, in this specification, the ‘left’ and the ‘right’ are referred to based on a person which sees the drawing.

The cover body 110 may be aligned and sewed to correspond to the size of the cushion body 200 to cover the cushion body 200 and lock a zipper (see FIG. 2). The cushion body 200 is formed to have a predetermined length, width, and thickness by charging a cushion material 220 in an inner cover 210, and is configured to allow a hip to be seated in a groove caved concavely at the center to place a head part of the infant to be higher than the hip to show a backflow preventing function.

Detailed matters regarding the hip receiving portion 230, the upper body receiving portion 240, etc., for the backflow preventing function will be described below.

The fixation band 120 is vertically disposed at the center of a front surface of the cover body 110 and upper and lower ends of the fixation band 120 are coupled to the cover body 110.

As the fixation band 120, a rectangular cotton member which elongates vertically may be applied, and the fixation band 120 may be fixed to the cover body 110 by backstitching the upper and lower ends or the upper and lower ends may be configured to be detachably coupled to the body 110.

The fixation band 120 is configured to be detachably coupled to be adjusted up and down, and left and right of the band. In order to configure a detachable coupling structure of the upper and lower ends of the fixation band 120, a hook and loop strip such as Velcro® tape, a button, a zipper, a magnet, a bundling tie, etc., may be selectively applied.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the functional feeding cushion 1000 provided by the present invention may be configured to further include a strap 300 disposed horizontally by passing under the fixation band 120 of the outer cover 100 and configured to sequentially cover and wrap the infant's body at both sides.

The strap 300 may be configured so that a hook and loop strip 310a and 310b is connected and coupled in a state in which the hook and loop strip 310a and 310b face each other while sequentially covering and wrapping the infant's body at both sides. Specifically, when a surface exposed in a state in which the strap 300 is exposed is referred to as a ‘rear surface’, and a surface exposed when both sides of the strap 300 cover the infant's body is referred to as the ‘front surface’, a loop surface 310a may be coupled to the front surface of a portion first covered on the infant's body and a hook surface 310b may be coupled to the rear surface of a portion covered later.

As a result, in a state in which the strap 300 is stretched while inserted below the fixation band 120, the strap 300 is laid on the fixation band 120 of the infant and one side of the strap 300 is turned inside to cover the infant's body, and as a result, the loop surface 310a is exposed and the other side of the strap 300 is turned inside to connect and couple the hook surface 310b to the loop surface 310a, and as a result, the strap 300 covers the infant in a form to wrap the infant. Therefore, the infant is prevented from sliding down from the function feeding cushion 1000 while tossing and turning.

FIG. 9 illustrates a process of utilizing the fixation band 120 and the strap 300.

When the hook and loop strip 310a and 310b is removed in the attachment state, noise is generated, and as a result, the sleep infant may wake up. Therefore, a detachment portion is formed inside an upper portion of a forming portion of the hook surface 310b to separate the strap 300 by releasing the detachment portion without removing the hook and loop strip 310a and 310b. The detachment portion is detached by the zipper, the magnet, the button, etc., to prevent the noise from being generated during a detachment process.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the functional feeding cushion 1000 provided by the present invention is configured to further include a side cushion 400 configured so that pillows 420a and 420b are coupled to both ends of the connection tie 410 and one-end pillow 420a passes under the fixation band 120 of the outer cover 100 and both-end pillows 420a and 420b support the infant's body at the left and right sides to prevent the infant's body from being inclined to any one side.

The side cushion 400 may be configured so that a hook and loop strip such as Velcro® tape (not illustrated) is connected and coupled while the connection tie 410 wraps and covers the pillows 420a and 420b. Further, the strap 300 may be utilized as the connection tie 410.

FIG. 10 illustrates a process of utilizing the fixation band 120 and the strap 400.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 11, it is possible to put the infant to sleep on his/her side by using the side cushion 400. There is a scheme in which when the infant sleeps on his/her side, the infant falls asleep and when the infant sleeps on his/her side and the infant is turned, there is a sudden risk, and as a result, putting the infant to sleep on his/her side is not recommended. However, a posture of the infant's body is adjusted by both pillows 420a and 420b of the side cushion 400 to safely put the infant to sleep on his/her side.

The functional feeding cushion 1000 provided by the present invention may be configured to further include a lower cushion 500 disposed in and coupled to a lower portion of a front surface of the cushion body 200 covered with the outer cover 100.

The lower cushion 500 is configured to be mounted on the lower portion of the front surface of the cushion body 200 covered with the outer cover 100 to support the lower portion of the infant's hip and prevents the infant from sliding down from the functional feeding cushion 1000 while the infant is tossed and turned together with the strap 300. The lower cushion 500 may selectively or combinatorially apply and couple a means such as the Velcro® tape, the hook, the button, a tie bundle, etc.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a fixation tie 510 may be coupled to both sides of the top of the upper end of the lower cushion 500 and the fixation ties 510 on both sides of the upper end of the lower cushion 500 may be caught on the fixation band 120 while being coupled. Two stranded fixation ties 510 may be tied, knotted, and coupled to each other or coupled by using the button coupled to the end.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the cushion body 200 includes a hip receiving portion 230 sunken to receive an infant's hip, and an upper body receiving portion 240 linked to an upper direction of the hip receiving portion 230, sunken to receive an upper body of the infant, and having an inclined surface of which a height gradually increases from the bottom to the top, and while the infant's body is seated on the hip receiving portion 230 and the upper body receiving portion 240, the head is raised to obtain a backflow preventing function.

More specifically, referring to FIGS. 8, 12 and 13, the upper body receiving portion 240 is sunken from the front surface of the cushion body 200 so that the upper body receiving portion 240 can receive an upper body of the infant. Further, the upper body receiving portion 240 has a predetermined width and a predetermined depth. The predetermined depth decreases gradually towards an upper end of the upper body receiving portion 240, and the predetermined width decreases gradually towards the upper end of the upper body receiving portion while forming a left-right symmetrical trapezoidal shape.

That is, the upper body receiving portion 240 is formed in a left-right symmetrical trapezoidal in which the width decreases upward to serve to keep the infant to lie on the back straightly while the infant's head is not inclined into the upper body receiving portion 240.

Hereinabove, the present invention has been described in detail together with a detailed embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be modified and changed within the scope without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the claims of the present invention include the modifications and changes.
