BEST MODE

[0036] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing the front and back of an inner wrapper for infants according to the present invention, respectively.

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the inner wrapper for infants of the present invention includes a body wrapping part 100 that is openable/closable through a zipper 110 provided in the front thereof and a back/head supporting part 200 provided on the upper side of the rear surface of the body wrapping part 100 to support body parts from the head to the waist of an infant. In this case, the back/head supporting part 200 includes a plate-shaped supporting body 210 provided on the upper side of the body wrapping part 100 to support body parts from the head to the waist of an infant, and a donut-shaped head supporting cushion 250 is integrally provided on the front of the upper side of the supporting body 210.

[0039] In this case, the body wrapping part 100 and the back/head supporting part 200 are made of pure cotton fabric to prevent skin irritation on the sensitive skin of an infant.

[0040] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the body wrapping part extracted from the inner wrapper for infants according to the present invention.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 3, the body wrapping part 100 is formed by laminating a front panel 120 and a rear panel 130. In this case, the front panel 120 is divided into two parts, wherein the two parts are symmetrical to each other, and the two parts are joined by the zipper 110 installed at a region where the two parts are in contact with each other. The rear panel 130 has a shape almost identical to that of the front panel 120 and is provided as an integral type. The front and rear panels 120 and 130 are joined by sewing, through a border material 122, the borders of the front and rear panels 120 and 130 except for a semi-circular groove that is a neck position at the upper portion of the front panel 120. In this case, the border of the semi-circular groove 121 that is the neck position of the front panel 120 is also sewn through the separate border material 122.

[0042] In the body wrapping part 100, a pouch shape surrounding the body of an infant may be formed by the front and rear panels 120 and 130. The zipper 110 may be opened, an infant may be placed in the body wrapping part 100, and the zipper 110 may be closed to retain warmth.

[0043] To prevent occurrence of a wound on the hands or face of an infant in a closed state, a cover 111 for covering the zipper 110 at the semi-circular groove 121 that is the neck position of the upper portion of the front panel 120 may be formed. To prevent infant clothes from getting caught in the zipper 110 according to opening and closing of the zipper 110, as shown in FIG. 4, a protector 112 is preferably formed to extend from the end of the cover 111 to the inside of the front panel 120.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, to adjust the length of the body wrapping part 100 by folding the lower side of the body wrapping part 100 according to the height of an infant, the front panel 120 is provided with a pair of Velcro straps 123 and 124 formed on both sides of the central portion and both sides of the lower portion. As shown in FIG. 8, an infant is wrapped with the body wrapping part 100. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower portion of the body wrapping part 100 is folded according to the height of the infant and is attached using the Velcro straps 123 and 124. Accordingly, sagging of the lower portion of the body wrapping part 100 may be prevented.

[0045] A pair of motion preventing bands 131 for gently fastening the body or arms of an infant is sewn together with the border material 122 and is provided on the upper side of the rear panel 130 inside the body wrapping part 100. The motion preventing bands 131 are preferably provided with a pair of Velcro straps 132 and 133 to bind the motion preventing bands 131.

[0046] In addition, a straight opening 138 may be provided at the middle of the rear panel 130 to facilitate smooth ventilation inside of the body wrapping part 100 to prevent sweat from accumulating.

[0047] FIG. 5 is a partially exploded perspective view of the back/head supporting part of the inner wrapper for infants according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the back/head supporting part shown in FIG. 5.

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the back/head supporting part 200 of the present invention includes the supporting body 210 having a pocket 201 formed therein, wherein the pocket 201 is formed by performing sewing so that the top of the supporting body 210 is opened, and a cushion pad 220 inserted into the supporting body 210. The donut-shaped head supporting cushion 250 is integrally formed on the front of the upper side of the supporting body 210.

[0049] The supporting body 210 is provided with a rectangular front plate 211 and a rectangular rear plate 212 each having a length suitable for supporting a portion from the head to the waist of an infant. Sewing is performed so that an opening is formed at the top of the front plate 211 and the rear plate 212.

[0050] In the front plate 211, an outer plate 213 and an inner plate 214 are sewn through a border material 215. In this case, sewing is performed in a state wherein the donut-shaped head supporting cushion 250 for supporting the head of an infant is disposed between the outer and inner plates 213 and 214.

[0051] The rear plate 212 is a single-type fabric, and is formed by sewing through a border material 216.

[0052] In the back/head supporting part 200 having such a configuration, the supporting body 210 is provided by performing sewing in a state wherein the top of the front and rear plates 211 and 212 is opened, and the cushion pad 220 is inserted into the pocket 201 inside the supporting body 210 to obtain the back/head supporting part 200 of a finished product. In addition, a pair of Velcro straps 217 and 218 for preventing the cushion pad 220 inserted into the pocket 201 of the supporting body 210 from escaping from the pocket 201 may be provided on the border materials 215 and 216 that are the open ends of the front and rear plates 211 and 212.

[0053] The cushion pad 220 and the head supporting cushion 250 of the supporting body 210 are formed of a high-density sponge or a synthetic rubber material having elasticity and resilience.

[0054] FIG. 10 shows an exploded perspective view of an inner wrapper for infants according to another embodiment of the present invention, and shows the detachment/attachment means of the body wrapping part and the back/head supporting part 200.

[0055] The detachment/attachment means is provided in the back/head supporting part 200 and the body wrapping part 100 so that the back/head supporting part 200 is detached from the body wrapping part 100 or attached to the body wrapping part 100 as needed. To explain this in more detail, a plurality of snap buttons 130a and 211a is preferably disposed at positions where the rear surface of the body wrapping part 100 and the upper surface of the back/head supporting part 200 are in contact. The snap buttons 130a and 211a have been exemplified as the detachment/attachment means, but other materials such as Velcro straps may be used as the detachment/attachment means.

[0056] The present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, but it should be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the embodiments, but should be determined by the following claims and equivalents to the following claims.
