## Abstract

An incubator 1 includes: a transparent hood 3, covering an accommodating space 10 configured to accommodate a baby; an illumination light source 14, disposed so as to avoid disturbing observation of the baby through the transparent hood 3; and an emitting member 13, fixed to the transparent hood 3, and configured to emit light from the illumination light source 14, so as to illuminate the accommodating space 10.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An incubator, comprising:
a transparent hood, covering an accommodating space configured to accommodate a baby;
an illumination light source, disposed so as to avoid disturbing observation of the baby through the transparent hood; and
an emitting member, fixed to the transparent hood, and configured to emit light from the illumination light source, so as to illuminate the accommodating space.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The incubator of claim 1, wherein the emitting member is disposed inside the transparent hood.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The incubator of claim 1, wherein the emitting member is disposed at an upper part of the transparent hood.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The incubator of claim 1, further comprising:
a guiding member, fixed to the transparent hood, and configured to guide the light from the illumination light source to the emitting member.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The incubator of claim 4, wherein the guiding member is disposed at a side part of the transparent hood.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The incubator of claim 4, wherein the guiding member is transparent.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The incubator of claim 1, further comprising a body, disposed under the accommodating space, wherein the illumination light source is fixed to the body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The incubator of claim 1, wherein
