5. surface element

The surface element F consists of one of the above materials and is on the top 12 on the short edges and on the rear long edge with surface-limiting upstands as roll-protection edge for the baby as well as on the underside on all four edges with surface-limiting upstands as stiffening and connecting surfaces. At the bottom of the surface element F are attachment points for the holes on the narrow side 11 the frame element R2.

6. Changing mat / covers

When Accessory to the changing table, a novel changing mat has been developed the ones made of polyethylene foam, a washable, soft and warming filling combines with a skin-friendly, washable cover.

7. curtain / curtain rod

The curtain rod is preferably made of a simple metal or wood rod into which threads have been milled at both ends. After the curtains have been pushed onto the bar, sleeves are screwed onto the threads until the end of the thread until no part of the sleeve protrudes. The curtain rod will now be between the ones on the inside te positioned in the frame element R1 designated place and the two sleeves again unscrewed a piece so that they engage in the appropriate milling on the inside of the frame member R1.

8. Storage / Transport

The Frame elements R1 / R2 and the surface element R are sized so that they can be nested. The plays on the one hand during storage and transport, on the other hand in the Construction of the desk a role. The frame element R1 fits between the upturns of the surface element F, this in turn fits in the frame element R2. With the box elements K1 / K2 together This results in a very narrow package, only about 40 cm storage area in the depth needs.

The Invention will now be described with reference to an embodiment with reference on the attached Drawings described.

The closed side 1 becomes the outer boundary of the resulting furniture and the side with the holes 2 points upwards, as support surface for the element R1. The element K2 is now at right angles to the element K1 with the front side in the alignment line of the closed side 1 established. Here, too, is the closed area 3 directed outwards and the area with the holes 4 upwards, as well as supporting surface for element R1.

The frame R1, which gives the width of the furniture, is placed on the elements K1 and K2 such that an outer side surface coincides with the surface 5 and the area 6 with the area 3 concludes. The holes are located just above the holes of K1 and K2. The compartments for the changing utensils 7 are open to the outside. The connection of the three elements is made by inserting the sleeve nuts from above and tightening with the pan head screws from the inside of the elements.

The frame element R2, which gives the rear side of the furniture, is on its narrow side 10 put the cheek 8th is first on the connector 9 fixed to the open side of the device K2. The frame element R2 now forms the rear support for the winding surface F.

The surface element F is now with the two bearing points on the narrow side 11 the frame member R2 is placed and bolted to the front of the frame member R1, so that the top 13 the frame element R1 a plane with the surface 12 of the element F results and reaches the level of conventional changing pads. Finally, the surface element F is screwed to the frame element R2.

The surface element F now also represents the roof of the playhouse, which can be entered on the open side of children. If now the curtain is mounted and closed, the front side of the playhouse is almost closed. The area 14 the frame element R1 and the top 4 of the box element K2 represent the work surfaces for the children. Here you can cook and sell. On the shelves 15 / 16 the box elements the game utensils can be stored. Above a child can be wrapped while other children play downstairs. The winding utensils are in the compartments 7 accommodated in the frame element R1.

construction of the desk

The frame element R1 is positioned so that the compartments 7 located at the top and the upstand 17 to the back of the finished desk shows. The surface element F is with the side 12 to the top and the side with the upper edge up to the back of the finished desk set on the frame element R1, that match the position of the side holes. The two parts are screwed together using the sleeve nuts and flat head screws. The frame element R2 is now with the stiffening element down to the long side 18 placed and positioned behind the desk surface. Now the desk can be pushed into the frame element R2 until the rear edges are flush and the parts can be screwed together.
