The invention relates to a changing attachment for baby care, in particular for setting up on the edge of a conventional bathtub by means of two stand brackets that can be folded onto the underside of the changing table.

The known changing attachments of this type usually have a changing table, which is provided with a padded plastic cover, and on the underside has legs, supports or stands with which the changing unit - on placed on the edge of the household bathtub - has a working height that allows the caregiver without having to bend down excessively, to carry out the necessary manipulations comfortably. So that the changing unit takes up as little space as possible when not in use and during transport the legs, supports or stirrups are usually attached to the changing table in an articulated manner so that they can be folded up close to them.

In terms of production technology, the known winding attachments are each. ■ * but too lavishly designed and they also allow the sta- ; Bility of the top frame to be desired. ||.

This is where the invention comes in. It is based on the task of creating a Wiekel- ^ f

To create attachment for baby care, in particular for setting up the bathtub rim is suitable, which is simply constructed, can be efficiently produced in series and thanks to an improved frame construction has both a higher strength and stability, as well as a convenient operation and handling allows.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in a changing attachment for baby care of the type described at the beginning with those characterized in claim 1 Means and measures resolved. Appropriate developments and advantageous refinements of the invention are set out in the subclaims marked.

Further details of the new changing attachment are based on the following of an exemplary embodiment described in more detail and shown in the drawing. For the sake of clarity, parts with the same function are provided with the same reference numbers in the figures.

Figure 1 shows the changing attachment according to the invention for baby care in the Side view;

Figure 2 shows the same changing attachment seen from above; Figure 3 shows the changing attachment in the working position seen from the front.

According to Figures 1 to 3, the frame of the new changing attachment is in essentially formed from only three parts, namely from the overhead, horizontally arranged U-frame 1, whose parallel legs la with the help are firmly connected to one another by two floor rails 2, and the two stand brackets 6 articulated on the underside of the floor rails 2. The U-frame 1 and the two stand brackets 6 are expediently bent from metal tubes. The two bottom rails 2 are made of flat material and are firmly connected with their free ends which are bent obliquely upwards to the two opposite U-legs of the U-frame 1, e.g. welded on. On the part of the floor rails that is offset downwards in this way

2, the bottom plate 3 of the changing table 4 shown in dashed lines is attached. The outer dimensions of the base plate 3 are chosen to be slightly smaller than the clear dimensions of the U-frame 1, so that the padded cover 7 of the base plate 3, which is suitably made of soft plastic, and diagonally upwards to around the edge of the U-frame 1 is performed, a sloping protective edge 8 results. At least two bearing clamps 5 are attached to the underside of the floor rails 2 for each stand bracket 6, the fastening screws 12 of which can be used to fasten the base plate 3 at the same time. Both sides of the stand 6 are bent horizontally at their free ends 6a in such a way that they point away from the caregiver who is standing in front of the open side of the changing table. This makes it possible to set up the changing table sufficiently far in front of the edge of the tub so that the baby can be cared for in a comfortable position without the free ends 6a of the stand bars interfering with and restricting the range of motion. In order to give the changing attachment a secure hold on the edge of the bathtub 11, four rubber feet 10 are attached to the free ends 6a of the stand bars so as to be axially displaceable. So that the two stand brackets 6 cannot unintentionally collapse, stops that become effective and automatically operative locking devices are provided in the unfolded working position, for example in the form of buckled struts 9, which can be unlocked against the pressure of a spring and only allow the stand bracket 6 to be intentionally folded together .

As can be clearly seen in FIG. 3, the upper end of the buckling strut 9 is in the pivot bearing 13 and the lower end in the pivot bearing 13a, which cannot be seen in the drawing, which is located on the vertical part of the stand bracket 6 is located, rotatably mounted. If the middle point of articulation is pressed inwards in the direction of arrow A after releasing the locking mechanism, so it is easy to fold the stand 6 in the direction of arrow B on the underside of the changing table 4.
