Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support for a child which can be transformed from a first position in which it truly constitutes a seat to a second position in which it forms a bed.
  • the support comprises an articulated frame supporting a bottom, a covering forming at least partial connection between the bottom and the frame, said frame being constituted by two first parallel beams, by two end arches articulated on said first beams , by two second longitudinal beams parallel and parallel to said first longitudinal beams and articulated on said hoops so that, seen in profile, the whole hoop-beams constitutes a deformable parallelogram from a first position in which the beams and hoops substantially form a frame contained in a plane to a second position in which said arches form with the side members three consecutive planes defining the general shape of a seat; under the rear arch, is suspended by flexible parts of the covering a semi-rigid element which, in the second position is substantially parallel to said longitudinal members to constitute a footrest, while the above covering forms a pocket coupled to the at least to the transverse parts of said arches and comprises a bottom in two parts, a first part of which
  • a first drawback of this known support is that in the bed position, the bottom is neither flat nor rigid, so that the sleeping conditions are not comfortable and risk posing health problems.
  • a second drawback is that in the seat position, the footrest is floating, the stability of the seated child being then poorly ensured.
  • the invention incorporates in this English patent the articulated frame, the bottom supported by this frame and the covering forming at least partial connection between the bottom and the frame, said frame being constituted by two first parallel beams , by two end hoops articulated on said first beams, by two second longitudinal beams parallel and parallel to said first beams and articulated on said hoops so that, seen in profile, the hoop-beam assembly constitutes a deformable parallelogram from a first position in which the longitudinal members and arches substantially form a frame contained in a plane up to a second position in which said arches form with the longitudinal members three consecutive planes defining the general appearance of a seat, while the aforementioned covering forms a pocket coupled at least to the transverse parts of said arches and has a bottom in two parts of which a first part is r igid, attached to the second part and supported by a cross-shaped stirrup harnessed to said frame.
  • the present invention further resides in that at least one of the arches located at the end of the base of the frame is provided with an element which is integral with it and substantially perpendicular to the plane. of the aforementioned frame so that in the second position this element is substantially parallel to said longitudinal members and rigidity by the arch considered to constitute a footrest, and in that the pocket-shaped covering is substantially rectangular and the second part of the bottom is also rigid, these two rigid parts being hinged transversely to one another, the first bottom part being free relative to the covering and the second bottom part being made integral with said pocket.
  • said cross-stirrup is integral with the arch of the base of the frame.
  • the two second side members are joined by a second cross also in the form of a stirrup.
  • This cross-member forms a support for the bottom of the pocket in the basket position or a support leg on the ground for the seat-shaped pocket.
  • a stroller frame known in itself constituted by two side braces 1 and 2 braced comprising for each of them an upright 1a, 2a foldable on the other upright lb, 2b around d 'a hinge 3.
  • This chassis carries a bar 4 by cross which constitutes the support elements of the support according to the invention on the stroller chassis.
  • This support as it is visible in a first variant in Figures 1, 2 and 3 comprises two first beams 10 and 11 which can be fixed by any suitable means (in particular spiral hooks commonly called snail) on the bars 4 above .
  • first beams 10 and 11 On these longitudinal members 10 and 11 are articulated on the one hand a first head hoop 12 around articulations 13a, 13b, and a second hoop 14 of foot around articulations 15a, 15b.
  • a pair of second longitudinal members 16a, 16b is also articulated by points of articulations 17a, 17b and 18a, 18b on the arches 12 and 14.
  • the frame according to the invention View in profile (as in Figures 2 and 3) the frame according to the invention is presented as a parallelogram articulated in 13a, 15a, 17a, 18a. In its first position - Figures 1 and 2 - this frame defines a substantially planar frame, the arches or at least their transverse part and the four beams being substantially located at the same level.
  • the arch 14 is of a shape such that its lateral branches 14a and 14b define with the transverse part of the arch a substantially planar return and practically perpendicular to the plane of the above-mentioned frame.
  • This return referenced 19 in Figure 2 defines the foot wall of the support in its elongated shape and a footrest in its seat shape (Figure 3).
  • a covering 20 consisting of a fabric pocket or other flexible product is placed on the aforementioned frame in particular by fixing to the transverse parts of the arches 12 and 14 and delimits a substantially parallelepipedal nacelle open at the top and provided with a rigid bottom .
  • This bottom is constituted by two parts 21a and 21b, the part 21a a being integral with the pocket 20 while the part 21b is not connected to the pocket. On the other hand, it is articulated to the part 21a along a transverse line 22.
  • the longitudinal members 16a and 16b have been extended with a stirrup cross member 23 whose transverse part is sufficiently distant from the plane of the longitudinal members 16a, 16b to allow the installation of the nacelle.
  • this crosspiece serves as a support for the bottom part 21a.
  • a stirrup cross-member 24 is provided at the front of the frame to support the bottom part 21b.
  • This cross-bracket 24 is integral with the arch 14 and is substantially parallel to the footrest 19. Due to this connection between the cross-bracket 24 and the arch 14 when the nacelle of FIG. 2 is transformed into seat of Figure 3 we see that the cross-bracket 24 pivots relative to the beam 16a and 16b. As it constitutes a fulcrum for the bottom part 21b, it is folded relative to the other along the line 22 and constitutes the seat articulated to the backrest 21a of the support in its position in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 4 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the support according to the invention in which there are the elements already described with the same references.
  • the arch 14, of different shape is devoid of the stirrup cross member 24.
  • the bottom support 21 b is provided by the fabric of the pocket and by a stirrup 26 which is integral with the side members 10 and 11.
  • the articulation of the two parts 21a and 21b is supported by a flexible strap 27 mounted to slide on the side members 16a and 16b.
  • the stirrup 26 remains at the same level and remains a fixed support for the part 21 b above which slides on the stirrup until in the position of the figure. 5.
  • a member not shown of the longitudinal light type can be provided under the part 21 b in which the stirrup 26 is trapped in order to prevent the seat part 21 b from escaping from the stirrup at the end of folding.
  • the arch 12 has a stirrup 28 which is substantially perpendicular to it and which supports the rear end of the part 21a. It also constitutes a member for holding this bottom part 21 a in its position in FIG. 5 by means of lateral loops 29 integral with the bottom and able to slide along the branches of the stirrup 28. These loops guide the bottom when we bring it closer (in 21'a) to the arch 12.
  • FIGS 3 and 5 illustrate a detail of the invention according to which the stirrup 23 connecting the side members 16a, 16b constitutes an element of the seat base, the other element being constituted by the footrest.
  • one of the longitudinal edges of the pocket 20 is shown. It can be seen that it is pleated. In order to give it a certain hold in the seat position of the support, it is advantageous to provide these elastic longitudinal edges so that they gather while retaining a certain stiffness. In the basket position, the stretched elastic edges add to the finish of the covering.
  • the invention is of an extremely simple mechanism. It makes it possible to satisfy the needs in a child's car from the earliest age when the infant has a pram with a rigid flat bottom until the child can do without a car. Therefore the invention is saved only very advantageous.
  • a hood (sketched in Figure 1) which moreover is suitable as well for the pram conformation as for the stroller conformation, a apron, a foot cover ...
  • the invention finds an interesting application in the field of childcare.
