Definitions
- the present invention relates to a baby rocking seesaw or a seesaw for toddlers, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- both the rocker frame and the tenter frame are formed from a bent tube.
- the rocker frame is formed in a simple embodiment from a steel tube, which is designed accordingly curved.
- the steel tube has two longitudinal sections which are curved to enable rocking and a transverse section connecting the two longitudinal sections. The two free ends of the tube are bent backwards and upwards in the shape of an arc in the front area of the rocker in the direction of the lower longitudinal sections.
- the clamping frame is subdivided into a backrest frame and a seat frame, which are arranged separately pivotably via at least two releasable couplings at the free ends of the rocker frame.
- the pivotable coupling connection is carried out so that transverse holes are made in the ends of the rocker frame as well as in the free ends of the backrest frame or the seat frame to the longitudinal direction of the rocker, are inserted through the screw bolts, these bearing form-locking elements between the frame .
- the couplings are formed from form-locking elements which can be brought into and out of engagement, each coupling furthermore having a clamping sleeve which can be clamped onto the associated free end of the rocker frame and can thus be plugged in positionally.
- a nut is provided on the outside of the rocker or the rocker frame, which is rotated accordingly to fix or release the form-locking elements.
- the assembly of the rocker is very complex. This is usually done by the dealer, since the rocking jacks are packed in packs of several pieces at the factory, so that they can be sent to the dealer in a space-saving manner. They must then assemble the rocker before selling it.
- the assembly is difficult because the push-through screws must be inserted from the inside through the holes in the individual arm parts, and in addition the form-locking parts, which are components of the couplings, must be placed between the rocker frame and the clamping frame.
- a rocker for toddlers is known from FR-A-2 267 070, in which a one-piece sleeve can be stuck and fixed securely onto the end of the frame
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a seesaw for toddlers of the type mentioned at the outset, the manufacture of which is particularly simple and whose assembly can be carried out quickly and without great manual skill in a simple manner.
- the clamping sleeve is integrally formed and slotted in its longitudinal direction, a particularly simple connection is created between the rocker frame on the one hand and the tenter frame on the other. In particular, there is no need for complex manufacturing work, since any holes in the rocker frame can be omitted. In addition, it is advantageous that the circumference of the clamping sleeve can react elastically to the respective dimension of the free end of the rocker frame.
- the assembly of the rocker is also visibly easy, since the clamping frame is pushed in the simplest way over the respective free end of the rocker frame.
- rocker can be dismantled again in the simplest way, so that here the space-saving stowage or transport of the rocker is also made possible by the end user.
- the rocker according to the invention has a separate backrest frame and a separate seat frame.
- a particular advantage in terms of simple manufacture and assembly results from the formation of the separate couplings for the seat frame and backrest frame on a common clamping sleeve.
- a conventional definition of the coupling parts or the form-fitting parts of the coupling by means of a push-through screw and nut is also possible according to the present invention, since the push-through screw does not intersect with the free end of the back frame.
- an easily accessible eccentric clamping lever is provided on the outside of the clamping sleeve, which is connected to a push-through bolt through the positive locking parts. When the lever is pivoted, an eccentric cam surface causes one form-locking part to move relative to the other, as a result of which both are jammed against one another.
- each coupling has a further clamping sleeve element into which a free frame end of the seat or backrest frame can be inserted, simple manufacture or assembly is again achieved.
- clamping sleeve and / or the clamping sleeve elements and / or the eccentric clamping lever are formed from elastic plastic material.
- the manufacturing effort can be reduced be that a positive locking element of the clamping sleeve and the associated other positive locking element is integrally formed with the clamping sleeve element.
- the resulting reduction in parts not only reduces the manufacturing but also the assembly effort.
- a rocker 1 according to the invention for young children is shown.
- the rocker 1 has a rocker frame 3, which can be of conventional design, for example.
- the rocker frame 3 consists of a bent tube, with lateral longitudinal sections 4 and 5 and a rear transverse section 7, which is formed in one piece with the lateral longitudinal sections 4 and 5.
- the free ends 9 of the rocker frame 3 are bent upwards and then back again, so that they extend essentially above the lateral longitudinal sections 4 and 5.
- the rocker frame 3 is in the area of its lateral longitudinal sections 4 and 5 executed curved, so that this makes a seesaw possible.
- the rocker 1 also has a tensioning frame 11 which serves to tension the cover (not shown) on which the child is placed.
- the tensioning frame 11 is in turn divided into two partial frames, a backrest frame 13 and a seat frame 15.
- the backrest frame 13 is in turn formed from a bent tube which has a U-shape.
- the "U" consequently again has free ends 17.
- the seat frame 15 is formed from a bent tube, which in turn has a U-shape, with additional bends provided in the two legs of the "U".
- the seat frame 15 consequently again has free ends 19.
- Couplings 21 are provided for the articulated mounting of both the seat frame 15 and the backrest frame 13 on the rocker frame 3.
- the couplings 21 have positive locking elements 23, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are designed as toothed disks or toothed disk elements.
- One of the positive locking elements 23 is connected to a clamping sleeve 25, whereas the other positive locking element 23 of the coupling 21 is connected to a clamping sleeve element 27.
- the clamping sleeve element 27 has at its end assigned to the respective frame a bore into which the backrest frame 13 and the seat frame 15 are clamped.
- the couplings 21 are disengaged because the form-locking elements 23 are disengaged. This allows the free adjustment of the both frames 13 and 15.
- an eccentric clamping lever 29 is provided, which is connected to a push-through pin 31 by means of a pin 33.
- the eccentric clamping lever 29 has an eccentric cam 35 which comes into contact with the clamping sleeve 25.
- the positive locking elements are clamped or brought into engagement by rotating the eccentric levers from the open positions d and e into the closed position c and f by approximately 90 ° around the pin 33, the eccentric cam 35 on the clamping sleeve 25 slides.
- the axis of rotation of the pin 33 moves outward through the eccentric, as a result of which the push-through bolt 31 also moves outward. This takes the associated form-locking element 23 with it.
- the eccentric cam 35 is dimensioned so that after the eccentric lever 29 has been flipped over, the form-locking elements 23 are securely engaged.
- the respective frame 13 or 15 is thereby secured in position.
- the clamping frame 11 thus formed is now connected to the rocker frame 3 in that the two clamping sleeves 25 are pushed onto the free ends 9 of the rocker frame 3 in the direction of arrow A.
- the clamping sleeve 25 has a slot running in the longitudinal direction at its lower region (not shown). Furthermore, the clamping sleeve has a stop (not shown) at the rear end, ie the free end 9 of the rocker frame 3 opposite end of the clamping sleeve 25. The clamping sleeve 25 is thus up to the stop on the free end 9 of the Rocker frame 3 plugged onto the rocker frame 3.
- Swing blocking devices 37 and 39 are also provided, which are designed, for example, as curved rods. By pivoting the blocking device from position h to position g, the rocker frame 3 can thus be locked on the ground and rocking can be prevented.
- a rocking rocker for toddlers is created overall, which is simple to manufacture, can be assembled particularly easily, and furthermore enables particularly simple handling of the adjustment mechanism for pivoting the frames 13 and 15 individually from one another.
- the tensioning frame 11 can also be formed from a single frame part, which is in each case attached to the clamping sleeve 25 with a coupling 21, as a result of which the tensioning frame as a whole can be pivoted.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Babyschaukelwippe bzw. eine Wippe für Kleinkinder, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a baby rocking seesaw or a seesaw for toddlers, according to the preamble of
Aus der GB-A-2 213 712 ist eine herkömmliche Schaukelwippe bekannt, die einen Wippenrahmen und einen Spannrahmen zum Spannen eines das Kind aufnehmbaren Bezugs aufweist. In einer einfachen Ausbildung sind sowohl der Wippenrahmen als auch der Spannrahmen aus einem gebogenen Rohr gebildet. Der Wippenrahmen ist in einfacher Ausführungsform aus einem Stahlrohr gebildet, das entsprechend gebogen ausgeführt ist. Das Stahlrohr weist zwei Längsabschnitte auf, die gebogen ausgeführt sind, um ein Wippen zu ermöglichen und einen die beiden Längsabschnitte verbindenden Querabschnitt auf. Die beiden freien Enden des Rohres sind im vorderen Bereich der Wippe bogenförmig in Richtung der unteren Längsabschnitte nach oben und hinten zurückgebogen.From GB-A-2 213 712 a conventional rocker is known which has a rocker frame and a tensioning frame for tensioning a cover which can be received by the child. In a simple embodiment, both the rocker frame and the tenter frame are formed from a bent tube. The rocker frame is formed in a simple embodiment from a steel tube, which is designed accordingly curved. The steel tube has two longitudinal sections which are curved to enable rocking and a transverse section connecting the two longitudinal sections. The two free ends of the tube are bent backwards and upwards in the shape of an arc in the front area of the rocker in the direction of the lower longitudinal sections.
Gemäß dieser bekannten Schaukelwippe ist der Spannrahmen unterteilt in einen Rückenlehnenrahmen und einem Sitzrahmen, welche getrennt schwenkbar über wenigstens zwei lösbare Kupplungen an den freien Enden des Wippenrahmes angeordnet sind. Die schwenkbare Kupplungsverbindung wird dabei so ausgeführt, daß sowohl in den Enden des Wippenrahmens als auch in den freien Enden des Rückenlehnenrahmens bzw. des Sitzrahmens zur Längsrichtung der Wippe quer verlaufende Bohrungen eingebracht sind, durch die Schraubenbolzen gesteckt werden, wobei diese zwischen den Rahmen Formschlußelemente lagern.According to this known rocker, the clamping frame is subdivided into a backrest frame and a seat frame, which are arranged separately pivotably via at least two releasable couplings at the free ends of the rocker frame. The pivotable coupling connection is carried out so that transverse holes are made in the ends of the rocker frame as well as in the free ends of the backrest frame or the seat frame to the longitudinal direction of the rocker, are inserted through the screw bolts, these bearing form-locking elements between the frame .
Die Kupplungen sind aus in und außer Eingriff bringbaren Formschlußelementen gebildet, wobei jede Kupplung weiterhin eine Klemmhülse aufweist, die auf das zugeordnete freie Ende des Wippenrahmens klemmbar und damit lagesicherbar aufsteckbar ausgebildet ist.The couplings are formed from form-locking elements which can be brought into and out of engagement, each coupling furthermore having a clamping sleeve which can be clamped onto the associated free end of the rocker frame and can thus be plugged in positionally.
Zum Festlegen bzw. Lösen der Formschlußelemente, ist an der Außenseite der Wippe bzw. des Wippenrahmens eine Mutter vorgesehen, welche zum Festlegen bzw. Lösen der Formschlußelemente entsprechend gedreht wird.To fix or release the form-locking elements, a nut is provided on the outside of the rocker or the rocker frame, which is rotated accordingly to fix or release the form-locking elements.
Der Aufbau dieser herkömmlichen Schaukelwippe weist jedoch Nachteile auf. Zunächst einmal müssen in alle Rahmenteile Bohrungen mit entsprechender Genauigkeit eingeführt werden, damit eine entsprechend achsrichtige Aufnahme der Schraubenbolzen erfolgen kann.However, the construction of this conventional rocker seesaw has disadvantages. First of all, holes must be made in all frame parts with the appropriate accuracy so that the bolts can be received in a correspondingly axial manner.
Weiterhin ist die Montage der Schaukelwippe sehr aufwendig. Diese erfolgt in der Regel durch den Händler, da die Schaukelwippen werksseitig in Paketen zu mehreren Stücken verpackt werden, um dann platzsparend an die Händler versandt zu werden. Diese müssen anschließend die Wippe vor Verkauf derselben montieren. Die Montage gestaltet sich dabei schwierig, da die Durchsteckschrauben von Innen durch die Bohrungen der einzelnen Armenteile entsprechend durchgesteckt werden müssen, und zusätzlich zwischen dem Wippenrahmen und dem Spannrahmen die Formschlußteile, die Bestandteile der Kupplungen sind, dazwischengebracht werden müssen.Furthermore, the assembly of the rocker is very complex. This is usually done by the dealer, since the rocking jacks are packed in packs of several pieces at the factory, so that they can be sent to the dealer in a space-saving manner. They must then assemble the rocker before selling it. The assembly is difficult because the push-through screws must be inserted from the inside through the holes in the individual arm parts, and in addition the form-locking parts, which are components of the couplings, must be placed between the rocker frame and the clamping frame.
Aus der FR-A-2 267 070 ist eine Wippe für Kleinkinder bekannt, bei der eine einstückige Hülse auf das Ende des Rahmens lagesicher auf gestecht und fixiert werden kann
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Wippe für Kleinkinder, der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, deren Herstellung besonders einfach gestaltet ist und deren Montage schnell und ohne großes handwerkliches Geschick auf einfache Weise erfolgen kann.A rocker for toddlers is known from FR-A-2 267 070, in which a one-piece sleeve can be stuck and fixed securely onto the end of the frame
The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a seesaw for toddlers of the type mentioned at the outset, the manufacture of which is particularly simple and whose assembly can be carried out quickly and without great manual skill in a simple manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of
Dadurch, daß die Klemmhülse einstückig und in ihrer längsrichtung geschlikt ausgebildet ist, wird eine besonders einfache Verbindung zwischen dem Wippenrahmen einerseits und dem Spannrahmen andererseits geschaffen. Insbesondere entfallen aufwendige Herstellungsarbeiten, da jegliche Bohrungen im Wippenrahmen entfallen können. Darüber hinaus ergibt sich vorteilhaft, daß der Umfang der Klemmhülse elastisch auf die jeweilige Abmessung des freien Endes des Wippenrahmens reagieren kann.Characterized in that the clamping sleeve is integrally formed and slotted in its longitudinal direction, a particularly simple connection is created between the rocker frame on the one hand and the tenter frame on the other. In particular, there is no need for complex manufacturing work, since any holes in the rocker frame can be omitted. In addition, it is advantageous that the circumference of the clamping sleeve can react elastically to the respective dimension of the free end of the rocker frame.
Ersichtlich einfach wird auch die Montage der Wippe erreicht, da der Spannrahmen auf einfachste Weise über das jeweilige freie Ende des Wippenrahmens aufgeschoben wird.The assembly of the rocker is also visibly easy, since the clamping frame is pushed in the simplest way over the respective free end of the rocker frame.
Daraus ergibt sich weiterhin der besondere Vorteil, daß die Wippe auf einfachste Weise auch wieder zerlegbar ist, so daß hierbei ein platzsparendes Verstauen bzw. Transportieren der Wippe auch durch den Endverbraucher ermöglicht wird.This also has the particular advantage that the rocker can be dismantled again in the simplest way, so that here the space-saving stowage or transport of the rocker is also made possible by the end user.
In einer besonders komfortablen Ausgestaltung weist die erfindungsgemäße Wippe einen separaten Rückenlehnenrahmen und einen separaten Sitzrahmen auf. So ergibt sich ein besonderer Vorteil hinsichtlich einfacher Herstellung und Montage aus der Ausbildung der separaten Kupplungen für Sitzrahmen und Rückenlehnenrahmen auf einer gemeinsamen Klemmhülse.In a particularly comfortable embodiment, the rocker according to the invention has a separate backrest frame and a separate seat frame. A particular advantage in terms of simple manufacture and assembly results from the formation of the separate couplings for the seat frame and backrest frame on a common clamping sleeve.
Eine herkömmliche Festlegung der Kupplungsteile bzw. der Formschlußteile der Kupplung mittels Durchsteckschraube und Mutter ist auch gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung möglich, da sich die Durchsteckschraube nicht mit dem freien Ende des Rückenrahmens schneidet. Um jedoch eine weiterhin vereinfachte und für die Handhabung verbesserte Festlegung der Formschlußteile zu ermöglichen, ist an der Außenseite der Klemmhülse ein dort leicht zugänglicher Exzenterklemmhebel vorgesehen, der mit einem Durchsteckbolzen durch die Formschlußteile verbunden ist. Beim Schwenken des Hebels bewirkt eine Exzenternockenfläche das Bewegen des einen Formschlußteils gegenüber dem anderen, wodurch beide gegeneinander verklemmt werden.A conventional definition of the coupling parts or the form-fitting parts of the coupling by means of a push-through screw and nut is also possible according to the present invention, since the push-through screw does not intersect with the free end of the back frame. However, in order to enable a further simplified and improved handling of the positive locking parts, an easily accessible eccentric clamping lever is provided on the outside of the clamping sleeve, which is connected to a push-through bolt through the positive locking parts. When the lever is pivoted, an eccentric cam surface causes one form-locking part to move relative to the other, as a result of which both are jammed against one another.
Insbesondere ergibt sich, daß sich aufgrund eines einfachen Schwenkens des Exzenterklemmhebels um ca. 90° eine einfache In- und Außer-Eingriff-Operation durchführen läßt, die zudem sehr schnell erfolgen kann, was bei dem Festschrauben bzw. Lösen einer Mutter bekanntlich nicht der Fall ist. Dies ist deshalb auch wichtig, da die Verstellung auch dann erfolgt, wenn sich das Kind in der Wippe befindet.In particular, it follows that a simple engagement and disengagement operation can be carried out due to a simple pivoting of the eccentric clamping lever by approximately 90 °, which operation can also be carried out very quickly, which is known not to be the case when tightening or loosening a nut is. This is also important because the adjustment takes place even when the child is in the seesaw.
Dadurch, daß jede Kupplung ein weiteres Klemmhülsenelement aufweist, in das ein freies Rahmenende des Sitz- bzw. Rückenlehnenrahmens einsteckbar ist, wird wiederum eine einfache Herstellung bzw. Montage erreicht.Because each coupling has a further clamping sleeve element into which a free frame end of the seat or backrest frame can be inserted, simple manufacture or assembly is again achieved.
Ein Vorteil hinsichtlich einfacher Fertigungstoleranzen und entsprechender guter Anpaßbarkeit der Teile untereinander wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Klemmhülse und/oder die Klemmhülsenelemente und/oder der Exzenterklemmhebel aus elastischem Kunststoffmaterial gebildet sind.An advantage with regard to simple manufacturing tolerances and correspondingly good adaptability of the parts to one another is achieved in that the clamping sleeve and / or the clamping sleeve elements and / or the eccentric clamping lever are formed from elastic plastic material.
Weiterhin kann der Herstellungsaufwand dadurch verringert werden, daß ein Formschlußelement der Klemmhülse und das dazugehörige andere Formschlußelement mit dem Klemmhülsenelement einstückig ausgebildet ist. Durch die dadurch erzielte Teileverringerung verringert sich nicht nur der Herstellungs- sondern auch der Montageaufwand.Furthermore, the manufacturing effort can be reduced be that a positive locking element of the clamping sleeve and the associated other positive locking element is integrally formed with the clamping sleeve element. The resulting reduction in parts not only reduces the manufacturing but also the assembly effort.
Schließlich ergibt sich ein weiterer Vorteil hinsichtlich Fertigungsvereinfachung dadurch, daß die Formschlußelemente, die Klemmhülse und die Klemmhülsenelemente Spritzgußteile sind, wodurch zusätzliche Nacharbeitungen in der Regel gering ausfallen oder ganz entfallen können.Finally, there is a further advantage with regard to simplification of production in that the form-fitting elements, the clamping sleeve and the clamping sleeve elements are injection molded parts, as a result of which additional reworking is generally minor or can be omitted entirely.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung. Darin zeigt:
- Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Wippe in perspektivischer Ansicht, wobei Wippenrahmen und Spannrahmen noch nicht zusammenmontiert sind.
- Fig. 1 shows a rocker according to the invention in a perspective view, the rocker frame and clamping frame are not yet assembled.
In Fig. 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Schaukelwippe 1 für Kleinkinder dargestellt. Die Wippe 1 weist einen Wippenrahmen 3 auf, der beispielsweise herkömmlicher Bauart sein kann. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Wippenrahmen 3 aus einem gebogenen Rohr, mit seitlichen Längsabschnitten 4 und 5 und einem hinteren Querabschnitt 7, der einstückig mit den seitlichen Längsabschnitten 4 und 5 ausgebildet ist. Am vorderen Ende der Wippe 1 sind die freien Enden 9 des Wippenrahmens 3 nach oben und anschließend wieder nach hinten gebogen, so daß sie sich im wesentlichen oberhalb der seitlichen Längsabschnitte 4 und 5 erstrecken. Der Wippenrahmen 3 ist im Bereich seiner seitlichen Längsabschnitte 4 und 5 gebogen ausgeführt, so daß dies ein Wippen möglich macht.In Fig. 1, a
Die erfindungsgemäße Wippe 1 weist weiterhin einen Spannrahmen 11 auf, der zum Spannen des Bezugs (nicht dargestellt) dient, auf den das Kind gelegt wird. Der Spannrahmen 11 ist wiederum in zwei Teilrahmen aufgegliedert, einem Rückenlehnenrahmen 13 und einem Sitzrahmen 15. Im einfachen Falle, wie dargestellt, ist der Rückenlehnenrahmen 13 wiederum aus einem gebogenen Rohr gebildet, das U-Form aufweist. Das "U" weist demzufolge wiederum freie Enden 17 auf.The
Ähnlich ist der Sitzrahmen 15 aus einem gebogenen Rohr gebildet, welches wiederum U-Form aufweist, wobei zusätzlich in den beiden Schenkeln des "U" Knickstellen vorgesehen sind. Der Sitzrahmen 15 weist demzufolge wiederum freie Enden 19 auf.Similarly, the
Zur gelenkigen Lagerung sowohl des Sitzrahmens 15 als auch des Rückenlehnenrahmens 13 am Wippenrahmen 3 sind Kupplungen 21 vorgesehen. Die Kupplungen 21 weisen Formschlußelemente 23 auf, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Zahnscheiben bzw. Zahnscheibenelemente ausgebildet sind. Eines der Formschlußelemente 23 ist mit einer Klemmhülse 25 verbunden, wohingegen das andere Formschlußelement 23 der Kupplung 21 mit einem Klemmhülsenelement 27 verbunden ist. Das Klemmhülsenelement 27 weist an seinem dem jeweiligen Rahmen zugeordneten Ende eine Bohrung auf, in die der Rückenlehnenrahmen 13 bzw. der Sitzrahmen 15 eingeklemmt sind.
Im dargestellten Beispielsfalle sind die Kupplungen 21 außer Eingriff, da die Formschlußelemente 23 außer Eingriff sind. Dies erlaubt die freie Verstellung der beiden Rahmen 13 und 15.In the example shown, the
Zum In-Eingriff-Bringen der Formschlußelemente 23 ist ein Exzenterklemmhebel 29 vorgesehen, der mit einem Durchsteckbolzen 31 mittels eines Zapfens 33 verbunden ist. Der Exzenterklemmhebel 29 weist einen Exzenternocken 35 auf, der in Anlage an die Klemmhülse 25 kommt.To engage the interlocking
Das Klemmen bzw. In-Eingriff-Bringen der Formschlußelemente erfolgt dadurch, daß die Exzenterhebel aus den geöffneten Positionen d und e in die Schließposition c bzw. f um ca. 90° um den Zapfen 33 gedreht werden, wobei der Exzenternocken 35 an der Klemmhülse 25 gleitet. Durch den Exzenter bewegt sich die Drehachse des Zapfens 33 nach außen, wodurch eine Bewegung des Durchsteckbolzens 31 ebenfalls nach außen erfolgt. Dieser nimmt das zugeordnete Formschlußelement 23 mit. Der Exzenternocken 35 ist dabei so dimensioniert, daß nach erfolgtem Umlegen des Exzenterhebels 29 die Formschlußelemente 23 sicher in Eingriff sind. Dadurch wird der jeweilige Rahmen 13 bzw. 15 lagegesichert.The positive locking elements are clamped or brought into engagement by rotating the eccentric levers from the open positions d and e into the closed position c and f by approximately 90 ° around the
Der so gebildete Spannrahmen 11 wird nunmehr mit dem Wippenrahmen 3 dadurch verbunden, daß die beiden Klemmhülsen 25 in Richtung des Pfeiles A auf die freien Enden 9 des Wippenrahmens 3 aufgeschoben werden. Um eine entsprechend gute Klemmwirkung einerseits und eine nicht allzu große Forderung an die Fertigungstoleranz andererseits zu ermöglichen, weist die Klemmhülse 25 an ihrem unteren Bereich (nicht dargestellt) einen in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Schlitz auf. Weiterhin weist die Klemmhülse am hinteren Ende, d.h. dem freien Ende 9 des Wippenrahmens 3 gegenüberliegenden Ende der Klemmhülse 25 einen Anschlag (nicht dargestellt) auf. Die Klemmhülse 25 wird somit bis zum Anschlag über das freie Ende 9 des Wippenrahmens 3 auf den Wipprahmen 3 aufgesteckt.The
Weiterhin sind Schaukelblockiervorrichtungen 37 und 39 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise als gebogene Stangen ausgebildet sind. Durch Verschwenken der Blockiervorrichtung aus der Position h in die Position g kann somit eine Arretierung des Wippenrahmens 3 am Boden erfolgen und ein Schaukeln unterbunden werden.
Somit wird insgesamt eine Schaukelwippe für Kleinkinder geschaffen, die einfach in der Herstellung ist, sich besonders einfach montieren läßt, und weiterhin eine besonders einfache Handhabung des Verstellmechanismus zum Verschwenken der Rahmen 13 und 15 individuell voneinander ermöglicht.Thus, a rocking rocker for toddlers is created overall, which is simple to manufacture, can be assembled particularly easily, and furthermore enables particularly simple handling of the adjustment mechanism for pivoting the
Selbstverständlich kann der Spannrahmen 11 auch aus einem einzigen Rahmenteil gebildet sein, das jeweils mit einer Kupplung 21 an der Klemmhülse 25 angebracht ist, wodurch der Spannrahmen als Ganzes verschwenkbar ist.Of course, the
