Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a foldable bed, and more particularly to a foldable bed which is detachably mounted onto a crib.
  • the foldable bed generally is designed to have a shape and structure enabling a user to take care of a baby conveniently and easily.
  • a conventional crib generally has a plurality of top supports, side supports and bottom supports, and a parent is able to place a baby within the crib to let the baby rest.
  • the parent when the parent is trying to change the baby's diaper, the parent has to bend over to pick up the baby resting at the bottom of the crib. Due to differences in height of people, it is sometimes difficult for some users, e.g., senior people or disabled individuals, to bend over and so they may even have to proceed the caring process for a baby on their knees. Therefore, if there is no side door provided to a crib, parents often need to pick the baby up and put it onto another bed to proceed the caring process, which is inconvenient and troublesome. To overcome the aforementioned problems, an inner bed is provided to the crib.
  • the inner bed is composed of a rectangular frame with fabric attached thereto, such that the parent is able to place the baby onto the fabric to proceed the caring process, eliminating the trouble of carrying the baby to another location. Yet, this kind of inner bed which is securely mounted within a crib takes up a large space which is almost the same as the space of the crib itself. When the baby has grown, such that the inner bed is no longer required, storage of the inner bed is not convenient as it is not foldable.
  • FR-A-1 189 011 discloses a foldable bed comprising a main frame with a fabric mat, two lateral frames with fabric mats pivotally connected to one side of the main frame and two retention gratings.
  • the retention gratings are pivotally connected to the head and feet end of the main frame and when set in an upright position serve to hinder that a baby glides from the bed in the longitudinal direction.
  • US-A-2 334 014 discloses a folding bed comprising a main section, a hinged section pivotally connected to the main section that can be fixed in a plurality of tilted positions relative to the main section. Neither the main section nor the hinged section can be folded in itself.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a handy foldable bed with a crib which tends to mitigate and/or obviate the problems previously encountered in the prior art.
  • a foldable bed adapted to be mounted onto a crib comprises a main frame adapted to be detachably mounted onto the crib and having at least one joint securely mounted on one side thereof and a fabric casing securely attached thereto.
  • At least one secondary frame is pivotally connected with said main frame by means of said joint and has at least two U shaped rods.
  • a fabric mat is securely attached thereto.
  • the main frame comprises two couplers pivotally connected thereto for folding said main frame in a mirror image manner.
  • said two U shaped rods are pivotally connected with each other by means of two foldable devices. Therefore, the secondary frame is able to pivot relative to the main frame and the main frame is able to be folded through the couplers to reduce the storage space after the foldable bed is dismounted from the crib.
  • a foldable bed comprising a main frame 10 having a fabric casing 11 securely attached thereto and a secondary frame 40 having a fabric mat 401 securely attached thereto is shown.
  • the main frame 10 has one pair of substantially U shaped and opposingly connected supports 27 which pivotally connect with each other by means of two couplers 20.
  • the coupler 20 is configured to have a first side plate 22, a second side plate 23 and a top plate 21 extending therebetween.
  • the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 are perpendicularly connected with the top plate 21 and extend downwardly, thereby defining therein a first space 24.
  • the first side plate 22 defines therein two opposed cutouts 221, so that, as seen in Fig.
  • a first distal end of a leg 272 of the U shaped support 27 pivotally connected with the coupler 20 has enough room to pivot about the coupler 20 within the space 24.
  • a pair of first connectors 26 are pivotally connected to a second distal end of the pair of the legs 272 of one of the U shaped supports 27.
  • the first connector 26 defines therein a first U shaped recess 261.
  • a pair of second connectors 28 are securely connected on a respective one of another pair of the legs 272.
  • Each second connector 28 is provided with a second U shaped recess 281 and a third U shaped recess 282 reversely disposed to the second recess 281.
  • At least one joint 30 (two are shown in this embodiment) is fixedly mounted thereon for the insertion of a first U-shaped rod 41 of the secondary frame 40.
  • the secondary frame 40 is substantially rectangular in shape and is composed of the first U shaped side rod 41 and a second U shaped rod 42, whereas, the first U shaped rod 41 is pivotally connected with the second U shaped rod 42 to form a rectangle by means of two foldable devices 43. Furthermore, from the phantom line shown in Fig.
  • the secondary frame 40 is able to be securely seated within the third U shaped recess 282 of the second connector 28 after the pivotal movement of the secondary frame 40.
  • a belt 44 is seen to be provided on a face of the fabric mat 401 securely sewed onto the secondary frame 40.
  • the main frame 40 is able to be mounted onto a top frame 51 of a crib 50.
  • the fabric casing 11 extends downward from the main frame 10 into the crib 50 to provide a base for an occupant to be rested thereon, and the base being substantially higher than a base of the crib 50.
  • a bracket 60 mounted onto the top frame 51 defines therein a plurality of receiving spaces 61 for receiving objects, such as a bottle or a cup, thereby facilitating baby's caring process to the parents.
  • the main frame 10 When the foldable bed of the invention is not in use, the main frame 10 is firstly removed from the top frame 51 of the crib 50 through the first U shaped recess 261 of the first connector 26, the second U shaped recess 281 of the second connector 28 and the space 24 of the coupler 20. Afterwards, since both distal ends of the legs 272 are respectively connected with the first connector 26 and the coupler 20, the main frame 20 is able to be folded in a mirror image manner by pressing the couplers 20 in a direction as indicated by arrow B, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • Figure 5 shows that the legs 272 of the main frame 10 are in a folded state.
  • the secondary frame 40 is pivoted and rested on top of the folded main frame 10 by means of the joint 30.
  • the secondary frame 40 is able to be further folded by means of the foldable device 43, as shown in Fig. 7, such that when the foldable bed of the invention is no longer needed, the main frame 10 and the secondary frame 40 are able to be folded to minimize the occupied space as much as possible.
  • the foldable bed for a crib and constructed in accordance with the invention has the following advantages:
