Abstract
Description
- The technical field involved in this invention is furniture making, in particular children's furniture and, more particularly still, children's furniture for use at infants' schools or places where a large number of young children are present.
- Nurseries or infants' schools admit children of pre-school age, that is, prior to ordinary schooling, ranging from roughly a few months of age to 4 years or more.
- The smaller children need to sleep several times a day and those from two or three years of age normally do so after lunch. These establishments generally have a space for this purpose where the smaller children have a siesta, whilst the older ones go on with their normal activities.
- Since it is not practical to have a lot of cots available, due to the large amount of space that these would occupy, mattresses placed on the floor have occasionally been used. Mattresses involve the disadvantage that if these are made of or covered with plastic materials they can be unhealthy through not transpiring properly. Mattresses can also be foci for parasites such as fleas, so commonly found at schools, meaning that this solution is not hygienic and thus not desirable.
- As a solution to this problem children's camp beds have been made fitted with roughly triangular shaped legs at each of their corners, with tubes placed between said legs for holding a plastic mesh material. We specifically refer to a bed marketed under MTA or KSM makes or by the firm CWR S.r.1.. These beds are stackable through having a recess at the base of each leg for supporting other similar beds in the interior angle, in accordance with the position of the leg, whilst the joining tubes are held together at an outer zone. This solves the hygiene problem of the mattress, and the space problem involved with the cot, too. There are nevertheless several disadvantages with these beds. First of all there is still a hygiene problem, since after a number of beds are stacked up on others after having been on the floor, part of the dirt goes to a cavity at the bottom of the bed in a zone accessible to the child, this dirt also being very difficult to clean and remove.
- There is also a safety problem with camp beds now existing like the ones that have been mentioned. The tubes on which the mesh is fastened are located farther out than the farthest end of the corresponding legs. Children, who are so prone to standing up in awkward places, can thus rest a foot on the tube with their weight producing sufficient moment to make the bed tilt up on two legs, thus running the risk of receiving a severe blow on the head, since this is the part of the body which is roughly at the same distance as the length of the bed, with the serious and irreversible consequences that such a blow could entail.
- Another serious disadvantage involved with these camp beds is that children can get their feet between the mesh and the leg (the only zones where this is possible, as on the tubes the mesh surrounds these totally) since one part of said leg is left in the air, as has already been shown, through requiring this space for supporting the leg of another bed when being stacked.
- One further disadvantage is that when there is a large number of beds and these are piled up, a transport trolley with wheels becomes necessary for these to be moved about conveniently. Due to the structure of these legs, the trolley must be made with legs different to those of the beds, as these do not have means for incorporating wheels, which could act as transport trolleys.
- This or a very close product is disclosed by US 4958390 which discloses a rest cot assembly having elongated support members arranged to form a frame holding a canvas, being said canvas the resting surface for a child. The elongated members are attached with each other by means of corner pieces, having holes angled 90° to be fitted to the elongated members and having a lower leg and a corresponding hole in the upper part,
- The subject of this invention is a leg of a bed and a camp-type bed made with said legs, which, apart from overcoming all the aforementioned disadvantages, considerably increases the user's safety, apart from reducing production costs.
- In order to illustrate the explanation to follow, this report includes three sheets of drawings, in which four figures represent the essence of this invention, and in which:
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the leg of the bed according to the invention, seen from above in a normal use position;
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the same leg of the bed in which the top part shown matches the bottom one in usage conditions;
- Figure 3 shows a perspective view of part of the bed fitted with the bed leg according to the invention, on which the support mesh is fitted, and
- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a stacked group of beds.
- In accordance with the preferential embodiment described and illustrated herein, said figures display a bed leg which, in a plan view, has an essentially triangular shape, one of whose vertices forms an external angle which matches the corresponding external angle of a bed.
- Even though the leg of the bed of the invention is made in a single piece with no interruptions, different zones can be defined in this. From a top view three zones forming this can be appreciated, namely:
- A
support leg 1, which has a roughly trapezoidal shape, with its largest base convex; acentral body 2 which holds this leg, and anupper body 3 which is partially located over thecentral body 2. - We can thus see that the
central body 2 has an essentially triangular shape, whilst theleg 1 only occupies a part in trapezoidal shape. Theupper body 3 has a thickness of roughly twice that of thecentral body 2, and roughly the same as that ofleg 1. - In the external corner of the upper body 3 a
recess 4 or indentation has been made, with a shape essentially identical to that of the section ofleg 1. The base of this recess, shown as 5, is the support surface for the leg of a possible bed located over this. 6 shows the upper surface of theupper body 3, which will be the only one normally accessible to the child occupying this, and which involves no hygiene problems whatsoever through its position and smoothness. -
Recess 4 made in theupper body 3 has acentral indentation 7, also trapezium-shaped, at whose two ends two projections or wedges 8 are located. - Even when the trapezium shape is not necessary, this particular embodiment has been chosen since it facilitates fitting one bed over the next, at the same time as preventing them from sliding apart.
- Beside
body 3 there is anextension 12 located on theinterior side 10, opposite to theexternal vertex 9, said body forming a prismatic body with rounded edges. - Said
extension 12 has an upper surface slightly below thesurface 6 ofbody 3, but over the visible surface of thecentral body 2. It is intended to have reinforcements on the inside of the support for possibly screwing a mesh securing plate onto this. - The
angles 13 of the bed leg intended to be joined with the corresponding one of the next leg have ahole 14, for housing atube 16 holding themesh 17 which acts as base for supporting the child. - As can be appreciated from figure 3, the mesh practically fully covers the
tubes 16 which join the legs, thus holding said mesh and leaving only the leg zone free.Extension 12, fitted onbody 3, thus acts as a support for the mesh and prevents accidental insertion of a child's arm or leg. - Furthermore, the support for the legs, when these are stacked, is located on the outside, which facilitates cleaning these very much indeed and also means this is out of the immediate reach, or at least difficult to reach for any child using said bed.
- Given the nature of the users of said bed, all the vertices are obviously rounded, meaning that the danger of being hurt by a bed fitted with the legs of the invention is practically non-existent.
- On the other hand, given that
support leg 1 is located over the more external part, it is practically impossible, during its use, for there to be any moment lifting up any part of the bed. - Figure 2 shows us the same leg of the invention, in which other characteristics not appreciated in the other figures can be seen.
- Here we can see how
leg 1 is hollow and has inside it at least oneplate 18 which holds acentral rod 19 in which there is ahole 20. - This hollow body has a cover with the same shape, which has a
surface 21 fitted with a central cutaway so that when the cover is fitted on the leg thehole 20 and thecentral projection 22 are aligned. - This allows a wheel to be fitted on the leg itself, where necessary, with no need to redesign and inject a different part for mobile pulling bases.
- It can be seen that the cover has
ribs 23 for proper adjustment and, to give the part the required elasticity,cuts 24, which prevent any possible breakages, all of this not meaning that the finish cannot be achieved by means of adhesives suitable for to this kind of items. - 25 is the external part of each of the holes of the joining elements seen from the inside of the leg, on which a
support 26 for fitting a screw is placed, to fasten the tube, preferably by going right through it. The support has securingflanges 27. -
Extension 12 optionally has on the inside reinforcements for possibly fixing the mesh from the top by means of a securing plate (not shown). - Finally it can be seen that the interior structure has a number of bracing walls which mean the structure can be given great solidity or rigidity without needing to use great thicknesses of material on the outside.
- The leg can have a clamp, made for example of transparent plastic, essentially of the same shape as the leg, which can contain some kind of label, for example the name of the bed's user.
- The use of the aforementioned leg in furniture other than items for children, such as deck chairs, swimming pool or garden furniture, amongst others, is not outside the scope of the protection requested for this invention, as long as its structure is defined by the characteristics described.
- This item is for use in industrial applications in making children's beds.
