Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des lits pour enfants et plus particulièrement les lits transportables pour enfants.The present invention relates to the field of children's beds and more particularly the transportable beds for children.

On connaît classiquement les lits parapluie, ou encore lits pliants, formant un espace de couchage défini par une surface sensiblement rectangulaire. L'espace de couchage est délimité par des parois souples sensiblement verticales maintenues en place par des montants aux quatre coins de l'espace de couchage. Les montants sont maintenus en place par des tubes croisés à leur base et par quatre tubes reliés aux extrémités supérieures. Ces lits pliants présentent généralement un dispositif de sécurité pour empécher le pliage accidentel du lit.Classically known umbrella beds, or folding beds, forming a sleeping space defined by a substantially rectangular surface. The sleeping space is delimited by substantially vertical flexible walls held in place by uprights at the four corners of the sleeping space. The uprights are held in place by crossed tubes at their base and by four tubes connected to the upper ends. These folding beds generally have a safety device to prevent the accidental folding of the bed.

Toutefois, ces lits pliants sont lourds à transporter, encombrants même pliés, compliqués à mettre en oeuvre et surtout à replier.However, these folding beds are heavy to carry, bulky even folded, complicated to implement and especially to fold.

On connaît également les lits pour bébé, et plus particulièrement des couffins, dont la structure de maintien de l'espace de couchage se présente sous la forme d'arceau.There are also known baby beds, and more particularly baskets, the structure of maintaining the sleeping space is in the form of arch.

Ces lits pour bébé présentent un inconvénient majeur, lorsque l'enfant grandit et veut prendre appui sur la structure, celle-ci s'affaisse et l'enfant peut alors sortir de l'espace de couchage.These beds have a major disadvantage, when the child grows up and wants to take support on the structure, it collapses and the child can then out of the sleeping space.

Le document US 5,809,592 décrit un parc pour enfant comprenant deux boucles flexibles, deux barres de support verticales reliant chacune les boucles entre elles, et une barre horizontale entre deux extrémités d'une même boucle. Ces barres sont fixées aux boucles de manière amovibles. Les barres doivent donc être fixées à chaque installation du parc et retirées après chaque utilisation.The document US 5,809,592 describes a playpen comprising two flexible loops, two vertical support bars each connecting the loops together, and a horizontal bar between two ends of the same loop. These bars are attached to the loops removably. Bars must be attached to each park facility and removed after each use.

Il existe un besoin pour un dispositif d'aire de jeu pour enfants qui soit plus facile à mettre en place et/ou à défaire.There is a need for a child playground device that is easier to set up and / or undo.

Il est proposé un dispositif d'aire pour enfants autodéployable, comprenant une structure en arceau comprenant deux extrémités d'arceau, ladite structure étant agencée de sorte qu'à l'état déployé, lesdites extrémités d'arceau soient dressées et aptes à supporter au moins une paroi en matériau souple définissant un espace pour accueillir un enfant. Pour chaque extrémité d'arceau, au moins deux barres de contrefort permettent de contrer un appui sur cette extrémité d'arceau. Les dispositif peut ainsi être agencé de sorte qu'à l'état déployé, les deux barres permettent d'absorber des efforts d'appui sur l'extrémité d'arceau correspondante. Pour au moins une (et de préférence pour chacune) desdites barres, une seule des deux extrémités de la barre est solidarisée à la structure en arceau par une liaison fixe, en sorte que ladite au moins une barre puisse rester liée à la structure en arceau lorsque ladite structure passe de l'état replié à l'état déployé et/ou inversement.There is provided a self-expanding children's area device, comprising a hoop structure comprising two hoop ends, said structure being arranged such that in the expanded state, said hoop ends are erect and able to withstand less a wall of flexible material defining a space to accommodate a child. For each end of the arch, at least two buttress bars make it possible to counter a support on this end shackle. The device can be arranged so that in the deployed state, the two bars can absorb support forces on the corresponding end of the arch. For at least one (and preferably for each) of said bars, only one of the two ends of the bar is secured to the arch structure by a fixed connection, so that said at least one bar can remain connected to the hoop structure when said structure goes from the folded state to the deployed state and / or vice versa.

Par exemple, l'autre extrémité, dite extrémité libre, peut ainsi être solidarisée à la structure par une liaison réversible. Par exemple, la liaison peut être formée par verrouillage et/ou défaite par déverrouillage, c'est à dire que par exemple l'utilisateur désolidarise l'extrémité libre de la structure en relâchant un élément de verrouillage, ou la liaison peut être plus simplement formée et/ou défaite par déplacement de la barre.For example, the other end, said free end, can thus be secured to the structure by a reversible connection. For example, the connection can be formed by locking and / or defeat by unlocking, that is to say that for example the user disengages the free end of the structure by releasing a locking element, or the connection can be more simply formed and / or defeated by moving the bar.

Avantageusement, l'extrémité libre n'est pas solidarisée au reste de la structure. La barre est donc fixée par une extrémité, l'autre restant libre. On peut par exemple prévoir de doter l'extrémité libre d'un revêtement non glissant de type caoutchouc afin d'assurer une bonne prise avec le sol ou autre.Advantageously, the free end is not secured to the rest of the structure. The bar is fixed by one end, the other remaining free. For example, it is possible to provide the free end with a non-slip coating of the rubber type in order to ensure a good grip with the ground or the like.

Ainsi, grâce à la fixation d'une extrémité et au caractère réversible de la (ou à l'absence de) fixation de l'autre extrémité de la barre à la structure en arceau, la mise en place et/ou le rangement du dispositif est facilité. La barre peut en quelques sortes suivre la structure en arceau lorsque cette dernière passe de l'état déployé à l'état replié et/ou inversement, ce qui permet d'éviter des étapes de positionnement de l'ensemble de la barre lors de l'installation du dispositif, et de retrait de la barre lors du rangement.Thus, thanks to the attachment of one end and the reversible nature of the (or the absence of) fixing of the other end of the bar to the arch structure, the establishment and / or storage of the device is easy. The bar can in some ways follow the arch structure when the latter moves from the deployed state to the folded state and / or vice versa, which avoids steps of positioning the entire bar during the installation. installation of the device, and removal of the bar during storage.

Par « autodéployable » on entend que le dispositif est apte à être plié, notamment pour son rangement et/ou son transport, mais que sa position d'équilibre en l'absence de contrainte est l'état déployé.By "self-deployable" is meant that the device is able to be folded, in particular for storage and / or transport, but that its equilibrium position in the absence of stress is the deployed state.

La présence de deux barres de contrefort à chaque extrémité d'arceau permet de conférer une résistance relativement élevée à l'appui.The presence of two buttress bars at each end of the arch allows to confer a relatively high resistance to the support.

La liaison fixe solidarisant l'extrémité dite non libre de la barre à la structure est normalement conçue pour que l'utilisateur soit incapable de défaire cette liaison dans des conditions normales d'utilisation. On peut éventuellement prévoir une liaison susceptible d'être occasionnellement défaite, par exemple pour permettre une réparation ou un changement de pièces, pourvu que le dispositif soit agencé de sorte que lors du déploiement et/ou du repliement la barre de contrefort puisse rester solidarisée à la structure en arceau. Le dispositif est ainsi agencé de sorte que la barre ne constitue pas un obstacle au déploiement et/ou au repliement de la structure. La présence de barre de contrefort est donc moins contraignante pour l'utilisateur lors du déploiement et/ou du repliement du dispositif que dans l'art antérieur.The fixed link solidarisant the so-called non-free end of the bar to the structure is normally designed so that the user is unable to undo this link under normal conditions use. It may optionally provide a connection may be occasionally defeated, for example to allow a repair or a change of parts, provided that the device is arranged so that during deployment and / or folding the buttress bar can remain secured to the arch structure. The device is thus arranged so that the bar does not constitute an obstacle to the deployment and / or folding of the structure. The presence of buttress bar is therefore less restrictive for the user when deploying and / or folding the device than in the prior art.

L'appui que la barre peut permettre de contrer peut par exemple être le fait d'un enfant qui souhaite sortir de l'espace qui lui est dédié en faisant basculer le dispositif.The support that the bar can help counter can for example be the fact of a child who wants to get out of the space dedicated to him by tilting the device.

A l'état déployé, la barre permet de rigidifier la structure en jouant notamment un rôle de contrefort, et peut permettre de contrer un appui sur la structure en arceau grâce à une mise en butée contre un élément de sol. L'élément de sol peut par exemple être le sol lui-même, une boucle de base destinée à être disposée sur le sol, une paroi en matériau souple supportée par la boucle de base, ou autre.In the deployed state, the bar makes it possible to stiffen the structure by playing in particular a role of buttress, and can make it possible to counter a support on the arch structure thanks to an abutment against a ground element. The floor element may for example be the floor itself, a base loop to be placed on the floor, a wall of flexible material supported by the base loop, or the like.

La barre peut être en contact avec l'élément de sol de façon permanente ou quasi-permanente lorsque le dispositif est à l'état déployé, ou bien encore seulement en cas d'appui. Dans le deuxième cas, on peut prévoir qu'en l'absence d'appui, l'extrémité libre de la barre soit à quelques centimètres de l'élément de sol.The bar may be in contact with the ground element permanently or almost permanently when the device is in the deployed state, or even only in case of support. In the second case, it can be provided that in the absence of support, the free end of the bar is a few centimeters from the floor element.

Le dispositif décrit ci-dessus peut en outre être dénué de points extérieurs, comme de sardines par exemple, comme on peut en trouver dans une tente ou un hamac.The device described above may also be devoid of external points, such as sardines for example, as can be found in a tent or a hammock.

L'extrémité libre peut par exemple être solidarisée par une liaison réversible directement à un ou plusieurs arceau(x) de la structure en arceau, par exemple une boucle de base destinée à reposer entièrement sur le sol, ou bien encore à une paroi en matériau souple supportée par un ou plusieurs arceaux, par exemple, une paroi en matériau souple supportée par la boucle de base, ou bien une paroi en matériau souple dressée à l'état déployée, supportée par un arceau dressé à l'état déployé.The free end may for example be secured by a reversible connection directly to one or more hoop (x) of the arch structure, for example a base loop intended to rest entirely on the ground, or even to a wall of material flexible support supported by one or more arches, for example, a wall of flexible material supported by the base loop, or a wall of flexible material raised in the deployed state, supported by a rolled bar in the expanded state.

Dans le cas d'une désolidarisation de l'extrémité libre de la structure par déplacement de la barre, ce déplacement peut être le fait d'un utilisateur à des fins de repliement du dispositif, ou bien la barre peut se défaire d'elle-même en l'absence d'appui et rester à l'état libre par exemple à quelques centimètres de tout élément de sol. Lorsque le déplacement est le fait d'un utilisateur, le dispositif peut être agencé de sorte que l'utilisateur tire expressément la barre afin de défaire la liaison entre l'extrémité libre et la structure en arceau. Alternativement, le dispositif peut être agencé de sorte que la barre soit entraînée par le reste de la structure lors du repliement, ce qui peut permettre d'éviter un geste utilisateur dédié à la barre de contrefort.In the case of a separation of the free end of the structure by displacement of the bar, this displacement can be the fact a user for folding the device, or the bar can be undone in the absence of support and remain in the free state for example a few centimeters from any soil element. When the displacement is done by a user, the device can be arranged so that the user expressly draws the bar to undo the connection between the free end and the arch structure. Alternatively, the device can be arranged so that the bar is driven by the rest of the structure during folding, which can avoid a user gesture dedicated to the buttress bar.

De la même façon, lorsque l'extrémité libre est solidarisée à la structure par un déplacement de la barre, ce déplacement peut être expressément le fait d'un utilisateur, ou bien être entraîné par les mouvements de la structure en arceau en cours de déploiement. Et dans le cas où la barre reste à une certaine distance de l'élément de sol en l'absence d'appui, la solidarisation peut n'avoir lieu qu'en cas d'appui de par exemple un enfant.In the same way, when the free end is secured to the structure by a displacement of the bar, this displacement can be expressly the fact of a user, or be driven by the movements of the arch structure being deployed . And in the case where the bar remains at a distance from the floor element in the absence of support, the fastening may take place only in case of support of for example a child.

Avantageusement, le dispositif peut comprendre des moyens de guidage pour guider l'extrémité libre de la barre lorsque le dispositif passe de l'état déployé à l'état replié et/ou inversement. Ces moyens de guidage peuvent permettre de s'assurer du bon positionnement de la barre de contrefort, et limiter en conséquence les gestes utilisateursAdvantageously, the device may comprise guide means for guiding the free end of the bar when the device moves from the deployed state to the folded state and / or vice versa. These guide means can make it possible to ensure the correct positioning of the buttress bar, and consequently to limit user gestures.

Les moyens de guidage peuvent être réalisés par exemple en matériau souple, permettant ainsi de limiter le poids du dispositif. Ces moyens de guidage peuvent par exemple comprendre un fourreau en en matériau souple cousu à une paroi en matériau souple du dispositif, par exemple une paroi verticale.The guide means may be made for example of flexible material, thereby limiting the weight of the device. These guide means may for example comprise a sleeve made of flexible material sewn to a flexible material wall of the device, for example a vertical wall.

L'invention n'est en rien limitée à des moyens de guidage en matériau souple. On peut par exemple prévoir un guidage de la barre dans un élément cylindrique en plastique ou en métal.The invention is in no way limited to guide means of flexible material. One can for example provide guidance of the bar in a cylindrical element of plastic or metal.

Avantageusement, le dispositif peut être agencé de façon à définir au moins un logement pour recevoir l'extrémité libre de la barre en position déployée. Un tel logement, débouchant sur un ou deux côtés, peut permettre de s'assurer du bon positionnement de la barre en position déployée. Ce logement peut par exemple être formé par un oeillet dans la paroi en matériau souple au sol, supportée par la boucle de base, ou bien formé par un évidemment, une boutonnière ou autre, dans la boucle de base, ou bien encore formé dans une paroi en matériau souple dressée, ou autre. L'oeillet peut avoir des bords en matériau souple ou rigide.Advantageously, the device may be arranged to define at least one housing for receiving the free end of the bar in the deployed position. Such housing, opening on one or two sides, can ensure the correct positioning of the bar in the deployed position. This housing may for example be formed by an eyelet in the wall of flexible material on the ground, supported by the base loop, or formed by a recess, a buttonhole or the like, in the base loop, or else formed in a wall in erect flexible material, or other. The eyelet may have edges of flexible or rigid material.

Le logement peut comprendre un oeillet, de sorte que la structure est relativement simple, mais l'invention n'est en rien limitée aux logements de ce type. En particulier, le logement peut être formé par des parois de guidage relativement hautes, par exemple de plus de 2, 5 ou 10 centimètres, aptes à recouvrir une portion de la barre de contrefort. Un tel logement peut être formé en matériau souple : on peut par exemple prévoir une poche en toile cousue à une paroi en matériau souple dressée, et disposée de sorte que le fond de la poche atteigne un élément de sol en cas d'appui. Alternativement, ce logement peut être en un matériau rigide : on peut par exemple prévoir un élément cylindrique, en métal ou en plastique, dont la base est fixée à un arceau de base destiné à reposer entièrement sur le sol, et dont le diamètre intérieur est légèrement supérieur à un diamètre de la barre de contrefort, afin que cette barre puisse être reçue dans l'élément cylindrique.The housing may include an eyelet, so that the structure is relatively simple, but the invention is in no way limited to housing of this type. In particular, the housing may be formed by relatively high guiding walls, for example of more than 2, 5 or 10 centimeters, capable of covering a portion of the buttress bar. Such a housing may be formed of flexible material: one can for example provide a cloth bag sewn to a wall of flexible material erect, and arranged so that the bottom of the pocket reaches a floor element in case of support. Alternatively, this housing may be made of a rigid material: one can for example provide a cylindrical element, made of metal or plastic, whose base is fixed to a base hoop intended to rest entirely on the ground, and whose inner diameter is slightly greater than a diameter of the buttress bar, so that this bar can be received in the cylindrical element.

Avantageusement, la structure en arceau peut être maintenue en position déployée par au moins un moyen de maintien en extension apte à contrer des efforts tendant à écarter des éléments de la structure. Le moyen de maintien en extension peut permettre notamment de contrer les efforts de la structure. La structure peut en effet avoir tendance à s'ouvrir naturellement de part sa conformation. Les efforts peuvent aussi être le fait d'une personne qui chercherait à pousser les éléments de la structure hors de l'espace pour enfant, comme par exemple un enfant à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de cet espace.Advantageously, the arch structure can be maintained in the deployed position by at least one extension holding means adapted to counter efforts tending to separate elements of the structure. The means of maintaining extension can in particular to counter the efforts of the structure. The structure may have a tendency to open naturally due to its conformation. Efforts can also be made by someone trying to push the elements of the structure out of the child's space, such as a child inside or outside that space.

En particulier, le moyen de maintien en extension peut comprendre au moins la paroi en matériau souple apte à retenir la structure. La paroi en matériau souple peut être associée à une sangle pour consolider l'ensemble.In particular, the extension holding means may comprise at least the wall of flexible material capable of retaining the structure. The wall of flexible material may be associated with a strap to consolidate the assembly.

L'invention n'est pas limitée par la forme de la structure en arceau mise en oeuvre.The invention is not limited by the shape of the arch structure used.

Avantageusement, la structure en arceau peut comprendre au moins un premier arceau formant une boucle de base apte à reposer sur le sol et au moins un deuxième arceau dressé, en position déployée, dont la vue de face présente sensiblement une forme de U, le deuxième arceau étant apte à supporter au moins la paroi en matériau souple.Advantageously, the arch structure may comprise at least a first hoop forming a base loop able to rest on the ground and at least a second upright hoop, in the deployed position, whose front view has substantially a U shape, the second hoop being able to support at least the wall of flexible material.

En particulier, on peut prévoir deux couples de barres de contrefort solidarisées respectivement à proximité des deux points hauts du deuxième arceau.In particular, it is possible to provide two pairs of reinforcing bars secured respectively close to the two high points of the second arch.

Avantageusement, à l'état déployé, l'espace pour accueillir un enfant est délimité par une ou plusieurs paroi(s) sensiblement verticale(s) par rapport au sol et/ou par rapport à la boucle de base. Par « sensiblement », on entend une déviation inférieure ou égale à 10%, et avantageusement inférieure ou égale à 5%.Advantageously, in the deployed state, the space for a child is delimited by one or more wall (s) substantially vertical (s) relative to the ground and / or relative to the base loop. By "substantially" is meant a deviation less than or equal to 10%, and advantageously less than or equal to 5%.

L'espace pour enfant peut par exemple être circonscrit entre quatre parois sensiblement verticales et un fond, le coté opposé au fond restant ouvert ou éventuellement refermé par exemple par une moustiquaire.The child space may for example be circumscribed between four substantially vertical walls and a bottom, the opposite side to the bottom remaining open or possibly closed for example by a mosquito net.

Les arceaux peuvent être arrondis sur toute leur longueur, comme illustré par les figures décrites ci-après, ou non.The arches may be rounded over their entire length, as illustrated by the figures described below, or not.

Par exemple, on pourra prévoir des arceaux avec des parties arrondies et des parties rectilignes, notamment au niveau des extrémités d'arceau de l'arceau dressé.For example, we can provide arches with rounded portions and straight portions, especially at the ends of the arch of the upright bow.

Ainsi, on peut par exemple prévoir que l'arceau dressé ait une forme telle que les parties rectilignes soient sensiblement à la même hauteur que le rebord supérieur des parois latérales (référencé 700 sur la figure 1 décrite ci-après) lorsque le lit est déployé. Le pourtour supérieur du lit est alors plan ou sensiblement plan, par exemple à forme de rectangle, comme dans un lit parapluie classique.Thus, it is possible, for example, to provide that the erected arch has a shape such that the rectilinear parts are substantially at the same height as the upper edge of the side walls (referenced 700 on the figure 1 described below) when the bed is deployed. The upper perimeter of the bed is then plane or substantially flat, for example rectangle-shaped, as in a conventional umbrella bed.

Le dispositif peut comprendre un lit pour enfant, et l'espace peut être un espace de couchage. L'espace de couchage peut être conformé de façon à autoriser l'installation d'un matelas à faces sensiblement rectangulaires.The device may include a child's bed, and the space may be a sleeping space. The sleeping space can be shaped to allow the installation of a mattress with substantially rectangular faces.

Alternativement, on pourrait prévoir que le dispositif soit un parc pour enfant, et que l'espace soit un espace de jeu.Alternatively, one could predict that the device is a park for children, and that the space is a playground.

Il est en outre proposé un dispositif pour enfant autodéployable, avec une structure en arceau apte à supporter en position déployée au moins une paroi en matériau souple définissant un espace d'accueil. Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte un moyen de renforcement de paroi en matériau souple pour contrer un appui sur cette paroi. L'enfant peut en effet chercher à sortir de l'espace qui lui est dédié en enjambant la paroi par exemple, et ce moyen de renforcement peut permettre de rigidifier la paroi et de limiter l'affaissement, notamment lorsque le matériau souple a vieilli.It is further proposed a child self-deployable device, with a hoop structure adapted to support in the deployed position at least one wall of flexible material defining a reception space. Advantageously, the device comprises a wall reinforcement means of flexible material to counter a support on this wall. The child can indeed seek to leave the space dedicated to him in spanning the wall, for example, and this reinforcing means can make it possible to stiffen the wall and to limit sagging, especially when the flexible material has aged.

Ce moyen peut avantageusement comprendre une ou plusieurs barres solidarisées à la paroi. On peut par exemple prévoir une barre de renforcement sensiblement horizontale lorsque le dispositif est déployé, disposée à proximité d'un bord supérieur de la paroi, et au moins une, avantageusement deux barres de renforcement sensiblement verticales, disposées de façon à venir en butée d'une part avec la barre sensiblement horizontale et d'autre part avec un élément de sol en cas d'appui sur la barre sensiblement horizontale. Le moyen de renforcement peut ainsi être mis en place de façon relativement simple, sans modifier le matériau souple lui-même.This means may advantageously comprise one or more bars secured to the wall. For example, it is possible to provide a substantially horizontal reinforcement bar when the device is deployed, disposed near an upper edge of the wall, and at least one, advantageously two substantially vertical reinforcement bars, arranged to abut partly with the bar substantially horizontal and secondly with a ground element in case of support on the substantially horizontal bar. The reinforcement means can thus be implemented in a relatively simple manner, without modifying the flexible material itself.

La présence de deux barres de renforcement ou davantage peut permettre de rendre la structure plus résistante à l'affaissement.The presence of two or more reinforcing bars can make the structure more resistant to sagging.

Avantageusement, la ou les barres du moyen de renforcement ont une longueur inférieure ou égale à la dimension maximale du dispositif à l'état replié. Ainsi, si cette ou ces barres sont disposées judicieusement, le passage de l'état déployé vers l'état replié et/ou inversement peut se faire sans étape dédiée au moyen de renforcement, du type fixation de barre ou autre.Advantageously, the bar or bars of the reinforcing means have a length less than or equal to the maximum dimension of the device in the folded state. Thus, if this or these bars are judiciously disposed, the transition from the deployed state to the folded state and / or vice versa can be done without a step dedicated to the reinforcing means, of the bar fixing type or the like.

La structure déployable ainsi définie est plus légère qu'un lit pliant traditionnel et assure également un meilleur maintien qu'un couffin en cas d'appui de l'enfant.The deployable structure thus defined is lighter than a traditional folding bed and also provides better support than a bassinet in case of support of the child.

Il est en outre proposé un dispositif pour enfant autodéployable, avec une structure en arceau apte à supporter en position déployée au moins une paroi en matériau souple définissant un espace d'accueil. Le dispositif peut avantageusement comprendre en outre au moins une barre supplémentaire, et avantageusement deux barres supplémentaires disposées sur deux cotés opposés et respectifs de l'espace pour enfant. Cette ou ces barre(s) supplémentaire(s) peuvent être disposées obliques lorsque le dispositif est à l'état déployé, c'est à dire formant un angle non nul avec la paroi verticale, et de façon à pouvoir contrer un appui avec une composante horizontale sur la paroi.It is further proposed a child self-deployable device, with a hoop structure adapted to support in the deployed position at least one wall of flexible material defining a reception space. The device may advantageously further comprise at least one additional bar, and advantageously two additional bars disposed on two opposite and respective sides of the child space. This or these additional bar (s) may be arranged oblique when the device is in the deployed state, that is to say forming a non-zero angle with the vertical wall, and so as to be able to counter a support with a horizontal component on the wall.

Avantageusement, pour au moins une barre supplémentaire, cette barre s'étend entre la barre sensiblement horizontale du moyen de renforcement et un élément de sol, avantageusement la jonction entre les deux arceaux au sol.Advantageously, for at least one additional bar, this bar extends between the substantially horizontal bar of the means of reinforcement and a soil element, preferably the junction between the two arches on the ground.

Cette ou ces barres supplémentaires peuvent ainsi permettre d'empêcher le basculement de la structure.This or these additional bars can thus prevent the tilting of the structure.

Il est possible que la paroi en matériau souple délimite un deuxième espace de couchage, par exemple pour un deuxième enfant, voire davantage.It is possible that the wall of flexible material delimits a second sleeping space, for example for a second child, or more.

Il est en outre proposé un dispositif pour enfant, par exemple un lit pour enfant ou autre, définissant un espace pour accueillir un enfant et comprenant un fond de cet espace d'accueil comportant deux parois en matériau souple superposées, ledit fond étant agencé de façon à pouvoir recevoir un matelas entre lesdites parois. Les parois superposées peuvent définir une poche apte à recevoir un matelas.It is further proposed a child device, for example a child's bed or the like, defining a space for a child and comprising a bottom of this reception space comprising two walls of flexible material superimposed, said bottom being arranged so to be able to receive a mattress between said walls. The superimposed walls can define a pocket adapted to receive a mattress.

Ainsi le dispositif définit un logement pour recevoir un matelas. Un tel double fond permet de satisfaire aux exigences normatives quant à la fixation du matelas sans utilisation des moyens de fixation spécifiques du type bandes auto-agrippantes dites bandes Velcro®. Le matelas est simplement maintenu entre les deux parois en matériau souple.Thus the device defines a housing for receiving a mattress. Such a double bottom makes it possible to satisfy the normative requirements as regards the fixing of the mattress without the use of the specific fastening means of the Velcro ® type Velcro ® strips. The mattress is simply held between the two walls of flexible material.

L'installation est d'autant plus simple qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir une housse pour le matelas.The installation is even easier than it is not necessary to provide a cover for the mattress.

Avantageusement, les deux parois sont solidarisées l'une à l'autre sur au moins une partie de leur pourtour, par exemple par une couture ou bien encore par des bandes Velcro® ou autre.Advantageously, the two walls are secured to one another on at least a portion of their periphery, for example by a seam or else by Velcro ® or other strips.

La poche ainsi définie peut avoir une ouverture pour l'insertion du matelas, coté sol ou coté espace de couchage. On peut prévoir des moyens de fermeture temporaire de cette ouverture, par exemple des bandes Velcro® ou autre, ou non.The pocket thus defined may have an opening for the insertion of the mattress, ground side or side sleeping space. There may be means for temporarily closing this opening, for example Velcro ® or other strips, or not.

En disposant l'ouverture coté sol, on facilite encore l'installation du matelas puisque l'utilisateur n'auras pas à manipuler le matelas dans l'espace de couchage.Having the opening on the ground side, it further facilitates the installation of the mattress since the user will not have to manipulate the mattress in the sleeping space.

Avantageusement, l'une des parois définit, éventuellement avec l'autre paroi, une ouverture pour l'insertion d'un matelas par cette ouverture. Le fond est ainsi de conception relativement simple.Advantageously, one of the walls defines, optionally with the other wall, an opening for the insertion of a mattress through this opening. The bottom is thus of relatively simple design.

Avantageusement et de façon non limitative, c'est la paroi coté sol qui comporte cette ouverture pour l'insertion d'un matelas. Ceci permet d'avoir une installation plus facile encore.Advantageously and in a nonlimiting manner, it is the wall on the ground side which includes this opening for the insertion of a mattress. This allows for easier installation.

Avantageusement et de façon non limitative, l'une des deux parois du fond a des dimensions inférieures à celle de l'autre de ces parois. On peut ainsi économiser du matériau souple, par exemple du tissus, et prévoir une forme adaptée à celle du matelas afin de prévenir les glissements du matelas dans l'espace entre les parois.Advantageously and without limitation, one of the two walls of the bottom has dimensions smaller than that of the other of these walls. It is thus possible to save flexible material, for example fabric, and to provide a shape adapted to that of the mattress to prevent slippage of the mattress in the space between the walls.

On peut par exemple prévoir un fond comportant une première paroi et une deuxième paroi de dimensions inférieures à la première paroi, de forme par exemple rectangulaire, et fixée à la première paroi, sur le dessous de cette première paroi, par des coutures sur trois des quatre cotés du rectangle. Le quatrième coté correspond à l'ouverture pour l'insertion du matelas dans la poche formée entre la première et la deuxième paroi.For example, it is possible to provide a bottom comprising a first wall and a second wall of smaller dimensions than the first wall, of rectangular shape for example, and fixed to the first wall, on the underside of this first wall, by seams on three of the four sides of the rectangle. The fourth side corresponds to the opening for the insertion of the mattress in the pocket formed between the first and the second wall.

Le patron correspondant à la première et/ou deuxième paroi peu(ven)t avoir des bords afin de s'ajuster à un matelas relativement épais.The pattern corresponding to the first and / or second wall may have edges to fit a relatively thick mattress.

On pourrait aussi prévoir une deuxième paroi, coté sol, relativement étendue, et dans laquelle est taillée une ouverture pour l'insertion d'un matelas. La première paroi peut alors être de dimensions correspondant à celles du matelas, ou non.It could also provide a second wall, ground side, relatively large, and in which is cut an opening for the insertion of a mattress. The first wall may then be of dimensions corresponding to those of the mattress, or not.

Il est en outre proposé un dispositif pour enfant, par exemple un lit pour enfant ou autre, définissant un espace pour accueillir un enfant et comprenant un élément en matériau souple apte à recouvrir au moins une partie du fond de l'espace pour accueillir un enfant et apte à être détaché du dispositif.There is further provided a child device, for example a child's bed or the like, defining a space for a child and comprising an element of flexible material capable of covering at least a portion of the bottom of the space to accommodate a child and able to be detached from the device.

Cet élément détachable en matériau souple peut par exemple comprendre un molleton, ou bien une portion de drap, ou autre. Cet élément peut ainsi être retiré afin d'être lavé.This detachable element of flexible material may for example comprise a fleece, or a sheet portion, or the like. This element can be removed for washing.

Cet élément détachable peut s'étendre sur au moins une partie du fond. On pourra prévoir des moyens de fixation amovible du type bandes Velcro®, boutons pressions, fermeture éclair, ou autre pour assurer la fixation temporaire de l'élément détachable au reste du dispositif.This detachable element can extend over at least a portion of the bottom. It may provide removable fastening means of the Velcro ® type strips, snaps, zipper, or other to ensure the temporary attachment of the detachable element to the rest of the device.

Cet élément détachable peut être fixé à une paroi de fond pleine ou bien définissant une ouverture sous l'élément détachable.This detachable element can be attached to a solid bottom wall or defines an opening under the detachable element.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré le fond comporte à la fois une ouverture coté sol pour l'insertion d'un matelas et un élément détachable coté espace de couchage. Néanmoins, on pourrait prévoir une insertion du matelas après détachement (éventuellement partiel) de la portion détachable, via une ouverture de la paroi de fond coté espace de couchage, la paroi coté sol étant alors éventuellement dénuée d'ouverture.In a preferred embodiment, the bottom comprises both an opening on the ground side for the insertion of a mattress and a detachable element on the sleeping space side. Nevertheless, one could foresee an insertion of the mat after detachment (possibly partial) of the detachable portion, via an opening of the bottom wall side sleeping space, the wall on the ground side then possibly having no opening.

Les différentes caractéristiques ci-dessus pourront bien entendu être combinées.The different characteristics above can of course be combined.

Il est en outre proposé un procédé de déploiement ou de repliement d'un dispositif tel que décrit ci-dessus , dans lequel lors de ce déploiement ou de ce repliement une seule des deux extrémités de la barre est solidarisée à la structure en arceau, l'autre desdites extrémités étant laissée libre. La barre reste donc liée à la structure en arceau lorsque cette structure passe de l'état replié à l'état déployé et/ou inversement.It is furthermore proposed a method of deploying or folding a device as described above, in which during this deployment or folding only one of the two ends of the bar is secured to the arch structure, the other of said ends being left free. The bar therefore remains linked to the arch structure when this structure goes from the folded state to the deployed state and / or vice versa.

L'invention est maintenant décrite, en faisant référence aux dessins, non limitatifs, dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 et la figure 4 sont des vue en perspective d'un exemple de lit pour enfant selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, certains éléments n'étant pas représentés sur l'une ou l'autre de ces figures pour des raisons de lisibilité et de clarté. Par exemple le molleton n'est pa représenté sur la figure 1, tandis que les barres de contrefort ne sont que très partiellement représentées sur la figure 4.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de dessus d'une structure d'un lit pour enfant selon le premier mode de réalisation, représenté de façon très schématique.
  • La figure 3 illustre l'installation d'un matelas gonflable dans un lit pour enfant selon le premier mode de réalisation.
The invention is now described, with reference to the non-limiting drawings, in which:
  • The figure 1 and the figure 4 are perspective views of an example of a child's bed according to a first embodiment of the invention, some elements not being represented on one or the other of these figures for reasons of readability and clarity . For example, the fleece is not represented on the figure 1 , while the buttress bars are only very partially represented on the figure 4 .
  • The figure 2 is a top view of a structure of a child's bed according to the first embodiment, shown very schematically.
  • The figure 3 illustrates the installation of an inflatable mattress in a child's bed according to the first embodiment.

Selon le premier mode de réalisation, non limitatif, représenté sur les figures, un lit pour enfant 1 est formé d'une structure déployable en arceau. Cette structure comprend deux arceaux 110, 120, dont le premier arceau 110 forme une boucle de base apte à reposer sur le sol et un deuxième arceau 120 dressé dont la vue de face en position déployée présente sensiblement une forme de U, dont les branches ont tendance à s'écarter l'une de l'autre.According to the first embodiment, not limiting, shown in the figures, a child's bed 1 is formed of a deployable arch structure. This structure comprises two arches 110, 120, whose first arch 110 forms a base loop capable of resting on the ground and a second arch 120 erected whose front view in the deployed position has a substantially U-shaped, whose branches have tendency to deviate from each other.

Les axes longitudinaux de ces boucles AA', BB' sont sensiblement perpendiculaires l'un par rapport à l'autre.The longitudinal axes of these loops AA ', BB' are substantially perpendicular to each other.

Les deux extrémités longitudinales (B,B') de la boucle support 120 sont associées aux deux extrémités transversale de la boucle de base 110, de sorte que la boucle de base 110 s'étende sensiblement dans un plan et que la boucle support 120 forme deux arceaux 123, 124 dont les extrémités d'arceau 123', 124' s'étendent vers le haut.The two longitudinal ends (B, B ') of the support loop 120 are associated with the two transverse ends of the base loop 110, so that the base loop 110 extends substantially in a plane and that the support loop 120 forms two arches 123, 124 whose arch ends 123 ', 124' extend upwards.

Les extrémités d'arceau 123', 124' assurent notamment le maintien d'une paroi souple 20 en quatre points C, D, E et F formant sensiblement un rectangle. La paroi souple est composée d'un ou de plusieurs éléments de forme parallélépipédique.The ends of the arch 123 ', 124' ensure in particular the maintenance of a flexible wall 20 at four points C, D, E and F forming substantially a rectangle. The flexible wall is composed of one or more parallelepiped shaped elements.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les parois présentent sensiblement une même hauteur h, par exemple 60 ou 70 centimètres. Selon un autre exemple non représenté on pourrait imaginer que les cotés deux à deux opposés du parallélépipède présentent des hauteurs similaires, les cotés attenants étant d'une hauteur différente.In the example shown, the walls have substantially the same height h, for example 60 or 70 centimeters. According to another example not shown one could imagine that the sides two to two opposite of the parallelepiped have similar heights, the adjoining sides being of a different height.

Les parois sont avantageusement sensiblement perpendiculaires au sol, c'est-à-dire qu'elles présentent un angle par rapport à la verticale de +/-10 ° ou moins.The walls are advantageously substantially perpendicular to the ground, that is to say that they have an angle with respect to the vertical of +/- 10 ° or less.

La structure est maintenue en position déployée par la paroi 20 qui agit comme un moyen de maintien en extension sur les arceaux 123 et 124. La paroi 20 permet en effet de contrer les forces tendant à écarter les arceaux 123, 124 l'un de l'autre.The structure is held in the extended position by the wall 20 which acts as an extension holding means on the arches 123 and 124. The wall 20 makes it possible to counter the forces tending to move the arches 123, 124 away from one another. 'other.

Le dispositif comporte quatre tiges ou barres de contrefort, dont deux seulement 201, 201' sont visibles sur la figure 1, les barres permettant de contrer un appui sur l'extrémité d'arceau 124' étant cachées par une paroi en tissu.The device comprises four rods or buttress bars, of which only two 201, 201 'are visible on the figure 1 , the bars for countering a support on the arch end 124 'being hidden by a fabric wall.

Ces barres de contrefort présentent chacune une première extrémité respective (référencée 211, 211' pour les barres 201, 201') et une deuxième extrémité respective (référencée 221, 221' pour les barres 201, 201'). Les premières extrémités des barres de contrefort non visibles sur la figure 1 sont solidarisées à proximité du point haut 122 et les premières extrémités des barres 201, 201', sont solidarisées à proximité du point haut 121. Ces solidarisation sont effectuées au moyen de T en plastique 230, 230', 231, 231'.These buttress bars each have a respective first end (referenced 211, 211 'for the bars 201, 201') and a respective second end (referenced 221, 221 'for the bars 201, 201'). The first ends of the buttress bars not visible on the figure 1 are secured in the vicinity of the high point 122 and the first ends of the bars 201, 201 'are secured near the high point 121. These fastening are performed by means of plastic T 230, 230', 231, 231 '.

Les branches verticales des T 230 , 230' reçoivent respectivement les extrémités des barres de contrefort non visibles correspondantes tandis que les branches horizontales de ces T 230, 230' reçoivent des portions de la boucle 120 à proximité du point haut 122. De la même façon, les branches verticales des T 231, 231' reçoivent les extrémités 211, 211' tandis que les branches horizontales de ces T 231, 231' reçoivent des portions de la boucle 120 au niveau du point haut 121. La solidarisation des premières extrémités des barres de contrefort à la structure en arceau est donc pérenne, les T 230, 230', 231, 231' étant destinés à ne pas être défaits par un utilisateur.The vertical branches of the T 230, 230 'respectively receive the ends of the corresponding non-visible counterfoil bars while the horizontal branches of these T 230, 230' receive portions of the loop 120 near the high point 122. Of the same In this way, the vertical branches of the T 231, 231 'receive the ends 211, 211' while the horizontal branches of these T 231, 231 'receive portions of the loop 120 at the high point 121. The joining of the first ends of the buttress bars to the arch structure is durable, T 230, 230 ', 231, 231' being intended not to be undone by a user.

En revanche, les deuxièmes extrémités des barres de contrefort sont simplement destinées à être reçues dans des boutonnières (référencées 222, 222' sur la figure 3) respectives d'une paroi en toile 965 supportée par la boucle de base 110.On the other hand, the second ends of the buttress bars are simply intended to be received in buttonholes (referenced 222, 222 'on the figure 3 ) respectively of a fabric wall 965 supported by the base loop 110.

La structure est par exemple composée de tubes d'un diamètre de 5 mm. Les barres de contrefort 201, 201' et les boucles 110, 120 peuvent être en fibres de verre par exemple.The structure is for example composed of tubes with a diameter of 5 mm. The buttress bars 201, 201 'and the loops 110, 120 may be made of glass fibers, for example.

La boucle de base 110 présente une longueur dépliée d'environ 4860 mm.The base loop 110 has an unfolded length of about 4860 mm.

La boucle support 120 présente une longueur dépliée d'environ 4028 mm.The support loop 120 has an unfolded length of about 4028 mm.

La structure est habillée d'une enveloppe 500, comprenant au moins six patrons différents. Un patron peut être utilisé pour plusieurs pièces. Le dispositif est réalisé à partir d'

  • Un premier patron sensiblement rectangulaire correspondant aux cotés de l'espace de couchage et un deuxième patron également sensiblement rectangulaire, mais de dimension plus réduite, correspondant aux extrémités de l'espace de couchage.
  • Un troisième patron et un quatrième patron, adaptés pour fermer les surfaces s'étendant entre les cotés de l'espace de couchage et la boucle support 120 en arceau, dont la forme est délimitée par la corde d'un cercle et sa périphérie. A titre d'exemple, le troisième patron présente une corde de 600 mm et une hauteur de 158 mm, le quatrième patron présente une corde de 1653 mm et une hauteur de 207 mm.
  • Un cinquième patron, adapté pour fermer les surfaces extérieures de la structure s'étendant entre les points 121, A, B et B', et son symétrique 122, A', B et B'.
  • Un sixième patron sensiblement ovale, adapté pour fermer le dessous de la structure, présentant les dimensions suivantes 1500 mm entre les points A et A' et 1000 mm entre les points B et B'. Comme expliqué ci-après, on prévoit en outre un patron rectangulaire pour définir avec le sixième patron une poche pour recevoir un matelas 900 (voir la figure 3).
The structure is dressed with an envelope 500, comprising at least six different patterns. A pattern can be used for several pieces. The device is made from
  • A first substantially rectangular pattern corresponding to the sides of the sleeping space and a second pattern also substantially rectangular, but of smaller size, corresponding to the ends of the sleeping space.
  • A third pattern and a fourth pattern, adapted to close the surfaces extending between the sides of the sleeping area and the support loop 120 in the form of an arch whose shape is delimited by the rope of a circle and its periphery. For example, the third pattern has a rope of 600 mm and a height of 158 mm, the fourth pattern has a rope of 1653 mm and a height of 207 mm.
  • A fifth pattern, adapted to close the outer surfaces of the structure extending between the points 121, A, B and B ', and its symmetrical 122, A', B and B '.
  • A sixth substantially oval boss, adapted to close the underside of the structure, having the following dimensions 1500 mm between points A and A 'and 1000 mm between points B and B'. As explained below, there is further provided a rectangular pattern for defining with the sixth pattern a pocket for receiving a mattress 900 (see FIG. figure 3 ).

A l'ensemble de ces patrons il est nécessaire d'ajouter les débords nécessaire à l'assemblage, qui peuvent s'étendre par exemple entre 20 mm et 30 mm.To all these patterns it is necessary to add the overhangs necessary for assembly, which can extend for example between 20 mm and 30 mm.

L'enveloppe 500 est supportée par la structure en arceau au moyen de manchons en toile 510.The casing 500 is supported by the arch structure by means of fabric sleeves 510.

La structure déployable 110, 120 décrite dans la figure 1 est avantageusement une structure autodéployable bien connue de l'homme du métier.The deployable structure 110, 120 described in the figure 1 is advantageously a self-expanding structure well known to those skilled in the art.

Les arceaux, une fois repliés par une méthode bien connue de l'homme du métier, forment un cercle d'un diamètre allant de 60 à 90 cm de diamètre.The arches, once folded by a method well known to those skilled in the art, form a circle with a diameter ranging from 60 to 90 cm in diameter.

A chacun des deux premiers patrons, est cousu une poche 600 pour recevoir une barre de renforcement horizontale 300 et deux barres de renforcement verticales 310, 310'. Ces barres ont chacune une longueur adaptée de sorte que ces barres 300, 310, 310' ne constituent pas une gêne pour le repliement, par exemple 60 centimètres. Sur la figure 1, la poche et les barres de renforcement ne sont visibles que pour l'un des deux premiers patrons.Each of the first two patterns is sewn with a pocket 600 for receiving a horizontal reinforcing bar 300 and two vertical reinforcing bars 310, 310 '. These bars each have a length adapted so that these bars 300, 310, 310 'do not constitute a hindrance for folding, for example 60 centimeters. On the figure 1 , the pocket and reinforcement bars are only visible for one of the first two patterns.

La distance entre les points F et C peut par exemple être de 1 mètre environ. L'homme du métier comprendra que les figures ne sont pas forcément à l'échelle et saura éventuellement effectuer les adaptations nécessaires.The distance between the points F and C may for example be about 1 meter. Those skilled in the art will understand that the figures are not necessarily scaled and will eventually make the necessary adaptations.

Le dispositif 1 comprend en outre deux barres obliques, dont une seule 800 est visible sur la figure 1, pour contrer un appui sur la barre 300 ayant une composante horizontale. Chacune de ces barres obliques est solidarisée d'une part à la barre de renforcement horizontale correspondante, au moyen d'un T en plastique par exemple, et d'autre part à l'une et/ou l'autre des boucles 110, 120, au niveau de la jonction de ces boucles, là encore au moyen d'un T en plastique. Ainsi, la barre 800 est solidarisée à la barre 300 par un T en plastique 810 et au point B de la boucle de base 110 par un T en plastique 820.The device 1 further comprises two slashes, of which only one 800 is visible on the figure 1 , to counter a support on the bar 300 having a horizontal component. Each of these slashes is secured on the one hand to the corresponding horizontal reinforcing bar, by means of a plastic T for example, and on the other hand to one and / or the other of the loops 110, 120 at the junction of these loops, again by means of a plastic tee. Thus, the bar 800 is secured to the bar 300 by a plastic T 810 and the point B of the base loop 110 by a plastic T 820.

Ce T 820 peut aussi permettre de solidariser les boucles 110, 120 l'une à l'autre.This T 820 can also make it possible to secure the loops 110, 120 to one another.

L'homme du métier appréciera que le repliement des arceaux, bien connu en soi, n'est pas incommodé par la présence des barres 300, 310, 310', 210, 210', 800, et leurs homologues non visibles sur la figure 1. Les barres de contrefort sont fixées a l'arceau supérieur à l'aide de T en plastique 230, 230', 231, 231' et ont chacun une extrémité laissée libre. Les barres 300, 310, 310', 800, sont situées à des endroits sans rupture de pliage et n'empêchent donc en rien le repliement. Ce système permet une mise en place automatique lors du déploiement et un repliement sans nécessiter d'action de démontage ou de déverrouillage de la part de l'utilisateur. Lors des phases de déploiement ou de repliement, l'utilisateur a uniquement le système "pop up" à gérer, c'est à dire former un 8 avec les deux arceaux pour le repliement. L'ensemble des éléments additionnels de rigidification 300, 310, 310', 210, 210', 800, se met en place et se replie automatiquement.Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the folding of the hoops, well known per se, is not inconvenienced by the presence of the bars 300, 310, 310 ', 210, 210', 800, and their counterparts not visible on the figure 1 . The buttress bars are attached to the upper bow with the aid of plastic T 230, 230 ', 231, 231' and each has a free end. The bars 300, 310, 310 ', 800, are located at places without bending rupture and therefore do not prevent the folding. This system allows automatic installation during deployment and refolding without requiring disassembly or unlocking action on the part of the user. During deployment or refolding phases, the user only has the system "pop up" to manage, that is to say form an 8 with the two arches for folding. The set of additional stiffening elements 300, 310, 310 ', 210, 210', 800, is set up and folds automatically.

Les barres 300, 310', 310, ici en fibres de verre, sont solidarisées entre elles par des T en plastique 320, 320'. Des coutures non représentées sur la figure 1 permettent de maintenir en place les barres 300, 310, 310'.Bars 300, 310 ', 310, here glass fibers, are secured together by plastic T 320, 320'. Seams not shown on the figure 1 allow to hold bars 300, 310, 310 'in place.

Les barres verticales 310, 310' ont chacune une extrémité solidarisée à la barre horizontale 300, et l'autre extrémité 710, 710' située à quelques centimètres du fond de l'espace de couchage. Si l'enfant appuie sur le rebord supérieur 700, cette autre extrémité 710, 710' vient en butée et permet de contrer les efforts liés à l'appui.The vertical bars 310, 310 'each have one end secured to the horizontal bar 300, and the other end 710, 710' located a few centimeters from the bottom of the sleeping space. If the child presses on the upper flange 700, the other end 710, 710 'abuts and can counter the efforts related to the support.

Alternativement, dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, on peut prévoir que l'extrémité basse des barres verticales atteigne le bas de la paroi, voire débouche jusqu'au sol en passant par des oeillets formés dans l'enveloppe. Par exemple, la hauteur h des parois peut être de 60 centimètres et la longueur des barres verticales peut aussi être égale à 60 centimètres environ. Dans ce cas, on peut prévoir que la barre horizontale soit maintenue dans un ourlet du bord supérieur.Alternatively, in an embodiment not shown, it can be provided that the lower end of the vertical bars reaches the bottom of the wall, or even leads to the ground through eyelets formed in the envelope. For example, the height h of the walls can be 60 centimeters and the length of the vertical bars can also be equal to about 60 centimeters. In this case, it can be provided that the horizontal bar is maintained in a hem of the upper edge.

Dans un mode de réalisation non représenté, on pourrait prévoir une seule barre verticale du type 310 par paroi, ou bien trois, ou bien encore un nombre plus élevé.In an embodiment not shown, one could provide a single vertical bar type 310 per wall, or three, or even a higher number.

Pour revenir à la figure 1, les deuxièmes patrons comportent deux ouvertures chacun (référencées 400, 400' pour celles visibles sur la figure 1) pour laisser passer la barre de contrefort correspondante (référencées 201, 201').To return to the figure 1 , the second patterns have two openings each (referenced 400, 400 'for those visible on the figure 1 ) to pass the corresponding counter bar (referenced 201, 201 ').

Pour plus de clarté, on a représenté sur la figure 1 la poche 600 comme extérieure, mais on comprendra que pour des raisons d'esthétique, il peut être avantageux de la placer à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe.For the sake of clarity, we have shown on the figure 1 the pocket 600 as exterior, but it will be understood that for aesthetic reasons, it may be advantageous to place it inside the envelope.

Egalement, pour plus de clarté, on n'a représenté entièrement sur la figure 1 que deux des quatre barres de contrefort, qu'une seule des deux barres de renforcement horizontale, que deux des quatre barres de renforcement verticales, qu'une seule des deux barres obliques etc. On comprendra que de l'autre coté de l'espace de couchage se trouve des éléments similaires à ceux explicitement représentés sur la figure.Also, for the sake of clarity, we have not represented entirely on the figure 1 only two of the four buttress bars, only one of the two horizontal reinforcement bars, two of the four vertical reinforcement bars, only one of the two slashes etc. It will be understood that on the other side of the sleeping space are elements similar to those explicitly shown in the figure.

La figure 2 montre la structure en arceaux du lit 1, avec les boucles 110, 120, et les parois 20 qui définissent un espace de couchage pour un enfant.The figure 2 shows the arch structure of the bed 1, with the loops 110, 120, and the walls 20 which define a sleeping space for a child.

La figure 3 illustre l'installation d'un matelas 900. Un utilisateur 960 fait d'abord basculer le lit 1 selon la flèche 961, de façon à soulever du sol le fond 950, 965 du lit 1. Puis le matelas 900 est inséré, à l'état dégonflé, dans une ouverture 962 définie entre le rectangle de tissus 950 et le sixième patron de forme ovale 965, suivant la flèche 963.The figure 3 illustrates the installation of a mattress 900. A user 960 first tilts the bed 1 according to the arrow 961, so as to raise the bottom floor 950, 965 of the bed 1. Then the mattress 900 is inserted, at deflated state, in an opening 962 defined between the tissue rectangle 950 and the sixth boss oval 965, according to the arrow 963.

On peut fixer par couture un patron rectangulaire 950 à un patron ovale 965 de façon à laisser une ouverture 962 pour l'insertion d'un matelas. On prévoiera par exemple des coutures sur trois seulement des quatre cotés du rectangle.A rectangular pattern 950 can be sewn to an oval pattern 965 so as to leave an opening 962 for the insertion of a mattress. For example, stitching on only three of the four sides of the rectangle will be provided.

En variante, la paroi coté coté sol pourrait être d'une seule pièce et percée d'une ouverture pour l'insertion du matelas. La paroi coté espace de couchage pourrait être fixée à la paroi coté sol par des coutures formant un rectangle de dimensions légèrement supérieures à celle du matelas. Le matelas est ainsi reçu via l'ouverture de la paroi coté sol, entre les deux parois superposées qui forment le fond de l'espace de couchage.In a variant, the side wall on the ground side could be in one piece and pierced with an opening for the insertion of the mattress. The wall side sleeping space could be fixed to the wall on the ground by seams forming a rectangle of dimensions slightly greater than that of the mattress. The mattress is thus received via the opening of the wall on the ground side, between the two superimposed walls which form the bottom of the sleeping space.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à un forme particulière du fond, même s'il est avantageux que ce fond définisse un logement pour recevoir le matelas.The invention is not limited to a particular form of the bottom, although it is advantageous for this bottom to define a housing for receiving the mattress.

Le matelas est inséré à l'état dégonflé, et gonflé une fois mis en place, avec de smoyens de gonflage connus de l'homme du métier.The mattress is inserted in the deflated state, and inflated once set up, with smoyens of inflation known to those skilled in the art.

Comme représenté sur la figure 4, un élement détachable 964, par exemple un molleton, est fixé à la paroi 965, coté espace de couchage, par des bandes Velcro® 970 ou un autre moyen de fixation amovible. Après quelques utilisations, ou bien si l'enfant a souillé ce molleton 964, il est possible de retirer le molleton 964 et de la laver séparément du reste de l'enveloppe 500.As shown on the figure 4 a detachable member 964, for example a fleece, is attached to the wall 965, on the sleeping side, by Velcro ® strips 970 or other removable fastening means. After some use, or if the child has soiled this fleece 964, it is possible to remove the fleece 964 and wash separately from the rest of the envelope 500.

En variante, on pourrait prévoir que lors du déploiement, pour chaque barre de contrefort, l'extrémité basse de la barre soit guidée par l'utilisateur ou par un moyen de guidage du type fourreau dans un élément de réception avec un évidement de diamètre interne légèrement supérieur au diamètre externe de la barre. Cette introduction déclenche un mouvement d'un élément de verrouillage de l'élément de réception, ce mouvement conduisant à bloquer la barre. Cet élément de verrouillage peut se situer à au niveau du passage de la barre et peut par exemple comporter un ressort et une pièce évidée susceptible d'être poussée par le ressort. L'évidement de la pièce évidée a sensiblement le même diamètre que celui de l'élément de réception. En position verrouillée, la pièce évidée applique du fait de la poussée du ressort des forces transversales contre la portion de barre de contrefort correspondante, ces forces étant suffisantes pour empêcher ou rendre plus difficile le retrait de la barre. Lors du repliement, l'utilisateur appuie sur une extrémité débouchante de la pièce évidée et qui constitue en quelques sortes un bouton. La force d'appui étant dans le sens opposé à celui de la force de poussée du ressort, la pièce évidée est déplacée. Lorsque l'évidemment de la pièce évidée est sensiblement aligné avec l'évidement de l'élément de réception, et que la pièce évidée applique contre la barre une force suffisamment faible, la barre peut être retirée plus facilement par l'utilisateur ou du fait de l'entraînement lié au repliement de la structure.Alternatively, it could be provided that during deployment, for each buttress bar, the lower end of the bar is guided by the user or by a sleeve-type guide means in a receiving member with a recess of internal diameter. slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bar. This introduction triggers a movement of a locking element of the receiving element, this movement leading to block the bar. This locking element may be located at the passage of the bar and may for example comprise a spring and a recessed piece capable of being pushed by the spring. The recess of the recessed piece has substantially the same diameter as that of the receiving element. In the locked position, the recessed piece applies due to the spring force of the transverse forces against the corresponding buttress bar portion, these forces being sufficient to prevent or make more difficult removal of the bar. During folding, the user presses an open end of the recessed piece and which is in a way a button. The bearing force being in the opposite direction to that of the spring biasing force, the recessed piece is moved. When the recess of the recessed piece is substantially aligned with the recess of the receiving member, and the recessed piece is applied against the bar a sufficiently low force, the bar can be removed more easily by the user or the fact training related to the folding of the structure.

Dans la présente demande, les termes "haut", "bas", supérieur", "inférieur" , "horizontal", "vertical", sont à prendre dans le sens commun du terme, pour un dispositif déployé posé sur un sol, ce sol étant supposé horizontal ou sensiblement horizontal, bas et inférieur par rapport au dispositif déployé posé sur le sol. Bien entendu, le dispositif déployé peut être soulevé et/ou orienté différemment, notamment lors de l'installation du matelas.In the present application, the terms "high", "low", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "vertical" are to be understood in the common sense of the term, for a deployed device placed on a floor, this Soil being assumed horizontal or substantially horizontal, low and lower compared to the deployed device placed on the ground.Of course, the deployed device can be raised and / or oriented differently, especially during the installation of the mattress.
