Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of childcare articles.
  • childcare articles which comprise, on the one hand, a childcare module adapted to receive a child and, on the other hand, a base module, removable, adapted to receive said childcare module for its stable installation. and raised off the ground.
  • Some childcare modules are intended to receive a child. This is the case, for example, with bathtubs and changing tables, to make it easier to wash infants, or even with chairs used for meals for young children.
  • the childcare module usually rests on the ground by means of a base module.
  • This base module ensures the stability and safety of the assembly placed on the ground. It also allows the childcare module to be raised, for optimal ergonomics.
  • the base module is also advantageously foldable when it is dissociated from the childcare module, to gain even more compactness.
  • Childcare articles intended by nature for the youngest children, must indeed meet different construction requirements to ensure optimum safety.
  • the base module must thus ensure a stable and raised installation on the ground, while allowing a reliable and rapid association / dissociation of the childcare module. This base module must also maintain optimum stability when subjected to heavy loads.
  • Said base module comprises a folding support which is equipped with legs and on which said childcare module is intended to be attached.
  • This folding support comprises several branches, movable, which are each equipped with at least one of said legs.
  • the folding support thus serves as an interface between the childcare module and the legs.
  • the folding support In its deployed configuration, the folding support then ensures optimal reception of the childcare module.
  • This collapsible support also allows for minimal bulk in the collapsed configuration.
  • the folding support comprises four branches which are each extended by a leg.
  • the branches and said at least one articulation are arranged to form two pairs of branches, advantageously symmetrical.
  • the foldable support comprises two arms which are assembled in a crossed manner at a single articulation.
  • the arms each define two of said branches, on either side of said single articulation.
  • each arm has two side faces.
  • the branches extend parallel to each other and are offset from each other so that two of the side faces are coplanar, or at least approximately coplanar, in a plane passing through the axis of rotation.
  • the branches are terminated by a hinge portion.
  • the articulation portions of at least two branches are superimposed and are assembled by a journal so as to form together said at least one articulation.
  • said articulation portions each comprise a through orifice.
  • said journal consists of a part added through said through orifices arranged coaxially.
  • the articulation portion comprises a recess relative to the associated branch.
  • the articulation portions are superimposed and nested.
  • the height of the articulation portion also advantageously corresponds to half the height of said associated branches.
  • the present invention also relates to the base module, as such, and the childcare module, as such.
  • the childcare article 1 according to the invention is suitable for receiving a child.
  • child is advantageously understood to mean children under 4 years of age, including infants or young children.
  • the childcare article 1 is adapted to facilitate the toilet of an infant.
  • the childcare module 2 here consists of a bathtub, advantageously made of a plastic material (preferably in one piece) and impermeable to liquids.
  • the bathtub 2 here consists of a bottom wall 21 which is extended by a side wall 22.
  • the bottom wall 21 comprises in particular a lower face 21 a , opposite the side wall 22 ( figure 10 ).
  • such a childcare module can also consist of a changing table or a baby chair (not shown).
  • the base module 3 can thus receive, interchangeably, at least two different childcare modules (advantageously among a bathtub and / or a changing table and / or a chair). Each baby module then advantageously comprises a bottom face 21a, to cooperate with the base unit 3 as described below.
  • the base module 3 is removable from the childcare module 2.
  • the base module 3 is suitable for being associated / dissociated from the childcare module 2.
  • the base module 3 is itself foldable.
  • the base module 3 comprises a folding support 5 which is equipped with legs 6.
  • the folding support 5, mounted on legs 6, is thus raised above the ground.
  • the folding support 5 is advantageously formed by a set of parts made of plastic material.
  • the legs 6 advantageously consist of rectilinear, elongated parts, for example bars or rods, which are made of a metallic material or of wood or plastic or any suitable material.
  • Each leg 6 has a length which is for example between 0.5 m and 1.2 m.
  • the folding support 5, in the deployed configuration, is adapted to receive the childcare module 2.
  • the childcare module 2 is intended to be attached to the folding support 5 in the deployed configuration.
  • the folding support 5 comprises several branches 7 which together form a reception structure for the childcare module 2.
  • the branches 7 are each equipped by at least one of the aforementioned legs 6.
  • the branches 7 are, moreover, movable relative to each other.
  • open position and “closed position” is also advantageously meant a variation of an opening angle A defined between two branches 7 connected by an articulation 8 (in particular between the longitudinal axes 7 'of these two branches 7). .
  • the opening angle A1 in the open position ( figure 4 ) is thus greater than the opening angle A2 in the closed position ( figure 5 ).
  • each branch 7 here has the general shape of a rectilinear rod which has a longitudinal axis 7 '.
  • the bottom faces 73 of the branches 7 together define a lower surface S1 from which the legs 6 extend.
  • the branches 7 are further arranged so that the aforementioned top faces 72 are advantageously coplanar. They thus define an upper surface S2 opposite to the bottom surface S1 and advantageously plane, for receiving the bottom face 21a of the bottom wall 21 of the childcare module 2.
  • the folding support 5 further defines a general plane P , here parallel to the upper surface S2 and also to the longitudinal axes 7 '( figure 3 ).

  • Each branch 7 is also advantageously adapted to be maneuvered around an axis of rotation 8 'which extends perpendicularly to its longitudinal axis 7'.
  • the branches 7 are terminated by an articulation portion 77 (here at their proximal end 75) which each forms part of an articulation 8 ( figure 7 ).
  • the articulation portions 77 of at least two branches 7 are superimposed and are assembled by a journal 9 so as to form together said at least one articulation 8.
  • each articulation portion 77 comprises a recess relative to the associated branch 7.
  • the articulation portion 77 of a branch 7 is located on the side of its top face 72, with a recess on the side of its bottom face 73; conversely, the articulation portion 77 of the associated branch 7 is located on the side of its underside 73, with a recess on the side of its top face 72.

  • the branches 7 of a pair are contiguous, or at least approximately contiguous (also called “resting”), at the level of their side faces 71 facing each other.
  • the branches 7 of the two pairs are assembled by the same joint 8, unique, which defines an axis of rotation 8 'common to the four branches 7.
  • the branches 7 are thus radial, or radiated, with respect to the axis of rotation 8 '.
  • the folding support 5 comprises two arms 31 which each form two of these branches 7.
  • the arms 31 are assembled, in a crossed manner, at the level of the single articulation 8.
  • the two arms 31 are arranged so as to cross and to be assembled by the single articulation 8.
