Description

Changing table cabinet for the bathroom with structure simplified

The present invention relates to a piece of furniture Simplified structure bathroom changing table.

As is known, the changing furniture for the bathroom that are available in the market, are provided normally of a support frame comprising a base substantially rectangular and includes a bathtub on which you can removably dispose a surface to change that it can be opened by tilting it or separating it from said frame.

Normally known solutions result complex from the structural point of view and especially not they can guarantee the correct position of the surface to change both in the open position and in the closed position; how consequently, accidents can obviously occur dangerous.

Another problem is also the fact that that bathroom changers of this type are usually cumbersome, and it is difficult to get a good dejection of the structure to contain it in relatively small boxes to be able to transport it easily.

The document US-A-2,581,883 discloses a support for a baby bath equipped with a combination of elements as indicated in the pre-characterizing part of the attached claim 1.

The purpose of the invention is to solve the aforementioned problems, by means of a changing cabinet for the bathroom of simplified structure that allows to have a changing surface that cannot be physically separated from the support frame and which is also provided with safety means that guarantee precise positioning at all times, thus totally avoiding any possibility of displacement
fortuitous.

Within that purpose, an objective of the invention consists in providing a changing room furniture for the bathroom whose structure can be easily disassembled without having to use Screws or tools of any kind.

Another objective of the present invention is to in providing a bathroom changing cabinet that thanks to its specific construction features, can guarantee in greater measure reliable and safe use.

Another objective of the present invention is to in providing a bathroom changing cabinet that can be obtained easily from common elements and materials available in the market and also be competitive from a economic point of view

In accordance with the invention, a bathroom changing mat as defined in the attached claims.

Other features and advantages of the invention they will become more clear from the description Detailed of a changing cabinet for the structure bathroom simplified, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the attached drawings, in which:

Figure 1 represents a schematic view previous perspective of the bathroom changing table, being the surface to change in closed position;

Figure 2 represents a previous view in perspective of the changing table for the bathroom, the surface being  to change in open position;

Figure 3 represents an elevation view side of the bathroom changing mat;

Figure 4 represents an exploded view and schematic of the bathroom changing mat;

Figure 5 represents a sectional view of the means of closing the surface to change;

Figure 6 represents a schematic view in section of the pivoting means of the surface to change;

Figure 7 represents a plan view partially cut from the immobilizing means of the surface to change.

Referring to the figures, the furniture changing table for the bathroom of simplified structure, according to the invention, generally designated by reference number 1, it comprises a support frame, generally designated with the reference number 2, provided by means of elements modular tubular forming a top frame provided by two half-bodies 3, capable of joining each other by means of automatic couplings that provide an insert pin 11, bound by a dock. The two upper half bodies are coupled to posts 4 by the same elements of coupling, and said posts are in turn associated with about lower half-bodies 5, which constitute a lower endowed frame optionally of casters.

Intermediate trays, designated in general with reference number 10, they are coupled to the formed frame thus, and they have positioning holes in which fit the pins 11 provided in the tubular posts 4; in addition, the trays 10 support central trays 10a.

In the upper box formed by half bodies 3, a bathtub can be fixed, designated with the number of  reference 20, which has radial grooves 21 with a recess 22 for stable interlocking coupling.

Above bathtub 20, capable of associating with separable way with the frame and that is endowed with its own support feet 23, a surface is planned to change 30, pivoted with respect to the upper frame by means of elements of support 31, which are coupled to the surface to change 30 and they have a circular seat 32 that cooperates rotatably with the upper frame constituted by the semi-bodies 3.

In order to perform the lock in position elevated, as shown in dashes in Figure 6, a swing lever 36, pushed elastically to surround the post 4, when the surface 30 is in the position of use, so that when you want to perform the opening action tilting the surface to change you have to act on the lever to decouple it from the pole.

On the opposite edge of the surface to change closing means are provided, which comprise a handle of pivoted lock 40 with respect to horizontal pivots 41 and subjected to the elastic action of coiled springs 42, which they keep a cooperation tooth 43 under the flange of the bathtub 20, to achieve an optimal lock.

Under these conditions, to open the surface to change first it is necessary to act on the handle 40 and then on lever 36 to disengage it from the post 4 and allow the turn.

The fact that foam mats, designated in general with reference number 50, to the surface for change.

In addition the bathtub has an opening 51 for water drainage, provided at the bottom of it, and can be apply a shoulder 52 to the upper frame disposed adjacent in lateral direction to said bathtub 20.

From the above description it turns out evident therefore that the invention achieves the purpose and the objectives pursued, and in particular the fact is emphasized that a changing table furniture for the bathroom is provided a highly simplified structure, which allows reducing considerably its dimensions.

In practice, the materials used, as well as the corresponding shapes and dimensions, can be Any according to the needs.

In the parts in which the technical characteristics mentioned in any of the claims are followed by reference signs, said reference signs have been included only to facilitate the understanding of the claims and as a consequence, said reference signs lack any limiting effect with respect to the interpretation of each of the elements identified by way of example by means of said signs of
reference.
