The invention relates to a compact device in particular of the folding changing table type for a small footprint, used to change and give little care to young children and serving to protect them thanks to the rigid side walls and therefore to remedy the problem of falls. accidental, characterized in that it is composed of a plate (1), two rigid lateral anti-fall ramparts (4) - (4.1) foldable inside and fixed by hinge-type joints (5) resting on supports (2) - (2.1) integral with the plate (1).

According to particular embodiments, it comprises a rigid rear rampart (6) which can be folded inside and slides vertically on an axis (7) fixed in the support (3) itself secured to the plate (1), said support covering the width of the tray - it includes at least one L-shaped shelf (8) and (8.1) sliding on rollers or rails (9) fixed below the tray (1) at its upper end and / or on the sides, the tray then being provided with several feet (10) raising it to allow the shelf (s) to slide freely, - it comprises at least one pocket (12) in particular for the diapers and each located in a housing in the walls exterior of the rigid lateral ramparts (4) - (4.1), the pocket or pockets being fixed so as to come flush with the front face of the housing, - it comprises a system for locking the rigid lateral ramparts (4) - (4.1) in position deployed by clasp whose parts s in particular females (11) are fixed on the rigid lateral ramparts and the male parts (11.1) on the support (3) for example.

- It comprises a system for locking the rear rampart (6) by clasp in the folded position, the notably female parts (11) of which are fixed to the rear rampart (6) and the male parts (11.1) are fixed to the rigid lateral ramparts ( 4) - (4.1).

- it comprises means of padding of the foam layer type with separate or non-covering elements covering at least the plate and the rigid lateral ramparts, - it comprises a handle (13) fixed on either side on the support (3) and which makes it possible to move and carry the device in a compact position, rigid side walls and rear folded down, - it may include removable and / or folding feet, in particular for camping. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a tray (1) on which the child is stretched, with 2 rigid lateral anti-fall ramparts (4) - (4.1) as protection and foldable inside. These ramparts are each in particular in one piece and are fixed by hinge-type joints (5) resting on the supports (2) and (2.1) themselves secured to the plate (1) which comprises at least one shelf (8 ) - (8.1) sliding on rails or rollers (9) intended to receive exchange and care accessories. The shelf (s) are fixed below said shelf at its upper end and / or on the sides, said shelf (1) then being provided with several feet (10) raising it to allow the shelf (s) to slide freely . Each shelf comprises at least one pair of rails, the male parts of which are fixed for example to the upper part of the shelf, the plate (1) receiving the female parts housed in grooves located in the underside of said plate (1).

In a notched part of the support (3) is fixed a rear rampart (6) by an axis (7) passing through it. This rear rampart (6), vertically sliding and foldable inside, serves to place the accessories placed on the shelf (8) out of the child's reach.

The rigid lateral ramparts (4) and (4.1) comprise at least one pocket (12) in particular for the layers and each located in a housing in the outer walls of said rigid lateral ramparts (4) - (4.1), the pocket or pockets being fixed so as to come flush with the front face of the housing.

In working configuration, the rigid lateral ramparts (4) - (4.1) are deployed and held in position by a locking system with clasp, the female parts in particular (11) of which are fixed to the lateral ramparts and the male parts (11.1) on the support (3) for example. The rear rampart (6) can be locked in the folded position by a locking system by hook clasp, the female parts in particular (11) of which are fixed on the said rampart (6) and the male parts on the rigid lateral ramparts against fall ( 4) - (4.1). The device comprises padding means of the foam layer type with separate elements or not covering at least the plate and the side ramparts.

A handle (13) is fixed on either side of the support (3) and makes it possible to move and carry the device (compact position) once all the ramparts have been folded down. According to the embodiment, the device can include removable and folding feet, in particular for camping.

By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have dimensions of the order of - 81 cm in length, 50 cm in width and 1.5 cm in thickness for the tray; - 65 cm in length, 18 x 13 cm in height and 1.5 cm in thickness for the rigid side walls; - 35 cm long, 10 cm high and 1.5 cm thick for the rear rampart. The device according to the invention is a changing table intended to be used to change and give little care to children in complete safety, the ramparts of which can be folded down, hence its easy storage and transport.
