Description

BASSINET
This invention relates to infant accessories, and more particularly to a bassinet.
t7hen traveling outside, a bassinet together with an S infant can be mounted on a car seat or a stroller, thereby resulting in convenience during use. Typically, a conventional bassinet includes a seat body and a handle.
However, since the handle is mounted to the seat body by bolts, the conventional bassinet suffers from the following disadvantages: 1. During assembly of the handle to the seat body, since there is a need to operate the bolts, the infant seat is inconvenient to assemble. Furthermore, a relatively large mounting space has to be preformed in the seat body to allow a machine, a tool, or a hand to be extended therein for operating the bolts, thereby increasing the volume of the seat body 2. The bolt connection is not reliable and firm, thereby shortening the service life of the infant seat and resulting in a safety risk. In other words, the infant seat is not durable1 The object of this invention is to provide a bassinet that is convenient to assemble and that is durable.
According to this invention, there is prov±ded a bassinet comprising a seat body and a handle unit mounted to the seat body, the seat body including a positioning member, the positioning member having a mounting hole and an accommodating groove, the handle unit including a handle, a rivet member, and an anchoring member, the rivet member having an outer end connected to the handle, the anchoring member being confined within the accommodating groove, the rivet member further having an inner end extending through the mounting hole such that the rivet member is rotatable relative to the anchoring member about a central axis of the rivet member.
These and other features and advantages of this invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of two preferred embodiments of this inven!iion, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of a bassinet according to this invention; Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a handle unit of the first preferred embodiment; Fig. 3A is an enlarged view of a circled portion A of Fig. 2; Fig. 33 is an enlarged view of another circled portion B of Fig. 2; Fig. 4A is a bottom perspective view of the first preferred embodiment; Fig. 43 is an enlarged view of a circled portion C of Fig. 4A; Fig. 5 is a fragmentary perspective view of the first preferred embodiment; Fig. 6 is a side view of the first preferred embodiment in a used state; Fig. 7 is a side view of the first preferred embodiment in a folded state; Fig. 8 a perspective view of an assembling unit of the $ second preferred embodiment of a bassinet according to this invention; and -Fig. 9 is a bottom perspective view of the second preferred embodimentS Before the present invention is described in greater detail in connection with the preferred embodiments, it should be noted that similar elements and structures are designated by like reference numerals throughout the-entire
disclosure.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2, 3a, and 3b, the first preferred embodiment of a bassinet 10 according to this invention includes a seat bod 11 and a handle unit 12. The seat body 11 is disposed to allow an infant to sit or lie thereon.
The handle unit 12 is mounted to the seat body 11, and can be held with one hand of a user (i.e., an adult) to move the bassinet 10. If desired, the bassinet 10 canbe mounted on a stroller or a car seat. The handle unit 12 includes a handle 121, two pushbuttons 122, two rivet members 123, two anchoring members 124, and two return springs 125. The handle 121 has two ends each formed integrally with a hollow operating housing 126 that is associated with one of the pushbuttons 122, one of the rivet members 123, one of the anchoring members 124, and one of the return springs 125 and that includes a slide slot 1263. defined by two guiding rails 1262. Since the bassinet 10 has a symmetric structure, only the seat body 11, the handle 121, one of the pushbuttons 122, one of the rivet members 123, one of S the anchoring members 124, one of the return springs 125, and one of the operating housings 126 are described hereinafter. The pushbutton 122 is movable within the slide slot 1261 in the operating housing 126, and has an upper end exposed from the slide slot 1261. An end of the pushbutton 122 is provided with a retaining rod 1221. The return spring 125 has one end sleeved fixedly on the retaining rod 1221, and the other end abutting against the operating housing 126. The operating housing 126 is formed with a hollow mounting member 1263. The rivet member 123 is inserted into the mounting member 1263. The rivet member 123 is configured as a rivet. During assembly, after the rivet member 123 is inserted into the mounting member 1263, it is deformed by a riveting machine, a rivet gun, or a hammer and thus confined within the mounting member 1263, such that a rivet head 1231 is disposed at an inner end of the rivet member 123 and is exposed from the mounting member 1263. As such, an outer end of the rivet member 123 is connected to the handle 121. The pushbutton 122 is formed with a narrow slot 1222 therethrough. The rivet member 123 extends movably through the narrow slot 1222. A cover 1264 is mounted on the operating housing 126.
The handle 121 is inverted U-shaped, and has a top portion
S
provided with an anti-slip sleeve 1211 to provide comfort to the user.
With further reference to Figs. 4A and 43, the seat body 11 has two sides each provided with a positioning member 13. The positioning member 13 consists of a mounting plate 13A, and a retaining plate 136 secured to a middle portion of the mounting plate 13A. The mounting plate 13A has a mounting hole 131.. The retaining plate 13B cooperates with the mounting plate 13A to define an accommodating groove 132 therebetween. The mounting plate 13A further has a through hole 133 in spatial communication with the accommodating groove 132. The rivet head 1231 is spaced apart from the mounting member 1263 to form a clearance 1266 therebetween. The rivet member 123 extends into the accommodating groove 132 through the mounting hole 131, such that the clearance 1266 is aligned with the accommodating groove 132. The anchoring member 124 is formed with an open-ended slot 1241, and a protrusion 1242.
The anchoring member 124 is inserted into the accommodating groove 132. As such, the operating housing 126 is rotatabJ,e relative to the positioning member 13. The rivet member 123 extends through the open-ended slot 1241, such that a wall defining the open-ended slot 1241 is disposed within the clearance 1266, thereby retaining the handle 121 on the positioning member 13 and, thus, the seat body 11. The protrusion 124 engages the through hole 133 so as to prevent removal of the anchoring member 124 from the accomrriodating groove 132. As a consequence, the rivet member 123 is rotatable relative to the positioning member 13 about a central axis thereof.
With further reference to Figs. 5, 6, and 7, in this embodiment, the pushbutton 122 is provided with a first stop rod 1223 and a second stop rod 1224. The positioning member 13 has a side surface that faces away from the accommodating groove 132 and that is formed with three first locking grooves 134a, 134b, 134c corresponding to the first stop rod 1223, and three second locking grooves 133a, 13Th, 135c corresponding to the second stop rod 122'L When the first and second stop rods 1223, 1224 engage the first and second locking grooves 134a, 135a, respectively, the handle unit 12 is at a position shown in Fig-6 relative to the seat body 11, so that the bassinet 10 is in a used state as shown in Fig. 6. In this state, the user can hold the handle unit 12 to move the bassinet 10 or put the same on a stroller or a car seat. When the first and second stop rods 1223, 1224 engage the first and second locking grooves 134c, 135c, respectively, the handle unit 12. is at a position shown in Fig. 7, so that the bassinet 10 is in a folde.d state. When the first and second stop rods 1223, 1224 engage the first and second locking grooves 134b, 135b, respectively, the bassinet 10 is in a semi-folded state.
In other alternative embodiments, the number of the first and second stop rods 1223, 1224 and the first and second locking grooves 134a, 134b, 134c, 135a, 13Th, 135c can be changed according to needs during use.
Figs. B and 9 show the second preferred embodiment of a bassinet 10 according to this invention. In this embodiment, the bassinet 10 further includes an assembling unit 14. The assembling unit 14 includes an assemb2.ing member and a spring 141. The assembling member includes a pushbutton portion 142, a rotating portion 113, and a hook portion 144. In this embodiment, the rotating portion 143 and the hook portion 144 are formed integrally with each other, and the rotating portion 143 is disposed between the pushbutton portion 142 and the hook portion 144. The seat body 11 is formed with a cavity 111. The rotating portion 143 is disposed within the cavity 111, and is rotatable relative to the seat body 11. That is, the rotating portion 143 is connected pivotally to the seat body 11 The rotating portion 143 includes a pivot shaft (not shown) disposed rotatably in the cavity 111. One end of the pushbutton portion 142 extends outwardly from the cavity 111. The other end of the pushbutton portion 142 abuts against one end of the spring 141. The other end of the spring 141 abuts against the seat body 11. The hook portion 144 is used for connectingwitha stroller. In this embodiment, the hook portion 144 of the assembling member 14 is concealed within the cavity 111. However, in an alternative embodiment, the hook portion 144 may be exposed from the cavity 111.
In view of the above, the handle unit 12 can be mounted easily and conveniently to the seat body 11 without bolts required for the above-mentioned prior art. Furthermore, since no comparatively large mounting space needs to be preforrried in the seat body 11, the volume of the seat body 1]. can be reduced significantly. Further, the rivet member 123 cooperates with the anchoring member 124 to assemble the handle unit 12 to the seat body 11 to thereby establish a reliable and firm connection therebetween for enhancing safety during use of the bassinet 10. Thus, the object of this invention is achieved.
