Description

  The present invention relates to a bed, and more particularly to a bed that can be switched between a form suitable as a baby bed and a form suitable as an adult bed. Furthermore, it is related with the crib which can perform the transfer operation to a folding state easily.

  Usually, an infant is laid on a crib in a form that surrounds the surroundings until almost one year after birth. As the baby grows, this crib becomes unnecessary.

  The crib itself is intended only to lay an infant, so it is relatively injured and can be reused sufficiently. If an infant using a crib can continue to use this bed even after growing up, the child can have a feeling of valuing things. In addition, by continuing to use a baby bed that has changed shape even after growing up, it is possible to maintain the memories of love received from parents during the infant's age for a long time and to nurture a warm heart. become.

A baby bed that satisfies the above requirements is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-41629. In the crib disclosed in this publication, the length of the bed floor frame is adjustable. When the child is an infant, the length of the bed floor frame is shortened, and when the child grows up, the length of the bed floor frame is increased.
