- each said V-shaped elastic piece 43 has two fixing protrusions 431 , which stick out through the through holes 411 of the connecting tube 41 respectively, and which will pass into the through holes 422 to prevent the connecting tube 41 from pivoting on the joining component 42 after the armrest mechanism 4 has been moved to a stretched in-use position.
- the joining component 42 has a gap 423 on a middle of a lower portion, and a round joining hole 424 above the gap 423 .
- the sliding piece 44 has a slot 442 , and is held in the middle of the joining component 42 .
- a joining rod 441 is passed through the round joining hole 424 and the slot 442 so that the sliding piece 44 can be moved up and down relatively to the joining component 42 .

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed, more particularly one, which has a relatively simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and which can be held in an in-use position relatively firmly so as not to fold accidentally to cause danger.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- A common baby mesh bed includes four foldable armrest mechanisms, which are arranged on four sides of an uppermost portion of the mesh bed respectively. Referring to
FIG. 5 , a currently existingfoldable armrest mechanism 1 of a baby mesh bed includes twoconnecting tubes 41, a joiningcomponent 42, and asliding piece 44. The joiningcomponent 42 has such a shape as to have an inverted U-shaped vertical section, and has agap 421 on each of two ends of an uppermost portion thereof, and two opposite throughholes 422 on two sides of a middle of an upper portion thereof. - The connecting
tubes 41 are received in and pivoted to two ends of an upper portion of the joiningcomponent 42 at inward ends thereof. Each of the connectingtubes 41 has a throughhole 411 on its inward end, and a V-shapedelastic piece 43 is partly held in the inward end of each of the connectingtubes 41, with two free ends thereof sticking out from theconnecting tube 41; each said V-shapedelastic piece 43 has twofixing protrusions 431, which stick out through the throughholes 411 of the connectingtube 41 respectively, and which will pass into the throughholes 422 to prevent the connectingtube 41 from pivoting on the joiningcomponent 42 after the armrest mechanism 4 has been moved to a stretched in-use position. - Furthermore, the joining
component 42 has agap 423 on a middle of a lower portion, and around joining hole 424 above thegap 423. And, thesliding piece 44 has aslot 442, and is held in the middle of the joiningcomponent 42. And, a joiningrod 441 is passed through theround joining hole 424 and theslot 442 so that thesliding piece 44 can be moved up and down relatively to the joiningcomponent 42. Thesliding piece 44 has a V-shaped gap 443, and aholding gap 444 under the V-shaped gap 443. A spring 46 is positioned in theholding gap 444, and joined at an upper end thereof to a joiningpiece 445 positioned under thejoining rod 441 so that thesliding piece 44 is biased towards a lower position by thespring 446; the outer free ends of the V-shapedelastic pieces 43 will be received in an upper wider portion of the V-shaped gap 443 when thesliding piece 44 is in the lower position. Therefore, a lower narrower portion of the V-shaped gap 443 will come into contact with the outer free ends of the V-shapedelastic pieces 43 as soon as thesliding piece 44 is pushed to an upper position; thus, the V-shapedelastic pieces 43 are pressed to reduce their width, with thefixing protrusions 431 moving out of the throughholes 422 of thejoining component 42. Consequently, the connectingtubes 41 are no longer fixed to thejoining component 42, and can be pivoted so as to move the armrest mechanism 4 into the folded position. - The above foldable armrest mechanism is found to have the following drawbacks:
- 1. The foldable armrest mechanism isn't safe to use; the fixing protrusions of the V-shaped elastic pieces can move out of the through holes of the joining component to no longer fix the connecting rods to the joining component, and the armrest mechanism can move to the folded position accidentally if the mesh bed is subjected to vibration.
- 2. The armrest mechanism has a relatively complicate structure, and high manufacturing cost because of adoption of the V-shaped elastic pieces, which are used to fix the connecting rods to the joining component, and can be disengaged from the joining component to allow the connecting rods to turn by means of pushing the sliding piece.
- Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide an improvement on a foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed to overcome the above problems.
- A foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a joining component, two connecting rods, and a pair of opposite fixing bars. The connecting rods are pivoted to two ends of an upper portion of the joining component respectively. The fixing bars are pivoted on a lower portion of the joining component, and will prop the inner ends of the connecting rods after the connecting rods are pivoted to a horizontal in-use position. Each fixing bar has an uppermost recessed propping portion, and a first one of the fixing bars has a lever-like pulled part. An elastic element is interposed between and joined on both the fixing bars to exert a biasing force on the fixing bars while a co-moving device is joined on both the fixing bars for the fixing bars to be co-movable with each other. When the pulled part of the fixing bar is pulled, both the fixing bars will pivot to such a position as to no longer prop the connecting rods, thus allowing the rods to pivot to a vertical not-in-use position.
- The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the present invention, -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the present invention, -
FIG. 3 is a lateral sectional view of the present invention during a folding motion (1), -
FIG. 4 is a lateral sectional view of the present invention during a folding motion (2), and -
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the prior art. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of a foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed of the present invention includes a joiningcomponent 1, two connectingrods 2, and a pair ofopposite fixing bars 3. - The joining
component 1 has agap 11 on each of two ends of an uppermost portion thereof, and aninternal holding space 12, which exists under the uppermost portion, and adjoins thegaps 11. The joiningcomponent 1 has two oppositepivotal holes 111 on each of two ends thereof. - The connecting
rods 2 each have apivotal hole 22. The connectingrods 2 are each held in a respective one of the two ends of the joiningcomponent 1 at an inward end thereof, and are each pivoted on the joiningcomponent 1 by means of apivotal piece 21 passed through thepivotal holes - The
fixing bars 3 are positioned next to each other in theholding space 12 of thejoining component 1, and pivoted to the joiningcomponent 1. The joiningcomponent 1 has two pairs of oppositepivotal holes 121 thereon, which communicate with theholding space 12. Each of thefixing bars 3 has apivotal hole 31, and is pivoted on the joiningcomponent 1 by means of apivotal piece 13 passed through thepivotal holes 121 of the joiningcomponent 1 as well as thepivotal hole 31. Each of thefixing bars 3 has a recessedpropping portion 32 on a top thereof to prop a corresponding said connectingrod 2. Thefixing bars 3 have opposite connectingprotrusions 33 on first (upper) portions thereof while anelastic element 34 is positioned between thefixing bars 3, and joined on the connectingprotrusions 33 at two ends thereof so that the first portions of thefixing bars 3 are biased to be apart from each other by means of theelastic element 34, and thefixing bars 3 are usually in an in-use position. Each of thefixing bars 3 has apivotal portion 351, and apivotal rod 352 is passed through thepivotal portions 351 of both thefixing bars 3; thus, thepivotal portions 351 and thepivotal rod 352 comprise aco-moving device 35, which makes thefixing bars 3 co-movable with each other. Thefixing bars 3 have opposite pushingparts 36 protruding from lower ends thereof, which will be propped against each other when thefixing bars 3 are in the in-use position to prop the connectingrods 2, as shown inFIG. 2 . Furthermore, a first one of thefixing bars 3 has a lever-like pulledpart 37 protruding outwards therefrom so that the user is allowed to move both thefixing bars 3 between an in-use position and a not-in-use one by means of exerting force on the pulledpart 37 of thefirst fixing bar 3. - Shown in
FIG. 2 is the foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed in a stretched in-use configuration, wherein the connectingrods 2 is in a horizontal position, and prevented from pivoting on the joiningcomponent 1 with the inner ends thereof being propped on the uppermostrecessed propping portions 32 of thefixing bars 3, and wherein theelastic element 34 keeps thefixing bars 3 in the in-use position with the first portions of thefixing bars 3 being apart from each other. Therefore, thefixing bars 3 can't move to the not-in-use position, and the connectingrods 2 are prevented from pivoting away from the horizontal in-use position relative to the joiningcomponent 1 accidentally. - Shown in
FIG. 3 is the foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed during a folding action, and shown inFIG. 4 is the foldable mechanism in the folded not-in-use configuration. To fold the foldable mechanism, first the user should apply force to the pulledpart 37 of thefirst fixing bar 3, and next pivot the connectingrods 2 to a vertical position, as shown inFIG. 4 ; when the pulledpart 37 is pulled, thefirst fixing bar 3 will pivot on the joiningcomponent 1 with its first (upper) portion moving towards the first portion of the other (second)fixing bar 3, its pushingpart 36 moving away from the pushingpart 36 of thesecond fixing bar 3, and with thepivotal portions 351 of both thefixing bars 3 moving downwards. Thus, theother fixing bar 3 will also pivot on the joiningcomponent 1 with its first portion moving towards the first portion of thefirst fixing bar 3, and with its pushingpart 36 moving away from the pushingpart 36 of thefirst fixing bar 3. In other words, the first portions of thefixing bars 3 will be close to each other, and compress theelastic element 34, as shown inFIG. 3 . Consequently, thefixing bars 3 will no longer prop the connectingrods 1, and the connectingrods 3 can be pivot to the vertical not-in-use position, as shown inFIG. 4 . - From the above description, it can be easily seen that the present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
- 1. There is less risk of the foldable mechanism of a baby mesh bed of the present invention folding accidentally to cause danger; the fixing bars of the present invention have the uppermost recessed propping portions, and the connecting rods will be firmly propped on the recessed propping portions of the fixing bars at their inner ends after having been pivoted to the horizontal in-use position.
- 2. The foldable mechanism of the present invention has a relatively simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and is relatively easy to use as compared with the prior art; the user can move both the fixing bars to the not-in-use position merely by means of exerting force on the pulled part of the first one of the fixing bars, in which not-in-use position both the fixing bars can no longer stop the connecting rods from pivoting to the vertical not-in-use position.
