Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for reducing the length, and possibly the width of the interior space of a cot.
- the invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, to children's beds.
- the interior dimensions of the bed should be adapted to the size of the child.
- the clamping means make it possible to clamp the plates of each pair one against the other, so as to pinch the at least two bars included between these plates.
- This known device has several drawbacks, the first of which is that it only allows the length of a child's bed to be reduced, without the possibility of reducing its width. However, for very young children, it turns out that the width of conventional children's beds is too large to eliminate any risk of entanglement of it in his sheets or blankets.
- this transverse board must necessarily be rigid.
- this rigidity if it allows the transverse board to ensure a perfectly safe separation between the headboard and the footboard, unfortunately constitutes a risk of injury to the child. Indeed, the child may injure himself by hitting the transverse board with a part of his body.
- the means for holding the transverse board which necessarily cooperate with at least two bars, are difficult to manufacture because they comprise several plates of distinct and complex shapes. This manufacturing difficulty increases their cost price, and therefore also that of the device as a whole.
- a device for limiting the length of a crib for children comprising a flat surface (sheet) of cotton or a similar material intended to cover the mattress and a fixed reducing element of the length fixed at its ends to the bars of the bed and at its base to said element having a flat surface.
- Such a device also has the disadvantage of not allowing a limitation of the width of the interior space of the bed. In addition, it does not make it possible to modulate the reduction in the length of this interior space.
- cribs for children conventionally have side walls designed to be able to have at least two heights and that the devices limiting the length of a crib known in the prior art cannot adapt to these two heights.
- one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a device for reducing not only the length but also the width of a child's bed, this device presenting no risk of injury to the latter.
- the invention also aims to provide such a device which has a reduced manufacturing cost.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide such a device which is simple to use and compatible with any type of child's bed (and in particular, with regard to cribs, whatever the spacing between the bars, the diameter and the shape of these bars).
- a device reducing the length of a child's bed characterized in that it comprises:
- transverse element having a structure making it possible to absorb shocks and intended to be placed across the bed, each end of the transverse element comprising a first hooking means intended to cooperate with an element from one of the two side walls ht, so as to maintain the transverse element across the bed, and;
- At least one longitudinal element made of flexible material making it possible to reduce the width of the bed and intended to be placed on at least one side of the bed.
- the device according to the invention can be implemented for all types of children's beds and in particular for cribs and canvas beds (or similar material).
- the elements of the side walls of the bed allowing the fixing of the first attachment means of said transverse element are constituted by bars.
- they are preferably formed by eyelets provided in the fabric.
- the device of the invention presents no danger to the child since the transverse element has a structure making it possible to absorb shocks.
- each end of the transverse element also comprises a second attachment means intended to cooperate with an element of the bed base, so as to keep the transverse element pressed against the bed.
- this comprises a board of rigid material, such as for example wood covered at least partially with a layer of flexible material, such as for example wadding or a similar material.
- the transverse element comprises a plate of semi-rigid material such as for example a synthetic cellular material (foam), possibly covered by a layer of flexible material.
- the transverse element can also be constituted by a strip of canvas stretched between the two sides of the bed.
- one of the ends of the longitudinal element making it possible to reduce the width of the bed comprises a third attachment means intended to cooperate with at least a fourth attachment means placed at one of the ends of the transverse element, said fourth means hooking extending over at least part of the length of the transverse element so as to allow adjustment of the space defined by the longitudinal element or elements.
- At least one of the ends of the longitudinal element comprises a fifth hooking means intended to cooperate with an element of the side wall or end of the bed (bar in the case of a bar bed or eyelet in in the case of a canvas bed), so as to maintain the longitudinal element on one side of the bed.
- each longitudinal element comprises a sixth attachment means intended to cooperate with an element of the bed base, so as to keep the longitudinal element pressed against the ht.
- each longitudinal element can be hooked: at one of its two ends: to the transverse element; and / or at each of its two ends: at the side wall and / or at the end of the bed and / or at an element of the bed base.
- said transverse element and said longitudinal element are each covered with a removable cover. In this way, the covers, which are in contact with the child, can be washed regularly.
- said first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth attachment means belong to the group comprising: - hook-and-loop attachment means of Velcro type (registered trademark); eyelets and buttons; thongs; zippers; - press buttons; the straps; the clips.
- the third attachment means of each longitudinal element and the fourth attachment means of the transverse element are of the Velcro type (registered trademark).
- the fourth attachment means extending over at least part of the length of the transverse element, they make it possible to easily adjust the space defined by the longitudinal element or elements and thus to adapt the space defined by them to the size of the child occupying the Ut
- said first attachment means comprises a removable element having: a first face having a shape substantially complementary to that of each bar of the ht; and a second face having a shape substantially complementary to that of one of the ends of the transverse element.
- said transverse element comprises a central part and, at at least one of its ends, a mobile part having at its free end a shape substantially complementary to that of each bar of the bed, said part mobile being connected to said central part by spacing means for locking said mobile part against one of said bars.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 each show a schematic view, in perspective and from above respectively, of a cot with an example of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 3 presents a rear view of a first particular embodiment of the transverse element appearing in FIGS. 1 and 2, as well as means for hooking this transverse element to the bars of the bed
- Figure 4 shows a longitudinal sectional view, along the axis A- A, of the transverse element of Figure 3
- FIG. 5 presents a front view of a particular embodiment of each longitudinal element appearing in FIGS.
- FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal sectional view, along the axis BB, of the longitudinal element of Figure 5;
- FIG. 7 presents a perspective view of a second particular embodiment of the transverse element appearing in FIGS. 1 and 2, as well as means for hooking this transverse element to the bars of the bed;
- FIG. 8 presents a perspective view of a third particular embodiment of the transverse element appearing in FIGS. 1 and 2, as well as means for hooking this transverse element to the bars of the bed;
- - Figure 9 shows a perspective view of a fourth particular embodiment of the transverse element appearing in Figures 1 and 2, as well as means for hooking this transverse element to the bars of the bed.
- the invention therefore relates to a device for reducing the length of a crib. As is the case in the example presented below, the device of the present invention may possibly also reduce the width of the bed in which it is implemented.
- Figures 1 and 2 each show a schematic view, in perspective and from above respectively, of a bed with bars 1 provided with an example of device 2 according to the invention.
