Part-detachable, foldable, and portable safety infant bed

Abstract

An infant bed includes a flexible mat and combination units mounted along circumferential edges of the mat to form hinge sections between the combination units and the mat that allow the combination units to be erected along the edges of the mat to joint to each other and form a surrounding wall. Each of the combination units includes at least one elastic body and forms an access opening through which the elastic body is insertable into and removable from the combination unit for the purposes of cleaning. Each of the combination units is further provided with a folding section along which the combination unit is foldable, whereby the mat and the combination units are collectively foldable along the hinge sections and the folding sections to convert into a sized-reduced pack like article that is hand- or shoulder-carryable to provide advantages of aesthetics and being easy to carry.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a safety infant bed that is foldable and portable and is also part-detachable for cleaning, and more particularly to an infant bed that is flexible and easy to wash and clean for the advantages of being sanitary and clean, and that is foldable into a hand- or shoulder-carryable size-reduced pack like form for the advantages of aesthetics and being easy to carry and use.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]A conventional infant bed or crib is often composed of a main structure made of wood or plastics and a surrounding wall or rail that is covered with cloth for cushioning and protection against any potential risk of damage caused by an infant colliding with the rigid rail when the infant rolls inside the bed. This requirement complicates the structure of the infant bed, making it difficult to mount and dismount the infant bed and not allowing for size adjustability of the infant bed, so that the convention...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]An objective of the present invention is to provide a safety infant bed that allows for easy washing and cleaning and thus has the advantages of being sanitary and clean for infants.

[0007]Another objective of the present invention is to provide a safety infant bed that can be folded into a size-reduced pack like form to offer the advantages of aesthesis and being easy to carry.

[0008]To achieve the above objectives, in accordance with the present invention, an infant bed is provided, comprising a flexible mat and a plurality of combination units mounted along circumferential edges of the mat to form hinge sections between the combination units and the mat that allow the combination units to be erected along the edges of the mat to joint to each other and form a surrounding wall. Each of the combination units comprises at least one elastic body and forms an access opening through which the elastic body is insertable into and removable from the combination unit for the purposes of cleaning. Each of the combination units is further provided with a folding section along which the combination unit is foldable, whereby the mat and the combination units are collectively foldable along the hinge sections and the folding sections to convert into a sized-reduced pack like article that is hand- or shoulder-carryable to provide advantages of aesthetics and being easy to carry.

Problems solved by technology

This requirement complicates the structure of the infant bed, making it difficult to mount and dismount the infant bed and not allowing for size adjustability of the infant bed, so that the conventional infant bed is not good for carrying and requires high manufacturing costs.

However, no access opening is provided to allow for removal and re-insertion of the supporting reinforcements from and into the barrier panels 92 or the mat 91, washing to clean the infant bed or parts thereof is difficult when the infant bed 90 gets stained.

The conventional infant bed thus lacks of the effect of being easily cleaned and maintaining sanitary.

Further, the barrier panels 92 are not provided with any folding means to allow each barrier panel to fold over itself, so that the conventional infant bed 90 can only fold once and further folding into even smaller size is impossible.

The conventional infant bed, even after being folded, still has a large size that is adverse for carrying and aesthetics.

However, the handle 81 is made of a rigid material, making it inconvenient for carrying and use and showing no aesthetics.
