Description

The present invention relates to a baby basket for carrying babys, having a receptacle for receiving the baby, having a frame, and having a spreading mechanism which, in a position of use of the frame and the receptacle, can spread both away from one another.DE 11 2021 005 929 T5 discloses a foldable baby baby carrier.It is an object of the present invention to provide a stable and secure baby basket.The object is achieved by a baby basket having the features of the independent claim. Advantageous or preferred embodiments are each the subject matter of a corresponding dependent claim.A baby basket for carrying and / or storing baby is proposed. The baby basket can also be a foldable baby basket.The baby basket preferably comprises a receptacle for receiving the baby. The baby can be placed in and / or on the holder in order to be able to wear the baby or can sleep on and / or in it.The baby basket preferably comprises a frame.The baby basket preferably comprises a spreading mechanism which, in a position of use of the frame and the receptacle, can both spread away from one another. The use position can also be the use position of the baby basket. In the use position of the frame and the receptacle and / or the baby basket, the baby can be worn. In the use position, the baby basket can be used. The baby basket is then opened.The baby basket preferably comprises at least one pulling unit which, in the use position, can form a pulling force between frame and receptacle. As a result, the spreading mechanism is acted upon by the tensile force. The spreading mechanism spreads the frame and the receptacle apart or away from each other and the at least one pulling unit presses or pulls both towards each other. As a result, a force-locking fixing of the frame for receiving can be formed. The baby basket thus remains dimensionally stable in the use position. Furthermore, it is thereby possible to prevent the baby basket from folding unintentionally.It is advantageous if the baby basket comprises a delimiting unit which is arranged between frame and receptacle and delimits a receiving space for the baby. This can prevent the baby from falling out of the baby basket.According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is useful if the delimiting unit is the traction unit. The traction unit is thus formed by or by means of the limiting unit. Additionally or alternatively, the delimiting unit can also comprise the at least one pulling unit. This reduces the design complexity of the baby basket.It provides advantages if the traction unit comprises at least one traction element. With the aid of the at least one tension element, the tension force can be formed which acts between frame and receptacle. Advantageously, the traction unit comprises a plurality of traction elements. These may also be arranged circumferentially around the baby basket so that the frame and the receptacle are contracted evenly. The at least one tension element can be arranged on the frame and / or on the receptacle, for example suspended, connected and / or screwed on.It is advantageous if the at least one tension element comprises a spring element. Additionally or alternatively, the tension element can also comprise a rubber element.Advantages are obtained if the delimiting unit is a fabric, a cloth, a fabric and / or a grid. Additionally or alternatively, it is advantageous if the delimiting unit is made of plastic and / or a textile material. By means of the textile material, the fabric and / or the cloth, a risk of injury to the baby can be reduced. Ventilation can be achieved by means of the fabric and / or the lattice, preferably made of textile material, fabric and / or the cloth.It is advantageous if the limiting unit is elastic. As a result, the limiting unit can form the tensile force when it is tensioned.An advantage results if the delimiting unit is arranged on the frame and / or on the receptacle, in particular in a detachable manner. As a result, the delimiting unit can be tensioned between frame and receptacle and form the tensile force. In addition, the delimiting unit can thus close the region between frame and receptacle and thus prevent the baby from falling out of the baby basket.It is advantageous if the spreading mechanism comprises at least one spreading element. By means of the spreading element, the frame can be supported and / or spread away with respect to the receptacle. Advantageously, the spreading mechanism comprises at least two, in particular a plurality of, spreading elements. As a result, the frame and the receptacle can be spread apart uniformly. In addition, it is thereby possible to prevent the frame from tilting relative to the receptacle during spreading.It is advantageous if the at least one spreading element is arranged pivotably on the frame and / or on the receptacle. As a result, the baby basket can be folded together in a space-saving manner and brought into the storage position.Advantages are obtained if the spreading element is a spreader bar.It is advantageous if the at least one spreading element can be latched to the receptacle. In this way, the at least one spreading element can be fixed. Additionally or alternatively, it is advantageous if the at least one spreading element can be coupled to the receptacle in a form-fit and / or force-fit manner. In this way, the at least one spreading element can be fixed.It provides advantages if the receptacle comprises at least one fixing mechanism by means of which the spreading element can be fixed to the receptacle.Advantages result if the at least one fixing mechanism comprises at least one groove. The at least one spreading element can engage in the groove in a simple manner. In the case of a plurality of spreading elements, at least one groove is assigned to each spreading element.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the at least one fixing mechanism is arranged in such a way that the pulling unit presses the at least one spreading element into the fixing mechanism, in particular into the groove. As a result, the at least one spreading element is securely fixed.It is beneficial if the baby basket, in particular the receptacle, has at least one guide unit, by means of which the at least one spreading element can be guided to the fixing mechanism. As a result, the baby basket can be easily opened and brought into the use position.It provides advantages if the guide unit is a guide surface and / or a uniform surface which is adjacent to the groove and / or which is arranged and / or oriented in such a way that it can guide the spreading element into the groove. As a result, the at least one spreading element can be introduced into the groove or the fixing mechanism without difficulty.It is advantageous if, in the use position, the spreading elements are arranged obliquely. As a result, the spreading elements are arranged stably in the use position.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the receptacle has at least one, in particular a plurality of, ventilation openings.It is furthermore advantageous if the baby basket comprises a carrying handle which is arranged on the frame and which is preferably rotatably mounted.Further advantages of the invention are described in the following exemplary embodiments. The following are shown: FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a baby basket in the use position, FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a baby basket in the storage position, FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the baby basket in the use position and with tension elements as a tension unit, FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the baby basket in the use position and with a limiting unit as a pulling unit, FIG. 5 shows a sectional view of the baby basket in the use position and with tension elements and the limiting unit as a tension unit, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the receptacle with a fixing mechanism.FIGS. 1 and 2 each show a baby basket 1 for carrying baby. The baby can also be placed in the baby basket 1 when they sleep. In this case, the baby basket 1 serves as a bed. FIG. 1 shows the baby basket 1 in a use position. FIG. 2 shows the baby basket 1 in a storage position.The baby basket 1 of the present embodiments includes a receiver 2 for receiving the baby. The receptacle 2 has the shape of a trough in accordance with the present exemplary embodiment in order to receive the baby.According to the present exemplary embodiments, the receptacle 2 can have ventilation openings 11 in order to be able to ensure ventilation of the baby. In FIGS. 1 and 2, for the sake of simplicity, only one ventilation opening 11 is provided with a reference sign.Furthermore, the baby basket 1 of the present embodiments comprises a frame 3.Furthermore, the baby basket 1 of the present exemplary embodiments has a spreading mechanism 4. With the aid of the spreading mechanism 4, the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 can be brought into the use position shown in FIG. 1. In the use position, the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 are spread away from one another. In the use position, the baby basket 1 can be used. In the use position, a receiving space 5 is formed, which is arranged between the receptacle 2 and the frame 3. The receiving space 5 serves to receive the baby.FIG. 2 shows the embodiment of the baby basket 1 when it is in a storage position. In this storage position, the baby basket 1 can be transported or stored in a space-saving manner. In the storage position, the baby basket 1 is folded and requires less space. The baby basket 1 can be placed in the storage position when it is not used. In the storage position, the receptacle 2 and the frame 3 are close to one another, so that the baby basket 1 takes up only little space.According to the present exemplary embodiment, the spreading mechanism 4 comprises at least one spreading element 7, 8. Two spreading elements 7, 8 are shown here, namely a first spreading element 7 and a second spreading element 8. In addition, the two spreading elements 7, 8 can prevent the frame 3 from tilting relative to the receptacle 2 during spreading. The two spreading elements 7, 8 are spaced apart from one another.The at least one spreading element 7, 8, as can be seen here with reference to the two spreading elements 7, 8, is designed as a bracket, in particular as a metal bracket. The at least one spreading element 7, 8 can be U-shaped. The baby is then located in the spreading element 7, 8 or the at least one spreading element 7, 8 extends around the baby.The at least one spreading element 7, 8 is furthermore mounted on the frame 3 by means of at least one pivot joint 9, 10. Additionally or alternatively, the at least one spreading element 7, 8 can be mounted on the receptacle 2 by means of the at least one rotary joint 9, 10.Advantageously, the at least one spreading element 7, 8 is mounted on the frame 3 and / or on the receptacle 2 by means of two rotary joints 9, 10. In this exemplary embodiment, each spreading element 7, 8 is mounted by means of two rotary joints 9, 10. However, due to the perspective view shown here, only one pivot joint 9, 10 of both spreading elements 7, 8 is shown. The first rotary joint 9 is assigned to the first spreading element 7 and the second rotary joint 10 is assigned to the second spreading element 8. Two swivel joints 9, 10 are assigned to each of the two spreading elements 7, 8.With the aid of the pivotability of the at least one spreading element 7, 8, these can be folded in, as can be seen in FIG. 2. As a result, the baby basket 1 can be folded together in a space-saving manner and brought into the storage position. When the baby basket 1 or the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 are brought into the use position, the at least one spreading element 7, 8 can be rotated.Features which are already described in the at least one preceding figure cannot be explained again for the sake of simplicity. Furthermore, features can also be described only in this or in at least one of the following figures. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, the same reference numerals are used for the same features. Moreover, for the sake of clarity, not all features can be shown in the following figures and / or provided with a reference sign. However, features shown in one or more of the preceding figures may also be present in this or in one or more of the following figures. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, features can also be shown only in this figure or in one or more of the following figures and / or be provided with a reference sign. Nevertheless, features which are only shown in one or more of the following figures may also already be present in this or a preceding figure.FIG. 3 now shows the baby basket 1, which preferably comprises at least one pulling unit 12. With the aid of the traction unit 12, a traction force can be formed which acts between frame 3 and receptacle 2. The pulling force pulls the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 together. As a result, the baby basket 1 or the frame 3 for receiving 2 is fixed in the use position. The pulling unit 12 pulls the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 together and additionally exerts the pulling force on the spreading mechanism 4. As a result, the baby basket 1 can be prevented from collapsing.According to the present exemplary embodiment, the traction unit 12 comprises at least one traction element 13- 15. In this exemplary embodiment, three traction elements 13- 15 are shown, namely a first traction element 13, a second traction element 14 and a third traction element 15.According to the present exemplary embodiment, the at least one tension element 13- 15 can be designed as a spring element and / or as a rubber element.The at least one tension element 13- 15 can be fixed to the frame 3 and / or to the receptacle 2. For example, the at least one tension element 13- 15 can be suspended, firmly bound, screwed and / or clamped to the frame 3 and / or to the receptacle 2.FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the baby basket 1, in which the pulling unit 12 is and / or comprises a delimiting unit 16. With the aid of the limiting unit 16, which runs around the baby basket 1, in particular completely, it is possible to prevent the baby from falling out of the baby basket 1. The delimiting unit 16 extends between frame 3 and receptacle 2 and extends at least in sections in the circumferential direction around the baby basket 1.The delimiting unit 16 can be designed, for example, in the form of a grid. Additionally or alternatively, the delimiting unit 16 can also be designed, in particular at least in sections, as a closed surface. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the delimiting unit 16 is made of a textile material, for example a fabric, and / or cloth-shaped. This also ensures that a risk of injury to the baby is avoided.The limiting unit 16 can advantageously be arranged between the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 in such a way that the limiting unit 16 is tensioned in the use position. The limiting unit 16, for example if it is designed as a cloth and / or from a fabric or a textile material, can be elastic, so that the limiting unit 16, when it is tensioned between the receptacle 2 and the frame 3, generates the tensile force.FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the traction unit 12 comprises the at least one traction element 13- 15 and the limiting unit 16.In this exemplary embodiment, the tension elements 13- 15 and the delimiting unit 16 are shown. The delimiting unit 16 can also be designed here such that it does not form a tensile force, since the at least one tension element 13- 15 is present.FIG. 6 shows a more detailed view of the receptacle 2. the receptacle 2 comprises at least one fixing mechanism 17, 18 by means of which the spreading mechanism 4 and / or the at least one spreading element 7, 8 can be fixed. Here, two fixing mechanisms 17, 18 are shown, a first fixing mechanism 17 and a second fixing mechanism 18.In this exemplary embodiment, the at least one fixing mechanism 17, 18 comprises a groove 19, 20 in which the at least one spreading element 7, 8 can be arranged.According to the present exemplary embodiment, the first fixing mechanism 17 comprises a first groove 19 and the second fixing mechanism 18 comprises a second groove 20.Furthermore, the two grooves 19, 20 each have a groove opening 23, 24. The first groove 19 has the first groove opening 23 and the second groove 20 has the second groove opening 24. The two groove openings 23, 24 face each other, as can be seen here, or face a center of the receptacle 2. As a result, the two spreading elements 7, 8 can be inserted into the respective groove 19, 20 from the direction of the center of the receptacle 2. The first spreading element 7 can be fixed in the first groove 19 and the second spreading element 8 can be fixed in the second groove 20.Furthermore, each fixing mechanism 17, 18 is assigned a guide unit 21, 22, which is designed here as a guide surface and / or as a slide surface. The corresponding spreading element 7, 8 can be guided and / or slid over the guide surface and / or the slide surface in order to reach the corresponding fixing mechanism 17, 18 or the corresponding groove 19, 20. As can be seen here, the guide units 21, 22 are arranged between the associated fixing mechanism 17, 18 or the associated groove 19, 20 and the means of the receptacle 2. The spreading elements 7, 8 are thus guided from the center of the receptacle 2 to the fixing mechanisms 17, 18.Furthermore, each fixing mechanism 17, 18 is assigned a protrusion 25, 26. Additionally or alternatively, a first elevation 25 is assigned to the first groove 19 and a second elevation 26 is assigned to the second groove 20. The elevations 25, 26 can prevent the spreading elements 7, 8 from being pushed over the corresponding grooves 19, 20. The two elevations 25, 26 are namely formed higher than the associated guide units 21, 22 or the associated guide surfaces and / or the sliding surfaces. The elevations 25, 26 thus serve as a stop.In order to prevent the spreading elements 7, 8 from being pushed over the grooves 19, 20 when they are moved from the direction of the center of the receptacle 2 to the fixing mechanisms 17, 18, the elevations 25, 26 are arranged on the side of the fixing mechanisms 17, 18 and / or of the grooves 19, 20 facing away from the center of the receptacle 2.For the stability or the dimensional stability of the baby basket 1 in the use position, the orientation shown in FIG. 1 and / or the fixing mechanisms 17, 18 shown in FIG. 5 is advantageous. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3-5, the spreading elements 7, 8 are arranged obliquely. A distance between the two spreading elements 7, 8 in the region of the receptacle 2 is greater than a distance between the two spreading elements 7, 8 in the region of the frame 3. The tensile force acting on the spreading elements 7, 8 by the tension unit 12 presses the spreading elements 7, 8 not perpendicularly onto the receptacle 2, but at the angle shown here. In the side views of FIGS. 3-5, the spreading elements 7, 8 are oriented obliquely to the receptacle 2. The spreading elements 7, 8 are supported on the receptacle 2 towards the outside.On the one hand, the spreading elements 7, 8 are consequently pressed into the grooves 19, 20 of FIG. 6. On the other hand, a force must be exerted in order to displace the spreading elements 7, 8 arranged in the grooves 19, 20 back to the center of the receptacle 2. In this case, the spreading elements 7, 8 must first be brought into an orientation perpendicular to the receptacle 2. In this orientation of the spreading elements 7, 8, however, the tensile force of the pulling unit 12 is at a maximum, since here the spreading elements 7, 8 spread apart or press apart the frame 3 and the receptacle 2 the furthest. This serves as a securing mechanism which prevents the spreading elements 7, 8 from being automatically displaced out of the fixing mechanisms 17, 18 toward the center of the receptacle 2.List of reference characters1 Baby basket 2 Holder 3 Frame 4 Spreading mechanism 5 Receiving space 6 Carrying handle 7 First spreading element 8 Second spreading element 9 First rotary joint 10 Second rotary joint 11 Ventilation opening 12 Pulling unit 13 First pulling element 14 Second pulling element 15 Third pulling element 16 Limiting unit 17 First fixing mechanism 18 Second fixing mechanism 19 First groove 20 Second groove 21 First guide unit 22 Second guide unit 23 First groove opening 24 Second groove opening 25 First elevation 26 Second elevationReferences included in the specificationThis list of documents cited by the applicant has been produced in an automated manner and is only included for the better information of the reader.
