Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a children's bed.

Background Art

[0002] Children's beds, also known as baby beds, are widely used. Specifically, a children's bed / baby bed is a baby product that is convenient for caregivers to take care of a baby and for the baby to rest. Currently, there are many baby beds on the market with different shapes, structures, and folding principles.

[0003] In order for a caregiver to easily take care of a baby inside a children's bed on the side of the children's bed, an adjustable handrail is installed on the side of the children's bed. When using the children's bed, the handrail on the caregiver's side can be adjusted to the lowest position. If only one handrail on one side can be adjusted, when the caregiver is on the side without an adjustable handrail, in order to take care of the baby from the side with a handrail, it is necessary to rotate the children's bed 180 degrees, which will cause inconvenience in use.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a children's bed with adjustable handrails on both sides, and the adjustable handrails on both sides do not interfere with each other.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] In this specification, the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to specific embodiments, but the present invention should not be limited to the illustrated details. Exactly, many modifications can be made to these details within an equivalent scope of the claims without departing from the present invention.

[0021] The descriptions of the directions of "front", "rear", "upper", and "lower" in this specification are only for easy understanding. The present invention is not limited to these directions and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. This application is described with reference to typical embodiments, but the terms used are exemplary and not limiting.

[0022] Refer to FIGS. 1 to 4. Generally, the children's bed 1 according to the present application will be described. The children's bed 1 includes a frame 100 and a bottom shroud wrapped under the frame 100. However, the bottom shroud is not shown to clearly show other parts of the children's bed 1.

[0023] In the illustrated embodiment, the children's bed 1 is generally rectangular when viewed from a plan view. The frame 100 includes two end plates 180, two top side rods 120, and two bottom side rods 130. When viewed from the vertical direction, the children's bed 1 is generally rectangular, and the top side rods 120 are arranged on two long sides of the children's bed 1, and the two end plates 180 are arranged at both ends of each top side rod 20 respectively.

[0024] However, in another embodiment, the child bed 1 may have a different shape. As long as the child bed 1 has two opposing sides, the side rod structure provided in this disclosure can be used. Thus, the end plate 180 can be replaced with an arc plate or the like. In another embodiment, the frame 100 includes four vertical rods, the four vertical rods being positioned at both ends of the respective top-top-side rods 120.

[0025] In this embodiment, the end plates 180 are provided at each corner 101 of the frame 100. Two top-side rods 120 extend in the longitudinal direction and are positioned laterally opposite to each other on the end plates 180, and each top-side rod 20 can slide vertically between a high position and a low position relative to the end plates 180. More specifically, the high and low positions of the top-side rods 120 can correspond to the upper and lower ends of the end plates 180, respectively. In this way, when one top-side rod 120 is in the high position, the side of the child bed 1 with the top-side rod in the high position is closed. Conversely, when one top-side rod 120 is in the low position, the side of the top-side rod 20 of the child bed 1 with the top-side rod in the low position is open.

[0026] The two bottom side rods 130 are parallel to their respective top side rods 120 and are fixed to a plastic member located at the lower end of the end plate 180. Each side shroud 150 bypasses one bottom side rod 130 from its underside and is connected between one top side rod 120 and a corresponding side pull rod 140.

[0027] Two side pull rods 140 extend longitudinally and are positioned below each top side rod 120, facing each other laterally, with each side pull rod 140 being slidable laterally toward the opposing side pull rod 140. Each of the two side shrouds 150 is connected between the top side rod 120 and the side pull rod 140 on the same side, and the lateral sliding of the side pull rod 140 drives the top side rod 120 on the same side to slide vertically.

[0028] Viewed from the vertical, each end plate 180 is typically U-shaped, that is, it includes a transverse end plate portion 182 and two longitudinal end plate portions, the two longitudinal end plate portions being connected to the two transverse ends of the transverse end plate portion 182 (shown in Figure 5). The longitudinal portion of the end plate extends both longitudinally and vertically and is also called a vertical support member 183. The vertical support members 183 are located at the corners 101 of the frame 100. Each vertical support member 183 extends toward one side of the top-top-side rod 120 and has a vertically extending chute 184 into which both ends of the top-top-side rod 120 are inserted and can slide vertically along the chute 184.

[0029] The top-top side rod 120, bottom side rod 130, and side pull rod 140 can have approximately the same length. Therefore, the side shroud 150 deployed between the top-top side rod 120 and the side pull rod 140 on the same side has a substantially rectangular and planar shape. When one side of the side pull rod 140 on one side is dragged to the opposite side, the top-top side rod 120 can be pulled to a lower position via the side shroud 150. Therefore, when the top-top side rod 120 is dragged to a higher position, the side pull rod 140 can be pulled back to the side where the corresponding top-top side rod 120 is located via the side shroud 150.

[0030] In this embodiment, the two end plates 180 are located at both ends of the frame 100 in the longitudinal direction. Each end plate 180 has a plurality of through holes 181, which are arranged in a staggered pattern along a plurality of horizontal rows.

[0031] The child bed 1 further includes legs 200. The legs 200 are located below the frame 100 to support the frame 100. Wheels 210 may be placed below each leg 200 to facilitate the movement of the child bed 1.

[0032] The two tightening mechanisms 160 each pull one side pull rod 140 towards the other side pull rod 140. Since the side pull rods 140 are located at the bottom of the child bed 1, it is difficult for a caregiver to operate the side pull rods 140 directly. Each tightening mechanism 160 is used to assist a caregiver in dragging the side pull rods 140 from one side to the other, thereby dragging the corresponding top-top side rods 120 to a lower position.

[0033] In this embodiment, each tightening mechanism 160 includes two sets of elastic members corresponding to two side pull rods 140, and each set of elastic members is connected in the form of two non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid between the intermediate region on the side of the corresponding side pull rod 140 and the lower ends of two vertical support members 183 located on the opposite side. Each lower end of the vertical support member 183 may be provided with a hook for connecting one of the elastic members so that the elastic member is directly connected to the vertical support member 183. The lower ends of the vertical support members 183 are connected to a corner 101, and the elastic members may be connected to the corner 101 and indirectly connected to the lower end of the vertical support member 83. Each set of elastic members may include two tension springs.

[0034] In other embodiments, the elastic members can be arranged to form a shape different from an isosceles trapezoid. For example, each set of elastic members may include two elastic members parallel to each other, with each elastic member connected between one side pull rod 140 and a bottom side rod 130 on opposite sides.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, in a preferred embodiment, the top-side rods 120 may include a locking device. Specifically, each top-side rod 120 may include a locking mechanism 121, an unlocking mechanism 122, and a drag member 123. The locking mechanism 121 is provided at both ends of the top-side rod 120 and locks the top-side rod 120 to the vertical support member 183, or unlocks it so that the top-side rod 120 can slide vertically relative to the vertical support member 83. For example, the locking device is provided at the end of the top-side rod 120 and includes a pin extending toward the vertical support member 183. Thus, the vertical support member 183 may be provided with a pinhole for receiving the pin. When the pin protrudes from the vertical support member 183 and is inserted into the pinhole, the top-side rod 120 is locked to the vertical support member 83, and when the pin retracts into the top-side rod 120, the top-side rod 120 can move relative to the vertical support member 183.

[0036] The unlocking mechanism 122 is located in the middle of the topside rod 120. A drag member 123 is connected between the locking mechanism 121 and the unlocking mechanism 122, and by operating the unlocking mechanism 122, the drag member 123 can be driven to move and the locking mechanism 121 can be unlocked. In one embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 122 is a gripping handle, and the drag member 123 is a cable. When the user grips the handle and pulls the drag member 123 towards the middle of the topside rod 120, the drag member 123 can be driven to pull the unlocking mechanism 122 back onto the topside rod 120.

[0037] The locking mechanism 121 can resist the pulling force of the tightening mechanism 160. When the locking mechanism 121 is released, the top-side rod 120 can automatically move to a lower position by the operation of the tightening mechanism 160.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4, the two clamping mechanisms 160 are located at the bottom of the frame 100 and are vertically separated by a partition plate 170 laid on the bottom of the frame 100. Otherwise, the two clamping mechanisms 160 would interfere with each other and could become entangled even without the partition plate 170. The arrangement of the partition plate 170 effectively avoids interference between the two clamping mechanisms 160. In one embodiment, the partition plate 170 is laid across the entire bottom of the frame 100, with two lateral sides of the partition plate 170 each extending to two bottom-side rods 130, and both sides of the partition plate 170 each extending to the lower ends of two end plates 180 of the frame 100. The partition plate 170 can be fixed to the crossbars 190 at the lateral bottom ends of the frame 100. Both ends of each crossbar 190 can be connected to the lower ends of two vertical support members 183, respectively. In other embodiments, the partition plate 170 does not need to be laid over the entire bottom of the frame 100; optionally, the partition plate 170 occupies only a portion of the bottom of the frame 100 to separate the two fastening mechanisms 160.

[0039] Referring to Figures 5 to 7, one of the top side rods 120 is shown moving to a lower position. In the process of the top side rod 120 moving from a high position to a low position, the side shroud 150 is wrapped around the outside of the bottom side rod 130. Therefore, the side shroud 150 transitions from a state in which the side shroud 150 extends almost along the side (as shown in Figure 4) to a state in which the side shroud 150 extends along the side and bottom in a zigzag pattern, and finally to the final state in which the side shroud 150 extends almost along the bottom (as shown in Figure 6). Due to the dimensional difference between the side and bottom of the frame 100, the side shroud 150 may not lay completely on the bottom, and the side pull rod 140 may not move completely to the opposite side. When the top side rod 120 moves to the bottom end of the end plate 180, the side pull rod 140 stops moving and does not reach the opposite side, resulting in the state shown in Figures 5 to 7.

[0040] Refer to Figure 8, which shows that both top-side rods 120 have moved to a lower position. As described above, it can be seen that the movement of the top-side rods 120, side-pull rods 140, and side-shrouds 150 on both sides does not interfere with each other. The caregiver can arbitrarily position the top-side rods 120 on one side, or position the top-side rods 120 on both sides in a high or low position, according to the actual embodiment.

[0041] Based on the above, the present invention provides a child's bed equipped with height-adjustable top-side rods on both sides. Furthermore, both top-side rods of the present invention are equipped with a tightening mechanism, and the tightening mechanisms on both sides do not interfere with each other. Therefore, the height of the two top-side rods of the child's bed of the present invention is convenient.

[0042] Since the present application can be embodied in various forms without departing from its spirit and substance, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are not limited to the details described above, but should be interpreted in the broadest sense within the scope of the claims. Accordingly, all modifications that fall within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
