Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to a child's bed. [Background technology]

[0002] Children's beds, also known as cribs, are widely used. Specifically, children's beds / cribs are baby products that provide caregivers with convenient care for babies and allow them to rest. Currently, there are many cribs on the market with different shapes, structures, and folding principles.

[0003] To make it easier for caregivers to care for babies in children's beds, adjustable handrails are installed on the side of the bed. When using the bed, the handrail on the caregiver's side can be adjusted to the lowest position. If there is only one adjustable handrail on one side, the caregiver on the side without the adjustable handrail will have to rotate the bed 180 degrees to care for the baby from the side with the handrail, which will be inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary 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. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Although the invention has been illustrated and described herein with reference to specific embodiments, the invention should not be limited to the details shown. Indeed, many modifications of these details may be made within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims without departing from the invention.

[0021] The directions of "front", "rear", "upper" and "lower" described in this specification are for ease of understanding only. The present invention is not limited to these directions and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances. Although this application will be described with reference to exemplary embodiments, the terms used are illustrative and not limiting.

[0022] 1-4, a child's bed 1 according to the present application will be generally described. The child's bed 1 includes a frame 100 and a bottom shroud encased under the frame 100. However, the bottom shroud is not shown in order to clearly show the other parts of the child's bed 1.

[0023] In the illustrated embodiment, the child's bed 1 is generally rectangular in plan view. The frame 100 includes two end plates 180, two top topside rods 120, and two bottom side rods 130. When viewed vertically, the child's bed 1 is generally rectangular, with the top topside rods 120 located on the two long sides of the child's bed 1 and two end plates 180 located at either end of each topside rod 20.

[0024] However, in another embodiment, the child's bed 1 may have a different shape. As long as the child's bed 1 has two opposing sides, the side rod structure provided in the present disclosure can be used. Therefore, the end plate 180 can be replaced with an arc plate or the like. In another embodiment, the frame 100 includes four vertical rods, and the four vertical rods are arranged at both ends of each top side rod 120.

[0025] In this embodiment, an end plate 180 is provided at each corner 101 of the frame 100. Two top top side rods 120 extend longitudinally and are arranged laterally opposite each other on the end plate 180, and each top side rod 20 can slide vertically between a high position and a low position relative to the end plate 180. More specifically, the high position and the low position of the top top side rod 120 can correspond to the upper end and lower end of the end plate 180, respectively. In this manner, when one top top side rod 120 is in the high position, the side of the top side rod 20 of the child's bed 1 where the top side rod is in the high position is closed. Conversely, when one top top side rod 120 is in the low position, the side of the top side rod 20 of the child's bed 1 where the top side rod is in the low position is open.

[0026] The two bottom side rods 130 are parallel to the corresponding top 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 top side rod 120 and a corresponding side pull rod 140.

[0027] The two side pull rods 140 extend in the longitudinal direction and are arranged below the respective top top side rods 120 so as to face each other laterally, and each side pull rod 140 is slidable laterally toward the opposing side pull rod 140. Each of the two side shrouds 150 is connected between the top 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] When viewed vertically, each end plate 180 is generally U-shaped, i.e., it includes an end plate horizontal portion 182 and two end plate vertical portions, each connected to two horizontal ends of the end plate horizontal portion 182 (shown in FIG. 5 ). The end plate's longitudinal portions extend longitudinally and vertically and are also referred to as vertical support members 183. The vertical support members 183 are located at the corners 101 of the frame 100. Each vertical support member 183 extends toward one of the top topside rods 120 and has a vertically extending chute 184, through which both ends of the top topside rod 120 can be inserted and slid vertically along the chute 184.

[0029] The top top side rod 120, the bottom side rod 130, and the side pull rod 140 may 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 an approximately rectangular and planar shape. When one of the side pull rods 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, 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 rows.

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

[0032] The two tightening mechanisms 160 each pull one of the side pull rods 140 toward the other. Because the side pull rods 140 are located on the bottom of the children's bed 1, it is difficult for the caregiver to directly operate the side pull rods 140. Each tightening mechanism 160 is used to assist the caregiver in dragging the side pull rod 140 from one side to the other and dragging the corresponding top side rod 120 to a lower position.

[0033] In this embodiment, each tightening mechanism 160 includes two sets of elastic members corresponding to the two side pull rods 140, respectively. The elastic members of each set are connected between the middle region of the corresponding side pull rod 140 and the lower ends of two vertical support members 183 located on the opposite side, in the form of two non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid. A hook may be provided at each lower end of the vertical support members 183 to connect 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 may be connected to the corners 101, or the elastic members may be connected to the corners 101 and indirectly connected to the lower ends of the vertical support members 183. Each set of elastic members may include two tension springs.

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

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2 , in a preferred embodiment, the top-side rod 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 mechanisms 121 are provided at both ends of the top-side rod 120 and are used to lock the top-side rod 120 to the vertical support member 183 or unlock the top-side rod 120 so that the top-side rod 120 can slide vertically relative to the vertical support member 183. For example, the locking device may include a pin provided at the end of the top-side rod 120 and extending toward the vertical support member 183. Accordingly, the vertical support member 183 may be provided with a pin hole for receiving the pin. When the pin protrudes from the vertical support member 183 and is inserted into the pin hole, the top-side rod 120 is locked to the vertical support member 183, 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 provided at the middle of the top-side rod 120. A drag member 123 is connected between the locking mechanism 121 and the unlocking mechanism 122, and the locking mechanism 121 can be unlocked by operating the unlocking mechanism 122 to drive and move the drag member 123. In one embodiment, the unlocking mechanism 122 is a gripping handle, and the drag member 123 is a cable. When a user grips the handle and pulls the drag member 123 toward the middle of the top-side rod 120, the drag member 123 can drive the unlocking mechanism 122 to pull back toward the top-side rod 120.

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

[0038] As shown in FIG. 4 , the two clamping mechanisms 160 are located at the bottom of the frame 100 and are vertically separated by a partition plate 170 installed at the bottom of the frame 100. Otherwise, the two clamping mechanisms 160 may interfere with each other and become entangled even without the partition plate 170. The arrangement of the partition plate 170 effectively prevents interference between the two clamping mechanisms 160. In one embodiment, the partition plate 170 is installed across the entire bottom of the frame 100, i.e., the two lateral sides of the partition plate 170 extend to the two bottom side rods 130, respectively, and both sides of the partition plate 170 extend to the lower ends of the two end plates 180 of the frame 100, respectively. The partition plate 170 can be fixed to crossbars 190 at the bottom ends of the lateral sides 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 divider 170 does not need to span the entire bottom of the frame 100, and optionally, the divider 170 occupies only a partial area of ​​the bottom of the frame 100 to separate the two clamping mechanisms 160.

[0039] 5 to 7 show one of the top side rods 120 moving to a lower position. As the top top side rod 120 moves from the higher position to the lower 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 roughly along the side surface (as shown in FIG. 4) to a state in which the side shroud 150 extends along the side and bottom surfaces in a zigzag pattern, and finally to a final state in which the side shroud 150 extends roughly along the bottom surface (as shown in FIG. 6). Due to the dimensional difference between the side and bottom surfaces of the frame 100, the side shroud 150 may not completely contact the bottom surface, and the side pull rod 140 may not move completely to the opposite side. When the top 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 FIGS. 5 to 7.

[0040] Referring to Figure 8, it shows that the two top side rods 120 have all been moved to the low position. According to the above description, it can be seen that the movements of the top top side rods 120, the side pull rods 140, and the side shrouds 150 on both sides do not interfere with each other. Caregivers can arbitrarily position the top top side rod 120 on one side, or position the top top side rods 120 on both sides in a high or low position according to the actual embodiment.

[0041] Therefore, the present invention provides a children's bed with height-adjustable top side rods on both sides. Furthermore, both top side rods of the present invention are equipped with clamping mechanisms, so the clamping mechanisms on both sides do not interfere with each other. Therefore, the children's bed of the present invention makes it easy to adjust the height of the two top side rods.

[0042] Because the present application may be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and substance of the present application, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited to the details set forth above, but should be interpreted in the broadest sense within the scope of the claims. Accordingly, all modifications that come within the scope of the claims or their equivalents are intended to be covered by the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
