[0004] Children's bed, especially baby crib, with telescopic legs

[0005] Description

[0006] The invention relates to a children's bed, in particular a baby crib, with telescopic legs.

[0007] Children's beds, especially cribs, for the (lying) placement of children, particularly babies, are generally known. These often have four legs. It is also common to find that the legs are telescopic, allowing the height of the crib or crib to be adjusted. Adjusting such cribs or cribs is considered relatively complicated.

[0008] It is therefore a particular object of the invention to propose a children's bed, in particular a baby crib, and a corresponding method, wherein the height can be adjusted in a comparatively simple manner, particularly in terms of design and / or operation.

[0009] This problem is solved in particular by the features of claim 1.

[0010] In particular, the problem is solved according to a first aspect by a crib, especially a baby cot, comprising at least a first telescopic leg and a second telescopic leg, each having at least an upper telescopic section and a lower telescopic section, wherein the lower telescopic sections are connected to each other via a transverse connecting section (especially a connecting web) spaced from a lower end of the telescopic legs. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0011] 2

[0012] A transverse connecting section of this type allows for the simple synchronization of the movement of lower telescopic sections. In particular, if the transverse connecting section is spaced away from the lower end of the telescopic legs, a relatively simple solution can be achieved, which is further characterized by the fact that the transverse connecting section does not obstruct movement or create a tripping hazard.

[0013] According to a second aspect of the invention, the problem is solved in particular by a crib, in particular a baby cot, in particular according to the first aspect, comprising at least a first telescopic leg and a second telescopic leg, each having at least an upper telescopic section and a lower telescopic section, wherein the upper telescopic section and the lower telescopic section overlap in an area (in a side view or(viewed from a horizontal direction) overlap, wherein one of the lower and the upper telescope section surrounds the other of the lower and the upper telescope section in the overlap area and has an opening, in particular a slot, from which a (radial) projection, in particular a (radially) projecting fastening device, of the other of the lower and upper telescope section emerges or can emerge during a relative displacement of the lower and upper telescope section.

[0014] According to the second aspect, a (radially) projecting fastening device is preferably proposed, which can extend from the complementary telescope section during the relative displacement of the lower and upper telescope sections, so that it is and remains accessible during this displacement. In particular, a fastening can be provided that functions (at least over a certain displacement distance) independently of the specific relative position of the lower and upper telescope sections to each other. Specifically, a child intake device can always remain connected to the telescope section having the (protruding) fastening device, regardless of this relative position.

[0015] The aforementioned problem is further solved according to a third aspect, in particular by a crib, preferably a baby cot, preferably according to the first and / or second aspect, comprising at least a first telescopic leg and a second telescopic leg, each of which has at least one upper MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0016] 3

[0017] comprising a telescopic section and a lower telescopic section, wherein the upper telescopic section and the lower telescopic section overlap in an overlap area, the lower telescopic section surrounding the upper telescopic section in the overlap area.

[0018] A consideration of the third aspect is that, unlike in the prior art, the upper telescopic section does not surround the lower telescopic section, but rather the lower telescopic section surrounds the upper telescopic section. This allows the respective lower telescopic section to be equipped with attachments (in particular a transverse connecting section, preferably according to the first aspect) that are then out of the way, since the upper telescopic section can be inserted into the lower telescopic section (and not vice versa, as in the prior art). This further simplifies handling.

[0019] The following statements apply (independently of each other) to the first, second and third aspects (each), unless the context indicates otherwise.

[0020] The upper and (associated) lower telescope sections preferably overlap (when viewed from the side or from a horizontal direction), preferably in any possible position. Depending on the relative position of the upper and (associated) lower telescope sections, this overlap area is larger or smaller.

[0021] A transverse connecting section is in particular a connection that runs from one lower telescope section (laterally) towards the other lower telescope section.

[0022] The transverse connecting section can essentially (in a usage configuration of the crib) run horizontally or have an angle to the horizontal of greater than 0 degrees, optionally at least 5 degrees or at least 20 degrees and / or at most 50 degrees, preferably at most 30 degrees.

[0023] According to the first aspect, the transverse connecting section should be spaced away from a lower end of the telescopic legs. This includes, in particular, the MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC.

[0024] 4. It is understood that the transverse connecting section does not connect directly to the lower end of the telescopic legs, but (in at least one operating condition) is at least 10 cm or at least 25 cm and / or at most 80 cm or at most 50 cm away from the lower end (or the ground). When the distance of one element relative to another is mentioned here and subsequently, this refers in particular to the distance of the pair of points (where one point is located on one element and the other point on the other element) that has the smallest distance between them among all possible pairs of points.

[0025] With respect to the lower telescopic section itself, the transverse connecting section can be located in a middle or (preferably) upper third of the lower telescopic section. With respect to the (maximum possible) overall height of the crib, particularly the baby cot, the transverse connecting section (or, in the state of use, its lowest point) can be located in one of the middle quarters, preferably in the middle third, of the overall extension (at the maximum height setting).

[0026] The lower telescopic section can rest directly on the ground (in use) or be connected to a foot element (in particular a comparatively short one, preferably with a height extension of less than 10 cm or 5 cm) (which in turn can rest directly on the ground, in use).

[0027] According to the second aspect, the projection(s) of the fastening device may have protruded, or at least be capable of protruding, during the relative movement of the lower and upper telescopic sections. The latter can be achieved, for example, by the projection(s) of the fastening device being radially displaceable, so that they only actually protrude from the opening (in particular, the slot) in a specific state. The opening, in particular the slot, preferably has a length of at least 5 cm, preferably at least 20 cm and / or at most 80 cm or at most 50 cm.

[0028] If (according to the third aspect) the lower telescope section surrounds the upper telescope section in the overlap area, this means in particular that at least 60% of the overlap area is covered, preferably at least by MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0029] 5

[0030] 80% of the circumference of the respective inner telescope section is covered by the respective outer telescope section.

[0031] The crib can have at least or exactly four legs. Each of the (possibly four) legs of the crib is preferably telescopic. Two (or more) legs can be connected to each other at the base (via one, or possibly more, transverse connection). Preferably, none of the legs is connected to another leg at the base (or close to the base, in particular at a distance of less than 10 cm or less than 5 cm).

[0032] A transverse connection (for joining two legs) has the fundamental advantage that it allows both legs to be moved synchronously. With four legs, this means that instead of four operations, only two operations are needed to adjust the height.

[0033] The crib may have a top (or surrounding) frame. All (or at least the majority) of the crib's load may be suspended from this top frame. It may be possible to forgo a load-bearing connection between the crib and the legs below the top frame.

[0034] The child support device can be connected to the frame (comprising the respective leg) of the child's bed via two connections per leg, in particular by means of an upper connection and a lower connection. In such a case, the upper connection is, for example, a load-bearing connection, and the lower connection is not a load-bearing connection, but rather a connection that serves only to position the child support device (especially if it is not rigid, or possibly not completely rigid). The lower connection is or preferably comprises a connecting element that is at least partially dimensionally unstable (for example, formed by a cord, rope, strap and / or cable, or other, in particular flexible, long material and / or flexible element).

[0035] Specifically, a non-load-bearing connection to the respective leg can be provided, with a lying surface of the child's receiving device extending from a respective corner (e.g., with, in particular, a tensioned strap or other MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC).

[0036] 6 flexible long material) attached to the respective leg (in the case of telescopic design, especially at the lower end of the upper telescopic section) to increase stability.

[0037] A cross-section of each telescopic leg and / or upper telescopic section and / or lower telescopic section has a length (as the distance between the pair of points that are furthest apart within the cross-section) and a width (as the maximum extent of the respective element in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction defined by the length). The length-to-width ratio should be at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.8, and / or at most 2, preferably at most 1.5.

[0038] Preferably, only one (longitudinally extending) opening, preferably a slot, is provided in the respective lower telescopic section, or at least only one opening (or slot) that has a length of more than 5 cm or more than 10 cm. This simplifies manufacturing. In particular, if a pair of telescopic legs is already provided (at each end of the child intake device), sufficient positioning and stable guidance can still be easily achieved through the respective opening (slot).

[0039] A lower connection point for the child restraint system to the respective telescopic leg (i.e., in particular, the location where a connecting element, especially a lower one, is arranged, particularly attached, to the respective telescopic leg) is preferably located below the child restraint system, in particular at least 2 cm or at least 5 cm below the level of the underside of the child restraint system. In such a consideration, any connecting elements (in particular the dimensionally unstable connections / connecting elements described above) should not be considered part of the child restraint system.

[0040] The lower connection can include the fastening device described above.

[0041] Each pair of lower telescope sections, together with the transverse connecting section, can form the shape of an inverted U (with the two MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0042] 7 lower telescope sections and a transverse leg arranged at the top of the lower telescope sections).

[0043] In order to move the respective upper telescopic section relative to the respective lower telescopic section in such an embodiment, it can be ensured that the transverse leg (or generally the aforementioned transverse connecting section) is not in the way.

[0044] In some designs, the upper telescopic section may have an opening (e.g., a slot) that accommodates the transverse connecting section during movement. To allow this opening (slot) to be relatively narrow, the transverse connecting section (cross leg) can be relatively thin, at least or only in the relevant area. It is also conceivable that the transverse connecting section (cross leg) has a thinning in the area where it passes through the slot when the telescopic sections are moved relative to each other.

[0045] A preferred solution is one in which the upper telescopic section is inserted into the lower telescopic section, such that the lower telescopic section at least partially (and in particular at least substantially completely) surrounds the upper telescopic section. In this case, the transverse connecting section does not obstruct the movement of the two sections. However, it was recognized that another problem can arise: a connection (in particular the lower connection described above) between the child restraint device and the upper telescopic section (in particular a lower end of the upper telescopic section) can obstruct the insertion of the upper telescopic section into the lower telescopic section.This problem can be solved or at least alleviated in a particularly simple way by providing the lower telescopic section with an opening (slot) in which a section of such a connection can be moved, thus allowing both a (desired) displacement of the upper telescopic section within the lower telescopic section and a (likewise desired) connection of the child intake device to the upper telescopic section (especially at a lower end thereof, preferably via a dimensionally unstable or flexible connecting element). In this context, it was also recognized that a connection (fastening) cannot simply be made at an upper end of the lower telescopic section, since this – depending on the MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC –

[0046] 8. The set leg length may be at a different height compared to the child reception facility (so that the distance of a lying surface of the child reception facility to the upper (circulating) frame may also change).

[0047] At least one upper telescopic section (or each upper telescopic section) can be connected, particularly at its lower end, to a child receiving device, particularly to a lower end section thereof, via a connecting element. The connecting element can be guided within the lower telescopic section and / or by means of the lower telescopic section when the upper telescopic section is moved relative to the lower telescopic section.

[0048] The connecting element can be accommodated (at least partially) in the lower telescopic leg of the crib in at least one configuration and / or be movable within the lower telescopic leg. In particular, the connecting element can be accommodated (partially) in a slot of the lower telescopic leg or be movable within it.

[0049] The connecting element may include a first connecting element associated with the upper telescopic section, in particular in the form of an eyelet and / or a ring or hook and / or mushroom (with a mushroom stem and a mushroom head projecting beyond it). Generally, the first connecting element may be rigid (alternatively flexible and / or dimensionally unstable or flexibly bendable).

[0050] The connecting element may alternatively or additionally include a second connecting element assigned to the child reception facility, in particular one that is dimensionally unstable and / or flexible (in particular formed by or comprising a rope, a strap, a belt, a cable and / or a cord).

[0051] The first connecting element (first fastener) associated with the upper telescope section can be permanently (in particular, not detachable without tools, possibly not detachable without destruction) connected or connectable to the upper telescope section. The first connecting element (as the first fastener) associated with the upper telescope section can be formed in one piece, possibly monolithically, or in multiple pieces, for example, comprising a hook or mushroom-shaped structure that is screwed and / or clipped and / or otherwise, MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0052] 9. In particular, it can be rigidly fixed or be made fixed. The first connecting element (as the first fastening means) associated with the upper telescopic section can comprise one or more of the following: ring and / or eyelet (for example, an upward and / or downward-opening hook), mushroom structure, rope, strap and / or buckle.

[0053] The second connecting element (second fastening means) associated with the child's receiving device (in particular the lying surface) can be connected or connectable, preferably detachably, to the first connecting element (first fastening means) associated with the upper telescopic section. It can be a rope, a strap, or other flexible connecting element, optionally forming or comprising a loop (e.g., for attaching to a hook or gripping the mushroom-shaped structure).

[0054] Alternatively or additionally, the second connecting element assigned to the child reception facility may include or be formed by a hook, eyelet, buckle or other fastening means.

[0055] In general, the (first and second) connecting elements (first and second fastening means) associated with the upper telescopic section or the child support device are preferably detachably, connectably, or linked to one another to bridge the gap between the lying surface (especially the corners of the lying surface) and the upper telescopic section. The dimensions, especially the length, are preferably such that the lying surface is braced in the direction of the (especially four) legs. According to the embodiment, at least two of the first and second connecting elements (fastening means) can be adjustable with respect to their length, for example, with a buckle mechanism (comprising, in particular, a strap and a buckle, for example, with a snap closure and / or with a pin to be inserted into a hole).

[0056] The first connecting element and the second connecting element can fully or partially form the fastening device described above.

[0057] The upper telescope section preferably overlaps the lower telescope section in an overlap area (viewed from the side). The lower MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0058] 10

[0059] The telescopic section surrounds the upper telescopic section, preferably in the overlap area.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the crib is designed to be foldable.

[0061] At least one or exactly one of the upper and lower telescopic sections can have a locking element, and the other of the upper and lower telescopic sections can have a plurality of locking receptacles for locking the respective telescopic leg into itself. One of the telescopic sections, preferably the lower telescopic section, can preferably have a separate element, in particular a separate sleeve, which is preferably designed with its own slot (sleeve slot). In a specific embodiment, the respective, in particular the lower, telescopic section can have an outer (essentially cylindrical, optionally circular-cylindrical) base body in which a cylindrical, in particular circular-cylindrical, separate element is received, which has the plurality of locking receptacles to enable locking.Such a design, particularly a two-part construction, simplifies manufacturing and / or protects the locking mechanism from external influences. The upper and / or lower telescopic section can each be formed by or comprise a tube (preferably round in cross-section, preferably circular).

[0062] The above-mentioned task is further solved in particular by a method for adjusting the height of a child's bed, as described above and / or below, whereby the length of the telescopic legs is changed.

[0063] Further embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0064] The invention is described below with regard to further features and advantages, which are explained in more detail using the following exemplary embodiment.

[0065] This shows:

[0075] Fig. 9 shows an exploded view of the lower telescope section and the upper telescope section; and

[0076] Fig. 10 shows an oblique view of the crib, partially in exploded view.

[0077] In the following description, the same reference numbers are used for identical and equivalent parts.

[0078] Fig. 1 shows an overall view of a crib (baby cot) in its used position. The crib has a frame 10 and a child support unit 11 (suspended from the frame).

[0079] The frame 10 has four telescopic legs 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d. The telescopic legs 11a and 11b, on the one hand, and the telescopic legs 11c and 11d, on the other hand, are each connected by a transverse connecting section (cross leg) 12.

[0080] The following section describes in detail primarily the telescopic leg 11a and, where it concerns a specific pair of telescopic legs, the pair 11a, 11b MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0081] 12 described. However, corresponding features should preferably also apply to the respective other telescopic legs or the pair of telescopic legs 11c, l ld.

[0082] The telescopic leg 11a has an upper telescopic section 13 and a lower telescopic section 14. The connecting section 12 is preferably arranged at an upper end of the lower telescopic section 14 (in particular at a distance of less than 10 cm or less than 5 cm from a topmost point of the lower telescopic section 14).

[0083] The child restraint system 11 has an upper edge 15 which is attached to, and in particular suspended from, the frame 10, in particular an upper, circumferential frame 16 (see Fig. 2). Preferably, the (entire) load of the child restraint system 11 is supported by this attachment. Furthermore, each telescopic leg, for example a telescopic leg 11a, is associated with a connecting element 18, which can be specifically attached to a lower end of the respective upper telescopic section 13 (not visible in Fig. 1, explained in detail below). However, what is already visible in Fig. 1 is that the attachment of the connecting elements 18 is positioned below a level of a lower surface 19 of the child restraint system 11.

[0084] The children's reception facility 11 can have a lying area 20 and (four) side walls 17.

[0085] The child reception facility is preferably (at least substantially, possibly up to the lying surface, which may, for example, comprise one or more plate-shaped elements) made of a soft good, in particular comprising or formed by a flexible surface material, in particular a textile, possibly including padding, for example with foam.

[0086] In Fig. 1, the upper telescopic section 13 and the lower telescopic section 14 are in a maximally extended position. The (upper) frame 16 and the lying surface 20 are covered by soft goods and / or connected (only) by these. The connecting means 18 prevent or reduce, in particular, the possibility of the lying surface 20 swaying (to a significant degree) and / or being accidentally lifted. For this purpose, the lying surface is preferably braced at each of the four corners to the nearest telescopic leg 11-112. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0087] 13

[0088] The lying surface 20 can be formed by at least one (at least essentially) dimensionally stable plate-shaped element or comprise one which may be provided with padding.

[0089] Fig. 2 shows a side view of the crib according to Fig. 1, but without covers or soft goods. It can be seen that the upper frame 16 is foldable. Specifically, the upper frame 16 has struts on each long side, which are connected (in the middle) by a (4-way) joint 21. With a 4-way joint, 2x2 parallel struts can be provided. Alternatively, a double joint can be omitted, and a 2-way joint can be provided. In any case, a single joint can be provided, so that, for example, several struts pivot about a common axis.

[0090] The opposite ends of the struts can be connected to the nearest upper telescopic section via a joint (in particular a double joint 22).

[0091] Fig. 3 shows a side view of the child intake device according to Fig. 2, but in an intermediate position. It can be seen that the lying surface 20 is foldable (and has a hinge 23 in the transverse direction for this purpose). The folding of the upper frame 16 is also now visible. Preferably, the lying surface 20 and the upper frame 16 fold (with respect to the vertical) in opposite directions.

[0092] Fig. 4 shows a side view of the crib according to Fig. 2, but in a further (fully folded) intermediate position. The undersides of the lying surface sections are abutting each other. The upper struts of the upper frame section 16 are also abutting each other. The telescopic legs 11a, 11b are (only) separated from each other by their respective joints, thus approaching each other as closely as possible.

[0093] Fig. 5 shows a side view of the crib according to Fig. 2, but in a storage position. The upper telescopic sections 13 are now pushed in as far as they can relative to the lower telescopic sections 14.

[0094] The possibility of folding the upper frame 16 and / or the lying surface 20 can be structurally and functionally independent of the telescopic mechanism of the telescopic legs lla-lld described above, so that versions with MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0095] 14

[0096] Telescopic mechanisms and versions without folding (or with a differently designed folding mechanism) are possible.

[0097] Fig. 6 shows an oblique view of a section of the crib according to Fig. 2. It can be seen that the lower telescopic sections 14 each have an opening (slot) 24 on their inner sides, in which a first fastening element 25 (only hinted at, shown in detail in the following figures) is guided and to which a second fastening element 26 (shown schematically here as a rope) is connected. The first fastening element 25 is located at the upper end of the opening 24 in Fig. 6.

[0098] Fig. 7 shows a view analogous to Fig. 6, but with the upper telescopic section 13 (not yet fully) retracted. The first fastening element 25 is accordingly shifted downwards in the opening 24. The position shown can be an (alternative) usage configuration if the maximum height is not desired or required.

[0099] Fig. 8 shows a detailed view from Fig. 2 (in section). The first fastening element 25 and the second fastening element 26 are now more clearly visible. The first fastening element can, in particular, be formed by a hook, the second fastening element by a flexible element.

[0100] Fig. 9 shows a partial exploded view of the lower telescope section 14 and the upper telescope section 13. The lower telescope section 14 comprises a base body 27 with a (comparatively wide) base slot 28 and a cover 29 for the base slot 28 with the (comparatively narrow) opening (slot) 24. Furthermore, the lower telescope section 14 preferably has a foot (preferably in the form of a plug) 30.

[0101] The lower telescopic section 14 can have a sleeve 31 with a (downwardly open) sleeve slot 32 and optionally a stop bead 33.

[0102] The base body 27 is preferably made of metal (steel and / or aluminum and / or aluminum alloy) to a weight of at least 50 wt.% or at least 90 wt.%. Alternatively or additionally, the sleeve 31 is made of plastic (polymer) to a weight of at least 50 wt.% or at least 90 wt.%. This allows for a reliable and technically simple solution to be achieved in a straightforward manner (MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC).

[0103] 15. In particular, metal-on-metal contact is prevented, which can reduce play and / or noise.

[0104] Fig. 10 again shows the crib in an oblique view (compared to Fig. 1 without covers). The lower telescopic section 14 is separated from the upper telescopic section 13. The upper frame 16 includes (at least approximately in the middle) an actuating element 34 on its transverse side (i.e., between the upper telescopic sections 14 of the telescopic legs 11a and 11b). The actuating element 34 can specifically be designed as a push button (arranged on an underside and / or actuated upwards), but in general it can also be designed, for example, as a slider, rotary knob, lever, or the like.

[0105] The actuating element 34 can be guided in a housing 35 (and optionally pre-tensioned in a locked position, in particular from the housing, by a spring device not shown) and connected in the housing 35 (in a manner not shown in detail here) to a transmission element 36 (preferably a cable, more preferably a wire rope and / or Bowden cable).

[0106] The transmission element 36 can be guided into the (respective) upper telescope section 13 (more precisely in an overlap area which is encompassed by the lower telescope section in each of at least two different height positions) and connected there with a latch (where the term latch is to be understood generically here and also includes, for example, pins, bolts or other engagement elements).

[0107] The upper telescopic section 13 has an opening in the overlap area through which the bolt (preferably made of metal) can extend outwards and / or be retracted into the upper telescopic section 13. A guide element (preferably made of plastic) is also preferably located in the overlap area, which guides the movement of the bolt (rotation and / or translation) and in which a spring (not shown) may be located that biases the bolt towards a locked position.

[0108] It can also be seen that the sleeve 31 in the lower telescopic section 14 has a plurality of recesses 40 (specifically: four) into which the bolt can engage when it is in the locked position. Alternatively or additionally MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-417-PC

[0109] 16 The lower telescopic section 14 can also be designed with corresponding recesses (although this may be more complex in terms of circuitry, at least in the case of a recess and / or less protected and possibly less visually appealing, in the case of through holes).

[0110] Preferably, a corresponding mechanism is provided in the associated telescopic leg 11a (of the same pair of telescopic legs 11a, 11d) (not shown), wherein both sides can share the actuating element 36.

[0111] It should be noted here that all parts described above, considered individually and in any combination, especially the details shown in the drawings, are claimed as essential to the invention. Modifications to this are familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0112] Furthermore, it is noted that the broadest possible scope of protection is sought.
