[0005] Children's bed, especially baby crib

[0006] Description

[0007] The invention relates to a bed, in particular for children, preferably a baby crib.

[0008] Children's beds, especially cribs, for the (lying) placement of children, particularly babies, are generally known. These often have four legs. Adjusting such children's beds or cribs is considered relatively complicated. Furthermore, the flexibility of such children's beds or cribs is seen as needing improvement.

[0009] It is therefore a particular object of the invention to propose a crib, especially a baby crib, and a corresponding method, wherein the crib should be as easy to adjust as possible and / or be flexibly usable. This object is achieved in particular by the features of claim 1.

[0010] In particular, the problem according to a first aspect is solved by a crib, especially a baby cot, which can be transformed from a first configuration, especially a usage position, into at least one further configuration, especially a transport position, in which the dimensions of the crib are reduced in at least one direction, preferably by at least 10% or at least 20%. This allows the crib, especially the baby cot, to be stored in a space-saving manner and / or adapted to specific requirements (for example, with regard to the size of the child or the storage location of the crib). MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0011] 2

[0012] Preferably, the dimensions of the crib are reduced in at least one direction by at least 30% or at least 50% or at least 70% and / or at most 99% or at most 95%.

[0013] The direction in which the dimensions of the crib are reduced is preferably (at least) the longitudinal direction, i.e., the direction defined by the extension from the head to the foot of the crib (especially in side view). In this respect, the length is particularly preferably reduced accordingly. Length preferably refers to the extension (in side view) from the foremost to the rearmost point (of the crib or baby cot), or the distance between two parallel, vertical walls between which the crib can just be positioned (if the crib is oriented perpendicular to these two walls in the front-to-back direction). Width is defined accordingly by the distance between the outermost points on each side. Height is preferably defined by the distance between the highest and lowest points.

[0014] In preferred embodiments, the length, width, and / or height can be reduced, preferably by at least 10%, 20%, or 40%, respectively. A "usage position" refers in particular to a configuration in which a child (or baby) can be placed in the crib or baby bed. A "transport position" refers in particular to a configuration in which the crib or baby bed can be stored or transported in a space-saving manner, and in this position, the child or baby preferably cannot be placed in it.

[0015] According to a second aspect, which can be combined with the first aspect above, a crib, especially a baby cot, is proposed that can be converted from a crib configuration to a bedside crib configuration. This further increases the flexibility of the crib.

[0016] A third aspect, which is preferably combinable with the first and / or second aspect, proposes a children's bed, in particular a crib, wherein an extension device is provided to extend at least one side wall, particularly in the vertical direction. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0017] 3

[0018] The cot is preferably usable as a bedside cot, a crib and / or a travel cot (or can be configured accordingly), so that the child is preferably always in his familiar surroundings.

[0019] The crib may have legs and / or a baby bath.

[0020] A head frame section, a foot frame section and several (in particular four) legs may be provided, each of which may be arranged, in particular attached, to the lateral ends of the frame sections.

[0021] Generally, four legs may be present; however, in variations, two legs with a respective support foot or four legs at the corners of the baby bath or in the form of two inverted U shapes may be provided.

[0022] The transition may imply a displacement, for example of at least two telescope sections relative to each other.

[0023] The legs can be individually or in pairs telescopically adjustable and optionally designed as a double telescope, for example with three elements, such as two leg sections and the respective frame part or frame section. A design as a simple telescope per leg or per pair of legs, for example consisting of the respective frame part or frame section and a leg section, is also possible. Preferably, the leg section is inserted into the frame part (and / or, if applicable, a lower leg section is inserted into an upper leg section).

[0024] Between the head frame section and the foot frame section on the one hand and the legs on the other hand - and / or between two telescopically adjustable sections within a leg - a preloading device, e.g. a spring, in particular a compression spring, may be provided to force the legs into the extended position.

[0025] The telescopic function preferably serves, on the one hand, to adjust the height, for example for a bedside crib, and, on the other hand, preferably enables a compact transport configuration. Several lockable positions can be provided for this purpose; in particular, it can be provided that the lower and middle telescopic sections can be locked in two positions, namely compact and extended, while the middle and upper telescopic sections can be locked in several positions – compact, extended, and intermediate positions. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0026] 4

[0027] The locking of the respective telescopic position can be achieved via a mechanism such as a push-in button, e.g. a pin, whereby the unlocking of a possible first (upper) and second (lower) latch can or cannot be carried out separately.

[0028] Preferably, the crib includes one or more height adjustment mechanisms, allowing for different heights between the head and foot sections. Different heights between the head and foot sections are advantageous, for example, as an anti-reflux measure.

[0029] Distal ends of the legs or their feet may have wheels, possibly only on the legs of one end, in particular the foot end, especially to enable wheelbarrow-like pushing and / or trolley-like pulling.

[0030] The baby bath may have an upper (circumferential) frame, which may be formed at the head and foot ends together with the head frame section and the foot frame section. This upper (circumferential) frame may be connected to the legs and / or to the head frame section and the foot frame section.

[0031] Side walls are preferably flexible, for example made of textile, mesh or a combination thereof, and can be attached to the upper (circulating) frame.

[0032] A base is preferably flexible, e.g., made of fabric or mesh, and can be continuous or segmented, for example, if a mattress is inserted. The base can also be attached or attachable to the head or foot frame section, in particular in such a way that relative movement between them is not (completely) excluded. This can be achieved, for example, by a loop on the base that encircles a tube and / or bar of the head or foot frame section and can slide along it, but cannot detach from it.

[0033] It may include a base and / or a mattress to be placed on the floor. The base may be solid and made of wood, particleboard, plastic, or other materials. It may be sewn into the floor or placed in an openable pocket.

[0034] The extension or extension device of the (respective) side wall can be integrated into a lower section of the side walls and / or into the edge of the base section MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0035] 5, in particular to allow for a low-profile operating position. The extension can be attached or detached via a detachable fastening device, in particular comprising or formed by at least one zipper or a similar device.

[0036] Specifically, a first zipper half can be provided at the normal height of the side wall or at a height between an upper end and a lower end of the side wall (when the side wall is extended to its maximum height), and a second zipper half can be provided around the bottom, so that both zipper halves can be connected when the extension is not in use, or separate when the extension is in use. One or both zipper halves can preferably be covered by a flexible section, for example, fabric, which can be folded away for use.

[0037] Preferably, the transfer involves at least one folding and / or folding operation. For this purpose, at least one folding and / or folding mechanism, preferably comprising at least one joint, is preferably provided.

[0038] In embodiments, the upper (circulating) frame and / or a base part and / or a mattress may have at least or exactly three sections, wherein two of the three sections are pivotable about a further central section located between these sections, wherein the respective central section, particularly in a side view, is preferably at most 0.5 times or at most 0.2 times as long as one or both of the other sections.

[0039] The upper (circumferential) frame preferably has a hinge device in the middle of its long sides, which may in particular comprise two (closely adjacent) hinges, especially such that two comparatively long lateral sections and one comparatively short central section can be present on each side. The two hinges preferably form the connection points between the distal end of the respective long lateral section, as seen from the legs, and the corresponding end of the short central section.

[0040] The base section can have a hinged device in the middle, which in particular comprises two (closely adjacent) hinges, resulting in two comparatively long end sections and a comparatively short central section. The position of the hinges can correspond to that of the hinges in the (circulating) frame. The hinged device of the base section can incorporate one or more locking mechanisms, MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0041] 6 in particular stops, which preferably make folding possible in one direction, but not in the other.

[0042] The head frame section and the foot frame section, and in particular the legs (with a base or legs in the shape of an inverted U), are preferably articulated to the upper frame.

[0043] In the operating position, the head frame section and the foot frame section preferably each enclose an angle of between 80 and 120 degrees, preferably 90 and 100 degrees, with the (circulating) frame, wherein further opening is preferably blocked or blockable, preferably prevented by a stop.

[0044] In the transport position, the head frame section and the foot frame section preferably each form an angle of less than 20 degrees, particularly less than 10 degrees or even less than 5 degrees, with the (circulating) frame. Joints between the head frame section and the (circulating) frame, between the foot frame section and the (circulating) frame, and within the long sides of the (circulating) frame are preferably lockable (either directly or indirectly).

[0045] The joints of the base section can, but do not have to, lock or be lockable.

[0046] At least the operating position is preferably locked or lockable, wherein locking and / or unlocking is preferably effected via at least one manual actuating device, preferably comprising at least one pull element. Preferably, locking occurs automatically upon reaching the operating position (e.g., via the engagement of spring-loaded bolts in corresponding bolt receptacles), wherein unlocking may require actuation of the actuating device.

[0047] The joint locks can be released via at least one manual actuating device, in particular at least two or exactly two actuating devices, preferably one on each short side of the (circumferential) frame or on the upper side of the head frame section and foot frame section. Locks within the long sides of the (circumferential) frame are preferably released only when both actuating devices are actuated. When all locks are released, the bed is preferably transferred into a MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0048] 7. A compact transport position is possible, whereby the legs can preferably be (additionally) pushed in to achieve the compact position.

[0049] For the specific implementation of the locking mechanism, two pull rods can be provided per actuating device, resulting in a total of, in particular, four pull rods. Each pull rod, e.g., comprising or formed by a cable or a Bowden cable, can be equipped with a first, second, and third end as well as with a branch, each end having a head (of a known type) for attachment. The first end is preferably connected to the actuating device, the second end to a latch that can be associated with one of the joints between the head frame section and the (circulating) frame or between the base frame section and the (circulating) frame, and the third end can be associated with one of the joints between the long lateral section and the short central section of the long side of the (circulating) frame.

[0050] The branching is preferably arranged between any two of the three ends. The actuating device preferably has two ramps (e.g., in the form of angled slots), which may be connected to different traction elements, for example, a right ramp connected to a left traction element and a left ramp connected to a right traction element. By actuating the device, the traction elements can be pulled towards the device, in particular the second and third ends, so that the associated locking mechanisms are released.

[0051] The joints can each have a first and a second disk, with the first disk being, for example, associated with the head frame section or the foot frame section and the second disk being associated with the long lateral section, or the first disk being associated with the short central section and the second disk being associated with the long lateral section.

[0052] "Associated" can mean, in particular, firmly connected or formed in one piece, especially monolithically. The two disks can assume a connected position in which the elements associated with the disks are not rotatable relative to each other, or a separated position in which they are rotatable relative to each other. In the connected position, the disks can be in engagement with each other, while in the separated position, the engagement can be disengaged. The positions can differ, in particular, by the distance between the facing side surfaces of the first and second disks. (Meissner Bolte M / CUU-397-PC)

[0053] 8. By actuating the second or third end of the traction element, the discs can be moved apart, for example, via a ramp, with elastic means such as springs pushing the discs towards each other.

[0054] The adjacent joints of the short central section can be synchronized, so that folding one of the long lateral sections also results in folding the other long lateral section on the same long side of the (circulating) frame. For this purpose, two of the four involved disks can be equipped with interlocking teeth on their outer surface.

[0055] The mattress may have slits on its underside to facilitate folding in a transverse direction at points corresponding to the joints.

[0056] A bag and / or strap may be provided to hold the bed in the transport position.

[0057] When the bed is moved into the usage position, preferably all locking mechanisms engage automatically, especially without any further intervention.

[0058] The transport position is preferably so small that it complies with the requirements for (airplane hand luggage). Preferably, in this position, it can be stored in a cuboid measuring 55 x 40 x 20 cm.

[0059] To transfer the product from the operating position to the transport position, the locking mechanisms are preferably released first, then the side sections of the long sides of the (circulating) frame are folded downwards, with the bottom part folding analogously (automatically), in particular via the side walls.

[0060] An initial M-shaped intermediate position may be formed before a final position is reached in which the head frame section, the two side sections, and the foot frame section lie (closely) against each other, and preferably the end sections of the mattress also lie (closely) against each other. The legs can be inserted at this point and / or even at the beginning (and / or afterwards).

[0061] The head frame section and the foot frame section can be designed symmetrically to each other. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0062] 9

[0063] A third height position for the bottom section can be provided, preferably at least approximately at the height of the (surrounding) frame. For this purpose, a third zipper half can be provided at least approximately at the height of the (surrounding) frame, to which the second zipper half can be connected.

[0064] The three options for the height position would preferably be, firstly, all zipper halves unconnected, creating extended side walls; secondly, connecting the first and second zipper halves, achieving a normal medium height; and thirdly, connecting the second and third zipper halves, creating a raised lying surface.

[0065] This third option allows for co-sleeper use as a bedside crib. However, since this configuration lacks the barrier to prevent the child from falling out, a safety frame that can be detachably attached to and / or onto the (surrounding) frame can be provided. Attaching and detaching this safety frame can be done without tools, for example, using a snap, clamp, and / or plug-in connection. Advantageously, the third zipper half is located in a lower section of the safety frame, thus providing additional security and simultaneously preventing the base from being used without the safety frame.

[0066] In general, particularly as described above, the crib may include a detachable safety frame, especially to prevent the child from falling out, particularly when configured as a bedside crib.

[0067] The safety frame can be designed to raise the sides of the crib, at least in sections. In particular, it can be designed to raise three sides, preferably one of the long sides and the two short sides, and not raise the fourth side, or at least raise it less than the other sides.

[0068] The transport position is preferably so small that it meets the requirements for aircraft hand luggage, in particular allowing it to be stored in a 55 x 40 x 20 cm cuboid in this position.

[0069] The above problem is solved in particular by a system comprising a crib of the above type and a bag for storing the crib, wherein the bag with the crib contained therein is preferably in the transport position MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0070] 10 is small enough to meet the requirements for aircraft hand luggage, in particular allowing it to be stored in a 55 x 40 x 20 cm cuboid in this position.

[0071] The above problem is solved in particular by a method for adjusting a crib of the above type, wherein the crib is moved from the first configuration, in particular the use position, to at least one further configuration, in particular the transport position, in which the dimensions of the crib are reduced in at least one direction, preferably by at least 10% or at least 20%, or vice versa.

[0072] The above problem is solved in particular by a method for setting up a crib of the above type, wherein the crib is converted from the crib configuration to the side-sleeper configuration or vice versa.

[0073] The above problem is solved in particular by a method for adjusting a crib of the above type, wherein at least one side wall is lengthened or shortened, in particular in the vertical direction.

[0074] The functional or purpose-oriented characteristics explained above should be particularly important for the respective procedure insofar as the respective function is preferably realized specifically as a procedure feature and / or the respective purpose is used.

[0075] Further embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0076] The invention is described below with regard to further features and advantages, which are explained in more detail using the following exemplary embodiment.

[0099] In the following description, the same reference numbers are used for identical and equivalent parts. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0100] 12

[0101] Fig. 1 shows an oblique view of a crib in use. The crib has two legs 10a and 10b at each end. Alternatives are possible, for example with only two legs in total (and, for example, a correspondingly wider base) or with three legs.

[0102] Furthermore, the crib has a frame 11 with a headboard section 12 and a footboard section 13, as well as an upper (surrounding) frame 14. The upper (surrounding) frame 14 is covered here by a bassinet 15, which can be seen in detail, for example, in Fig. 2. The legs 10a, 10b can be telescopically inserted into the headboard section 12 and the footboard section 13, respectively (see Fig. 2). The bassinet 15 can include a base (floor panel) 16 (not shown in detail in Fig. 1; see Fig. 2). The bassinet 15 can be formed entirely by the base (floor panel) 16 and a flexible surface material, for example, fabric and / or mesh (shown only in Fig. 1, but not in Fig. 2).

[0103] Fig. 2 shows a side view in a partially folded position with the legs 10a, 10b retracted. Three sections of the long side of the upper frame are clearly visible (soft goods are not shown). As can be seen, the upper frame 14 has a hinge 18 in the middle of each long side shown. The hinge has two (closely adjacent) joints 19a and 19b, such that there are two comparatively long lateral sections of the upper frame and one comparatively short central section of the upper frame (per side). The joints 19a, 19b form connection points between a distal end (as viewed from the legs) of each long lateral section and the corresponding end of the short central section.

[0104] The base section (base plate) 16 preferably has (in the middle) a hinge device 20, which specifically comprises two (closely adjacent) hinges 21a, 21b, resulting in two comparatively long end sections and a comparatively short central section. The position of the hinges 21a, 21b can correspond to that of the hinges 19a, 19b in the upper frame. The hinge device 20 of the base section 16 can have one or more locking means (in particular, a locking mechanism, which preferably allows folding in one direction but not in the other). MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0105] 13

[0106] Finally, locking devices 22 can be seen in Fig. 2 to enable a telescopic position of the legs 10a, 10b.

[0107] Fig. 3 shows a transport position in side view. Here, the long sides of the upper frame 14 and the base (floor plate) 16 are brought as close together as possible and preferably aligned parallel to each other. The legs 10a, 10b are pushed in as far as they can.

[0108] Fig. 4 shows the configuration of the crib according to Fig. 3, wherein the crib is housed in a bag 24 (transport bag, indicated by dashed lines).

[0109] Fig. 5 shows a configuration analogous to Fig. 1 in side view, wherein the legs 10a, 10b are arranged at different heights, in particular to alleviate or prevent reflux in the child.

[0110] Fig. 6 again shows the configuration according to Fig. 1 in a side view, including an enlarged detail. It is particularly noticeable that casters are attached to the lower end of legs 10a. Preferably, no casters are provided on legs 10b to ensure a stable stand in a simple manner. It is conceivable that casters are also provided on legs 10b. Any casters may be lockable and / or swiveling.

[0111] Fig. 7 shows a side view with extended side walls 25. The extension can be released (or attached) via a releasable fastening means, in particular comprising or formed by at least one zipper. Specifically, a first zipper half can be provided at the normal height of the (respective) side wall, and a second zipper half can be provided around the bottom, so that both zipper halves can be connected to each other when the extension is not in use (see Fig. 1) or separated from each other when the extension is in use (see Fig. 7).

[0112] Fig. 8 shows a mattress 26 in side view (unfolded). The mattress 26 has slots 27 (on its underside) which form a film hinge, so that the mattress can be folded (see Fig. 9).

[0113] Fig. 10 shows the base section 16 in a side view (unfolded). Fig. 11 shows the corresponding base section partially folded. As can be seen, stops 23 prevent the MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC from

[0114] 14. The bottom section can be folded in either direction. Specifically, the bottom section can only be folded upwards, not downwards.

[0115] Fig. 12 shows a sectional view of a leg 10a including the adjoining foot frame section 13 (the respective leg 10b can also interact with the head frame section 12). According to Fig. 12 and especially the detailed view in Fig. 13, it can be seen that the leg 10a is biased downwards by a spring 28. Therefore, when a lock is released, the leg 10a is always moved into a lower position. Fig. 13 shows a detailed view of Fig. 12. A rocker 29 can be seen, at one end of which a latch 30 is arranged and at the other end of which a push button 31 is arranged, with a spring 32 biasing the latch 30 into its locked position.

[0116] Fig. 14 shows a short side of the upper frame 14 with an actuating device 33 (and in the background the long side of the upper frame 14 with visible teeth 34) for synchronization (see below). The actuating device 33 is shown in detail in an exploded view, showing two ramps 35a, 35b and their counterparts 36a, 36b with attachments for the first ends of a respective traction element (not shown in Fig. 14) and corresponding guide sections 39. In Fig. 14, only one attachment, including a receptacle for a head of the traction element (not shown), is visible. The other attachment is located on the opposite side; as is the other guide section.

[0117] Fig. 15 shows an exploded view of a joint 40 (see also Fig. 2) between the head or foot frame section (or alternatively the respective leg) and the upper frame 14. A toothed recess 41 can be seen in a corner section of the upper frame 14. This corresponds to a first disk. A gear 42 corresponds to a second disk, with a spring 43 biasing the gear 42 towards the first disk, and the gear 42 always engaging with the (toothed) recess 41 at the upper end of the head or foot frame section. A drive element 44, which has a guide groove 45 for the traction element on its outer surface, can be seen between the first and second disks (a receptacle for the head of the traction element is not visible).When the traction element is pulled, the drive element 44 rotates, particularly relative to the first disc, and is moved away from the first disc by ramps 46 (tooth-like elements, where only one of preferably three tooth-like elements is fully visible) on the base of the first disc. As a result, the second disc is disengaged from the first disc against the force of the spring 43, and the locking mechanism is released. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC.

[0118] 15

[0119] The drive element 44 has recesses on its rear side (not shown) which correspond to the ramps and can accommodate them in the locked position (see also Fig. 19, reference numeral 47 for the corresponding recesses).

[0120] Fig. 16 shows an exploded view of a long side of the upper frame 14 with parts of the joints 19a, 19b (see also Fig. 2). The function preferably corresponds to the joint as explained in Fig. 15, with the addition of synchronization. A guide for a third end of the traction element is not visible due to the rotational position. In the background, it can be seen that the head and foot frame sections include a transverse segment that increases the stability of the structure.

[0121] Fig. 17 shows the crib according to Fig. 1 and, in a drawing, a protective frame 50 suspended above it.

[0122] Fig. 18 shows the cot according to Fig. 1 with a raised base and the attached safety frame 50.

[0123] Fig. 20 shows a section with the traction element 51 shown. This establishes an operative connection between the actuating device 33 and the joints 19a, 19b and 40.

[0124] Preferably, a total of eight locked or lockable joints are provided, which can be unlocked by preferably two actuating devices via, in particular, four traction elements.

[0125] It should be noted here that all the parts described above, considered individually and in any combination, especially the details shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention. Modifications to this are familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0126] It should be further noted that all parts and features described above, individually—even without additional features described in the respective context, even if these have not been explicitly identified as optional features in the respective context, e.g., by using: in particular, preferably, for example, e.g., parentheses, etc.—or in combination or any sub-combination, are to be regarded as independent embodiments or further developments of the invention as defined in particular in the introduction and the claims. MEISSNER BOLTE M / CUU-397-PC

[0127] 16

[0128] Deviations from this are possible. Specifically, it should be noted that the word "in particular" or parentheses are intended to explicitly indicate non-essential features in the respective context. Naturally, embodiments of the described device are also to be considered disclosed for the use of the device.

[0129] When areas (e.g., three to eight) are mentioned, the corresponding unilaterally open areas (i.e., at least three or at most eight in the example) should also be disclosed.
