  • Patent number: 5181735
    Abstract: In order to allow bending of members defining the cross-directional size of a frame of a foldaway baby carriage in association with movement of members forming side surfaces of the frame, side bars rotate with respect to front legs to draw up front leg sleeves through front leg rigid links. At this time, guide pins provided in the front legs are moved in spirally extending guide grooves which are formed in the front leg sleeves, so that the front leg sleeves rotate due to the spiral extension of the guide grooves. Thus, a front leg coupling link extending across the pair of front leg sleeves is bent about bend points. A similar structure is employed in relation to a rear leg coupling member extending across a pair of rear legs and a side bar coupling member extending across a pair of side bars.

  • Patent number: 5177822
    Abstract: A pair of sliders (4, 5) are mounted on both end portions of a bed body (3) for sliding along said end portions in the cross direction of the bed body (3). Upright bars (6, 7) are mounted on the respective sliders (4, 5) to upwardly extend from the sliders (4, 5). Support members (8, 9) mounted on the respective upright bars (6, 7) are movable along the upright bars (6, 7) and stoppable at adjusted positions. Two parallel side bars (10, 11) couple the support members (8, 9) of a pair with each other. The respective upright bars (6, 7) are movable with respect to the sliders (4, 5) along the cross direction of the bed body (3), whereby the upright bars (6, 7) can be moved to ends of the sliders (4, 5) when the sliders extend laterally from the bed body (3) and outside the bed body (3). As the result, the bed body (3) will not hinder any nursing of a sick person or the like, who is held by the side bars (10, 11) and can be attended at the side of the bed body (3).

  • Patent number: 5173978
    Abstract: A bed apparatus (1) combines a bed body (3) and a collapsible bathtub (103). The bathtub (103) is vertically collapsible to be storable in a spaced under a bottom plate (106) of the bed body (3). The collapsible tub is movable by a guide member (104) between a position under the bottom plate (106) and a position on a side of the bottom plate (106). In an unused state, the bathtub (103) is stored in the space under the bed body in order to facilitate an effective use of a relatively narrow room.

  • Patent number: 4958885
    Abstract: A high chair has a backrest member and a seat member which constitute a seat section, and a support member which is disposed to overlap the backrest member and which supports the backrest member for vertical slide movement. The support member is fixed in its raised position by a raised position fixing device. In the region where the backrest member and the support member overlap each other, the support member has a through-hole. On the other hand, a plurality of vertically aligned engaging holes are provided in the backrest member at positions where they can be opposed to the through-hole. A lock pin is inserted into the through-hole and one of the engaging holes, thereby fixing the height of the backrest member.

  • Patent number: 4906017
    Abstract: A baby carriage comprises a pair of push rods, a push rod connecting member for connecting upper end portions of the pair of push rods with each other, a pair of push rod locking members for fixing positions of the push rods, a pair of opened state locking members for fixing/maintaining the baby carriage in an opened state, a pair of engagement release members provided to be displaceable between lowermost, intermediate and uppermost positions along the push rods, a wire for connecting the pair of engagement release members with each other and an operating member connected to the wire at the central portion of the push rod connecting member. When the operating member is manually brought into a second position, the engagement release members are pulled up by the wire toward the intermediate positions, to push up the opened state locking members. Consequently, the baby carriage is released from the locked opened state.
