  • Patent number: 6964071
    Abstract: A bassinet support unit receives a tub-shaped bassinet. C-shaped hook elements mounted on the respective ends the bassinet are each configured to receive a corresponding elongate support rod that extends across a respective end of the bassinet support unit. The selected C-shaped hook element receives the corresponding support rod and thus inclines the bassinet with respect to a flat substantially horizontal planar top piece of the bassinet support unit. When an at least partially upward force is applied to the bassinet a lower end portion of the C-shaped hook element then receives a part of the support rod. The lower end portion then prevents upward movement of the bassinet and/or limits rotative movement of the bassinet about a longitudinal axis thereof. In some embodiments a pair of J-shaped hook element having openings facing each other can be utilized.
