Double-decked baby bed
A double-decked baby bed comprises: a folding bedstead; a plurality of soft fabric layers disposed around the bedstead and on the bottom of the bedstead; a folding bedplate for detachably attaching to the bedstead; and two plates for detachably attaching to the fabric layers. The fabric layers have a plurality of coupling parts on opposite short sides. The plates have a plurality of coupling parts on opposite short sides corresponding to the coupling parts of the fabric layers. As a result, the height of the folding bedplate is adjustable by connection or disconnection of the plates when the folding bedstead is unfolded.
The present invention relates to a double-decked baby bed with a height-adjustable bedplate, wherein this double-decked baby bed is suitable for families, day-care centers or the likes with infant children.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe baby bed, as implied in the name, is a bed for baby. The conventional baby bed generally has a higher playpen that protects the baby or the infant child who sleeps or plays on the baby bed from falling off the baby bed. Due to the existence of the higher playpen, the adult must make a large-scale stooping motion to hold up or put down the baby. However, this large-scale stooping motion is laborious for the young person. Thus, this large-scale stooping motion is absolutely more laborious for the elder person. Besides, the carelessness causes damage to the little and tender baby easily.
In order to overcome the aforesaid problems of the conventional baby bed, the present inventor discloses an issued Taiwan patent, entitled “detachable double-decked baby bed”, which comprises a main bed and a subsidiary bed, wherein the main bed has a deeper depth and the subsidiary bed has a shallower depth. The subsidiary bed is detachably mounted in the upper opening of the main bed for holding the baby.
In this double-decked baby bed, the main body of the subsidiary bed is made of a soft material, and the subsidiary bed has several sleeves around the upper opening for holding several border rods so as to support the unfolded subsidiary bed. The subsidiary bed further has several adjustable hooking means, wherein each adjustable hooking means has a hook and a belt. Each belt has several adjustable holding regions divided by several sewing lines for holding parts of the border rods. The aforesaid hooks are allowed to hook the upper edge of the main bed so as to fix the subsidiary bed on the main bed.
Although this kind of double-decked baby bed avoids the large-scale stooping motion effectively, it has complicated structure and high production cost. In addition, this additional subsidiary bed must be detached and embedded into the main bed before storage.
In view of these drawbacks, the present inventor makes diligent studies in providing the consumers with a simple-structured, low-cost double-decked baby bed, wherein no detachment is required for storage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is a main object of the present invention to provide a simple-structured, low-cost double-decked baby bed.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an easy-folding double-decked baby bed with a height-adjustable bedplate.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, a double-decked baby bed comprises: a folding bedstead; a plurality of soft fabric layers disposed around the bedstead and on the bottom of the bedstead; a folding bedplate for detachably attaching to the bedstead; and two plates for detachably attaching to the fabric layers. The fabric layers have a plurality of coupling parts on opposite short sides. The plates have a plurality of coupling parts on opposite short sides corresponding to the coupling parts of the fabric layers. As a result, the height of the folding bedplate is adjustable by connection or disconnection of the plates when the folding bedstead is unfolded.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
If this baby bed is applied to the newly born baby or infant who cannot sit up, the zippers 122 and 132 on the long sides of the plates 12 and 13 are cooperatively zipped up, and the coupling parts 121 and 131 on the short sides of the plates 12 and 13 are coupled with the coupling parts 112 on the opposite short fabric layers 11 so as to form an upper base. Next, as shown in
However, when the baby grows up, the height of the upper base may be insecure for the child who can sit up or crawl. As a result, as shown in
Moreover, as shown in
In accordance with the foregoing description, it is apparent that the present invention provides the advantage as follows:
1. The base of the simple-structured baby bed can be adjusted to a proper height according to the requirements of users, whereby the little baby can be held up or put down easily and the production cost can be reduced significantly.
2. By coupling the coupling parts of the plates with the coupling parts at a proper height of the baby bed and zipping up the zippers of the plates cooperatively, the upper base with a shallow depth is formed on the baby bed effectively.
3. The problems of the conventional baby bed that requires an additional subsidiary bed to provide a shallow depth and that embeds this additional subsidiary bed into the main bed before storage can be overcome effectively.
In summary, the present invention indeed achieves the expected objects by disclosing a double-decked baby bed. Accordingly, the present invention meets the requirement for patentability and is therefore submitted for a patent.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiment of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments, which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
