  • Patent number: 11013345
    Abstract: A child containment system has a child containment structure with a bottom and a perimeter wall surrounding the bottom. A bassinet has an infant support surface and a surrounding wall around the infant support surface. The bassinet can be mounted to the child containment structure with the infant support surface elevated above the bottom of the child containment structure. An infant support unit can have a frame, a bed supported by the frame, and legs that extend from one end of the infant support unit to the distal second end. The infant support unit is configured for use in a first operational mode in which the infant support unit at least partially positioned within the child containment structure with the bed overlying the bassinet's infant support surface, and with a portion of the legs contacting the bassinet's infant support surface.

  • Patent number: 10806266
    Abstract: A folding furnishing apparatus includes first members that support at least one flexible panel in a set-up configuration; second members that support the plurality of first members; first joints that connect the plurality of first members and that in the set-up configuration define mutually skewed axes about which the furnishing cannot be folded, thus locking the first members in extended positions; and second joints that connect the second members to the first members. The second joints in the set-up configuration define mutually parallel axes about which the second members can be folded to a mutually nested configuration. The first joints in the mutually nested configuration then define mutually parallel axes about which the first members can be folded to a collapsed configuration.

  • Patent number: 9474385
    Abstract: A foldable bed frame structure includes two longitudinal supports, three transverse supports, and a plurality of legs. Each longitudinal support includes a first longitudinal pole and a second longitudinal pole which are symmetrically disposed and have connecting ends connected with each other. Each transverse support includes two transverse poles which are symmetrically disposed and have connecting ends pivotally connected through a U-shaped fixing plate. Free ends of the transverse poles are connected with the first longitudinal pole and the second longitudinal pole through connecting seats, respectively. The legs are pivotally connected to the transverse poles through the U-shaped fixing plate and the connecting seats, respectively. The foldable bed frame structure is convenient for transportation and use.

  • Patent number: 9131778
    Abstract: A foldable tent-cot includes two elongated rods each having a pair of connecting rods pivotally connected to each other. The foldable tent-cot also includes a pair of outer X-shaped support racks pivotally connected to outer ends of opposing elongated rods and a central X-shaped support rack pivotally connected to central portions of opposing elongated rods. Each X-shaped support rack is defined by a pair of support legs that intersect adjacently at an intersection point and is further supported by support rods. The foldable tent-cot also includes vertical supports connected to the intersection points of each outer X-shaped support rack. A tent is coupled to the elongated rods and to the vertical supports. The integral tent-cot is foldable to a compact state wherein the connecting rods, support rods, X-shaped support racks and vertical supports are collectively folded substantially parallel and adjacent to each other along with the tent.

  • Patent number: 8707478
    Abstract: An adjustable folding bed frame including a plurality of longitudinal beams spaced apart and parallel to each other. Each longitudinal beam is formed by a pair of longitudinal bars that are pivotally connected together. The bed frame also includes a plurality of transverse beams spaced apart and parallel to each other. Each transverse beam is formed by a pair of transverse bars that are pivotally connected together. Each transverse bar has a first sliding member slidingly coupled with a second sliding member for adjusting the bed frame to predetermined widths. The bed frame also includes legs connected to a corresponding lower side of each longitudinal bar free end. The longitudinal and transverse bars are coupled together to form a generally rectangular frame when the bed frame is in an open configuration, and are folded adjacent and parallel to each other when the bed frame is in a folded configuration.

  • Patent number: 8528131
    Abstract: An improved sleeping or camping cot construction is provided in which the end rails of the cot frame are pivotally mounted along their center along a channel member so that downward forces on the cot in its normal operating position improves the stability of the cot by forcing the end rails into engagement with the channel member. The channel member also encloses the pivot points of the end rails from inadvertent contact a user during the pivot operation of the end rails.

  • Patent number: 8393023
    Abstract: A collapsible bed frame includes two long rods each composed of two connecting rods. The two connecting rods are connected together through a connecting member. Each of the two long rods has two ends and a central portion pivotally connected with an X-shaped support rack, respectively. The X-shaped support rack at the central portion is pivotally connected to the connecting member. Support rods are provided between the long rods and the X-shaped support racks at the two ends. The support rods are adapted to assist in pulling or pushing the X-shaped support racks at the two ends for expanding or collapsing the collapsible bed frame with ease.

  • Patent number: 8296879
    Abstract: A foldable bed includes a plurality of connecting bars, a plurality of support bars, and a plurality of stand units. Each of the stand units includes two pivotally connected support legs each having a first end provided with an upper support portion, a second end provided with a lower support portion, and a middle section provided with a pivot portion. Each of the stand units further includes two clamping brackets each mounted on the respective support leg, and two vibration absorbers each mounted in the respective clamping bracket. Thus, when the two support legs are expanded, each of the vibration absorbers on one of the support legs abuts the pivot portion of the other one of the support legs so that the support legs are combined solidly and stably so as to enhance the structural strength of each of the stand units.

  • Patent number: 7770246
    Abstract: A foldable bed having a frame and a cover attached to the frame. The frame has two handles, two identical side beams each having a pair of groove beams pivotally connected to one of the handles, connectors and bars pivotally connected to the handles or the connectors. The foldable bed is able to be folded by a simple action of pulling the handle upward meanwhile stepping on the peddling member. And it is able to be expanded by a simple action of breaking off the two groove beams with two hands of a user. Furthermore, the foldable bed occupies relatively small storing space when folded since a width of the folded bed is much shorter than that of the expanded one's.
