An object of the present invention is to provide a baby rocking chair frame which is easily detached.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a baby rocking chair frame which is easily folded.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a baby rocking chair frame which is easily expanded.
Accordingly, a baby rocking chair frame comprises a first generally V-shaped base frame, a second generally V-shaped base frame, and a U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame has a pair of generally cross-shaped holes, a pair of threaded apertures, and a first collar and a second collar inserted in two ends of the U-shaped frame. The first generally V-shaped base frame has a first end inserted in the first collar, and a second end having a first protruded block. The second generally V-shaped base frame has a first end inserted in the second collar, and a second end having a second protruded block. The first collar has a first through aperture to match the corresponding threaded aperture of the U-shaped frame. The second collar has a second through aperture to match the corresponding threaded aperture of the U-shaped frame. A connection device has a main block having a through hole, a connection lever having a first end pivot hole and a second pivot hole, a first slide block, a first stop mount, a first button, a second slide block, a second stop mount, and a second button. The first slide block has a first generally cross-shaped aperture, a pair of first inner grooves communicating with the first generally cross-shaped aperture, a first side lug having a first round hole, and a first head lug having a first circular hole. The first stop mount has a first flat head, a first notch, and a first round aperture. The second slide block has a second generally cross-shaped aperture, a pair of second inner grooves communicating with the second generally cross-shaped aperture, a second side lug having a second round hole, and a second head lug having a second circular hole. The second stop mount has a second flat head, a second notch, and a second round aperture. The connection lever passes through the through hole of the main block.
