2. Description of Related Arts
Stroller becomes a necessity to every family having a young child or baby. It is considered as a convenience outdoor tool to carry the baby or young child, such as during foot traveling or shopping. However, since an infant is soft and weak, the stroller may not suitable to carry the infant because the driving vibration force may transfer to the stroller. The baby may feel uncomfortable and unsafe when the stroller is shaking. During transportation, the stroller may lose its balance and turn over that may cause unwanted injury to the infant. Therefore, a bassinet is commonly used for carrying the infant. However, the conventional bassinet has the following drawbacks.
The conventional bassinet generally comprises a fabric made basin having a compartment to receive the infant therein and a supporting frame for supporting the basin. However, the conventional bassinet is usually bulky and difficult to carry because the size of the bassinet is limited by its supporting frame. Also, the bassinet is usually heavy since the supporting frame must be constructed sturdily in order to support the infant.
In order to save space for traveling and storage, most of the bassinets have a foldable structure to reduce their sizes. Traditional foldable bassinet comprises a foldable supporting frame having a plurality of joints pivotally connected with a plurality of supporting rods to form an open box structure, so that the infant can be put inside a cloth made boundary. Due to the unwanted folding up of the bassinet, infants may get hurt or unfortunately be killed accidentally.
Moreover, a structure that can be folded would not has a rigid structure due to the clearance existing in those foldable joints, so that the conventional foldable bassinet has another drawback of rocking and shaking. In other words, the conventional bassinet fails to provide an absolutely safe environment for the infants. Thus, it is unreasonable to place your infants in a risky or unsafe situation.
Besides, the infants are placed in a playpen or cot at home such that the bassinet will be stored at home. Even though the bassinet can be folded into a compact size to save storage space, the bassinet is considered as an infant carriage for outdoor, which is a waste of source.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
