Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to A care pad structure of a surrounding baby cot, especially for a surrounding cot which is connected on the upper location thereof and on which an infant can be put to easily proceed replacement of diaper of the baby.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A baby is usually put into a surrounding baby cot which forms a restricted area in which it can move about. This will benefit the caregiver and prevent the baby from injuring during doing its activities inside the surrounding baby cot. This kind of the surrounding baby cot is constructed by four rods to form its base, extending upward four side rods connected to the foregoing rods, connecting another four rods to form its upper frame also connected to the foregoing side rods and attaching flat board inside the base frame and canvas on sides frames. Under this construction, a baby can be put into the restricted area for easier care.
Though this surrounding baby cot provides a safer and easier care situation, the side walls which are designed so high enough to prevent the baby from crossing or climbing over are obstacles for the caregiver to proceed replacement of diaper of the baby. The surrounding walls are so high that the caregiver must stoop down to proceed many activities of baby, for example, replacement of diaper of the baby. It is really a narrow place for an adult to doing activities inside the surrounding walls of the baby cot, especially for an adult to proceed replacement of diaper of a baby. This needs to be modified.
According to forgoing description about the conventional surrounding baby cot, the present invention provides, after repeatedly experiment testing, a novel care pad structure for a surrounding baby cot. The object of the present invention is to provide A care pad structure of a surrounding baby cot.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention provides mainly A care pad structure of a surrounding baby cot, wherein the care pad structure is composed of front frame rod and rear frame rod. The front frame rod has a positioning element connected thereon by a clipping hole for clipping on the upper frame rod of the surrounding baby cot. The rear frame rod has a connecting element which has a hole near front edge provided for being fitted in, forms a fixing seat provided for fixing of inserting end formed at both ends of the sync-positioning rod and forms a hole on rear side provided for fitting on the side rod of upper frame rod. In this structure, the care pad frame rod can be raised to firmly lie on the upper frame rod of the surrounding baby cot by clipping the positioning element on the upper frame rod thereof and parks on side wall when not in use for convenience of storage. In addition, a bag can be attached on to its back side when it is parking on side wall of the surrounding baby cot to be as a storage bag of toys or something.
These and other features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and dependent claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

on both sides of its root portion and arc-shaped buckling piece
26
with bending portion on both ends thereof provided for inserting into the holes
25
.
The front frame rod
11
and rear frame rod
12
of the care pad structure
10
can be connected by the connecting portion
14
, as shown in FIG.
3
. The end edge area of the āUā shaped front frame rod
11
has a hole
111
. The front edge of the rear frame rod
12
also has a hole
121
. The front edge of the rear frame rod
12
can be inserted into the front frame rod
11
, and the raised portion
142
of the buckling spring
141
located inside the rear frame rod
12
can pass through hole
121
and hole
111
separately.
Referring to FIG.
4
and
FIG. 5
, the care pad structure
10
can be located on the upper side of the surrounding baby cot
40
. The surrounding baby cot
40
has four legs
41
connected under the base frame rod
42
and four side frame rods
44
connected upward on the base frame rod
42
. Canvas is constructed between four base frame rods
42
and every two neighboring side frame rods
44
. In addition, a flat board is put on the base frame and covered by canvas. The connecting seat
43
further connects the upper end of the side frame rod
44
and the end portion of the upper frame rod
45
and connects the upper end of the side frame rod
44
and the end portion of the side upper frame rod
46
. The hole
24
formed beneath the clip seat
22
of the connecting element
20
clips on the side upper frame rod
46
of the surrounding baby cot
40
. Under this condition, buckling piece
26
can be fitted to the raised end
23
of the front end of the clip seat
22
for a complete connection.
Referring to
FIG. 5
, again, and
FIG. 6
, the positioning element
13
is adequately located on the front frame rod
11
. The positioning element
13
forms an arc trough
133
on its top, wherein the arc trough
133
has the hole
134
provided for firmly connecting the positioning element
13
to the front frame rod
11
by passing a screw through the hole
134
and the hole on the front frame rod
11
and is designed to contact the surface of the front frame rod
11
. The positioning element
13
also forms a hole
131
inside which has a raised portion
132
in its inner edge and can be fitted on the upper frame rod
45
for firmly connecting by pushing the upper frame rod
45
passing through the raised portion
132
to the hole
131
. Canvas can be put inside the care pad structure
10
formed by front frame rod
11
and rear frame rod
12
, and a baby can be moved to lie on this area and proceed replacement of diaper of baby in a more convenient way.
After using the care pad structure
10
, it can be turned around to the side wall of the surrounding baby cot
40
by taking off the positioning element
13
from upper frame rod
45
, as shown in FIG.
7
. Besides, a bag
16
can be attached on the backside of the canvas
15
of the care pad structure
10
. The bag
16
will show up when the care pad structure
10
is turned around to the side wall of the surrounding baby cot
40
and be a storage bag of toys or something else of the baby.
Referring now to FIG.
8
and
FIG. 9
, they show another embodiment of the frame
30
of the present invention. The same, it includes front frame rod
31
and rear frame rod
32
, wherein the rear frame rod
32
has the same connecting element
20
as foregoing for fitting on the side upper frame rod
46
. In this embodiment, the connecting element
33
is wider, which forms a fixing seat
331
and a holding seat
333
. The fixing seat
331
has a hole
332
provided for being passing through by the front frame rod
31
. The holding seat
333
has an opening hole
334
which has a raised portion
335
in its inner side edge provided for fixing the care pad structure
30
on the surrounding baby cot in further use by fitting on the upper frame rod
45
and pushing the upper frame rod
45
into the raised portion
335
.
Referring now to FIG.
10
and
FIG. 11
, they show another two, the third and the fourth, embodiments of the positioning element
50
of the present invention. The care pad structure
60
is, the same, composed of front frame rod
61
and rear frame rod
62
and is, the same, connected to the side upper frame rod
46
with the rear frame rod
62
thereof by the connecting element
20
. But in this embodiment, the frame formed by those can be wider than the width between two upper frames
45
. The arc portion
51
of the positioning element
50
locating on the front frame rod
61
can clip on the front frame rod
61
, has the hole
52
for firmly connecting by screw and has a clip portion
54
on one side. The clip portion
54
forms a raised portion
55
on its outer side of upper end. In the connecting area between arc portion
51
and clip portion
54
, there can form a rib
53
for stronger supporting. When the care pad structure
60
contacts the upper frame rod
45
, the clip portion
54
of the positioning element
50
can tightly contact the side of the upper frame rod
45
and the raised portion
55
can tightly contact the outer surface of the upper frame rod
45
. This can firmly fix the care pad structure
60
on the surrounding baby cot for further use.
Numerous variations and modifications will suggest themselves to persons skilled in the arts, other than those already described, without departing the basic inventive concepts. Although the present invention has been described with respect to typical preferred embodiments thereof, it should be understood that the present inventions is not limited to these embodiments, and various changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
