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.

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

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

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
