Description

Baby changing table

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a safety equipment for babies, which corresponds to a changing table (with or without lifting structure, bathtub ...) and which increases the safety of babies, especially when they begin to move.

STATE OF THE ART

Young babies do not have the ability to move their bodies but only hands and feet. However, after a few months they are able to turn around. If parents are not aware and do not realize this evolution, they are in a situation of risk.

Changing tables are known, consisting of a concave upper mat where the baby is placed. The curvature of the sides prevents the baby from falling, but only when he cannot move. However, when he learns to roll over, he is able to overcome the sides and fall over the edge. If the changing table is in a high place (a chest of drawers, a support structure.) The fall can be high and cause the baby to hurt himself.

The applicant does not know of any device that can solve these problems.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a changing table for babies according to claim 1. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

Cam a or es e po orma or by a lesser cup o or cooker with two sides higher than the center. Depending on the design, you can have taller sides all the way around. The changing table has a support base that serves to fix the barrier on the outside of the sides. The barrier is higher than these. The base can be integral with the changer, form part of it, so that no discontinuity is appreciated, or be removable.

For example, the base can be a bathtub.

The base may comprise a supporting and lifting structure. This allows the barrier to be extended below the base, increasing stability.

In one embodiment, the barrier is of different height on each side to facilitate access for the caregiver.

The barrier may comprise attachments for accessory material to the changer. These fixings can be pockets, hooks, holes for the passage of hooks, trays ...

In one embodiment, the base has a curved area with a perimeter rail and the barrier is flexible along a vertical axis. That is, the barrier can adapt to different vertical axis curvatures. The barrier comprises a series of mobile carts along this perimeter rail. In this way, the caregiver can open or close the barrier or reposition it according to their own position, the presence of walls.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an example of embodiment with a changing table (1) supported on a base (2) that corresponds to a bathtub and a support structure (3), in this case legs, shelves, .. The changing table (1) has concave shape and rectangular shape, with two longer sides somewhat higher, as is usual in the art. It can also have other shapes (oval, polygonal.) In which case the sides) will not be straight but curved or broken.

The base (2) supports a barrier (4) that covers at least the two sides of the changer (1) and that is considerably higher than the sides, so that it protrudes above them. Normally 5-10 cm protruding is enough, although it is preferable not to limit yourself. The barrier (4) can be different on each side, so that it defines a lower part to facilitate access to the baby's caregiver.

To facilitate the resistance of the assembly, the barrier (4) surrounds all or almost the entire perimeter of the changer (1).

The barrier (4) can have attachments such as hooks, hook holes, pockets. for accessory material to the changing table: diapers, creams, sponges. or to the bathtub.

In figure 1, an example can be seen in which the base (2) is arranged on a support structure (3), and therefore is in height. In that case, it is possible to make the barrier (4) protrude from the base (2) also here a year to make sure that the arm is supported and better resist any support of the baby on the barrier (4).

In one embodiment, the perimeter of the base (2) has a curved area with a perimeter rail (5) and the barrier (4) is fixed to this perimeter rail (5) in a movable manner. This allows the caregiver to move the barrier (4) leaving the opening or the lowest part at the desired point. This solution is especially interesting to combine with the extension of the barrier (4) downwards, which increases its stability.

In this case, the barrier (4) must be formed by an element that can bend in one direction but is rigid in the other: vertical slats joined together by a flexible element; a fabric or similar with vertical bars ... The barrier (4) is mounted on a series of trolleys that move along the perimeter rail (5).
