Description

DESCRIPTION

Security system for changing tables

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is a security system for changing tables. This innovation offers advantages previously unknown within current technologies.

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention falls within the sector of furniture, household items or appliances, coffee grinders, spice grinders and vacuum cleaners in general, especially in furniture specially adapted for children, specifically children's dressing tables.

STATE OF THE ART

The present invention arises from the need to improve the safety of changing tables used in domestic and commercial environments, since current systems feature fastening straps and raised edges that do not always guarantee adequate protection against sudden movements or carelessness.

In everyday situations, caregivers often become momentarily distracted while changing a diaper, increasing the risk of falls if the baby moves unexpectedly. Although adjustable restraint systems are available, many are uncomfortable or impractical, reducing their effectiveness.

In response to this problem, the present invention introduces a safety system for changing tables that covers the top side of the changing table, creating a fall-preventing barrier. Its adjustable structure allows it to be adapted to different furniture, ensuring versatility and ease of use.

Currently, there is no known security system for changing furniture that has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is the creation of a security system for changing furniture that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

The present invention relates to a safety system for changing tables, which incorporates a protective mesh configured to extend and cover the side of a child's changing table, below the upper surface where the baby is actually changed, preventing the infant from falling if it tips over. The mesh is supported by adjustable, generally horizontal bars, which allow it to be extended or retracted as needed. Said bars are secured to the furniture by means of fastening pieces to securely attach it to various types of furniture and ensure the stability of the mesh.

This invention addresses the safety issue of changing table furniture by reducing the risk of accidental falls during use. Using a deployable safety barrier, the system prevents the child from falling outside the safe area of the changing table, even in the event of sudden movements.

This safety system provides an effective and adaptable solution for different types of changing tables, allowing for simple installation without compromising the infant's comfort.

Its versatile design makes it easy to use in both home and commercial settings, providing greater peace of mind to caregivers by minimizing the risks associated with diaper changing.

This security system can incorporate a mesh made of a resilient, elastic material. This material is capable of withstanding sudden loads without yielding or deforming; possible examples include nylon or polyester.

As for the bars that support the mesh, they can have a telescopic mechanism, allowing for linear extension. This feature would be useful for adapting to furniture of different sizes, offering flexibility in use.

However, the presence of this telescopic mechanism is optional, as the system could also work with fixed or other types of bars depending on the user's preferences.

The system could also include support pieces at the corners of the cabinet to position the bars. These pieces allow the bars to protrude, facilitating their linear extension and proper deployment of the mesh.

The arrangement of the clamping pieces is optional, as the system could be adjusted to fit furniture with different configurations or using other clamping methods.

The support pieces could also have a horizontal upper base with two vertical angled lower edges, which fit into the trihedral corners of the cabinet. In addition, each piece could incorporate a hollow lateral cylindrical body that supports the bar.

This structure would ensure that the bars are securely positioned on each side of the furniture, but this feature is not essential for the system to function, as other fixing solutions could also be viable.

Finally, the support parts could be made of durable materials, such as aluminum or reinforced plastic. These materials offer a good balance between weight and strength, but the choice of material will depend on the user's preferences and the specific requirements of the piece of furniture in question.

To use the changing table safety system, the user must install the netting on the furniture frame, securing it with the fixing hardware. Once in place, the user must unfold the netting and adjust the bars to fit the changing table surface, ensuring adequate coverage.

During use, the system must remain locked to prevent unintentional movement, providing an effective protective barrier. Upon completion, the user can retract the mesh and disassemble the system if necessary, making it easy to store or reuse.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

The safety system for changing furniture, object of this invention, comprises a protective mesh (1) configured to unfold and cover the side part of a children's changing furniture, below the upper surface of the furniture, where the baby is changed, preventing the infant from falling in the event of a tip-over. Said mesh (1) is supported by bars (2) adjustable in length that allow it to be extended or folded back. The bars (2) are secured to the furniture by means of fastening pieces (3), which have been designed to be securely fixed to different types of furniture and guarantee the stability of the mesh (1).

In a preferred embodiment, the mesh (1) is made of a resilient, elastic material capable of withstanding sudden loads without yielding or deforming. Suitable materials for its manufacture include nylon and polyester, thus providing high durability and mechanical resistance.

Preferably, the bars (2) have a telescopic mechanism that allows for linear extension, enabling them to adapt to furniture of different sizes. This feature gives the system greater versatility, ensuring its compatibility with a wide variety of changing table models.

Generally, there are at least four clamping pieces (3) arranged at each corner of the upper surface of the furniture. Two clamping pieces (3) are located on each side, allowing each bar (2) to be secured and stabilized. These bar protrude from the furniture structure to facilitate its linear extension and the deployment of the mesh (1). This configuration ensures a stable and uniform clamping.

In another preferred embodiment, the fastening pieces (3) each have a horizontal upper base with two vertical angular lower edges, forming a trihedron, which fit into the corners of the furniture and can be fixed with adhesive. On their outer side they incorporate a cylindrical body that holds and supports the bar (2), allowing it to be positioned precisely and securely on each side of the furniture.

Typically, the clamping pieces (3) hold the telescopic mechanism of the corresponding bar (2) by means of an adjustable fixing mechanism, such as a threaded wing nut, which allows its removal and repositioning at the user's convenience. This feature provides flexibility in the installation and disassembly of the system, adapting to different usage needs.

Alternatively, the clamping members (3) are preferably made of a strong material, such as aluminum or reinforced plastic, providing an optimal balance between weight and strength. This selection of materials contributes to the durability of the system and its ability to withstand loads without compromising its functionality.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which the protection sought will also be extended as long as its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
