Abstract
A foldable bassinet including a center tube, at least two frames, and at least two frame connectors. Each frame connector is disposed on a corresponding frame. The center tube is connected between the at least two frame connectors. At least one of the frame connectors includes a bassinet lock, a first tube and a second tube. The bassinet lock includes a first hinge fixed to the first tube, a second hinge fixed to the second tube and rotatably connected to the first hinge, and a locking hub disposed on the center tube and slidably located between the first hinge and the second hinge. When the bassinet lock is unlocked, the center tube is movable in an upward direction and the foldable bassinet is movable from an unfolded position to a folded position.
Claims21
A foldable bassinet, comprising:
- a center tube;
- at least two frames;
- and
- at least two frame connectors, each frame connector disposed on a corresponding frame, the center tube being connected between the at least two frame connectors, at least one of the frame connectors comprising a bassinet lock, a first tube and a second tube, the bassinet lock comprising:
- a first hinge fixed to the first tube;
- a second hinge fixed to the second tube and rotatably connected to the first hinge;
- and
- a locking hub disposed on the center tube and slidably located between the first hinge and the second hinge;
- wherein when the bassinet lock is unlocked, the center tube is movable in an upward direction and the foldable bassinet is movable from an unfolded position to a folded position.
A foldable bassinet, comprising:
- a center tube;
- at least two frames;
- and
- at least two frame connectors, each frame connector disposed on a corresponding frame, the center tube being connected between the at least two frame connectors, at least one of the frame connectors comprising a first tube rotatably connected to a first one of the at least two frames, a second tube rotatably connected to the first one of the at least two frames, and a bassinet lock connected to at least one of the first tube and the second tube, and
- a locking hub disposed on the center tube and slidably disposed within the bassinet lock, the locking hub is slidable between a locked position, in which the first tube and the second tube are prevented from rotating, and an unlocked position, in which the first tube and the second tube are free to rotate, wherein rotation of the first tube and the second tube cause the center tube to move in an upward direction and the foldable bassinet to move from an unfolded position to a folded position.
A foldable bassinet comprising:
- a center tube;
- at least two frames;
- and
- at least two frame connectors, each frame connector disposed on a corresponding frame, the center tube being connected between the at least two frame connectors, at least one of the frame connectors comprising a first tube rotatably connected to a first one of the at least two frames, a second tube rotatably connected to the first one of the at least two frames, and a bassinet lock connected to at least one of the first tube and the second tube,
- wherein the bassinet lock further comprises a first hinge fixed to the first tube and a second hinge fixed to the second tube and rotatably connected to the first hinge, and a locking hub disposed on the center tube and slidably located between the first hinge and the second hinge, and
- wherein the bassinet lock is configured to transition between a locked position, in which the first tube and the second tube are prevented from rotating, and an unlocked position, in which the first tube and the second tube are free to rotate, wherein rotation of the first tube and the second tube cause the center tube to move in an upward direction and the foldable bassinet to move from an unfolded position to a folded position.
