Abstract
A cot includes a cloth having horizontal poles inserted into both ends thereof; a plurality of lateral support bars for supporting a load in contact with the ground, at least one of the plurality of lateral support bars comprising a support bar first portion pivotally connected to a support bar second portion such that the support bar has a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position; and a plurality of connection bars connected to both ends of each support bar and respectively having clips at terminals thereof to receive the horizontal poles.
Claims20
A cot comprising:
- a cloth having horizontal poles insertable into a first side of the cloth and a second side of the cloth;
- at least two sets of leg supports, each of the at least two sets of leg supports comprising:
- a first hub and a second hub, the first hub comprising a first void for receiving a first leg tube and a second void for receiving a second leg tube, a third void for receiving a first connection bar, and a fourth void for receiving a first portion of a lateral bar;
- the second hub comprising a first void for receiving a third leg tube and a second void for receiving a fourth leg tube, a third void for receiving a second connection bar, and a fourth void for receiving a second portion of the lateral bar;
- wherein the first portion of the lateral bar and the second portion of the lateral bar are selectively movable between an extended, locked position and a stowed, unlocked position;
- and
- wherein the first and second connection bars have clips at terminals thereof to receive the horizontal poles.
A cot comprising:
- a cloth having a first horizontal pole inserted into a first side thereof and a second horizontal pole inserted into a second side thereof;
- a plurality of lateral support bars for supporting a load in contact with the ground, one of the plurality of lateral support bars comprising a support bar first portion pivotally connected to a support bar second portion such that the one of the plurality of support bars has a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position;
- and
- a plurality of connection bars connected to a first end and a second end of the plurality of lateral support bars and respectively having clips at terminals thereof to receive at least a portion of the first horizontal pole or the second horizontal pole.
A cot comprising:
- a load-bearing material in connection with a first horizontal pole on a first side and a second horizontal pole on a second side;
- a lateral support bar, the lateral support bar having a first end and a second end, and the lateral support bar comprising a support bar first portion pivotally connected to a support bar second portion such that the lateral support bar has a first, locked position and a second, unlocked position;
- and
- the first end of the lateral support bar in connection with a portion of the first horizontal pole and the second end of the lateral support bar in connection with a portion of the second horizontal pole, such that the first, locked position of the lateral support bar tensions the load-bearing material between the first horizontal pole and the second horizontal pole.
