Abstract
A support surface assembly comprising four corner elements; at least four elongated rigid frame sections; a first air permeable layer suspended between the at least four elongated rigid frame sections; and a second air permeable layer suspended between the at least four elongated rigid frame sections; wherein the four corner elements include at least one lock element, the lock element having a first position that engages at least one elongated frame section and prevents relative movement between the four elongated rigid frame sections; the lock element having a second position that permits relative movement between the four elongated rigid frame sections.
Claims23
A support surface assembly comprising:
- four corner elements;
- at least four elongated rigid frame sections;
- a first air permeable layer suspended between the at least four elongated rigid frame sections and defining an upper side of the support surface assembly for supporting a child when the support surface assembly is in a first orientation;
- and
- a second air permeable layer suspended between the at least four elongated rigid frame sections in spaced apart relationship from the first air permeable layer and defining a lower side of the support surface assembly for supporting a child when the support surface assembly is in a second orientation, the lower side facing opposite the upper side;
- wherein the four corner elements include at least one lock element, the lock element having a first position that engages at least one elongated frame section and prevents relative movement between the four elongated rigid frame sections;
- the lock element having a second position that permits relative movement between the four elongated rigid frame sections.
A ventilated mattress, comprising:
- a frame, comprising
- a first frame bar having a first end coupled to a first hinge plate, a second end coupled to a second hinge plate, and a rigid body extending from the first ends to the second end,
- a second frame bar having a first end coupled to a third hinge plate, a second end coupled to a fourth hinge plate, and a rigid body extending from the first end to the second end,
- a first folding arm having a first end coupled to a first hinge connected to the first hinge plate and a second end coupled to a first folding arm hinge,
- a second folding arm having a first end coupled to a second hinge connected to the third hinge plate and a second end coupled to the first folding arm hinge;
- and
- a cover formed of air permeable material and configured to fit over the frame;
- wherein the first hinge, the second hinge and the first folding arm hinge permit the first folding arm and the second folding arm to pivot from an expanded position toward a center of the frame into a collapsed position.
A mattress, comprising:
- a pair of longitudinal bars;
- a pair of width bars;
- a pair of hinges coupling one of the longitudinal bars to the pair of width bars;
- a pair of hinge mechanisms coupling the other of the longitudinal bars to the pair of width bars;
- and
- a cover configured to fit over the longitudinal bars and the width bars;
- wherein the hinge mechanisms comprise a fixed member and a pivoting lock member joined by a hinge rod, the fixed member being immovably connected to the other of the longitudinal bars.
A mattress, comprising:
- a pair of longitudinal bars;
- a pair of width bars;
- a pair of hinges coupling one of the longitudinal bars to the pair of width bars;
- a pair of hinge mechanisms coupling the other of the longitudinal bars to the pair of width bars;
- and
- a cover configured to fit over the longitudinal bars and the width bars;
- wherein the hinge mechanisms comprise a fixed hinge member and a pivoting lock member joined by a hinge rod, the fixed hinge member being connected to the other of the longitudinal bars;
- and
- wherein the pivoting lock member comprises a lock housing, a lock and a detent receiver, the lock housing being sized to fit between the pair of width bars.
