Benefits of technology

[0006]One advantage of this invention is its ease of operation. The invention uses an actuator controlled via a foot pedal switch to easily adjust the crib height. A second advantage is the use of a cross hinge structure, that when folded, it is small in size, and easy to carry or transport. A third advantage is that it uses a lithium battery that eliminates the need to use a cable to provide electrical power to the actuator. Therefore, the invention is safe, attractive and suitable for outdoor usage.

Problems solved by technology

This kind of hydraulic device is not only difficult to operate but also large in size and inconvenient to carry or transport.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]As illustrated in the FIGS. 1-3, a crib frame 10 according to the present invention 10 includes a bottom chassis 12, an upper chassis 14, an electric motor 16 and a connecting chassis 18 that connects the upper chassis 14 and the bottom chassis 12.

[0012]In normal usage a plurality of parallel slats (not shown) extends across the top of the top chassis to support a mattress (not shown). These slats are not shown FIGS. 2 and 3 so that the height-adjusting features of the invention can be illustrated.

[0013]The connecting chassis 18 includes a first support frame 20 and a second support frame 22. The first support frame 20 includes a first pair of parallel support members 24 and 26, each of which have lower ends 28 that are pivotally connected to the bottom chassis by brackets 30 and 32. The first support frame 20 also includes upper ends 33 that terminate in rollers 34 and 36. The rollers 34 and 36 are arranged to fit with correspond tracks 38 and 40 that are mounted on opposite ...

Abstract

A crib frame includes a lower chassis, an upper chassis, a connecting chassis that connects the lower chassis and upper chassis, and a driving mechanism. The connecting chassis includes a first supporting chassis and a second supporting chassis. The driving mechanism includes an electric motor and an actuator. The first supporting chassis and the second supporting chassis are connected in an “X” shape. One end of the actuator is connected to the first supporting chassis and the other end is connected to the bottom chassis and arranged to control the height of the upper chassis relative to the lower chassis.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Priority is claimed based on U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 460,579, filed Jan. 5, 2011.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to a lifting device for a bed frame bottom and particularly to a baby crib chassis.[0003]Most baby / toddler beds provide the capability of adjusting the height of the mattress to provide convenience in positioning the baby in bed or removing the baby from the bed. After the baby is placed in the crib, the mattress is lowered to prevent the baby from climbing out or rolling out of the crib. A rectangular frame typically supports the mattress such that raising or lowering the frame adjusts the mattress height. To adjust the height of the baby / toddler bed, usually, people use a height-adjusting device in the bed. Existing lifting devices mostly use hydraulic or mechanical systems. This kind of hydraulic device is not only difficult to operate but also large in size and inconvenient to ca...
