DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a bed, and more specifically, it relates to the structure of a bed which can be used by respective generations from an infant to an adult.
BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE
In general, beds include a great variety of ones from baby beds for infants to beds for adults. The beds for babies include for example, such a one that the bed itself swings, and another for employing the interior of the bed as a playpen. On the other hand, beds for adults include for example, those that are employed as a chair in the daytime and employed as a bed in the nighttime. There is also, for example, such a one that reclining mechanisms are provided on both end portions of the bed.
However, the aforementioned conventional various beds have limited use. The baby bed for an infant, for example, cannot be used when the child grows up. If an infant is laid down on a bed for an adult, then the infant will not be as comfortable as in a baby bed.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a bed comprising all of the functions for serving as a baby bed for an infant and the functions of a bed for an adult, which has been proposed in order to overcome such limitations of the prior art.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bed from which the parents' love, and the bonds with the parents, can be perceived in a bed for an infant which can be employed up to the time a person is an adult.
One embodiment of the present invention comprises a bed part, a frame body enclosing the periphery of the above bed part, which is adaptable for changing the area of the above bed part by changing its form, and height adjusting means supporting the above bed part for adjusting the height of the above bed part from a floor face.
Preferably, the above frame body has a slide mechanism which moves in the vertical direction with respect to the above bed part.
Preferably, the above height adjusting means has a leg part for adjusting the height of the above bed part from the floor face by being bent or pivoted in an inverted V shape from a substantially central portion.
Preferably, the above bed part is swingably supported with respect to the above height adjusting means by being coupled to a swing shaft which is provided on the above height adjusting means.
Preferably, the above frame body is provided with a mounted frame storing an affectionate message from parents to their child or the like, which is detachable with respect to the above frame body.
Due to the above structure, it is possible to provide a bed which can be used by respective generations from an infant to an adult, by changing the form of the frame body thereby changing the area of the bed part.
Next, a general embodiment of a bed, according to the present invention, comprises a bed part, a pair of panels, each reclinably mounted about an axis part provided in the vicinity of each end of the above bed part, and a bed base part for adjusting the height, from the floor, of a bed frame body including the above bed part and the above pair of panels, while also swingably supporting the above bed frame body. Further, the above bed frame body and the above bed base part are coupled with each other by swing shafts. The swing shafts extend downwardly from pivot axes located near each end of the bed base part. The lower ends of the swing shafts engage slots that are provided in the panels, so that the panels may be supported by the swing shafts. When the panels are in their most vertical position, i.e. least reclined, the panels rest on the lower ends of the swing shafts and the upper surface of the bed part is above the upper surface of the bed base part.
Due to the above structure, the bed frame body becomes swingable with respect to the bed base when the panels are in the most vertical, i.e. least reclined position. In this state, the bed can be employed as a swingable baby bed for an infant by providing side walls on both sides between the pair of panels, for example. In another state, the bed can be employed
