BABY BATHING NET FRAME

Abstract

A baby bathing net frame, applied with a bathing basin, includes a support frame, a carrying net and a buoyant element. The support frame includes an upper rod enclosing into a rectangle, two side rods and a lower rod. The upper rod is hung at an edge of the bathing basin, and the lower rod is in contact with a lower portion of the bathing basin. The carrying net is disposed on the support frame and is for carrying the baby. The buoyant element is disposed on the support frame and away from the upper rod. When bathing water is present in the bathing basin, buoyancy of the buoyant element causes the lower rod to float and depart the lower portion of the bathing basin. Thus, the baby is kept afloat on the bathing water surface through the buoyancy of the buoyant element when taking a bath.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Details of the present invention are given in the non-limiting embodiments below.

[0014] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a baby bathing net frame of the present invention, applied with a bathing basin 10 for bathing a baby (not shown), includes a support frame 20, a carrying net 30 and a buoyant element 40. The support frame 20 includes an upper rod 21 enclosing into a rectangle, two side rods 22 and a lower rod 23. The upper rod 21 is hung at an edge of the bathing basin 10, and the lower rod 23 is in contact with a lower portion of the bathing basin 10. The carrying net 30 is disposed on the support frame 20, and is for carrying a baby. The carrying net 30 includes a sac-like space 31 for accommodating the upper rod 21, the two side rods 22 and the lower rod 23. By accommodating the upper rod 21, the two side rods 22 and the lower rod 23 in the sac-like space 31, the carrying net 30 may be disposed on the support frame 20. The buoyant element 40 is disposed on the support frame 20 and away from the upper rod 21. When bathing water (not shown) is present in the bathing basin 10, the buoyancy of the buoyant element 40 causes the lower rod 23 to float and depart the lower portion of the bathing basin 10. For example, the buoyant element 40 may be made of a material having a density lower than that of water, e.g., foam, airbags and EVA plastic, in order to provide the buoyancy.

[0015] There are many ways to dispose the buoyant element 40 on the support frame 20 and away from the upper rod 21, with associated details described below. As shown in FIG. 3 showing a first embodiment of the present invention, the carrying net 30 includes a reverse folded portion 32 at one end away from the upper rod 21. The reverse folded portion 32 is reversely folded to envelope and fix the buoyant element 40 to secure the buoyant element 40. To meet detaching and cleaning needs, the end of the reverse folded portion 32 may be provided with an adhesive fastening element 33 capable of repeatedly adhering and fastening with the carrying net 30. By opening the adhesive fastening element 33, the buoyant element 40 may become removed.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 4 showing a second embodiment of the present invention, the buoyant element 40 may include an insertion surface 41 corresponding to the lower rod 23. The insertion surface 41 includes a fastening slot 411 that may be inserted by the lower rod 23. By inserting the lower rod 23 into the fastening slot 411 of the buoyant element 40, the buoyant element 40 may be secured to provide a simple assembly that satisfies various kinds of support frame 20.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 5 showing a third embodiment of the present invention, the buoyant element 40 may extend outwards to form a pedal 42 for the baby to step on. The pedal 42 may support feet of the baby to increase application safety.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 6 showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the buoyant element 40 may extend upwards to form a protruding column 43 for abutting against the baby. A surface of the protruding column 43 that is in contact with the baby may be an arched surface 431. By positioning the baby with the protruding column 43, the baby can be prevented from slipping off to enhance application safety.

[0019] Referring to FIG. 7 showing a fifth embodiment of the present invention, the two side rods 22 and the lower rod 23 form two angular corners 24, and the buoyant element 40 may be two angular blocks 44. Each of the angular blocks 44 includes an angular slot 441 to be inserted by one of the angular corners 24. By respectively inserting the angular blocks 44 into the angular slots 441 of the angular corners 24, the buoyant element 40 may be secured.

[0020] Referring to FIG. 8 showing a sixth embodiment of the present invention, the buoyant element 40 may be two strip blocks 45 each including a side slot 451 for each of the side rods 22 to insert therein. By respectively inserting the side rods 22 into the side slots 451 of the two strip blocks 45, the position of the buoyant element 40 may be adjusted to change a floating height of the lower rod 23.

[0021] As described, the prevent invention provides at least following advantages.

[0022] 1. With the buoyant element, the buoyancy generated by the buoyant element causes the lower rod to float, such that the bathing net frame may appear substantially horizontally leveled. Thus, the baby may lie on the bathing net frame with a sense of security without issues of fearing the water or slipping off to under the bathing water surface. 2. By slightly applying a force, the baby may be partially immersed in the bathing water. Thus, the baby may play with the water and enjoy bathing in a safe environment through the floating state, hence completely eliminating the issue of fearing to take a bath. 3. By reversely folding, enveloping and fixing the buoyant element using the reverse folded portion, detaching and cleaning needs are met. Further, the adhesive fastening element may be repeatedly adhered and fastened, such that the buoyant element may be easily removed and replaced. 4. The buoyant element may include a fastening slot for adapting to various kinds of support frames, thereby providing a simple assembly capable of quickly fastening the buoyant element. 5. The pedal for the baby to step on and the protrusion column for abutting against the baby are provided to enhance application safety. 6. The buoyant element may be made in forms as the angular blocks and the strip blocks to satisfy different application requirements.
