Abstract
Abstract An article of furniture includes a frame comprising a pair of similar spaced-apart side elements formed from lengths of steel rod curved at least near their ends and adapted to rest on a surface on the portions between the curved ends with these ends curving upwardly from the surface, and a pair of spaced-apart cross elements joining corresponding free ends of the side elements, and a web secured to, and spanning the space between, the cross elements. The portions of the side elements between the curved end portions are curved to form rockers, the curve of the side elements being such as to support one cross element higher above a surface on which the article stands than the other, the web being relatively tight between the cross elements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A bed for a baby comprising a pair of spaced apart, substantially parallel, rocker elements formed from steel rod, each element being curved towards each end to form oppositely directed substantially S-shaped portions, the free ends of each element being directed away from each other, a pair of substantially straight, parallel, spaced apart cross elements joining corresponding free ends of the side elements, and a web secured to and tensioned between the side elements, the web being substantially inextensible longitudinally, and means for restraining a baby on the web with its head towards one cross element, its feet towards the other, the configuration of the rocker elements being such that when the bed is occupied it tends to assume an equilibrium position in which the baby''s head is not lower than its feet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A bed for a baby comprising a pair of spaced apart, substantially parallel, rocker elements formed from steel rod, each element being curved towards each end to form oppositely directed substantially S-shaped portions, the free ends of each element being directed away from each other, a pair of substantially straight, parallel, spaced apart cross elements joining corresponding free ends of the side elements, and a web secured to and tensioned between the side elements, the web being substantially inextensible longitudinally, and means for restraining a baby on the web with its head towards one cross element, its feet towards the other, the configuration of the rocker elements being such that when the bed is occupied it tends to assume an equilibrium position in which the baby''s head is not lower than its feet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A bed as claimed in claim 1 which is collapsible the cross elements comprising lengths of steel pipe, and a short length of each end of each rocker element being bent substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the rocker element, these short lengths being adapted to engage in the ends of The cross elements, and means being provided releasably to retain them so engaged.
