Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a support for child having an articulated framework, a bottom supported by this framework and a body element forming at least partial connection between the bottom and the framework. The framework has parallel longitudinal elements and hoop elements articulated on the longitudinal elements and forms a deformable parallelogram. One of the hoop elements, located at the foot end of the framework, is provided with an element which is fast therewith to constitute foot rest, while the body element comprises a rigid bottom made of two parts articulated transversely to each other. The bottom part closer to the foot rest is free with respect to the body element and supported by a crosspiece coupled to the framework in the form of a stirrup; the other bottom part is rendered fastened to the body element.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 259 words
A support means transformable into a seat or perambulator, comprising an articulated framework, a bottom supported by the framework and a body element forming at least a partial connection between the bottom and the framework, wherein the framework has a head end and a foot end and includes two first parallel longitudinal elements, two end hoop elements articulated on said first longitudinal elements, and two second parallel longitudinal elements parallel to said first longitudinal elements and articulated on said hoop elements so that, seen in profile, the hoop element-longitudinal element assembly constitutes a parallelogram deformable from a first position in which the longitudinal elements and hoop elements substantially form a frame contained in a plane to a second position in which said hoop elements form with the longitudinal elements three consecutive planes defining the general appearance of a seat, wherein the end hoop element located at the foot end of the framework includes means for defining a footrest, said footrest means being substantially perpendicular to the plane of said frame in the first position and being substantially parallel to said longitudinal elements in the second position, wherein the body element forms a substantially parallelepipedic pouch coupled at least to the transverse parts of said hoop elements and to the footrest means, and wherein the bottom includes two parts articulated transversely to each other, the bottom part nearer said footrest means being free with respect to the body element and supported by a first stirrup-shaped crosspiece coupled to said framework and the other bottom part being fastened to said pouch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 259 words
A support means transformable into a seat or perambulator, comprising an articulated framework, a bottom supported by the framework and a body element forming at least a partial connection between the bottom and the framework, wherein the framework has a head end and a foot end and includes two first parallel longitudinal elements, two end hoop elements articulated on said first longitudinal elements, and two second parallel longitudinal elements parallel to said first longitudinal elements and articulated on said hoop elements so that, seen in profile, the hoop element-longitudinal element assembly constitutes a parallelogram deformable from a first position in which the longitudinal elements and hoop elements substantially form a frame contained in a plane to a second position in which said hoop elements form with the longitudinal elements three consecutive planes defining the general appearance of a seat, wherein the end hoop element located at the foot end of the framework includes means for defining a footrest, said footrest means being substantially perpendicular to the plane of said frame in the first position and being substantially parallel to said longitudinal elements in the second position, wherein the body element forms a substantially parallelepipedic pouch coupled at least to the transverse parts of said hoop elements and to the footrest means, and wherein the bottom includes two parts articulated transversely to each other, the bottom part nearer said footrest means being free with respect to the body element and supported by a first stirrup-shaped crosspiece coupled to said framework and the other bottom part being fastened to said pouch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The support means according to claim 1, wherein the first stirrup-shaped crosspiece is fastened to the end hoop element located at the foot end of the framework.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
The support means according to claim 1, wherein the first stirrup-shaped crosspiece is fastened to the two first longitudinal elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 43 words
The support means according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein said second longitudinal elements are connected by a second stirrup-shaped crosspiece, said second stirrup-shaped crosspiece forming a support for the bottom part fastened to said pouch in the first position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 46 words
The support means according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the end hoop element located at the head end of the framework is provided with a lower return part in the form of a stirrup for supporting the head end of the pouch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 45 words
The support means according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the bottom part fastened to the pouch includes means for connecting it to the end hoop element located at head end of the framework in the vicinity of the transverse part thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 76 words
The support means according to claim 6, wherein the end hoop element located at the head end of the framework is provided with a lower return part in the form of a stirrup for supporting the head end of the pouch, said lower return part of the head hoop element including a member for laterally and longitudinally holding the bottom of the pouch and for guiding the latter for connection thereof to the head hoop element.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
The support means according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the longitudinal edges of the pouch are elastic.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 30 words
