BODY FOR CARRYCOTS AND SIMILAR DEVICES
Abstract
A body for carrycots and similar is very simple and of reduced
weight, the manufacture of which does not require any additional
assembly, with everything necessary integrated into the part
forming the body. The carrycot body includes two similar superposed
receptacles that are joined together by the peripheries of their
mouths, with the upper receptacle, which forms the interior part of
the indicated body, being made of a lightweight material and the
lower receptacle, which forms the exterior part of the body, being
made of a strong material.

Claims
1. Body for carrycots and similar devices, comprising two
receptacles of similar configuration, each of the receptacles
including a mouth; the two recptacles being superposed and joined
together by peripheries of their mouths, with an upper receptacle,
which forms an interior part of a body, being made of a lightweight
material and a lower receptacle, which forms an exterior part of
the body, being made of a strong material.
2. Body for carrycots and similar devices, in accordance with claim
1, wherein the upper receptacle mouth has a tab on an edge that is
applied to the edge of mouth of the lower receptacle in a union
between the two receptacles.
Description
[0001] This application claims benefit of Ser. No. 201130035, filed
18 Jan. 2011 in Spain and which application is incorporated herein
by reference. To the extent appropriate, a claim of priority is
made to each of the above disclosed applications.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
[0002] Nowadays, the bodies of carrycots and similar devices
consist of a receptacle, generally manufactured by plastic material
injection, inside of which the parts forming the interior walls are
fixed, the bottom and the details forming the body interior, which
represents a costly manufacturing process for separately obtaining
the various parts and the fixing operations for the interior parts
in the receptacle.
INVENTION SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of this invention is a body for carrycots and
similar devices that is very simple and of reduced weight, the
manufacture of which does not require any additional assembly, with
everything necessary integrated into the part forming the body. For
this reason, the carrycot body consists of two similar superposed
receptacles that are joined together by the peripheries of their
mouths, with the upper receptacle, which forms the interior part of
the indicated body, being made of a lightweight material and the
lower receptacle, which forms the exterior part of the body, is
made of a strong material.
[0004] The upper receptacle shall be preferably made of a foam
material, such as "Porexpan" and the lower receptacle of resin,
such a polycarbonate or fibre glass.
[0005] This carrycot body presents optimum protection against a
collision, by absorbing the energy, excellent strength, because of
the volumetric manufacture and is compact with good stability.
[0006] These and other characteristics can be better understood
from the following detailed description, which is facilitated by a
sheet of drawings that represent a practical embodiment that is
cited only as a non-limiting example of the scope of this
invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0007] FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the upper
receptacle that will form the interior part of a carrycot body.
[0008] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the lower receptacle that
will form the exterior part of a carrycot body.
[0009] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the carrycot covered by this
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] In accordance with the drawings, the carrycot body (1)
comprises two receptacles (2 and 3) of similar constitution that
are superposed and joined together by the peripheries of their
mouths (4 and 5), with the upper receptacle (2), which forms the
interior part of body (1), being made of a lightweight material,
such as a foam material like extruded "Porexpan". The lower
receptacle (3), which forms the exterior part of body (1), is made
of a strong material, such as injected resin with fibre glass.
[0011] For the union between the two receptacles, the edge of upper
receptacle (2) mouth (4) has a tab (4') on its edge that is applied
to the edge of mouth (5) of the lower receptacle (3).
[0012] This union can be made by any conventional method, for
example, gluing, welding, screwing or also be insertion of a
receptacle, for example, the upper (2) into the mould during the
manufacture of the other receptacle, the lower (3).
[0013] In accordance with the constitution that is required for the
carrycot, the two receptacles, with generally similar constitution,
present significant structure and design details, such as orifices
(0) in the backrest area for passing the child-restraining straps
in the carrycot, the lower supports (A) and the lateral entries (E)
for passing the safety belt for securing the carrycot to a
car-seat.
[0014] The obtained carrycot body is completed with conventional
accessories, such as the headrest, upholstery and the inclusion of
a transport handle and it shall present the necessary means for
coupling to a platform fitted with "Isofix" anchoring means for
securing the carrycot to a car-seat.
[0015] It is understood that the characteristics of this carrycot
can be equally applied to similar products, such as cots and
children's seats.
[0016] The essence of the invention can be put into practice in
other embodiment forms that only differ in details from that
indicated only as an example, which similarly attain the claimed
protection. Thus, this body for carrycots and similar may be
manufactured in any size and shape, using the most suitable means
and materials and the most adequate accessories, with the component
elements being replaced by other technically equivalent ones,
because everything is within the spirit of the claims.
