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.
Description
- The present invention relates to a baby bathing supply, and particularly to a baby bathing net frame.
- The bone structure of newborn babies is not yet fully developed, nor can newborn babies communicate verbally. Thus, bathing a baby may be a huge challenge for novice parents, who may then need to counsel professional hygienists and dedicate extensive amounts of efforts and learning time in order to gradually become well-experienced.
- Current family patterns are mainly small households, and family members may be engaged in work. Apart from the hospitalized period when a baby is born, it is difficult to find professional and well-experienced persons to guide one to bathe a baby. Thus, novice parents may usually be off-handed and not know how to deal with unexpected situations.
- To alleviate psychological burdens of novice parents and to help bathing babies, there are various kinds of bathing supplies for assisting bathing babies. For example, a
bathing basin 1 that satisfies the size of a baby and a bathingnet frame 2 placed in thebathing basin 1, as shown inFIG. 1 , help support a baby, and are some of most handy conventional bathing supplies. Primarily, the bathingnet frame 2 has one end hung at an edge of thebathing basin 1 and one other end being in contact with the bottom of thebathing basin 1, and an appropriately amount of bathing water (not shown) is placed in the bathing basin. Thus, a baby (not shown) is positioned to face down or lie on thebathing net frame 2, which then assists in supporting the baby, so that novice parents are not required to manually hold the baby throughout the bathing process to alleviate the load of the arms. - The above conventional bathing assisting supplies indeed alleviate burdens for novice parents to a certain level, and effectively help novice parents bathe a baby. However, due to not only insufficient experience of notice parents but also a small baby being too small to sit upright or to grip the
bathing basin 1 nearby, when a baby is being bathed, the baby is in a somewhat helpless and unsupported environment, such that the baby may feel insecure and even become repellent and scared of bathing. Further, when placed in thebathing basin 1, the bathingnet frame 2 is sloped. Particularly for a baby of a smaller body size, although thebathing net frame 2 is used, the baby is still exposed to a risk of accidentally slipping off and in-taking bathing water during the bathing process as thebathing net frame 2 is sloped. Once psychological fear is caused as the baby in-takes the bathing water, the baby may become more scared of bathing, hence making baby bathing even more challenging for novice parents. - Therefore, it is a primary object of the present invention to design a baby bathing net frame capable of preventing a baby from accidentally slipping off and in-taking bathing water. Thus, the baby may enjoy the fun of bathing in a safe environment.
- To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a baby bathing net frame applied with a bathing basin and for bathing a baby. The baby bathing net frame 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 one edge of the bathing basin. 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, the buoyancy of the buoyant element causes the lower rod to float and depart the lower portion of the bathing basin.
- Accordingly, in the present invention, the buoyancy generated by the buoyant element disposed causes the lower rod to float, such that the bathing net frame appears substantially horizontally leveled. Thus, the baby may lie on the bathing net frame with a better sense of security without causing issues of fearing the water or sliding to below the bathing water surface. For one bathing the baby, the baby may be partially immersed in the bathing water by applying a slight force, and the baby is allowed to joyfully play water and bathe in a partially immersed state, hence totally eliminating the issue of fearing taking a bath for the baby and enhancing parental fun.
