  • Cots, cribs, hammocks and different types of beds are well-known methods of putting babies and young children to sleep. Some of these have specific advantageous features based on well-known observations such, as a swinging or rocking motion induces most babies to sleep, many babies like being swaddled and prefer close fitting comfort such as a hammock would provide during sleep and a baby usually prefers to sleep in the same bed and tends to suffer disruptions in its sleep pattern if forced to change beds e.g. on holiday.
  • the present invention provides a portable cot comprising a collapsible support and a sleeping container swingable therefrom characterised in that the support comprises a collapsible support frame and the sleeping container is a hammock which hangs from the support frame in use and comprises a collapsible frame, which is rigid in an erected condition, carrying a flexible hammock member therefrom.
  • the hammock frame is collapsible by detaching component frame members from one another.
  • the component frame members may be connected to one another at joints each made between two frame members at which one said frame member overlies the other and a connecting member passes from the lower frame member through an aperture in he upper frame member and a connection is made therefrom to the support frame to hang the hammock.
  • the hammock frame may have a pair of longer side frame members and a pair of shorter end frame members and is preferably rectangular.
  • the hammock member may have a pair of detachable end panels.
  • the longest dimension of the support frame or longest component thereof when collapsed preferably does not substantially exceed the length of the hammock member.
  • the support frame may be collapsible by folding at joints or by detaching component support frame members from one another.
  • the cot may comprise a removable cover and/or ⁇ a removable hood.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective, the cot comprising a tubular metal frame with the hammock in position inside the frame.
  • Figure 2 shows a drawstring bag containing the folded cot.

  • Figure 7 shows in perspective, another example of the cot comprising a wooden construction.
  • Figure 8 details the wooden joint at one end of the frame.
  • Figure 9 details one corner of the wooden-sided hammock.
  • Figure 10 shows how each of the two types of assemblies can be rolled inside the hammock.
  • Figures 11 and 12 illustrate an adaptation of the hammock to facilitate the attachment of a hood and a cover for outdoor use and an attachment for hooking a safety harness.
  • the cot comprises a rigid-sided hammock 1 , releasably hung inside a support frame by a nylon chord 3 or similar means attached to a hook 4 or similar device at each end.
  • the frame comprises a central rod 2 and four legs 10 joined together, a pair to each end of the central rod, by a pair of flanges or similar means at each end, one pair of flanges 11 being shorter than the other 12.

  • To re-erect the cot the steps described above are followed in reverse sequence.
  • the cot comprises a rigid-sided hammock 20 similar to the one described in example 1 but held rigid ⁇ by wooden rods instead of metal tubing or similar material, the' sides of the hammock being detachable at the corner junctions 21 illustrated in Figure 9 and the hammock hung releasably inside the wooden frame by nylon cords 25 and hooks 31 as illustrated in Figure 7 and similar to the means described in example 1.
  • the wooden support frame comprises five wooden rods, four as legs 22 and one as the central rod 23.
  • the central rod is attached at each end to one pair of legs by means of a wooden joint 24 which has three holes at specific angles and of sufficient depth into which one end of the central rod and the top ends of one pair of legs are pushed home as illustrated in Figure 8.
  • the joint also has a hook 31 or similar device to facilitate one end of the hammock to be hung by a nylon cord 26 or similar means.
  • the support frame is held rigid and the legs prevented from slipping out of the joints by the tension in the retaing cord which is hooked tense into the four legs by means of leg-hooks 27 at the bottom of each leg such that the tension locks the legs and the central rod into the joints.
  • the hammock In order to dismantle the cot the hammock is released from the support frame and the shorter sides 28 of the hammock are detached at the corners by threading the hanging cord 25 through the holes 29 in the shorter sides and unbuttoning the side flaps 30.
  • the flaps are pla_ced inside the hammock and the hammock placed to one side.
  • the frame is dismantled by releasing the retaining cord from any leg-hook thus releasing the tension in the joints and enabling the legs and central rod to be pulled out of the joints.
  • the legs and central rod are then bundled together and placed inside the hammock along with the joints, the retaining cord bein* ⁇ either removed and placed separately inside the hammock or left hooked into three legs.
  • the hammock is now wrapped around the bundle as illustrated in Figure 10 and placed inside a bag or similar device to the one described in example 1.
  • the hammock may also be adapted to have attachments, as illustrated in Figure 11 and Figure 12, to fit a hood 40 and a cover 41 for outdoor use and an attachment 47 for a child's safety harness to prevent a child if necessary, from climbing out.
  • press sluds 42 or similar means are provided whereby a hood 40 and a cover 41 may be attached such that when detached they can be rolled inside the hammock along with the rest of the assembly as described in the two examples above.
  • the hood 40 consists of a fabric in the shape of a trapezium with press studs 42 or similar means on three sides. ' The fourth and longest side is adapted to, have a flexible plastic strip 43 or similar device attached such that it can be bowed to form a hood and may have protruding extensions 46 at each end to prevent the hood springing loose by insertion inside the sides of the hammock.

  • the range of lengths for the hammock members may vary according to the age group that a particular size may be made for with an upper range of 105 cms (3* 6") and a lower range of 60 cms (2').
  • the preferred ideal size may be closer to between 95cms and 100 cms (3'2" to 3'4") to cater for children of upto 95 cms (3'2") in height.
  • the support frame has been designed in stich a way that all the members are largely under compressive stresses and facilitate the hammock when loaded, to have a low centre of gravity for greater stabilty even under vigorous swinging whilst putting a baby to sleep.
  • the height range for the support frame in order to cater for the range of hammock sizes mentioned above, may vary between 60 cms (2') and 90 cms (3 1 ) with a preferred ideal of 75 cms (2*6").
  • the present design within the preferred size ranges has, when constructed in 16mm external diameter 1.5mm thick aluminium tubing, been shown to be capable of carrying the weight of an average adult and should therefore provide an adequate margin of safety for children.
