Abstract:
A base of a foldable baby bed, comprising:(a) a connecting rod combination consisting of four connecting rods;(b) a middle member having a supporting pole, two hollows at two sides of said supporting pole, first connecting protrusions and second connecting protrusions; said hollows each having a spring received therein; said supporting pole being provided for supporting said base from a ground; said middle member further having an elongated hole;(c) a first pivotal rod having a curved recess at an outer end thereof; said first pivotal rod having two opposing connecting protrusions at a middle portion, pivotted to one of said first connecting protrusions of said middle member; said first pivotal rod having a locating block at and opposite end of said curved recess, passed into one of said springs;(d) a second pivotal rod hving a curved recess at an outer end thereof; said second pivotal rod having two opposing connecting protrusions at a middle portion, pivoted to other one of said second connecting protrusions of said middle member; said second pivotal rod having a locating block at an opposite end of said curved recess thereof, passed into other one of said springs; said second pivotal rod being pivoted to said first pivotal rod for permitting said second rod to be capable of pivoting with each other;(e) a belt passed through said elongated hole of said middle member, and connected to said first pivotal rod for permitting said first rod to be pivoted on said connecting protrusion on pulling said belt;(f) two turning members each having a rod part, and two connecting parts; said rod parts being through holes of a respective one of said second connecting protrusions of said middle member; said connecting parts being connected to two ends of said rod parts; said connecting rods of said connecting rod combination being each pivoted to a corresponding one of said connecting part; said rod parts each having a stopping block, adjacent to a wall of said middle member, and a stopping element opposing a corresponding one of said stopping block, said stopping elements being located adjacent to, and stopped by, said curved recesses of said pivotal rods when said bed is stretched to an unfolded in-use position for preventing said turning members from turning relative to said middle member, said wall stopping said stopping block from moving inwardly to prevent said rod parts of said turning member from turning inwardly, said turning members being capable of turned to fold said bed to a not-in-use position when said belt is pulled to pivot said first and said second pivotal rods on said middle member for said curved recesses to be moved away from, and no longer stop said stopping elements.
