Collapsible baby cot

Abstract

A collapsible baby cot has a support frame consisting of a first closed hoop of resilient flexible material defining a periphery of a cot base, a second closed hoop of resilient flexible material defining an upper edge of a cot wall and an open hoop of resilient flexible material having first and second ends connected to one of the closed hoops and forming a cot handle. A fabric material substantially covers the cot base the cot wall. The support frame is collapsible to a series of circular loops that are smaller than the closed hoops.

1 . A collapsible baby cot comprising: 
 a support frame comprising a first closed hoop of resilient flexible material defining a periphery of a cot base, a second closed hoop of resilient flexible material defining an upper edge of a cot wall and an open hoop of resilient flexible material having first and second ends connected to one of the closed hoops and forming a cot handle,    a fabric material substantially covering the cot base the cot wall, and    the support frame having an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, respectively forming a baby cot in the expanded configuration and collapsing to a series of circular loops in the collapsed configuration, the circular loops being smaller than the closed hoops.    
   
   
       2 . The cot of  claim 1  wherein the open hoop first and second ends are connected to the first closed hoop and the open hoop is connected to the second closed hoop intermediate its first and second ends.  
   
   
       3 . The cot of  claim 2  wherein the open hoop is detachably connected to the second closed hoop.  
   
   
       4 . The cot of  claim 3  wherein the detachable connection comprises a ring affixed to one of the open hoop or second closed hoop and a toggle attached to the other of said hoops for removably inserting through the ring.  
   
   
       5 . The cot of  claim 1  wherein the open hoop defines an edge of a cot canopy, the cot canopy substantially covered by a fabric material.  
   
   
       6 . The cot of  claim 1  further comprising a second open hoop of resilient flexible material having first and second ends connected to one of the closed hoops.  
   
   
       7 . The cot of  claim 1  further comprising a removable stiff panel dimensioned to fit on the cot base.  
   
   
       8 . The cot of  claim 1  further comprising a circular bag for storing the cot in the collapsed configuration.  
   
   
       9 . The cot of  claim 1  further comprising a mesh fabric material substantially supportable between parts of the open hoop and the second closed hoop.
