Baby bouncer with a width variable frame

Abstract

A baby bouncer with a width variable frame is configured to have an erected configuration for use as a regular baby bouncer, and a folded configuration for reducing the width of the baby bouncer when being not in use. The frame of the baby bouncer includes at least a base frame, a pair of bouncing support rods and a baby carrier frame. The base frame and the bouncing support rods are associated by two gear elements. By meshing the first gear element and the second gear element, the bouncing support rods and the bouncing support rods are capable of simultaneously rotating in an opposite direction either in erecting or folding of the baby bouncer. When need to fold the frame of baby bouncer into the folded configuration, care-giver may unlock two lockable joints of the baby carrier frame and fold to associating the bouncing support rods and the base frame.

         2 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , further included a pair of elastic elements ( 25 ) mounted in the pivot mount ( 13 ) for cushioning the bouncing support rods ( 2 ) in bouncing movements. 
     
     
         3 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the pivot mount ( 13 ) is formed with two guiding slots ( 29 ) for guiding the left base frame ( 11 ) and the right base frame ( 12 ), so as to guide the left base frame ( 11 ) and the right base frame ( 12 ) to be opened in a horizontal plan and folded in a overlapped configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the left curved frame ( 31 ) and the right curved frame ( 32 ) are capable of keeping the pair of bouncing support rods ( 2 ) in the wider position ( 23 ) when being locked by the two lockable joints ( 34 ) in the opened position ( 30 ), and capable of driving the pair of bouncing support rods ( 2 ) via the two connectors ( 33 ) to the closed position ( 24 ) when care-giver has unlocked the two lockable joints ( 34 ) and rotate the left curved frame ( 31 ) and the right curved frame ( 32 ) to the folded position ( 40 ). 
     
     
         5 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the left base frame ( 11 ) and a right base frame ( 12 ) are associated with the pair of bouncing support rods ( 2 ), and having an opened configuration ( 15 ) and a closed configuration ( 16 ). 
     
     
         6 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the left base frame ( 11 ) and a right base frame ( 12 ) are overlapped with each other in the closed configuration ( 16 ). 
     
     
         7 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the left base frame ( 11 ) and a right base frame ( 12 ) each being connected at least an anti-slide element ( 14 ) for preventing the baby bouncer from sliding on the ground during in use. 
     
     
         8 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the pair of bouncing support rods ( 2 ) each is formed with a solid metal rod. 
     
     
         9 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the pair of bouncing support rods ( 2 ) each is formed with a metal tube. 
     
     
         10 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 1 , further included first gear element ( 21 ) and a second gear element ( 22 ) meshed with each other; wherein the bouncing support rods ( 2 ) are connected to the first gear element ( 21 ) and a second gear element ( 22 ) for capable of simultaneously rotating in opposite direction with each other. 
     
     
         11 . The baby bouncer with a width variable frame according to  claim 10 , wherein the first gear element ( 21 ) is connected with the left base frame ( 11 ), and the second gear element ( 22 ) is connected with the right base frame ( 12 ), so as to keep the left base frame ( 11 ) and the right base frame ( 12 ) capable of simultaneously rotating in opposite direction with each other.
