Apparatus for moving a crib

Abstract

A device for moving a crib, including two base elements, formed as separate units, for supporting a head or foot region of the cot, wherein each base element has a bottom element for positioning the base element on the ground and a, in particular panel-type, contact element that is moveably arranged relative to the bottom element. One of the two base elements has a drive arranged in the region of a housing of its bottom element and connected to the contact element by a coupling element.

         11 . An apparatus for moving a crib, comprising: two base elements that form two separate units and support a head region and a foot region of the crib, wherein each base element comprises a floor element for positioning the base element on an underlying surface and also a support element arranged so as to be movable relative to the base element, wherein one of the two base elements has a drive arranged in a region of a housing of its floor element and is connected to the support element by a coupling element, wherein the two support elements are arranged in a movable manner in a plane of the support elements, and wherein, for relative movement between the floor elements and the support elements, roller elements are provided between the support elements and the floor elements. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the support elements are arranged so as to be pivotable about a common axis of rotation arranged perpendicularly in relation to the plane of the support elements. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the support elements are arranged in a linearly movable manner in the plane of the support elements. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , further comprising guide tracks for the roller elements, wherein the roller elements, which are preferably arranged such that they can be pivoted about an axis running perpendicularly in relation to the plane of the support elements, interact and roll in the guide tracks. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the roller elements, are arranged so as to be pivotable about an axis running perpendicularly in relation to the plane of the support elements. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the drive includes an electric motor and a transmission that is connected to the electric motor and has a belt drive and a flywheel, and in that, on the transmission side, the coupling element is arranged on a pitch diameter around an axis of rotation of an output element of the transmission. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the housings of the floor elements and also the support elements each consist at least essentially of a wood material. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the drive is connected to the housing of the floor element via damping elements. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , further comprising noise-reduction elements arranged in the housing of the floor element that has the drive. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the support element that is coupled to the drive is fixable relative to its associated floor element by an arresting device. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus according to  claim 11 , further comprising at least one connecting element that rigidly connects the base elements together in order to adjust a distance between the two base elements and to align the base elements in relation to one another, wherein the at least one connecting element is coupleable to the base element or to another connecting element. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus according to  claim 21 , wherein the at least one connecting element is coupleable to the base element or to another connecting element by a form-fitting connection.
