Side sleeping crib and relative frame

Abstract

A crib comprises at least one guide at the sides of a movable bar for dropping down a wall of the crib. A slider of the movable bar is adapted to slide along the guide, and a return system is configured to return the slider toward the upper end portion of the guide. A constraint element for securing the crib to a bed can be moved close to and spaced apart from the guide, and is connected to the return system to be able to be returned by the return system toward the guide. When the constraint element is retained in a position that is spaced apart from the guide, for example due to the fixation to a bed, the slider is prevented from being returned by the return system.

1 . A baby crib, comprising:
 a frame comprising:
 a lower structure configured to support a mattress, 
 an upper structure spaced apart from the lower structure, 
 uprights that connect and fix the lower structure and the upper structure together, 
 a guide having a top end portion proximate to the upper structure and a bottom end portion proximate to the lower structure, 
 a movable bar having a slider that is slidable along the guide, the movable bar and the upper structure together surrounding an upper opening when the slider is at the top end of the guide, 
   a textile enclosure having a bottom substantially level with the lower structure, side walls that connect the bottom to the upper structure, and a movable wall, connected to the movable bar,   a constraint member configured to be secured to a structural member of a bed, wherein:
 the constraint member is constrained to the guide and is movable relative to the guide between a position close to the guide and a position spaced apart from the guide, 
   the crib comprising a return system configured to return the slider toward the top end portion of the guide, the constraint member being connected to the return system so as to be returned by the return system toward the close position, and to prevent the return system from returning the slider when the constraint memberis retained in the spacedapart position.   
     
     
         2 . A crib as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the return system comprises:
 a stop member slidable along the guide, the sliding movement of the slider along the guide being limited below by the stop member and above by the top end portion of the guide,   return members connected to the stop member and configured to return the stop member toward the top end portion of the guide.   
     
     
         3 . A crib as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the slider is movable jointly with the stop member, along the entire guide, and is movable separately from the stop member between the top end portion of the guide and the stop member. 
     
     
         4 . A crib as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the return system comprises a lower connecting section which connects the constraint member and the stop member together, the lower connecting section being at least partially insertable into and removable from the guide as the constraint member moves between the close position and the spacedapart position. 
     
     
         5 . A crib as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the return memberscomprise a first roller mounted to the upper structure, and an upper connecting section which connects the first roller and the stop member, the first roller being biased to rewind the upper connecting section. 
     
     
         6 . A crib as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the stop member has a bearing portion which is adapted to contact the slider and press the slider toward the top end portion of the guide when the return members return the stop member toward the top end portion of the guide, the slider being separable from the bearing portion of the stop member. 
     
     
         7 . A crib as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the movable bar comprises:
 a locking member which is adapted to be engaged in a locking seat of the upper structure to prevent the slider from sliding along the guide when the slider is located at the top end portion of the guide, and   a release mechanism operable to disengage the locking member from the locking seat.   
     
     
         8 . A crib as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a second roller mounted to the lower structure, wherein the movable wall connects the movable bar to the second roller, and the second roller is biased to rewind the movable wall. 
     
     
         9 . A crib as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein:
 the return members comprise a first roller mounted to the upper structure, and an upper connecting section which connects the first roller and the stop member, the first roller being biased to rewind the upper connecting section,   the first roller is biased to rewind the upper connecting section with a first force, and   the second roller is biased to rewind the movable wall with a second force, the first force being greater than the second force.
