Description

Bañera-cambiador para bebé flexible Bathtub-changing table for flexible baby

Technical sector

La presente invención se refiera a una bañera para bebé realizada en material derivado plástico tipo TPU (poliuretano termoplástico) u otros similares, de una sola pieza que debido a la combinación de zonas de mayor y menor rigidez del material utilizado y su diseño, posibilita varios usos cambiando tan solo la posición de la misma. En una utilización como bañera pudiendo variar la capacidad y la altura de la bañera adaptándose a la edad del bebé y al uso higiénico o lúdico que se le quiera dar con solo plegar en forma de acordeón su pared vertical, o como cambiador ergonómico al posicionar la bañera invertida y en su posición plegada The present invention relates to a baby bathtub made of plastic derived material type TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or similar, of a single piece that due to the combination of areas of greater and lesser rigidity of the material used and its design, allows several uses changing only the position of it. In a use as a bathtub, the capacity and height of the bathtub can vary, adapting to the age of the baby and the hygienic or recreational use that you want to give just by accordion folding your vertical wall, or as an ergonomic changer when positioning the inverted bathtub and in its folded position

State of the art

Existen hasta ahora antecedentes de Bañeras plegables que incorporan un doble cuerpo y distintas piezas, por un lado una estructura rígida que hace de bastidor y una bolsa plástica en forma de bolsa de hule que hace de bañera, con diferentes accesorios.. También existen otras bañeras de bebé en materiales plásticos rígidos que se adaptan a las bañeras convencionales mediante soportes o bastidores metálicos que si bien les dota de mayor rigidez que las anteriores, necesitan de una bañera convencional para su utilización o se adaptan a soportes en forma de caballete que contienen la bañera propiamente dicha. Existen otros modelos de bañera para bebe realizados en materiales rígidos pero que incorporan zonas flexibles por los que se puede doblar la estructura de la pared de la bañera al único efecto de plegarla para su almacenamiento o transporte. Sin embargo, dichos modelos necesitan unos tensores o bastidores perpendiculares a efecto de mantener la bañera extendida para una única posición de uso o en otra realización un sistema de soportes plegables con la misma función de dar rigidez al conjunto para su única posición de uso totalmente extendida, siendo el conjunto en una u otra realización, una estructura rígida con una sola posición y función de uso. So far there is a history of folding bathtubs that incorporate a double body and different pieces, on the one hand a rigid structure that acts as a frame and a plastic bag in the form of a rubber bag that makes a bathtub, with different accessories .. There are also other bathtubs of baby in rigid plastic materials that adapt to conventional bathtubs by means of supports or metal racks that although it gives them more rigidity than the previous ones, they need a conventional bathtub for their use or they adapt to stands in the form of easel that contain the bathtub proper. There are other baby bath models made of rigid materials but that incorporate flexible areas through which the structure of the bath wall can be folded to the sole effect of folding it for storage or transport. However, said models need perpendicular tensioners or frames in order to keep the bathtub extended for a single use position or in another embodiment a system of folding supports with the same function of giving rigidity to the assembly for its only fully extended use position. , the assembly being in one or another embodiment, a rigid structure with a single position and function of use.

En estas bañeras prima su portabilidad y a la vez que el acercamiento del bebé a la persona que lo atiende mediante la estructura rígida que soporta el hule que hace de bañera o el barreño rígido. Sin embargo no tienen la versatilidad, flexibilidad, ligereza y portabilidad de que está dotada la presente invención, así como la sencillez de uso por su diseño en material totalmente flexible y de una sola pieza In these bathtubs its portability prevails and at the same time that the approach of the baby to the person who takes care of it by means of the rigid structure that supports the rubber that makes bathtub or the rigid borer. However, they do not have the versatility, flexibility, lightness and portability that the present invention is endowed with, as well as the simplicity of use due to its design in fully flexible and one-piece material.

La presente invención simplifica el concepto de bañera para bebés mediante la realización de una bañera de una sola pieza de un material plástico flexible, cálido y ligero, convertible en dos posiciones de uso como bañera y una como cambiador, además de aunar al uso higiénico el uso lúdico, siendo apta por su forma, configuración y ligereza para su uso recreativo fuera del hogar en lugares como el jardín o la playa. The present invention simplifies the concept of a baby bathtub by making a one-piece bathtub of a flexible, warm and lightweight plastic material, convertible into two positions of use as a bathtub and one as a changing table, in addition to combining the hygienic use of the recreational use, being suitable for its shape, configuration and lightness for recreational use outside the home in places like the garden or the beach.

Explanation of the invention.

La presente invención consiste en una superficie continua en forma de barreño oval formado de una sola pieza de material plástico tipo TPU que puede incluir diversos colores texturas o grabados y que incorpora en su diseño y constitución un borde superior plano a lo largo de la circunferencia, una pared continua perimetral que está dividida en tres bandas perimetrales de similar tamaño separadas entre ellas por dos líneas perimetrales formadas por material de menor densidad y flexibilidad. Estas líneas perimetrales de menor densidad y mayor flexibilidad permiten la extensión y retracción de la pared de la bañera aprovechando la elasticidad del material , facilitando que mediante una ligera presión, la banda central se dobla sobre sí misma para extender o retraer la bañera para sus dos posiciones de uso. En su uso como cambiador, la bañera plegada se dispone con el fondo en la parte superior de forma que el mismo fondo sirve de superficie para disponer al bebé para realizar cambios de ropa, pañal, aplicar cremas, etc y que debido a la flexibilidad del material se adapta ergonómicamente al bebé proporcionando mayor confort. El conjunto, por el material utilizado totalmente flexible e indeformable y su diseño permiten una mayor facilidad para su almacenamiento o transporte ya que pueda ser plegado o enrollado sobre sí mismo disminuyendo considerablemente la superficie ocupada. The present invention consists of a continuous surface in the form of an oval borehole formed of a single piece of TPU-type plastic material that can include various textures or engravings and incorporates in its design and constitution a flat upper edge along the circumference, a continuous perimeter wall that is divided into three perimeter bands of similar size separated between them by two perimeter lines formed by material of lower density and flexibility. These perimeter lines of lower density and greater flexibility allow the extension and retraction of the bathtub wall taking advantage of the elasticity of the material, facilitating that by a slight pressure, the central band bends over itself to extend or retract the bathtub for its two Usage positions In its use as a changing table, the folded bathtub is arranged with the bottom at the top so that the same bottom serves as a surface to arrange the baby to make changes of clothes, diaper, apply creams, etc. and that due to the flexibility of the material ergonomically adapts to the baby providing greater comfort. The set, due to the completely flexible and non-deformable material used and its design, allows for greater ease of storage or transport since it can be folded or rolled on itself, considerably reducing the occupied surface.
