FLEXIBLE WALL SAFETY BASSINET

摘要

An easy-access bassinet especially useful for new mothers and babies, either in hospitals or at home. The bassinet has a barrier to prevent the infant from rolling off a sleeping platform, and one wall of the barrier is convertible to permit a mother to reach in and cradle the infant, for breast-feeding for example. The convertible wall may have a restoring mechanism to transform it back to its original barrier position upon removal of the weight of the mother's arms, or may be detachable. The convertible wall may be rigid adjacent the sleeping platform that lowers or pivots out of the way, or a mesh or fabric panel that may be depressed downward. A partial barrier wall may also be provided just inside the convertible front wall for extra security. The mesh or fabric panel is easily detached for cleaning or replacement.
