Continuously height adjustable baby mattress support and apparatus therefor
First Claim
1. A baby crib provided with a continuously height adjustable mattress support, comprising:
- a) a substantially horizontal mattress support;
b) stationary end and side units and stationary crib leg posts;
c) at least one drive unit for applying a vertical force to a corresponding vertically displaceable driven component for continuous displacement thereof;
d) at least one attachment element connecting said at least one drive unit to said mattress support;
e) at least one actuator associated with said at least one drive unit for setting and continuously adjusting a height of said mattress support above a floor surface, wherein said mattress support is displaceable upon operation of said at least one actuator; and
f) at least one stabilizing element that is vertically oriented for stabilizing vertical displacement of said mattress support once said at least one drive unit is actuated by holding said mattress support in a horizontal position when vertically displaced.

Abstract
A continuously height adjustable mattress support and apparatus therefor is disclosed. The mattress support is vertically displaceable by means of at least one drive unit for applying a vertical force to a corresponding solely vertically displaceable driven component and is stabilized during vertical displacement by at least one stabilizing means connected thereto. The driven component is connected to, or is in supporting relation with, the mattress support, so that a height of the mattress support above a floor surface is settable and continuously adjustable by means of at least one actuator associated with the at least one drive unit. In one embodiment, a locking device for preventing displacement of the mattress support following inadvertent actuation of the at least one drive unit is employed.
