Abstract

A changing table, which is placed on a ground or a table and capable of weighting a child, includes a frame, a weighting module and a fabric component. The frame includes a lower frame including a supporting portion for supporting the changing table on a surface of the ground or the table, and an upper frame movably installed on the lower frame. The weighting module includes four load sensors disposed on four corners of the frame and between the lower frame and the upper frame. The fabric component covers the upper frame to form a supporting area for supporting the child. The changing table can measure a first weight of the child before feeding the child and further measure a second weight of the child after feeding the child, so as to determine a difference of the second weight and the first weight of the child as the feeding intake.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A changing table placed on a ground or a table and capable of weighting a child, the changing table comprising:
a frame comprising:
a lower frame comprising at least one supporting portion for supporting the changing table on a surface of the ground or a surface of the table; and;
an upper frame movably installed on the lower frame;

a weighting module comprising four load sensors disposed on four corners of the frame and between the lower frame and the upper frame; and
a fabric component covering the upper frame to form a supporting area between the upper frame and the lower frame for supporting the child.

2. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein the lower frame comprises a lower tube, a first lower housing and a second lower housing, the lower tube is under the supporting area, the first lower housing is connected to an end of the lower tube, the second lower housing is connected to the other end of the lower tube, the upper frame comprises a first upper tube, a second upper tube, a first upper housing and a second upper housing, the second upper tube is separated from the first upper tube, the first upper housing is connected to an end of the first upper tube and an end of the second upper tube, the first upper housing is movably installed on the first lower housing, the second upper housing is connected to the other end of the first upper tube and the other end of the second upper tube, the second upper housing is movably installed on the second lower housing, two of the four load sensors are disposed between the first lower housing and the first upper housing, and the other two of the four load sensors are disposed between the second lower housing and the second upper housing.

3. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein the lower frame comprises at least one mounting portion for mounting on a play yard.

4. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein the weighting module further comprises a display device disposed on the lower frame.

5. The changing table of claim 4 , wherein the weighting module further comprises at least one cable connected to the display device and at least one of the four load sensors.

6. The changing table of claim 5 , wherein the at least one cable passes through the lower frame.

7. The changing table of claim 4 , wherein the display device comprises a monitor, a front cover and a rear cover, the front cover is fixed onto the lower frame, the monitor is installed on the front cover, the rear cover is detachably installed on the lower frame and the front cover, and an accommodating space is formed between the front cover and the rear cover.

8. The changing table of claim 7 , wherein the rear cover comprises at least one latch for engaging with the lower frame.

9. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein two first abutting bosses and two second abutting bosses protrude from the upper frame for abutting against the four load sensors disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame.

10. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein at least one slot is on the upper frame, and the fabric component is attached to or hung on the upper frame via the at least one slot.

11. The changing table of claim 1 , wherein the supporting portion is lower than the supporting area.
