CPC A47D 9/005 (2013.01) | 20 Claims |
1. A bassinet locking mechanism for a foldable bassinet apparatus, comprising:
a first hinge component;
a second hinge component rotatably connected to the first hinge component about a rotation axis;
a locking hub component slidably located between the first hinge component and the second hinge component, the locking hub component being fully retracted into the first hinge component to allow relative rotation between the first hinge component and the second hinge component, and being partially protruded from the first hinge component to constrain the relative rotation between the first hinge component and the second hinge component; and
an end of a linkage connected to the locking hub component, wherein the linkage is positioned such that a force applied to the linkage in a direction that is substantially parallel to the rotation axis facilitates retraction of the locking hub component into the first hinge component.
