The technical solution relates to the production of children's furniture, or more precisely, cribs, and can be used in the manufacture of means for adjusting and fixing the level of the back of a crib when caring for a child.
Means for a similar purpose are well known from the prior art.
A known device for lowering the side guard US 5201085 contains a two-part guide, a zigzag groove in the guide, a spring-loaded latch in the form of a bent rod, which is attached along the entire length of the lower bar of the side guard. The disadvantage of this device is that all fastenings of the guides and fasteners are visible, which violates the design of the bed. This device also does not adequately provide ease of use. In order for the mother to lower the fence, she must bend down to the bottom bar of the side fence and press the latch or raise her leg to the latch.
Also known is a device for lowering the side guard US 6167580, which contains a two-part guide, a zigzag groove in the guide, a latch that is attached to the end of the lower bar of the fence and has a complex injection mold. End-mounted C-bracket top bar side guard, performs the function of a roller. Both parts of the guides are installed in the selected grooves on the headboard leg. This device is accepted as a prototype.
This device has the following disadvantages. The mechanism for lowering the side guard is also visible, as in the first option. The need to select two slots strictly vertically for the installation of guides, which leads to an increase in manufacturing operations. The main disadvantage is that the movable guard is fixed by friction between the plastic spring and the part of the guide that secures the stock. During operation, these parts wear out, and subsequently do not provide reliable fixation of the movable fence from accidental opening by a child.
Also known is a device for lowering the side rail RU 2242911, consisting of a guide placed in a groove of the backrest leg, which includes a zigzag groove, an arcuate leaf spring and an elastic shock absorber. The upper part of the guide is C-shaped. A spring-loaded latch and a T-shaped roller are installed at the end of the movable side guard.
The closest is a device for lowering the side guard, containing a latch and stops. Fastening the side guard in the upper position occurs due to an increase in the friction force between the clamping cams of the clamp and the vertical posts of the guard, which does not ensure reliable fixation of the side guard. The level of the fixator, which is attached to the base of the bed, does not correspond to the functional work area person. Brackets that are the length of the backrest do not make it possible to install a drawer on guides at the bottom of the bed between the backrests - GB No. 2232195, class. A 47 D 7/02, 1990.
The disadvantage of the above devices is the difficulty of using cribs, associated, first of all, with the problem of fixing the back of a crib at different levels, which is so necessary when caring for a child.
The problem to be solved by the claimed technical solution is to eliminate the above-mentioned shortcomings, as well as to simplify the care of a child in a crib, as well as when placing him in a crib and removing him from it.
The technical result is to simplify the operation of the mechanism for fastening the back of the crib, as well as to increase the reliability of fixing the back of the crib at the required level.
This problem is solved by the fact that the mechanism for lowering the crib, containing a bar, as well as the upper and lower stops, according to the claimed technical solution, contains a bracket installed in the back of the crib, consisting of a housing, a button and a spring, made with the ability to move along the bar and automatically fixation in at least one groove made on the rod, while the bracket body is made in the form of a sleeve with a through hole, and the button is made with an “8”-shaped through hole with the ability to move in the bracket body.
In addition, the rod, stops, bracket and button can be made of metal, wood or polymer.
The claimed technical solution is illustrated by drawings, which show only one example of a mechanism for lowering a crib.

Figure 2 - assembled mechanism,
Fig.3 - disassembled bracket,
Fig.4 - assembled bracket (button - released, button - pressed in)

10 - “8”-shaped hole in the button,
6 - bracket body,
7 - bracket button,
8 - spring.
The following is one example, not limiting in any way. possible options implementation of the declared technical solution.
The rod (1) with the upper and lower stops (2 1) and (2 2) placed on it through fixing holes (5), for example threaded ones, is attached to the side post of the back of the crib (14) with fasteners (for example, screws) (not shown).
When the bracket (3) moves along the rod (1), its button (7) is pressed in under the force of the spring (8). At this moment, the through hole (9) of the body (6) of the bracket (3) and the holes with the largest diameter from the “8”-shaped through hole (10) are on the same axis, thereby ensuring free, unhindered movement of the bracket (3) along the rod (1).
When the bracket (3) hits the groove (4), under the force of the spring (8), the button (7) automatically rises up (snaps off) and the bracket (3) is pressed against the rod (1), since the rod (1) hits a hole formed by the edges of the through hole (9) of the body (6) of the bracket (3) and the edge of the button (7) formed by the hole of the smallest diameter of the “8”-shaped hole of the bracket button.
Under the action of the spring (8), the button (7) is still in a state that ensures that the bracket (3) is pressed against the rod (1), that is, the bracket (3) is fixed on the rod (1).
The groove (4), according to this solution, is cylindrical, since with this design the shelves formed are perpendicular (that is, at an angle of 90°) with respect to the axis of the rod (1), which ensures maximum safety for holding the back of the crib on the rod (1 ).
In conventional grooves, the shelves are made flat, which, during long-term use of the crib, leads to their “wearing off”, which, in turn, is not safe for the child, since the back can either fall down arbitrarily or under a slight load.
If it becomes necessary to lower the back of the crib down, just press the button (7), after which the through hole (9) of the body (6) of the bracket (3) will be on the same axis with the hole of the largest diameter from the “8”-shaped through hole ( 10), thereby releasing the rod (1) from the previously formed engagement.
After this, the back of the crib can be lowered.
Thus, the claimed technical solution significantly simplifies the process of changing the position of the back of the crib, which ensures reliability and improves the functional and performance qualities of this type of children's furniture, and makes caring for the baby convenient and safe.

For a child in the first years of his life, the environment in which he sleeps is extremely important, because it is on his own bed that he spends most of the time. In addition, sleep products should also be comfortable for use by parents, and in this case the most a good decision There will be cribs with a wall that can be removed or lowered. A bed with a drop-down wall makes it possible to combine the parent's sleeping place with the baby's bed for maximum safe sleep. Also, lowering the front wall of the crib will allow the older child to leave it at any convenient time during waking hours.
This is also very important because a child who has reached a certain age strives to explore the world, as a result of which he learns to climb over obstacles, which means there is a possibility of falling and getting injured. In this case, cribs of this type make the child’s leisure time safer.
Cribs with a wall - types and advantages
A bed with a drop-down wall is very popular on the market, because such a product allows the baby to spend his time with maximum comfort and is very convenient for parents to use. Thanks to the mechanism, it is quite easy to put the baby on his sleeping place and get him out of there. In this case, the side will not interfere with the mother or father, and after the child is laid down, it is always possible to lift part of the structure or move the crib towards the parents’ bed to create a combined structure. As a result, the whole family will sleep together, which is pleasant for both the child and mom and dad.
A bed with a drop-down wall can be produced in several types. In the first case, the mechanism can be built-in and in this case it is enough just to use it so that the side is retracted under the bottom of the bed. In another case, the crib with the wall is solid and in order to remove part of the structure it is necessary to unscrew the fasteners. Both options are quite convenient, but the first has more versatility. However, a bed with a drop-down wall is not suitable for everyone, since the mechanism itself can make a lot of noise, and low-quality products are unsafe for the child.
In any case, the sleeping place is from reliable manufacturer has no such problems and has been used for a long time without the slightest complaints. Thus, comfortable baby bed This type is an excellent option for parents and children. A crib with a removable wall can be equipped with an additional low side covering one side sleeping place not the entire length. As a result, the baby will be safe during sleep hours, and during wakefulness his movements will not be limited in any way. This device is convenient to install and also convenient to remove, which makes it possible for both parents to install it without the slightest problem.
A bed with a lowering wall - comfort for children and parents
Lowering the front wall of the crib is a very convenient addition for both babies and their parents. In this case, the child can very easily move around the room if the side is removed, and sleep safely when it is installed. At the same time, mom and dad are without special labor manages to take the baby from his bed and put him back. After all, the mechanism for lowering the front wall of the crib allows you not to lean over the side and do everything you need with sufficient comfort. Thus, we can say with confidence that such designs are the most acceptable and safe for everyone. This is confirmed by the high demand for such products and their popularity among parents.
Any children's room requires a fairly large amount of furniture, each piece of which should fit well with the rest of the interior. It can be difficult to assemble a complete picture from individual parts, especially if space is significantly limited and there is not too much money. If you need to solve all these problems at once, you should pay attention to children's walls with a bed.
Features, pros and cons
A children's wall with a bed is a fairly wide set of furniture, the main and irreplaceable element of which, as the name suggests, is a children's bed. In addition, the creators add something else that a child might need, for example, a closet or just shelves, a desk or computer desk with drawers.
The specific configuration depends only on the chosen model and the imagination of the designer who created it, so some of the things described may not exist, but it is possible that there will be something else and no less useful.
Naturally, such a solution has a number of advantages:
- Don't have enough artistic taste to decorate your nursery elegantly? Buy a wall with a bed - everything you need will be there, designed in the same style.
- Not enough space? This is not a problem if you prefer a wall, because it is compact enough to fit in any room, and in terms of functionality it can replace several individual pieces of furniture at once. Moreover, if the home is so small that it is not possible to allocate a separate room for the child, and the child has to live in the same room with the elders, this perfect solution to zone the space.
- Don't have enough financial resources to immediately purchase everything you need? It doesn’t matter, because wholesale is cheaper: a wall consisting of a bed, a wardrobe and a table will cost much less than all these items separately.
The only possible disadvantage that can be attributed to a children's wall with a bed is associated with the possibility of expansion as the child grows. If by the bed child size, then the little owner will sooner or later outgrow it, and at that moment, instead of replacing one bed, the entire furniture of the room will have to be changed.
True, the walls are usually produced in a modular version, that is, they can be disassembled, and then the table and cabinet can be left, but the open question, will they now fit normally with the rest of the decor?
Kinds
There is no clear classification of children's walls, despite a fairly significant variety of models. To simplify the search for what you need, we will try to delve into the specifics of the varieties of such furniture in more detail.
It’s worth starting with the fact that a bedroom set with a wardrobe does not necessarily come with a bed - its functions can be quite successfully performed by a sofa, especially since such a solution looks somewhat more presentable. Particularly functional walls are equipped with both a bed and a sofa at the same time - the retractable latter element is hidden inside the first.
However, most models are still equipped with a crib, although there are options here too - some walls are designed for boys, others for girls, plus gradation by age - for preschoolers, schoolchildren and teenagers.
The designers did not miss the point that a family can have more than one child, and in this situation, saving space and money is even more relevant. Created for such cases modular walls with two beds, and if the area is critically small, the design can be equipped with a built-in folding bed– in this case, the mechanism for lowering the front wall is controlled by a button. There are also Alternative option For small areas– bunk bed.
By the way, bunk beds provide additional features to equip the wall with various additional bonuses, in particular, one of the children will still have to regularly climb up the ladder, but it can be successfully replaced by a Swedish wall for both children. The designer's imagination can give the second tier appearance, like a village house or in any other way to add a little mystery to it. In some cases, a slide is also used to descend from the second tier, but this decision is only relevant if the children are still small, and the choice in favor of the wall is not made because of the limited size of the nursery.
Finally, there is also a division according to form. In addition to the straight, classic wall, there is also corner variety, and even a U-shaped one - one that overlaps two adjacent corners of the room at once.
Styles
The style of children's walls very much depends on who the furniture is purchased for. Usually there are headsets for boys and girls.
Sets for young ladies are usually distinguished by delicate, typically feminine colors, as well as particularly soft lines and elusive charm. Hand-painted models are highly prized. The plots, again, are purely girlish - fairy-tale heroes for the little ones, flowers and butterflies for those who are a little older. Since girls always have a lot of different cute trinkets, they will appreciate the presence of a large number of cabinets, and open shelves will allow them to display their favorite exhibits for everyone to see. And, of course, what girl wouldn’t appreciate a built-in mirror?
Headsets for boys look a little stricter, even if they are created specifically for kids - this is usually expressed in a form that looks more rigid. The design often matches the child’s hobbies: from nautical style from little pirates and explorers to racing cars and the number one sport - football. Sports equipment such as Swedish walls, rings or parallel bars will also cause much greater delight among boys.
Material and color
Solid wood of durable species has remained the optimal solution in terms of durability for many centuries, especially since this material is of natural origin and absolutely safe for children. Second place goes to a material invented relatively recently - MDF boards, which are made from wood pressed under high pressure. This solution is somewhat inferior in strength to classic wood, but is much cheaper. Regardless of the choice of base material, it is important that it is adequately reinforced with metal fasteners and reinforcements.
As for other materials, they are much less common. The metal would perfectly withstand the expected load, but it is too cold, so it is not suitable. Plastic is acceptable only in the form decorative material, and even then only on the condition that there are all certificates about its safety. But chipboard has recently been subjected to merciless criticism for its rather high toxicity.
If we talk about colors, then the main requirement here is the correct compatibility of the color of the set with the wall decoration and textiles. The colors do not have to match, but the overall range should be pleasant impression. For girls, pink, white, lilac and beige tones, although other colors are suitable for teenagers, for boys of any age everything is acceptable except pink and lilac.
How to choose a room?
The variety of models allows you to choose perfect option, but, on the other hand, it can confuse the buyer. To make his choice easier, here are some practical tips:
- When choosing a color, be guided by the age of the child. Kids love bright colors And beautiful pictures, but a teenager is no longer interested in this; a plain version would be better for him. For a schoolchild, buy whichever of the above he is closest to, taking into account the near future.
- One of the main advantages of the wall is its ergonomics, therefore, pay attention to how convenient the shelves and cabinets are, don’t be lazy to check them before purchasing.
- Unpleasant smell- indicator of poor quality, or even a toxic finish, so you shouldn’t count on the stench disappearing.
- Do not buy furniture for your child solely at your own discretion.– ask his opinion about the model you like. Try to come to a common denominator, and if the points of view on a future purchase are radically opposite, do not put pressure, but try to convincingly convince the child.
- If you're not willing to replace your furniture every few years, try to buy a wall that is universal and suitable for all ages. For the same case, furniture of a new trend - one that can be repainted - can also come in handy.
Furniture requirements
For ease of use, the headset must meet some generally accepted requirements that you should pay attention to when purchasing. Here they are:
- Convenience and spaciousness. Walls are chosen precisely for these qualities; if the model does not correspond to them, do not take it.
- Environmental friendliness of materials. Check the certificates - this is the only way to be sure of the durability of the furniture and its non-toxicity.
- Reliability of fittings. It is this piece of furniture that most often fails - outwardly nice closet have to be thrown away because of broken handles or hinges that cannot be replaced. These elements must be made of high strength materials.
- Design safety. Sharp corners always pose a certain danger, and even more so in the case of children who love to play around. Mirrors and glass are especially dangerous, so if they are present, there should be a protective film on their surface.
Girls need twice as much stuff as boys, so spacious closets are a must. However, not all things need to be hidden, because photographs and soft toys You can decorate the room - for this you will need open shelves.
For a boy, tenderness in design is unacceptable, because even the most Small child- This future man. A baby wall for a boy may look cute, but it is by no means cheesy.
Young gentlemen usually have less stuff, so they are more willing to make room if circumstances require it. At the same time, it is possible to make them dormitory It didn’t resemble a hostel, but a very cozy and stylish corner where you wouldn’t be ashamed to bring guests.
