Abstract

A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The peripheral frame (16) comprises a first U-shaped frame portion (20) and a second U-shaped frame portion (20) wherein the first U-shaped frame portion and the second U-shaped frame portion each have first and second ends (24, 26). The first ends (24) substantially meet at a first junction (28) and the second ends (26) substantially meet at a second junction (30) to thereby define a substantially closed loop peripheral frame. The first and second U-shaped frames (20) are pivotable relative to the first and second junctions (28, 30) to adjust from an erected configuration to a folded configuration. The first supporting leg structure (20) supports the peripheral frame (16) at the first junction (28) and the second supporting leg structure (20) support the peripheral frame (16) at the second junction (30). Each of the first and second supporting leg structures (20) comprise two support legs (32, 34) which are pivotable relative to the associated junction (28, 30) to adjust from a configuration whereby the two support legs (32, 34) diverge in the downward direction at an included angle, to a collapsed configuration with the support legs arranged at a lesser included angle. The support legs (32, 34) are length adjustable. The length adjustment of the two support legs (32, 34) may be operable in unison in the collapsed configuration.
