An inflatable structure includes a plurality of inflatable walls arranged to form a room having an interior and one or more lockable compartments integrated into the plurality of inflatable walls. The lockable compartments can include a non-inflated recess formed within an inflatable wall and at least one flap configured to close an opening of the recess of the first lockable compartment. The inflatable structure can be themed, e.g., by installing themed skins on interior surfaces of the room to provide a user experience. The inflatable structure may also include integrated virtual reality components, including a virtual reality headset supported by the structure.

A foldable playard includes a frame defining an interior space when unfolded and soft goods partially disposed within the interior space to define a partially enclosed space for a child to play and/or sleep. The frame includes multiple leg support assemblies and multiple X-frame assemblies that couple adjacent leg support assemblies together. The X-frame assembly is positioned near the top of the frame when the playard is unfolded such that the X-frame assembly functions as a top rail to mechanically reinforce the playard. In this manner, the playard does not include a separate compliant or rigid top rail or a bottom support structure, thus reducing the number of parts for manufacture. Additionally, the playard includes a single latch mechanism to maintain the playard in the unfolded configuration. The playard may also include an optional canopy cover assembly mounted to the frame to provide shade for the child.

Embodiments described herein relate to a system which includes a first vertical support, a second vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, a third vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, and a fourth vertical support parallel to the first vertical support, a first, second, third, and fourth elevation couplers releasably attachable proximate an end of the corresponding vertical supports, a first, second, third, and fourth outer horizontal members releasably coupleable to extend between the elevation couplers perpendicular to the vertical supports, and first and second inner horizontal member extending between the outer horizontal members to be oriented substantially perpendicular to the vertical supports and overlap each other to form an elevated grid suitable for a game.

A collapsible enclosure and an insert, where the collapsible enclosure includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top, and a bottom wall coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position. The insert includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, and a second side coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position.

A vented canopy tent for use in combination with a playard includes a top surface having four sides extending downwards therefrom and defining an interior cavity; wherein the first and third sides are at opposing ends and the second and fourth sides are at opposing ends; each of the four sides having a first height; each of the four sides including a plurality of ventilation openings at an intermediate height having a height less than half of the first height, wherein the ventilation openings permit passage of air therethrough; a flap defining a portion of the top surface; a fastening element at the top surface being selectively operable between an open and closed configurations; and at least one fastener for securing the vented canopy tent to the playard.

The invention is a tube connector for a play structure, and a play structure system that uses such tube connectors to connect a plurality of tubes together. The tube connector has a center portion and at least one projecting member extending from the center portion. To construct a play structure, tubes are fitted over the projecting members in the tube connectors. Flexing tabs on the projecting members, which are fixed at the end of the projecting member and extend back toward the center portion, lock into openings in the tubes to secure the tubes to the projecting members and connect the tubes together into a play structure.

The present invention is a hovering air fort. The hovering air fort contains an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening and an aperture for receiving air flow for inflation and a chord hemmed into the periphery of the open base forming a hemmed opening, or one or more connecting panels affixed between the sidewalls but maintaining the base of the inflatable air fort open, such that air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift for the inflatable housing when the hemmed opening or the one or more connecting panels are positioned against an external surface to create the hovering air fort.

An umbrella canopy that opens and closes not from a stick from within the interior of the umbrella canopy but from the exterior crown where a line is pulled to open the umbrella canopy and where a button is pushed to close the umbrella canopy. The interior of the umbrella canopy includes no stick to hold up the umbrella canopy. Taut edges of the umbrella canopy hold up the umbrella canopy, for instance, on the top edges of a playyard.

A collapsible enclosure and an insert, where the collapsible enclosure includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top, and a bottom wall coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position. The insert includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, and a second side coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position.

A hovering air fort containing a circular side panel having an aperture, a domed top, a shroud having a first end secured to the circular side panel to provide an air flow channel for forcing air through the aperture and a second end for receiving a fan; and a single chord secured at the bottom edge of the circular side panel. The chord may be secured along about 75% to 100% of the bottom edge of the circular side panel and has a weight that allows the bottom edge to be lifted above the surface when the fan forces air into the hovering air fort.
