Embodiments provides a side structure of a fence frame, a fence frame, and a folding method. In the embodiments, the side structure includes two vertical struts, between which is provided: two upper rods provided horizontally, adjacent ends of them can be connected relatively rotatably, and remote ends of them are respectively detachably provided above the two vertical struts, the two upper rods are rotated downward to approach each other after disassembly; two lower rods provided horizontally provided, adjacent ends of them can be connected relatively rotatably, remote ends of them are rotated downward relative to the lower ends of the two vertical struts to approach each other; two diagonal struts, adjacent ends of them are rotatably connected to the intersection of the two upper rods, and remote ends of them can rotate upward relative to the lower ends of the vertical struts to approach each other.

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 child enclosure including a hub member including a crank link, a substantially four bar articulated link operably connected to the crank link, a push rod connected to the substantially four bar articulated link so that linear movement of the crank link effects, through the substantially four bar articulated link, a linear driving motion of the push rod, and a slide wedge coupled to the push rod, the slide wedge includes a slider and a pivot surface biasing the slider transverse to the linear driving motion of the push rod, where the linear driving motion of the push rod extends and retracts the slider.

The present invention is directed to a mattress base for a child's play yard and to a folding child's play yard with a mattress that utilize securing mechanisms to secure the mattress base upon installation and to prevent a child from lifting the mattress base.

A play yard can be locked in an unfolded position via a latch mechanism or unlocked by the latch mechanism to fold to a folded position, by means of lifting a central member and bringing the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members to rotate toward the center of the play yard. A spring-loaded engaging member disposed on the rail member can have engagement with the bracket so that the play yard can be stably retained in the folded position. When the engaging member is operated to disengage from the bracket, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members rotate away from the center of the play yard all the way to the unfolded position until the connecting members can be locked by the latch mechanism, which retains the play yard in the unfolded position.

A child protective sealable bedding enclosure configured to be attachable to existing bed structures.

A play yard can be locked in an unfolded position via a latch mechanism or unlocked by the latch mechanism to fold to a folded position, by means of lifting a central member and bringing the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members to rotate toward the center of the play yard. A spring-loaded engaging member disposed on the rail member can have engagement with the bracket so that the play yard can be stably retained in the folded position. When the engaging member is operated to disengage from the bracket, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members rotate away from the center of the play yard all the way to the unfolded position until the connecting members can be locked by the latch mechanism, which retains the play yard in the unfolded position.

A bassinet includes a main frame, a bassinet frame and a height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is detachably installed on the main frame and slidably installed on the main frame by a sliding track of the height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is vertically movable between a first position and a second position. When the bassinet frame is located at the first position, a supporting surface of the bassinet frame is located in close proximity to a top surface of the main frame, so that the bassinet provides an unhindered view of a child in the bassinet frame. The bassinet can be used as a normal bassinet when the bassinet frame is located at the second position. The main frame and the bassinet frame can be used as a standard play yard and a stand-alone bassinet when the bassinet frame is detached from the main frame.

A play yard comprises two brackets, two rail members, two support frames, a central member, a plurality of connecting members and a latch mechanism. The rail members are pivotally connected to the brackets. Each of the support frames comprises two upper support members and a lower support member. The upper support members are pivotally connected to the brackets. The lower support member is pivotally connected to the upper support members. The connecting members are pivotally connected to the central member and the lower support member. The latch mechanism is configured to lock or unlock the connecting members. When the latch mechanism locks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are unfolded. When the latch mechanism unlocks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are able to be folded.

An infant calming/sleep-aid device that includes a moving platform and a sound generator, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device makes a determination as to whether sound signals represent sound coming from inside the device or outside the device. If the sound signals are coming from the inside the device, then the signals are evaluated in a specified frequency band to determine whether the sound is a baby cry. If a determination is made that there is a baby cry, then a threshold analysis is performed to quantify the cry and compare it to a threshold value. If the cry is above a specified threshold, the device moves the platform and/or generates sound.
