A horizontal universal joint includes a first joint member and a second joint member. The first joint member is integrally formed by a frame insertion port and a female coupling port. The second joint member is integrally formed by a frame insertion port and a male coupling port. The female coupling port of the first joint member and the male coupling port of the second joint member are removably engaged via an elastic body. Teeth rows are formed at an inner peripheral surface of the female coupling port and an outer peripheral surface of the male coupling port meshing with one another. Depending on meshing positions of both teeth rows when the male coupling port is inserted into the female coupling port, the horizontal direction where the frame insertion port of the second joint member faces relative to the frame insertion port of the first joint member is changeable.

A folding playpen has a frame assembly including a plurality of parallel uprights arranged in a geometric configuration and a plurality of upper rails pivotally affixed to and extending between a top portion of adjacent ones of the uprights. A co-planar grid of braces extends between said the uprights and includes a central support block at a center of geometrically configured uprights. The braces pivotally attached to the central support block and to a respective one of the uprights. A flexible covering extends about a periphery of the frame assembly and a pad is supported by the co-planar grid. The frame assembly is selectively collapsible from a usable configuration to a storage configuration by vertically translating the central support block from a lower position to a position proximate to a top of the uprights. In one example, the folding playpen can hold a bassinet using at least one adapter.

A foldable playpen includes four top fence assemblies, four side fence assemblies and a bottom frame assembly, the first end of each bottom frame rail being movably attached to the bottom frame foldable connector; an operating device for engaging the four top fence joint assemblies with the bottom frame foldable connector; four operating ropes, each operating rope having a first end and a second end, for enabling the top fence rails and the bottom frame rails to respond to a movement of the bottom frame foldable connector so as to switch the foldable playpen to a folded state from an open state, the first end of an operating rope is connected to a top fence joint assembly, and the second end of an operating rope is connected to the bottom frame foldable connector. The playpen can synchronously fold the bottom frame rails and the top fence rails, and is safe and reliable.

A transformable prefabricated fence. The transformable prefabricated fence includes: a plurality of fence guards; a fence door placed between the plurality of fence guards; and a corner fastening member placed in a corner region to fasten the fence guards together or fasten the fence guards and the fence door. One side of the corner fastening member is curved. The prefabricated fence ensures secure fastening without using joints by guard fastening members at opposite ends of a fence guard and a corner fastening member placed in a corner region.

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 convertible crib device providing a crib, playpen and changing table in combination includes a frame having a plurality of panels. Each of the panels has a lower section telescopically coupled to an upper section. The frame has a plurality of corner posts. Each of the panels extends between an associated adjacently positioned pair of the corner posts to form an enclosure. A mattress support is coupled to the frame within the enclosure forming a crib configuration. The mattress support is removable from the frame and the lower section of each of the panels is extendable downwardly such that the frame forms a playpen configuration.

A gated barrier that includes a barrier frame first portion, a barrier frame second portion, and a gate between the barrier frame first and second portions. The barrier frame first and second portions include first and second threshold portions that are spaced apart from each other and held in such a spaced apart orientation by a rigid elongate piece. The gated barrier further includes a latch apparatus, panels, and junction apparatus between the panels.

The present invention is for a foldable child stand that retracts in and out of a cabinet like a drawer. It has walls that fold up and a support that folds down. The device is intended to hold the weight of a child and contain them at a height to allow interaction with caregivers at the counter. The lop portion of the walls are encased in foam, and the walls lock into place. The bottom support is held in place with magnets and folds down to supplement the stability and load capacity of the drawer slides. The device can be disassembled into a standard drawer once children have outgrown the need for elevation assistance.

A folding playpen has a frame assembly including a plurality of parallel uprights arranged in a geometric configuration and a plurality of upper rails pivotally affixed to and extending between a top portion of adjacent ones of the uprights. A co-planar grid of braces extends between said the uprights and includes a central support block at a center of geometrically configured uprights. The braces pivotally attached to the central support block and to a respective one of the uprights. A flexible covering extends about a periphery of the frame assembly and a pad is supported by the co-planar grid. The frame assembly is selectively collapsible from a usable configuration to a storage configuration by vertically translating the central support block from a lower position to a position proximate to a top of the uprights. In one example, the folding playpen can hold a bassinet using at least one adapter.

A convertible furniture assembly for selective use as a crib, bed and play pen includes a pair of end boards. Each of a pair of first railings is coupled to an opposing side edge of each end board. The end boards and the first railings are right angularly positioned. A frame is reversibly couplable to and extends between the end boards. The frame extends between the first railings. The assembly comprises a mattress that is substantially complementary to the frame. The frame and the pair of first railings are selectively vertically positionable between a top and a bottom of each end board. The frame is positioned to support the mattress in a crib configuration, a playpen configuration and a bed configuration. The first railings are selectively positionable for the crib configuration, the playpen configuration and the bed configuration.
