z claims. (ci. 99)
This invention relates to baby pens, and more particularly to the collapsible type.
One of the objects of this invention is the provision of a baby pen adapted to be collapsed so as to reduce the amount of space normally occupied by it when in folded or collapsed condition.
Another object of this invention is the provision of a baby or infants pen adapted to be collapsed so it may be easily stored in a spaced area smaller than the space required for its normal intended use.
A further object of this invention is the provision of a baby pen that may be easily collapsed so as to be carried by an operative. g
A still further object of this invention is the provision of a baby pen provided with transparent vented sides that permit an infant to be observed and be perceived while incarcerated in such pen, as well as to permit side ventilation.
Other objects and features will more fully appear from the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical perspective view of the baby pen;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a basal portion of the pen;
Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of a corner of a frame and plastic pane;
Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along lines 4 4 of Fig. 3 looking in direction of the arrows;
Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along lines S-S of Fig. 3 and showing a section of the plastic pane housed in a grooved section of a frame;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a latch;
Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the frames and latching means thereon;
Fig. 8 is a vertical perspective view showing the baby pen side sections folded in compact form, and
Fig. 9 is a vertical perspective view showing the baby pen basal sections folded in compact form.
Referring more particularlry to the drawings, the invention consists of a plurality of frames 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; each frame being comprised of two sections, and said frames form the four sides of the pen. These frames may be constructed of any suitable material, such as plastic, light metal; but hardwood has been found to be the preferable material. The frames may be rectangular or square in shape and each of their corner (Fig. 3) sections are respectively secured together by a mortise 9 that registers with a tenon 10 to form a blind and tenon joint; both said members being glued together. A screw 11 is respectively secured to each section of the frame and the tenon thereby providing a lirm and fast corner section.
. Frames 1 and 2 are secured to each other in pivotal fashion by a plurality of hinges 16land the former is adapted to fold upon the latter in counter-clockwise fashion. Frames 2 and 3 are likewise secured to one another by hinges 17 and the former folds upon the latter in clockwise fashion. l Frames 3 and 4 are also secured to each other in pivotal fashion by hinges 18 and the former folds upon the latter in counterclockwise fashion. Frames 4 and 5 are pivotally connected by hinges 19 and the former folds upon the latter in clockwise fashion. Frames 5 and 6 are connected together by hinges 20 and the former folds upon the latter in counterclockwise fashoin. Frames 6 and 7 are pivotally connected by hinges 21 and the former folds upon the latter in clockwise fashion, and frames 7 and 8 are likewise connected by hinges 22 and former folds upon the latter in counterclockwise fashion. i It is thought obvious that when the frames are folded as previously described, they will nestle closely togetherin the manner clearly illustrated in Fig. 8. When the side frames are in compact form straps 23 are secured about the frames by buckles 24 and a hand grip 25 is secured to said straps in slidable fashion thereby'atfording expedient means of carrying or transporting the frames in a secure manner.
A base 26 is composed for four frames 27, 28, 29 and 30 that are constructed in similar 'fashion to the side frames except that each frame has a support bar 31 spanning its central portion. Frames 27 and 30 are secured together in pivotal fashion by hinges 32 mounted llushwise in the frames, while frames 29 and 2 8 are secured by hinges 33. Frames 29 and 30 are secured by hinges 34 disposed ushwise in the bottom of said frames.
It is though obvious that by the provision of these latches the central side sections will more firmly hold against any pressure on the sides.
The present vertical displacement securing means are provided in the nature of brackets 46 (Fig. 1) are of similar construction and description of one is applicable to the rest. The bracket is secured at the basal portion of the frame by nails 47 or any suitable means and is description of one (Figs.
provided with an open countersunk eye 48 of similar structure to eye 41 hereinbefore described, except that the bracket wherein the eye 4S is disposed is located in an angular leg 49., Threaded bolts 50. are respectively disposed in each of the basal frames and the eyes in` brackets 46 are adaptedv to register with` said bolts-'and wing nuts 51 are mounted on said bolts 50; thus` securing the sides rmly to the base. It is to be observedthat the legs 49 ofthe brackets pass'under the basali portionsoftheside frames when theyy are folded so as to permit thel latter to nestle snugly.
Having described-this` invention, what' is claimed is:I
1". A portable play pen for babiescomprising a plurality of panel-like sides, hinged together inl seriesv fashion for folding in' portable form whenv not in use, a plurality of basal sections hinged. together alternately on top and bottom to form' a base andv adapted to be folded in portable fashion, brackets respectively engaging said sides and in operative relation with means on said base to prevent vertical displacement, and means' respectively engaging the top middle portions of said sides to prevent arcuate displacement.
2. A portable play pen for babies comprising a 'plurality of sides hinged together in series fashion for folding in compact form when not in use; a plurality ofsections' hinged together in alternate fashion and adapted to form a base and to be folded in compact form when not in use; a plurality of brackets respectively engaging` one side of said'basev and adapted forengage'rnentwith a plurality of bolts in said base, and means on said bolts for securing said brackets to said base so asto prevent 4 vertical displacement of said sides with respect to said base, and l'atching means'on the top edges of said sides to retard arcuate movement thereof wtih respect to each other.
