ABSTRACT:
A double action securing device for the drop side of a crib comprises a guide member connected to the crib or to the drop side in a vertically oriented position. A slide member is slidably mounted to the guide member between two positions for raising and lowering the drop side. A catch pin is axially mounted to the slide member and engageable with an opening of the guide member in at least one of the relative positions. The catch pin has a head which defines a recess for embracing a lower edge of the guide member opening. The weight of the slide member causes the head recess to drop over the lower edge of the opening to lock the slide member with respect to the guide member.
A mattress support is used with the securing device. It has a frame defining a space comprising four vertical brackets connected to four posts of the crib frame. Each bracket has a plurality of vertically spaced open ended slots with open mouths of each slot facing toward a centerline of the crib. A pair of beams which each have pins extending from their end are engaged with the vertical brackets so that at least one pin at one end of each beam is engaged in one slot of each bracket. A cross member engages the beams to hold them apart and hold their pins in the appropriate slot.
