ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates of playpens and more particularly to a structure of a collapsible leaf for a playpen which leaf is usually attached to one side of the playpen without disturbing the baby playing in the playpen and is supportable on the top of the playpen for placing the things such as toys, milk or the other objects required.
Conventionally, a playpen has no place to put the things required to feed a baby. Thus, the producer provides a collapsible leaf attached to a playpen (as shown in FIG.
1
). The collapsible leaf includes a rectangular frame
1
covered up with cloth
30
, a pair of supports
2
symmetrically secured under a pair of transverse bars of the frame
1
by rivets
6
and each having a semi-circular slot
8
engageable with the top of the ails
4
of a playpen respectively and a pair of hinges
3
each having pair of transverse through holes for respectively coupling with a longitudinal bar of the frame
1
and the rail
41
of the playpen. So that the leaf is able to for about 180° to hang on the rail
41
and the top of the transverse bars lean on the uprights
9
of the playpen. However, this collapsible leaf has a disadvantage that the hinges
3
are difficult to assemble to the rail
41
. Besides, a hanging object without fixing to the uprights is unstable.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention has a main object to provide a collapsible leaf for a playpen. The collapsible leaf is suspended from the playpen and is readily to assemble or disassemble with the playpen.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a collapsible leaf for a playpen. When the collapsible leaf is collapsed, it can be fixed to a pair of uprights of the playpen.
The present invention will become more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the attached drawings.
