ABSTRACT:
A novel, safer crib structure is provided herein. This invention provides a crib in which the mattress can be selectively supported at two different heights with respect to the sides of the crib. In one embodiment, the mattress support is a sheet of plywood securely held in a groove in each of the facing end gables. A fixed height back wall is hinged to the end gables. The front wall is a drop side wall vertically slidably secured to the end gables. To change the height of the mattress, the drop side front wall is slidably removed, the sheet of plywood is slid out of one groove and slid into another groove, and the dropside front wall is again slidably secured to the end gables. In a preferred embodiment, a single groove is used to retain the mattress support, but the end gables are affixed to the back wall in such way that one gable is higher than the other gable. Wheels or castors are provided under the shorter gable to provide a level orientation. The single groove is preferably disposed at a location in the end gables corresponding to one-third of the height of the back wall. When it is desired to change the height of the mattress it is necessary only to invert the crib, to remove the wheels or castors from the top of one end gable and to insert them at the bottom of the other end gable.
