ABSTRACT:
A crib dropside assembly is provided which includes a pair of end fittings that eliminate the gaps which ordinarily are found between the top rail of the crib dropside and the corner posts of the crib. Each end fitting includes a base portion which is secured to the bottom side of the top rail of the crib dropside and a shield which is coupled to the base portion. The shield engages the inner surface of a corner post in such a manner that there is substantially no gap between the end fitting and the corner post. The shield also defines an enclosure which contains all or part of a track engagement member. The track engagement member is coupled to a track located on the corner post. By eliminating the gaps between the top rail and corner posts as described above, the possibility of clothing or bedding materials being caught between these elements is greatly reduced.
