ABSTRACT:
A playpen floor structure includes a joint, a plurality of tubes pivotably linked to the joint and a device for retaining the playpen floor structure in an extended position. The device includes a housing rotatably mounted on the joint between a first position and a second position, two blades projecting radially from the housing in opposite directions. Each of the blades includes a free end portion projecting downwardly therefrom. The free end portion of each of the blades is formed as a hook. Two of the tubes are engageable with the hooks in the first position. The two of the tubes are disengageable from the hooks in the second position. A cylinder projects downwardly from the housing. A helical spring is mounted on the cylinder. The helical spring includes a first tip secured to the housing and a second tip secured to the joint so that the housing is retainable in the first position by the spring. A recess is defined in the housing, and a recess is defined in an ear projecting upwardly from the joint. The first tip of the spring is receivable in the recess defined in the housing while the second tip of the spring is receivable in the recess defined in the ear. Two limits project radially from the joint in opposite directions for restraining the hooks when the housing is moved to the second position.
