ABSTRACT:
A foldable baby crib having a joint, which is located at the center of each top rail of the foldable baby crib, is disclosed. The joint consists of a cover, which pivotally connects the inner ends of the two round tubes of the top rail; a fixed member, which is received and centered within the cover by means of pins; and a movable member, which is movably hung on a fixed shaft of the fixed member. The fixed member has two spring wings with elongated through hole provided on the ears thereof for allowing the pins to pass therethrough and thereby fix the fixed member to the cover. When the two round tubes of the top rail are extended to become a straight line, the pins passing through the ears are extend into a space just below the inner ends of the two round tubes so as to support the same. The movable member has two inner inclined ribs which, when the moveable member is pushed upward, force the lower ends of the spring wings of the fixed member to shift inward and bring the pins to separate from the inner ends of the two round tubes, and, at this point, depressing the cover will cause the top rail to be folded at the joint.
