ABSTRACT:
A playpen has a vertical pipe extending between first and second panels, an upper sleeve fixed to the first panel and receiving the upper end of the vertical pipe, a lower sleeve fixed to the first panel and receiving the lower end of the vertical pipe, elongated openings formed in the upper sleeve, an upper pin extending through the vertical pipe and the elongated openings, a locking lever turnable around the upper pin between first and second positions, a lower pin which interconnects the vertical pipe and the lower sleeve, an upper engaging member fixed to the second panel and disposed above the upper sleeve, a lower engaging member fixed to the second panel and disposed below the lower sleeve, and a distance defining member for defining the maximum distance between the upper and lower engaging members. The contact portions of the upper engaging member and the upper sleeve and the contact portions of the lower engaging member and the lower sleeve are formed with engaging raised and recessed portions, respectively, which are engageable with each other. When the locking lever is in the first position, relative turning movement between the first and second panels is allowed. When the locking lever is in the second position, relative turning movement between the first and second panels is inhibited.
