ABSTRACT:
A frame structure for a foldable children play-yard adaptable to include a curve side rail to form at least a portion of its upper perimeter. The frame structure comprises a plurality of support members, an upper frame member and a lower frame member. The upper frame member is constructed of a plurality of side segments, which define the upper perimeter of the play-yard and comprise rail members, which can include a curve portion. The rail members are coupled in a rotatable relationship disposed between the adjacent support members. The side segments have opposite distal end portions in engagement with support brackets mounted on the support members, the support brackets are adaptable to affix the side segment when the play-yard is in the open configuration and to permit the side segments to move in more than a single degree of freedom (for example, translational, axial-rotational movement and swivel movements) when the play-yard is being folded. The base frame member comprises a base hub, a plurality of extension members hingedly coupled to the base hub and extending therefrom to engage the lower portions of the support members in a pivotal relationship.
