Abstract
A change table is provided having a top surface for supporting an infant, a proximate end and a distal end. Rails are provided running along a bottom surface of the body. A
connection assembly attachable to a first crib rail of a crib is pivotally and slidably connected to the rails allowing the connection assembly to be slid between the proximate end and the distal end of the body of the change table. To use the change table, the connection assembly is connected to a crib rail on a first side of a crib and the proximate end positioned adjacent the connection assembly with the distal end resting on a crib rail on a second side of the crib. To store the change table, the distal end is positioned adjacent the connection assembly and then the body is pivoted to lie against the first side of the crib.

a body having a top surface for supporting an infant, a bottom surface, a proximate end and a distal end;
at least one rail provided on the bottom surface of the body and running substantially from the proximate end of the body in substantially the distal end of the body;
a connection assembly having a base portion connectable to a first crib rail of a crib, the connection assembly pivotally and slidably connected to the at least one rail on the bottom surface of the body, wherein the connection assembly can be slid from substantially the proximate end of the body along the at least one rail in substantially the distal end of the body; and a retaining projection located at the distal end of the body and extending downwards, the retaining projection preventing the distal end of the body from sliding towards the connection assembly when the connection assembly us connected to a first crib rail of a crib and the distal end of the body is laid on a second crib rail of the crib with the retaining projection positioned past the second crib rail and extending below a top surface of thee second crib rail.
2. The change table of claim 1 wherein the connection assembly comprises at least one rail guide pivotally attached to the clamping portion, the at least one rail guide mating with the at least one rail on the bottom surface of the body so that the at least one rail guide is slidably connected to the at least one rail on the bottom surface of the body.
3. The change table of claim 2 wherein the connection assembly is rigidly connectable to a first crib rail of a crib.
4. The change table of claim 2 or 3 wherein when the connection assembly is connected to a first crib rail of a crib, the at least one rail guide pivots around an axis running substantially parallel to the first crib rail of the crib.
5. The change table of any of claims 1-4 wherein the retaining projection is a portion of a channel, the channel sized to accept a crib rail of a crib.
6. The change table of claim 5 wherein the channel is provided on the bottom surface of the body.
