1 8 Claims.
The present invention relates to children's play pens.
An object of this invention is to provide a play pen of-novel and improved construction, which can be folded up'into a relatively small portable package, and when desired for use, can be quickly and easily assembled without tools, anywhere. A further object hereof is to provide an article of the character described, of novel and improved construction, whose parts cooperate in a novel manner to elTect a sturdy structure when in assembled condition, and are adapted to fit into one another when folded, to accomplish a compact bundle which is conveniently stored, transported or'carried.
.'Another object hereof is to provide a novel and improved play pen of the nature set forth, which is reasonably cheap to manufacture, which will not become dismantled or collapsed due to any tampering a small child is capable of, which mayinclude means to keep out the sun from the pen area when the play pen is used in the open, as in a back yard, park or at the beach, and which is efficient in carrying out the purposes for which it is designed.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent as this disclosure proceeds.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views. Fig. l is a perspective view of an embodiment of'this invention; as is appears assembled for use. Fi 2- shows in perspective the means used to hold the pen in extended use condition, Such means is a frame occupying a position above the pen, and may serve as a canopy frame. It is here shown in partially open condition.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken at- :line 11-8 in Fig. 2.
- 4 is a perspective view of the frame which supports the pen,.shown in open condition.
Fig. 5 shows the pen component included in this embodiment, in perspective and extended condition. fabric material and the like. It could not of it- "self, stand up as shown. It is supported on the pen frame of Fig. 4. It is presented as shown, to facilitate explanation. '-'Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the pen frame in substantially folded condition.
'-- Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the canopy 'irame in substantially folded condition.
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the 'manner in which the floor bars of the pen-frame, engage the hinge block of the canopy This entire component is made of.
2 frame, when said frames and what they carry are associated to form a small bundle, when the canopy frame is telescopically set within the folded pen frame. 3
Fig. 9 is a fragmentary, perspective exploded view, showing the engaging ends of co-operating' arms and posts, respectively included in said canopy and pen frames.
Fig. 10 shows the structure of Fig. 1, in fully collapsed condition, with its components compactly arranged in a bundle which is easily carried in hand or conveniently stored.
In the drawings, the numeral [5 indicates generally a pen structure made entirely of fabric like material as cloth, netting and binding tape, so that it can be freely-folded in any desired manner. It may consist of a tubular structure made of upright walls defining the pen area, butit may be formed as a box structure having a bottom or'floor component also. In the center of such fabric floor member, is a hole or opening it, to expose and have access to a handle I! carried on hinge block 18, of the pen frame designated generally, by the numeral IS. The fabric pen l5, may be of any polygonal shape, and is found very practical as in the-embodiment illus trated, to beprismatic square. Said pen I 5, is carried by and positioned within orabout the pen frame [9, whereby the vertices of 'the dihedral angles of said pens upright walls, are respectively along thevertical posts 20, 21, 22 and 23, and suitably secured thereto. Of course, the floor bars 24, 25, 2B and 21, are covered by the floor of the fabric pen Hi, from their respective hinge connections to block l8, to the aforementioned vertical posts, which are respectively hingedly connected to the floor bars, as indicated by the numeral 23. Divergent movement of the vertical posts is limited by the fabric pen (5, or chain 45 along its rim hem and their convergent movement, collapses said pen I5. However, upon pulling handle l1 upwardly, the walls and floor of'pen II, will lie between the posts and floor bars of the pen frame 19, as can be visualized from the showing in Fig. 6, where fabric pen I5 is omitted to afford convenience for the explanation of this invention.
The hinge connection 28, is a distance inward from the outward extremities of the floor bars, affording external portions marked prime, which lend greater stability to the assembled structure of Fig. 1. Note the notches in such external portions marked double prime. That is, as to floor bar 24, the outward extension is 24 and the lat-- ter's notches areil". a
It is advisable that hinges 28 shall permit the vertical posts only ninety degrees angular movement with respect to their respectively associated floor bars. Said floor bars and posts are preferably made of fiat bar stock, and as thin as required strength shall permit.
really a little spaced from said ends of the arms It should be noted that such 3|, so that said ends may be in contact-with'a swivelled head 32 at the end of a regulating screw 33, which is threadedly engaged through the hinge block 30.
when swung to folded position as shown in Fig. '7, there is still left some space at the entrances of said respective notches 34, into which may enter the reduced portions, one of which is indicated in Fig. 4, by the numeral 35, between the notches 24" of pen frame floor bar 24, when the entire article is assembled in collapsed condition into a bundle.
It might here be noted that if a fabric canopy is mounted on and about the arms 3| of frame 29, said fabric member will lie within the space determined by said arms shown in Fig. 'l.
The free end of each of the arms 3|, are provided with a notch as at 36. The upper free ends of each of the vertical posts of frame It, also have a notch 37, across which is mounted a pin or better yet, a headed screw 38, positioned loosely through prong 39 and in threaded relation through prong 39. The structure includes as many arms 3|, as there are posts of the pen frame I9, and the dimensions of the various components are such as to afford the structure contemplated in use condition, and to permit engagement of the frames l9 and 23, when put together in collapsed or folded condition, as hereinafter explained. It is evident that an arm 'of the frame 28,can be set with pin 38 within notch 36, to engage a vertical post of frame ID. All said arms and posts are adapted to be so associated. If the arm 3| fits snug between prgngs 39 and 39', and a screw is used as explained, said screw'may be tightened to eifect a secure joint. The entire structure consists principally of two separable parts, shown apart and in folded con dition in' Figs. 6 and '1, where fabric parts, though present, are not shown for the sake of clarity of illustration.
To assemble for use, the arms 3| of frame 29, referring to Fig; 7, are swung downward to position shown as in Fig. 3. Referring to Fig. 6, handle I1 is taken in hand and pushed downward, and then the vertical posts of pen frame H are swung upward, to position as shown in Fig. 4. The respective ends of the arms 3| of frame 29, are now associated with the upper ends of the vertical posts of frame I3; such being-afforded by manipulation of regulating screw 33. Screws 38 are tightened, if same are included. The play pen is in condition for use. How 'todismantle and bring back the parts to condition shown in Figs. 6 and 7 is evident.
For compact assembly into a bundle, the arms 3| of the folded frame 29, are placed into the space determined by the floor bars of the folded Said arms 3| are positionedwithin notches 34 in said hinge block 30, and
4 bars, being set respectively into the entrances of notches 34 in the hinge block 30. A rectangular piece of fabric material indicated by 40, may be used for wrapping the folded assembly, and may be provided with a handle 4|, whereby the package maybe carried. Said fabric cover 40 may have snap fastener parts (not shown) to engage fastener parts 42 on the pen l5, so that piece 40,
when spread out, can be hung as a pen shade in the erected assembly of Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 3, it might be noted that upon downward movement of the regulator screw 33 =through the block 30, the square determined by the outwardly remote ends of arms 3|, is increased, and of course decreased upon reverse move- 'ment-of said regulator screw. The former manipulation is used at assembly into use position,
and the latter when the play pen is to be dis- .mantled. However, regardless of position of said regulator screw 33, the arms 3| are free to be shifted to the position shown in Fig. 7, when frame 29 is separated from the pen frame l9. This invention is capable of various forms and numerous applications without departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It is theref fore intended and desired that the embodiment herein be deemed illustrative and not restrictive and that the patent shall cover all patentable matter herein set forth; reference being had to the following claims rather than to the specific description herein to indicate the scope of this inventio'n.
