Play enclosure apparatus

An enclosure apparatus, comprising:

• a first panel having a first connector and a second connector mounted thereto, and said first panel having a first back surface located between said first and second connectors;
• a second panel having a third connector and a fourth connector mounted thereto, and said second panel having a second back surface located between said third and fourth connectors;
• and
• a third panel having a fifth connector and a sixth connector mounted thereto,
• wherein said first, third and fifth connectors are each attachable to one of said second, fourth, and sixth connectors, respectively, to connect said first, second and third panels in a first configuration to form an enclosure, and
• wherein said first and third connectors are attachable to said fourth and second connectors, respectively, to connect said first and second panels in a second configuration with said third panel trapped between said first and second panels by contact with said first and second back surfaces.

An enclosure apparatus, comprising:

• a first panel having a first connector and a second connector mounted thereto, and said first panel having a first back surface located between said first and second connectors;
• a second panel having a third connector and a fourth connector mounted thereto, and said second panel having a second back surface located between said third and fourth connectors;
• a third panel having two sides and a fifth connector and a sixth connector mounted thereto;
• and
• a fourth panel having a seventh connector and an eighth connector mounted thereto,
• wherein said first, third, fifth and seventh connectors are each independently releasably attachable to one of said second, fourth, sixth, and eighth connectors, respectively, to releasably connect said first, second, third and fourth panels in a first configuration to form an enclosure, and
• wherein said first and third connectors are each independently releasably attachable to said fourth and second connectors, respectively, to connect said first and second panels in a second configuration with said third and fourth panels trapped between said first and second panels by contact with said first and second back surfaces.

• a third panel having a fifth connector and a sixth connector mounted thereto;
• a fourth panel having a seventh connector and an eighth connector mounted thereto;
• a fifth panel having a ninth connector and a tenth connector mounted thereto;
• and
• a sixth panel having an eleventh connector and a twelfth connector mounted thereto,
• wherein said first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh connectors are each independently releasably attachable to one of said second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth and twelfth connectors, respectively, to releasably connect said first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth panels in a first configuration to form an enclosure, and
• wherein said first and third connectors are each independently releasably attachable to said third and second connectors, respectively, to connect said first and second panels in a second configuration with said third, fourth, fifth and sixth panels trapped between said first and second panels by contact with said first and second back surfaces.

A connector system for detachably connecting a first panel to a second panel, comprising:

• a first connector portion on the first panel having a first contact portion;
• a second connector portion on the first panel spaced apart from said first connector portion by a space defined between said first and said second connector portions and said second connector portion having a second contact portion;
• a third connector portion on the second panel, shaped to fit between said first and second connector portions, and said third connector having a third contact portion for contacting said first contact portion and a fourth contact portion for contacting said second contact portion;
• and
• a releasable mechanism for selectively urging said first contact portion into contact with said third contact portion and said second contact portion into contact with said fourth contact portion, respectively, to hold said third connector portion securely between said first and second connector portions, thereby connecting the first panel to the second panel,
• wherein when said mechanism is released, said panels are detachable.

A lock mechanism for selectively locking closed a door hingedly mounted in a doorway opening defined by a door frame, comprising:

• a bar having two ends and a substantially u-shaped profile slidably mounted for travel between a first position and a second position on the door frame at the doorway opening, said bar having a cutout defined at one end;
• a rib located on the door, said rib being engaged by said cutout when said bar is in the first position to hold the door closed, and said rib not being engaged by said cutout when said bar is in the second position;
• and
• a selectively releasable engaging member mounted to the panel for releasably engaging said bar to hold said bar in one of the first and second positions.
