US 6,233,759 B1 · Combination folding play pen with changing table and bassinet

Abstract

A combination play pen, bassinet and changing table includes a bassinet assembly removably supported on the upper frame assembly of the play pen. The bassinet assembly includes a pair of bassinet frame assemblies, each consisting of a pair of J-tube assemblies joined by a cross tube. The J-tube assemblies include outer ends adapted to overly the upper frame. Bassinet side panels and end panels extend upwardly from the floor panel to form a coffer-like enclosure. An adapter supports the J end of the bassinet tube that overlies a collapsible joint assembly at the midpoint of one upper rail assembly. A changing table assembly includes a tubular frame comprised of paired side tubes and end tubes joined in a rectangular configuration. Two vertices of the changing table frame are adjacent to the adapters of the bassinet assembly. A keyed elbow connector at each vertex includes a T-shaped key received in a key slot of an adapter in supporting fashion. The changing table frame includes a pair of second elbow connectors, each including a pair of lugs projecting therefrom. Each second elbow connector impinges on the web of the adjacent upper corner bracket in supported relationship, and the lugs are received in the concave pocket of the web to retain the vertex of the changing table frame in the upper corner of the play pen frame assembly.
