Abstract
A baby playpen-bassinet combination comprising a playpen and a bassinet detachably mounted to the playpen. The playpen comprises two outer fabric sides with connecting members and four corner blocks. Each corner block is provided with a vertical hole and a vertically extending rib. The bassinet comprises two extension portions with connecting members engageable with the connecting members of the playpen, two supporting rods and four coupling members. Each coupling member has a first portion to be inserted into a hollow end portion of the supporting rod and a second portion having a vertically extending groove. The second portion is adapted to be inserted into the vertical hole of the corner block with the groove engaging the rib so that each supporting rod is supported on two corner blocks.

A baby playpen-bassinet combination comprising:
- a playpen comprising:
- an upper frame including two horizontal longitudinal rods parallel to each other, two horizontal lateral rods parallel to each other and perpendicular to said two longitudinal rods and four corner blocks each fixedly connecting one of said two longitudinal rods and one of said two lateral rods, wherein each of said four corner blocks is provided with a vertical hole and a vertically extending rib radially inwardly protruded from the wall of said vertical hole;
- a supporting frame fixedly connected to said four corner blocks of said upper frame;
- a bottom frame fixedly connected to said supporting frame;
- and
- a fabric body wrapping around said two longitudinal rods, said two lateral rods and said supporting frame so as to form a peripheral surface of said playpen and cover said bottom frame, wherein said peripheral surface includes two lateral outer fabric sides extending downwards from said two lateral rods, respectively, and provided with first connecting means, respectively;
- and
- a bassinet detachably mounted onto said upper frame of said playpen, comprising:
- a main body received within a space defined by said two longitudinal rods and said two lateral rods of said playpen, wherein said main body includes two longitudinal sides parallel to each other, two lateral sides parallel to each other and perpendicular to said two longitudinal dies and a bottom;
- two suspension sleeves connected to said two longitudinal sides of said main body so as to extend longitudinally, respectively;
- two extension portions connected to said two lateral sides of said main body so as to extend therefrom, respectively, and provided with second connecting means engageable with said first connecting means of said playpen, respectively, wherein said two extension portions extend around said two lateral rods of said playpen, respectively, so as to be fixedly connected to said two lateral outer fabric sides of said peripheral surface of said playpen, respectively, through engagement between said first and second connecting means;
- two supporting rods each having two hollow end portions and passing through said two suspension sleeves, respectively, so that said two hollow end portions of each of said two supporting rods are protruded outside of said sleeve;
- four coupling members each having a horizontally extending first portion to be inserted into said hollow end portion of said supporting rod, and a vertically extending second portion integrally formed with and extending downwards from an end of said first portion and having a radially inwardly recessed groove vertically extending upwards from a bottom thereof, wherein said second portion is adapted to be inserted into said vertical hole in said corner block of said playpen with said vertically extending groove engaging said vertically extending rib in said corner block so that each supporting rod is supported on two corner blocks;
- and
- a bottom plate placed on said bottom of said main body.
