Abstract
A leg assembly for use as at least one supporting leg of an infant enclosure or other device, the leg assembly having an elongated leg member, a solenoid actuator having a coil adapted when the actuator is actuated to move longitudinally relative to the armature of the solenoid actuator and a compression spring which is resiliently compressed upon movement of the coil which imparts motion to the leg member in a vertical direction.

A leg assembly for use as at least one supporting leg of an infant enclosure or other device, said leg assembly having:
- an elongated leg member having a longitudinal axis,
- actuator means having an actuator member adapted when said actuator means is actuated to move longitudinally relative to said longitudinal axis,
- resiliently or elastically compressible spring means arranged coaxially relative to said longitudinal axis and adapted in use to be resiliently compressed upon movement of said actuating member to impart a motion to said leg member and thereby to said enclosure or other device,
- means for selectively actuating said actuator means, and
- wherein said actuator means is located within said spring means.
