Abstract:
1. A play yard comprising: a frame structure supporting an upper boundary member, a bottom member and sides extending between said upper boundary member and said bottom member; and a bassinet having a bottom support surface and being detachably supported from said upper boundary member by elongated, generally vertically oriented support members that are pivotally supported on both said bottom support surface and said upper boundary member so that said upper boundary member, said bottom support surface of said bassinet and said support members form a four-bar linkage that permits the bassinet to be oscillated relative to said upper boundary members while keeping said bottom support surface in a generally horizontal orientation throughout said oscillation of said bassinet, each said support member being pivotally connected to a connector mount that is detachably mounted on said upper boundary member, a first one of said support members being a rigid drive member operatively connected to a drive mechanism for affecting oscillation of said bassinet.
