Abstract:
A playyard floor support frame comprisinga rail mount formed to include a post retainer and a lock retainer, a first floor support rail including a rail pivot post arranged to extend into the post retainer formed in the rail mount to support the first floor support rail for pivotable movement about a rail pivot axis established by the rail pivot post between an erected configuration adapted to support a floor mat on the first floor support rail and above the rail mount and a collapsed configuration adapted to facilitate storage of the playyard floor support frame, the first floor support rail also including a rail lock arranged to engage the lock retainer formed in the rail mount upon movement of the first floor support rail to the erected configuration and to disengage the lock retainer upon movement of the first floor support rail to the collapsed configuration, and a lock controller coupled to the first floor support rail and mounted on the rail mount for movement in a first direction to move the rail pivot post to an inner position in the post retainer and to move the rail lock to engage the lock retainer upon movement of the first floor support rail to the erected configuration to block pivoting movement of the first floor support rail about the rail pivot axis and in a second direction to move the rail pivot post to an outer position in the post retainer and to move the rail lock to disengage the lock retainer to allow pivoting movement of the first floor support rail about the rail pivot axis to allow movement of the first floor support rail relative to the rail mount to assume the collapsed configuration.
