invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described
and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, n side view of one of the gate like sections from which my improved
corral is made.
Fig 2, a section on the line 2-2 thereof; and,

In the practice of my invention, 1 provide a plurality of sections or panels which
are formed in the manner of a gate, and which consist of short, vertical pales, A, and
which are united by cross bars B, which are provided at one end with depending hooks
or projections C, and at the other with eyes or loops D, and by means of these
depending hooks C, and the corresponding eyes or loops D, it will be apparent
that any desired number of sections may be united as shown in Fig. 3, and by thus
uniting any predetermined number of these sections a corral of any desired size,
and almost any desired shape may be produced either square, oblong octagonal, or
other form.
I also connect with the inner side of one or more of the sections a bracket
consisting of a horizontal plate E, which is adapted to be pivotally connected with.
the pales A, as shown at F, and which is provided with a brace or support G,
which is pivotally connected therewith and which is adapted to rest on one of the
cross bars B, and this bracket is adapted to support various articles, which are
used by children in playing or for other purposes, and it will thus be seen that
I provide means whereby a corral or other pen may be quickly and easily forme
in a room or compartment, and within which a child or children may be placed,
and within which such child or children may be retained as long as desirable.
It will also be apparent that the various sections of the corral or pen may be
packed or folded together in a small space, aud that they may be quickly and
easily set up whenever desired.
My invention is not limited to the exact construction of the separate sections
from which the corral or pen is formed as herein shown and described; and it is
evident that changes in and modifications thereof may be made without departing
from the spirit of my invention, or sacrificing its advantages.
