The present invention provides a flexible door for use in enclosing a protected area, thus limiting ingress or egress. The invention includes a tracking system for accommodating the door from above and below and has both top and bottom portions. Also a bendable portion that is engageable with both the top and bottom portions of the tracking system is provided. Further, mesh faces can be attached to the bendable portions for the door and can be engageable with the strip-like portions.

The invention relates to the provision of a canopy for use primarily indoors which is provided to be positioned with an item of furniture, such as a bed. The canopy, which is particularly attractive to children, gives the appearance that the item of furniture is enclosed by the canopy . The canopy includes a frame having a cover section and support members depending downwardly therefrom. The support members of the canopy can be adjusted with respect to the cover section to allow the same to be adjustable to accommodate different sizes of items of furniture within a range of dimensions.

A co-sleeper convertibly adapted for use as a bassinet or changing table comprising: a frame comprising left and right side rails (58,62) and a rear rail (54), said rails being substantially horizontal and supported by a plurality of vertical supports, said left and right side rails forming a top plane, said frame further comprising a plurality of support rails (90,94), said support rails being substantially horizontal and located on a plane lower than said top plane; an upper front rail (50), said front rail being engagable at a height below said top plane or at a height wherein said upper front rail is substantially coplanar with said top plane; an enclosure (14), said enclosure being sized to fit substantially within the frame and comprising an open top (18) and a bottom panel (22), said open top having a perimeter substantially coextensive with said left and right side rails and said rear rail, said enclosure further comprising left, right and rear walls (34,38,30) extending from said perimeter to said bottom panel, said left and right walls each having a first edge joined to said rear wall, and a second edge opposite from said first edges, said enclosure further comprising a front portion (26), said front portion comprising a flap of sufficient length to allow said flap to be engaged to said upper front rail when said upper front rail is engaged to said frame at a height wherein said upper front rail is substantially coplanar with said top plane, said flap further comprising left and right edges having means for selectively joining said left and right edges to said left and right side walls, respectively, along said second edges to allow a front wall of varying height to be formed; wherein said bottom panel of said enclosure rests on said support rails when said enclosure is disposed within said frame, and further wherein said front portion is selectively joined to said left and right walls and to said upper front rail when said upper front rail is engaged to said frame; and a securing strap assembly for securing the co-sleeper to a parental bed.

A head-side inflow/outflow unit (60) and a foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70), which have a respective outlet opening (61, 71) for providing a supply of conditioned air to a sleeping compartment (11) within a capsule main body (20) and a respective inlet opening (62, 72), associated with the outlet opening (61, 71), for drawing in internal air of the sleeping compartment (11), are provided. The air-conditioning capacity of conditioned air supplied through each of the outlet openings (61, 71) is controlled such that the temperature of conditioned air supplied through the outlet opening (61) of the head-side inflow/outflow unit (60) falls below the temperature of conditioned air supplied through the outlet opening (71) of the foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70). In the head-side inflow/outflow unit (60), the inlet opening (62) is situated below the outlet opening (61), while on the other hand in the foot-side inflow/outflow unit (70) the inlet opening (72) is situated above the outlet opening (71), thereby producing flow of an air current causing a short-circuit between the outlet opening (61, 71) and the inlet opening (62, 72).

An enclosure for a crib or playpen includes a dome-shaped top and a box-shaped bottom structure for completely enclosing the interior of a crib or playpen. The enclosure includes a flap in the dome-shaped top to allowing a parent or guardian to easily place a child in or remove a child from the crib or playpen. The enclosure also has features which prevent a child from opening the flap.

A convertible audio-visual display center adapted to reproduce visual images on a video display unit such as a television and audio reproductions of sound or music for the entertainment and/or education of infants in their cribs. The same device is readily convertible to usage as a work station for a computer console with simple adjustments.

The invention relates to a resting device. According to the invention this resting device comprises an at least partly horizontal lying means extending at a distance above the ground and connected at its ends with uprights, which lying means is provided with an adjustably supported tube-shaped envelope, in which an opening is formed for getting in and out of the device, said envelope comprising on either side an end ring, which end rings are supported within the uprights by support rollers.

This invention generally consists of the creation of a structure around a bed of transparent material which provides a confined space within which certain conditions (temperature, humidity, ionization of air, etc.) can be amply controlled by the subject, uninfluenced by the variability of external conditions.

The crib is formed of walls of mesh (12,20) in order to eliminate a multiplicity of rigid vertical bars. In addition, a hemispherically shaped canopy (35) of similar mesh structure is fitted to the crib. This canopy has two sections either of which can be pivoted to an open position to obtain access to the crib.
