Baby Playpen Whose Enclosure Cloth Will Not Be Rubbed or Worn Out By The Posts

Abstract

A playpen includes a support frame, an enclosure cloth, and a plurality of fixing bars. The support frame includes a plurality of support posts each provided with a mounting tube. Each of the fixing bars has a first end provided with a fixing column inserted into the mounting tube and a second portion provided with a connecting strip. Thus, the connecting strip of each of the fixing bars is secured on the enclosure cloth and protrudes outwardly from the mounting tube to separate the enclosure cloth from the mounting tube of each of the support posts so that the enclosure cloth will not directly contact with the mounting tube of each of the support posts to prevent the enclosure cloth from being rubbed or worn out due to a frequent frictional contact.

       4 . The playpen of  claim 1 , wherein
 the support frame includes a plurality of support posts for mounting a respective one of the fixing bars;   each of the support posts of the support frame has a sidewall provided with two spaced mounting tubes for mounting the respective fixing bar;   the first portion of each of the fixing bars is provided with an elongate fixing column inserted into the respective mounting tube of the respective support post to attach each of the fixing bars to the respective mounting tube of the respective support post;   the second portion of each of the fixing bars is provided with an elongate connecting strip connected with the enclosure cloth.   
   
   
       5 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the enclosure cloth has a plurality of corners each provided with two connecting pieces secured on the connecting strip of a respective one of the fixing bars. 
   
   
       6 . The playpen of  claim 5 , wherein
 the two connecting pieces of the enclosure cloth abut two opposite sides of the connecting strip of the respective fixing bar respectively;   the connecting strip of the respective fixing bar is sandwiched between the two connecting pieces of the enclosure cloth.   
   
   
       7 . The playpen of  claim 6 , wherein the two connecting pieces of the enclosure cloth are combined with the connecting strip of the respective fixing bar by at least one fastening string. 
   
   
       8 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein
 the mounting tube of each of the support posts has a side provided with an opening;   the connecting strip of each of the fixing bars extends through and protrudes outwardly from the opening of the mounting tube of the respective support post.   
   
   
       9 . The playpen of  claim 8 , wherein the opening of the mounting tube of each of the support posts extends longitudinally through a whole length of the mounting tube. 
   
   
       10 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein
 each of the support posts of the support frame has an inner portion provided with a hollow space;   the mounting tube of each of the support posts extends into and is located in the hollow space of each of the support posts.   
   
   
       11 . The playpen of  claim 10 , wherein each of the support posts of the support frame is an elongate hollow body. 
   
   
       12 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the mounting tube of each of the support posts extends longitudinally through a whole length of each of the support posts. 
   
   
       13 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein each of the fixing bars is mounted between a respective one of the support posts of the support frame and the enclosure cloth. 
   
   
       14 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the connecting strip of each of the fixing bars has a wedge-shaped profile. 
   
   
       15 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the connecting strip of each of the fixing bars extends from the fixing column. 
   
   
       16 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the connecting strip of each of the fixing bars has a size smaller than that of the fixing column. 
   
   
       17 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the enclosure cloth is spaced from each of the support posts of the support frame. 
   
   
       18 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the enclosure cloth is spaced from the mounting tube of each of the support posts. 
   
   
       19 . The playpen of  claim 2 , wherein the support frame further includes a plurality of fasteners each abutting a respective one of the fixing bars and each detachably locked onto a respective one of the support posts to limit the respective fixing bar on the respective support post so as to prevent the respective fixing bar from being removed from the respective support post.
