Portable Crib Enclosure

Abstract

A portable modular enclosure used for a baby in a porta crib or play yard. The enclosure has four panels made of mesh material with a flexible frame so that a baby will not be able to clearly see through the panels. The enclosure is constructed of four panels removably connected by snaps, zippers or other connecting means. All our panels fold down to a size which can be inserted into a single carrying case for transportation. The front panel has a flap cut into the panel providing access to the enclosure which can be closed shut or suspended in the open position with VELCRO.

1 . A portable enclosure for securing a baby in a porta crib, play yard or other similar device, comprising:
 four rectangular panels each with a flexible frame attached thereto with cooperating attachment devices located on the panels to allow the panels to fit together to define an enclosed space into which a porta crib, play yard or other similar device can be placed;   a centrally disposed flap fixed at a top portion of a first panel extending downwardly from the upper end fixed portion of the first panel and continuing through the bottom portion of the first panel with cooperating fastener means formed on the flap and the top portion of the enclosure whereby the flap can be disengaged from the first panel into which it is cut and secured to the top portion of the first panel to create an opening to access the inside of the enclosed space;   the rectangular panels being fabricated out of an opaque tightly woven mesh material and attached flexible frame and are adapted to folding the panels into a storage configuration to be secured into a carrying case; and   the rectangular mesh panels allow light and air to flow through the enclosure but obscure the view into or out of the enclosure.   
     
     
         2 . A portable enclosure as set forth in  claim 1 , in which the device further comprises color coding of the cooperating attachment devices on the rectangular panels to facilitate assembly of the enclosure. 
     
     
         3 . A portable enclosure as set forth in  claim 1  in which the device further comprises pieces attached to the bottom corners of the panels on which the legs of the porta crib are placed to provide additional rigidity to the enclosure.
