Play yard obscurement system

Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for at least partially obscuring a child's vision outside of a play yard. An obscurement system may include a flexible body to be positioned over walls of a play yard. A window may be formed in the flexible body. A window covering portion may selectively configure the window between an open position in which vision outside the play yard is at least partially permitted and a closed position in which vision outside the play yard is at least partially obscured. An obscurement system may include a panel to be secured to a play yard. The panel may at least partially obscure vision outside the play yard when the panel is secured to the play yard.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . An obscurement system comprising:
 a flexible body to be positioned over walls of a play yard;   a window formed in the flexible body; and   a window covering portion to selectively configure the window between an open position in which vision outside the play yard is at least partially permitted and a closed position in which vision outside the play yard is at least partially obscured.   
     
     
         2 . The obscurement system of  claim 1 , the flexible body being formed from a translucent or opaque material. 
     
     
         3 . The obscurement system of  claim 1 , the window comprising at least one of a mesh material or a transparent vinyl material. 
     
     
         4 . The obscurement system of  claim 1 , the window covering portion comprising a translucent or opaque material. 
     
     
         5 . The obscurement system of  claim 1 , further comprising a closure system to selectively at least partially attach or at least partially detach the window covering portion from the flexible body. 
     
     
         6 . The obscurement system of  claim 5 , the closure system comprising at least one of a button, a snap, a zipper, a hook-and-loop fastening system, or a magnet. 
     
     
         7 . The obscurement system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of windows formed in the flexible body; and   a plurality of window covering portions, each window covering portion proximate a corresponding window.   
     
     
         8 . An obscurement system comprising a panel to be secured to a play yard, the panel at least partially obscuring vision outside the play yard when the panel is secured to the play yard. 
     
     
         9 . The obscurement system of  claim 8 , the panel comprising a fixation structure to be secured to a corresponding structure of the play yard. 
     
     
         10 . The obscurement system of  claim 9 , the fixation structure comprising at least one of a button, a protrusion, or a magnet. 
     
     
         11 . The obscurement system of  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of panels to be secured proximate a plurality of windows of the play yard, the panels at least partially obscuring vision outside the play yard when the panels is secured to the windows.
