Abstract
Abstract A crib is foldably contained in a portable receptacle. The base members of the crib are formed by the receptacle itself when in an open position and end panels of the crib are hingedly attached to each base member. Side rails of the crib are hinged to each end panel and can be swung into position after the panels are raised to a vertical position. Means are provided to lock the side rails to the base members and to the end panels. Legs for the crib are foldable within each side rail and can be locked in operational position to form a sturdy crib raised off of the floor.
