Abstract
Abstract A top or guard for an infant''s dressing table or dresserette is provided which is so designed and constructed as to reduce or minimize the possibility of the infant rolling or falling off the table. The top is of such construction that it can be shortened to conform in dimensions or area with the table or dresserette when folded or closed. It comprises sections, one of which is telescopically movable in relation to the other, with the sections provided with means for limiting movement of one section relatively to the other. Other features include track means for maintaining the sections in alignment during movement relatively to each other, and safety belt means secured to one of the sections.
