Abstract
Abstract A crib apparatus is arranged wherein the crib includes a crib rear wall, a forward crib wall, a headboard wall, and a foot board wall orthogonally mounted relative to a top floor, wherein the top floor is spaced from a bottom floor defining a mattress cavity therebetween, wherein the mattress cavity includes an entrance opening, with a door coextensively and pivotally mounted relative to the entrance opening. A mattress is slidably mounted within a mattress support plate, with the mattress support plate including a plurality of pivotal legs extending downwardly relative from the mattress plate for support of the mattress for cleaning and maintenance of the mattress during use. Modifications of the invention includes heated support cavities mounted within the cylindrical cavities for support of infant food and fluid nursing bottle members.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A crib apparatus, comprising in combination, a rear crib wall and a forward crib wall, the forward crib wall spaced from and parallel the rear crib wall coextensively therewith, and including a headboard wall spaced from and parallel a foot board wall, wherein each wall defines a continuous upper wall structure defined by spaced parallel vertical bar members, and each of said walls orthogonally mounted to a top floor, and a bottom floor coextensive with and parallel the top floor positioned below the top floor, and a "U" shaped perimeter wall extending coextensively between the top floor and bottom floor and coextensive with the respective rear crib wall, headboard wall, and foot board wall, and a parallelepiped mattress cavity defined between the top floor and bottom floor, and a rectangular entrance opening directed between the top floor and bottom floor coextensively with the forward crib wall, and a mattress cavity door hingedly mounted coextensively to a forward edge of the bottom floor, and a mattress slide plate mounted on the bottom floor arranged for reciprocation from a first position within the mattress cavity to a second position spaced exteriorly of the mattress cavity, and a mattress mounted upon the mattress slide plate, and the bottom floor defining a central opening coextensive with a top surface of the crib mattress.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
219 words
A crib apparatus, comprising in combination, a rear crib wall and a forward crib wall, the forward crib wall spaced from and parallel the rear crib wall coextensively therewith, and including a headboard wall spaced from and parallel a foot board wall, wherein each wall defines a continuous upper wall structure defined by spaced parallel vertical bar members, and each of said walls orthogonally mounted to a top floor, and a bottom floor coextensive with and parallel the top floor positioned below the top floor, and a "U" shaped perimeter wall extending coextensively between the top floor and bottom floor and coextensive with the respective rear crib wall, headboard wall, and foot board wall, and a parallelepiped mattress cavity defined between the top floor and bottom floor, and a rectangular entrance opening directed between the top floor and bottom floor coextensively with the forward crib wall, and a mattress cavity door hingedly mounted coextensively to a forward edge of the bottom floor, and a mattress slide plate mounted on the bottom floor arranged for reciprocation from a first position within the mattress cavity to a second position spaced exteriorly of the mattress cavity, and a mattress mounted upon the mattress slide plate, and the bottom floor defining a central opening coextensive with a top surface of the crib mattress.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
105 words
