Abstract: A pivotably-mounted extendable gate for restricting access by infants or pets through an opening defined by a pair of opposed vertical surfaces or walls. The gate is pivotably mounted via hinges pivotably attached to the gate which are slidably received within sleeves of retaining brackets mounted to one of the walls. The gate is extendable and retractable via two separate and similar gate members which are slidably coupled together. A pair of vertically-spaced-apart receptacles mounted on the opposite walls receive upper and lower portions of one of the gate members to prevent pivotable movement of the gate when so received. A latch provided on the upper portion of the gate engages with the upper receptacle to prevent sliding movement of the gate.

Abstract: An article of furniture which is convertible between a crib bed configuration and a twin bed configuration. Each configuration includes a headboard, a footboard, and a mattress frame assembly. In the crib bed configuration, the headboard and footboard are identical, each including a pair of outer vertical rail members and a central member. To convert each to the twin bed configuration, the outer vertical rail members are removed and the central member is rotated ninety degrees. The rotated members form the twin headboard and footboard. The rotated members may be re-configured to provide a higher headboard than footboard in the twin configuration. The mattress frame assembly is also re-configurable between the crib bed configuration and the twin bed configuration, by pivoting extension frame members between perpendicular and parallel positions relative to a central frame member.
