  • Patent number: 5416934
    Abstract: A baby crib with pull-out mattress (10) that is designed with a mattress frame (20) and mattress (22) that can be pulled outwardly away from the front perimeter of the crib. With the mattress (22) completely exposed, the mattress covering(s) can be easily and quickly removed and changed. This feature aids in convenience and ease as well as preventing back aches that frequently occur from bending over the crib's front rail to change the mattress covering(s). To allow the mattress frame (20) and mattress (22) to be slid in and out, they are attached to a first and second horizontal slide assembly (26). The crib (10) design also includes a retractable leg assembly (30) that is normally placed in a retracted position underneath the mattress frame (20). However, when the horizontal slide assembly (26) is slid forwardly, the retractable leg assembly (30) automatically causes a retractable leg (30A) to pivot downward to support the extended mattress frame (20).
