Abstract: The present invention provides a novel baby crib having means to mount a mattress platform at a variety of selected heights above the floor and a gate stop adjustable between an operative and an inoperative orientation. In the operative orientation, the gate stop prevents the gate from being lowered to its normally lowest position. In the inoperative orientation, the gate stop does not interfere with gate travel. The invention in a first embodiment provides means so that when the mattress is in the maximum height position, the gate stop must be in the operative orientation, thus preventing the gate from being lowered beyond the mattress height position.

Abstract: A baby crib has a first and a second gate which are substantially planar, parallel and vertical, are spaced apart from each other and are slidingly attached to posts so as to move in a vertical direction between the bottom open position and a top closed position. A planar mattress support platform is positioned between said gates and is releasably attached to said posts being perpendicular thereto. A stop means is fixedly attached to said mattress support platform and protrudes horizontally therefrom, and keeper means is fixedly attached to said first gate in a position to engage said stop means when said gate is supported in a position intermediate said top closed position and said bottom open position.

Abstract: A full size baby crib of novel construction which provides a range of vertical mattress positions about double those available in existing standard cribs for the dual purpose of safety and convenience. The construction comprises two balcony type modules at each end of the crib which are cantilevered from four generally upright inboard posts. On the side of the crib containing the gate, the two inboard posts are stabilized and made rigid by a plurality of stabilizers which are all functional parts of the crib. This permits a gate of about one-half of the standard width to move vertically from the top rail to the floor.
