Abstract: Foldable playyard comprising upper and lower frame assemblies. The lower frame assembly comprises a unitary central hub member, corner leg connecting members preferably in the form of support feet, and hub legs diverging radially outwardly from the hub member. The upper frame assembly includes corner rail connecting members and pairs of in-line side rails which are pivotably coupled at their outer ends to adjacent corner rail connecting members and at their inner ends to a medial rail connecting member. Corner legs interconnect and are freely coupled to the upper and lower frame assemblies. In one embodiment, the medial rail connecting member houses a hand releasable latch mechanism. In other embodiments, a hand releasable latch mechanism is rotatable with the side rails between latched and released positions. When the playyard is erected, the hub legs and side rails maintain the corner legs upstanding in a spread configuration.
