Abstract: The present invention is a folding and telescopic structure that consists of two parallelograms (1) (2), which can be flattened in opposite directions, located on the same plane and joined articulately by two springs (17) from its front (3) and back (4) jambs. These jambs (3) (4), which are “U” shaped and hollow, allow the end (5) and intermediate (6) crossbars to lodge inside to totally occupy the space available inside the hollow jambs. The end crossbar (5) has a groove (8) in which to slide a first shaft (9) of the back jamb (4) at the same time that a it can turn counter-clockwise upon a second shaft (10) of the front jamb (3) . The intermediate crossbar (6) 15 moves in a similar way, but the hinge (13) that receives the second shaft (12) is not fixed on the intermediate crossbar (6), but can be slid across it. FIG. 1.

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).
