Infant sleep device

1 . An infant sleep device, comprising:

a sleep enclosure portion having a sleep surface with an upper surface upon which a mattress is disposed during use, an upper support, and a sidewall structure that extends between the sleep surface and the upper support to define an enclosed area;

a support base that is connected to the sleep enclosure portion and supports the sleep enclosure portion above a floor;

the sleep enclosure portion and the support base are removably attached to one another; and

a single pull handle that is configured to be manually pulled to permit release of the sleep enclosure portion from the support base.

2 . The infant sleep device of claim 1 , wherein the support base includes a sleep surface connector at an upper end thereof;

the sleep enclosure portion and the sleep surface connector are removably attached to one another, and the single pull handle is configured to be manually pulled to permit release of the sleep enclosure portion.

3 . The infant sleep device of claim 2 , wherein the single pull handle releases the sleep enclosure portion from the sleep surface connector.

4 . The infant sleep device of claim 2 , comprising an attachment mechanism that removably attaches the sleep surface connector and the sleep surface, and the single pull handle is connected to the attachment mechanism.

5 . The infant sleep device of claim 4 , wherein the attachment mechanism includes diametrically opposite spring biased clips that are biased radially outward, and the clips are mechanically-linked to the single pull handle.

6 . An infant sleep device, comprising:

a sleep enclosure portion having a sleep surface with an upper surface upon which a mattress is disposed during use, an upper support, and a sidewall structure that extends between the sleep surface and the upper support to define an enclosed area;

a support base that is connected to the sleep enclosure portion and supports the sleep enclosure portion above a floor;

the sleep enclosure portion and the support base are removably attached to one another;

a pull handle that is configured to be manually pulled to permit release of the sleep enclosure portion from the support base;

wherein the support base includes a sleep surface connector at an upper end thereof;

the sleep enclosure portion and the sleep surface connector are removably attached to one another, and the pull handle is configured to be manually pulled to permit release of the sleep enclosure portion;

an attachment mechanism that removably attaches the sleep surface connector and the sleep surface, and the pull handle is connected to the attachment mechanism;

the attachment mechanism includes diametrically opposite spring biased clips that are biased radially outward, and the clips are mechanically-linked to the pull handle;

wherein the attachment mechanism includes a plurality of tabs that are circumferentially spaced from one another and each of which extends radially inwardly toward a centerpoint; and the clips and the tabs interact with each other to removably attach the sleep surface connector and the sleep surface.

7 . The infant sleep device of claim 4 , wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a protrusion and a slide, the protrusion includes a shoulder and the slide includes a tab that is engageable with the shoulder.

8 . The infant sleep device of claim 2 , wherein the single pull handle is disposed at a bottom side of the sleep surface connector.

9 . The infant sleep device of claim 5 , wherein each one of the tip ends have an angled surface, and the angled surfaces face toward the sleep surface.

10 . The infant sleep device of claim 2 , wherein the support base further includes a hub spaced from the sleep surface connector, and a support pole; the support pole has an upper end connected to the sleep surface connector and a lower end that extends through the hub.

11 . The infant sleep device of claim 10 , wherein the support base further includes at least three support legs, each support leg having a first end that engages the floor and a second end raised a distance above the floor, and the second ends are connected to the hub, and the hub is disposed above the floor.

12 . The infant sleep device of claim 10 , further comprising an adjustment mechanism on the hub that controls vertical movement of the support pole relative to the hub whereby the height of the sleep enclosure portion above the floor can be adjusted.

13 . The infant sleep device of claim 1 , wherein the upper support is movable between a raised position and a lowered position, the upper support is biased upward toward the raised position; and further comprising a lock mechanism that temporarily locks the upper support at the lowered position.

14 . The infant sleep device of claim 1 , further comprising a spring bias acting on the single pull handle whereby the single pull handle is manually pulled against the spring bias to permit release of the sleep enclosure portion from the support base.

15 . An infant sleep device, comprising:

a sleep enclosure portion having a sleep surface with an upper surface upon which a mattress is disposed during use, an upper support, and a sidewall structure that extends between the sleep surface and the upper support to define an enclosed area;

a support base that supports the sleep enclosure portion above a floor, the support base includes a sleep surface connector at an upper end of a support pole;

the sleep surface is rotatable freely relative to the sleep surface connector about a vertical axis; and

the sleep enclosure portion and the sleep surface connector are removably attached to one another, wherein the sleep surface and the sleep surface connector are configured to allow the sleep surface to be detached from the sleep surface connector and then reattached to the sleep surface connector in any rotational orientation between the sleep surface and the sleep surface connector about the vertical axis.

16 . The infant sleep device of claim 15 , wherein the pull handle comprises a single pull handle.

17 . The infant sleep device of claim 15 , wherein the sleep surface connector is able to rotate freely relative to the support pole about an axis of the support pole.
