Collapsible playard
A system includes a support frame of a foldable playard, and bassinet fabrics attached to the support frame of the playard. The support frame includes a central hub and a plurality of rods, each of the rods having a first end pivotably attached to the central hub and a second, free end opposite the first end. The support frame is configured to enable the bassinet fabrics to fold with the foldable playard.
1. A method comprising:
providing a foldable playard and a system including bassinet fabrics attached to a removable fabric enclosure of the foldable playard;
a support frame attached to the bassinet fabrics, the support frame including a central hub and a plurality of rods, each of the rods having a first end pivotably attached to the central hub and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the second end of each of the plurality of rods is an unsupported end,
the support frame permanently attached to an underside of the bassinet fabrics by a series of fabric channels that support the plurality of rods,
the bassinet fabrics connected to the removable fabric enclosure using a series of sewn-in clips that clip over a sewn in webbing detail on an inside of the removable fabric enclosure;
wherein the support frame is configured to enable the bassinet fabrics to fold with the foldable playard; and
folding the support frame and bassinet fabrics with the foldable playard.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein folding the support frame includes rotating each of the plurality of rods from a first position in which each of the plurality of rods is parallel to a plane defined by a top surface of the central hub to a second position in which each of the plurality of rods is perpendicular to the plane defined by the top surface of the central hub.
3. A system comprising:
bassinet fabrics attached to a removable fabric enclosure of a foldable playard;
a support frame attached to the bassinet fabrics, the support frame including a central hub and a plurality of rods, each of the rods having a first end pivotably attached to the central hub and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the second end of each of the plurality of rods is an unsupported end,
the support frame permanently attached to an underside of the bassinet fabrics by a series of fabric channels that support the plurality of rods,
the bassinet fabrics connected to the removable fabric enclosure using a series of sewn-in clips that clip over a sewn in webbing detail on an inside of the removable fabric enclosure; and
wherein the support frame is configured to enable the bassinet fabrics to fold with the foldable playard.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein each of the plurality of rods is rotatable from between a first position in which each of the plurality of rods is parallel to a plane defined by a top surface of the central hub, and a second position in which each of the plurality of rods is perpendicular to the plane defined by the top surface of the central hub.
5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the central hub is configured so that the rods are pushed inward relative to the central hub when the support frame is folded.
6. The system of claim 3 , wherein each of the respective first ends of the rods is tangentially attached to the central hub.
7. The system of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of rods includes four rods.
8. The system of claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of rods is formed from a metal.
