Abstract

A play bin made up of three main parts; a frame, made to simulate the body part of an animal, and constructed with plastic tubes connected together with various kinds of joints, which can sit on the ground; a cover, also made to simulate the body part of the animal, made of a kind of leather, having a lid and two zippers for placing toys or clothes into or removing the same from the play bin; a head with a neck that can be inserted in an opening at the top of the cover, which can be made together with the cover as one unit or separately therefrom. The frame is placed inside the cover in a manner so that it exerts a little expanding elasticity and thus pushes the cover outwardly, keeping a tightly fit combination.
