Abstract

A portable foldable playpen assembly comprising a foldable frame assembly and an enclosure. The foldable frame assembly includes a central hub, at least four support legs spaced outwardly of the hub, and a linkage assembly hingedly connected to the central hub and to the legs. The linkage assembly is adapted to maintain the legs in a first expanded spaced array in which they are upright and generally parallel and widely spaced from the central hub and to permit movement of the legs into a second contracted compact array in which the legs are much closer to the central hub and to each other for transport. The enclosure is secured to the support legs and may include a depending skirt at the base of the enclosure.
