Abstract

A foldable articulation for a playpen includes a mounting seat, two pivot rods pivotally mounted on two opposite ends of the mounting seat, and a folding device mounted on the mounting seat and releasably rested on each of the two pivot rods. Thus, the articulation is operated to fold the playpen when not in use, thereby saving the space of storage. In addition, a user only needs to press the press member of the folding device to fold the articulation, so that the user's one hand will not be inserted into the inside of the mounting seat, thereby preventing the user's one hand from being clamped so as to protect the user's safety.
