Abstract

A coupling device is adapted to be connected foldably to a pair of frame rods of a baby crib frame structure. The coupling device includes a coupling seat, two rod coupling components adapted to be connected respectively to the frame rods and coupled movably to the coupling seat, two locking components connected movably to the coupling seat for preventing and permitting movement of the rod coupling components, and a release unit. The release unit includes a linking component extending between the locking components and formed with two guide holes, a pair of coupling pins extending respectively through and movable respectively along the guide holes and connected respectively to the locking components, and a biasing member. The linking component is movable from an initial position to drive movement of the locking components to permit movement of the rod coupling components, and is biased by the biasing member to the initial position.
