Abstract

A child sleeping assembly includes a floorboard, an adjustable panel movably connected to the floorboard to move between a reclined position and an inclined position, a frame mounted to the floorboard, and a fabric enclosure mounted to the floorboard and the frame. The fabric enclosure has a sidewall and floor that defines an enclosed child sleeping area. The sidewall encircles the child sleeping area. The child sleeping assembly also can include an adjustment element connected to the floorboard and configured to travel in an adjustment track of the panel to control positioning of the panel between the reclined position and the inclined position.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a child sleeping assembly. More specifically, this invention relates to a child sleeping assembly with an inclinable sleeping surface to provide comfort to a sleeping child. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Child sleeping assemblies, such as cribs, bassinets, and playards, provide a safe environment in which a child can rest.

[0003] An uncomfortable child, such as one having difficulty breathing, may rest only fitfully if lying flat on his back or on his stomach. To help the child breathe easier, the caregiver can elevate one end of the mattress to raise the child's head and abdomen relative to his feet in a more comfortable sleeping position. The caregiver may elevate the end of the matt...
