Abstract
A foldable play yard includes a plurality of corner posts; a plurality of top rails, each of the top rails rotatably connected to two of the plurality of corner posts to define a polygonal shape; a plurality of reversing links, each of the plurality of reversing links rotatably connected to one of the plurality of corner posts; a central hub; a plurality of lower linkage assemblies, each of the lower linkage assemblies rotatably connected to one of the plurality of reversing links and rotatably connected to the central hub; and a plurality of post linkage assemblies, each of the post linkage assemblies rotatably connected to one of more of the top rails and rotatably connected to one of the reversing links. Lowering the central hub causes each of the lower linkage assemblies to rotate relative to the corner posts in a first direction.
