Abstract
A collapsible playyard capable of being securely expanded to a first position and folded to a second position. It includes a foldable upper frame and a collapsible lower frame. The collapsible lower frame includes a pair of central frame members pivotably connected to a second lock structure, and the second lock structure includes a U-shaped cover and a grasp handle connected to a base portion of the U-shaped cover to flip the U-shaped cover. The U-shaped cover includes two connecting portions each having a pair of bulges located on an inside face of the connecting portion facing each other. Each of the central frame members has corresponding fillisters, such that when the U-shaped cover is laid at a horizontal direction, the bulges and the fillisters will be engaged causing the lower frame be locked in an expanded position, which can be unlocked by flipping the U-shaped cover into a vertical direction.
