ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel, safer crib structure is provided herein. The crib consists of a number of essential interrelated elements. The crib includes a fixed-height back wall hingedly connected to each of two end gables, which, in the preferred embodiment are assembled in such a way as to appear to be of different heights, while wheels are provided only in the end gable having the apparent greater height. At least one, but preferably only one groove is provided within the inner face of each of the hingedly-connected end gables and preferably also within the back wall to provide at least one contiguous groove. Within this groove, a mattress support having a specified rigidity is adapted to be inserted. The hingedly-connected back wall and end gables with the mattress-support embraced thereby, are held together to form a rigid unit by means of a slidable dropside front wall sliding in a cooperating vertically-extending tongue-and-groove dovetail-like assembly between an inner side face of a vicinal end gable and a vicinal end face of the slidable dropside front wall. Preferably, the vertical tongue is provided on each of the inner, side faces of the vicinal end gables, and the groove is provided in the vicinal end faces of the slidable dropside front wall. The height adjustment of the slidable dropside front wall is provided by a spring-loaded barrel bolt which can only be withdrawn following simultaneously slight upward movement of the slidable, dropside front wall and vertically-inward sliding movement of the barrel bolt. The vertical upward movement of the slidable dropside front wall is restricted by a spring-biased pin which abuts the upper horizontal rail of the slidable dropside front wall, while vertical downward movement of the slidable dropside front wall is restricted by a spring-biased pin which abuts the lower horizontal rail of the slidable dropside front wall.
