Abstract

A collapsible structure includes a first frame member defining a base of the structure and a second frame member defining a top of the structure. A piece of foldable material is attached to and extends between the first and second frame members. A plurality of foldable frame supporters is mounted on the piece of foldable material whereby folding of the frame supporters drives the first and second frame members towards a superimposed and collapsed position, and unfolding of the frame supporters drives the first and second frame members towards a spaced apart and expanded position. The collapsible structure can be in the form of a baby bed, a play pen, an igloo or a teepee.
