Abstract
An infant carrier includes an upper frame, a seat mount frame, a base frame, and at least one folding mechanism. The seat mount frame is pivoted to the upper frame. The base frame is pivoted to the seat mount frame. The at least one folding mechanism is disposed between the seat mount frame and base frame and for allowing the seat mount frame to pivot relative to the base frame between an unfolded position and a folded position. In such a way, when the infant carrier is not in use, it can provide convenient way to fold infant carrier by operating the at least one folding mechanism for easy storage and transportation.
Claims31
An infant carrier comprising:
- an upper frame;
- a seat mount frame pivoted to the upper frame;
- a base frame pivoted to the seat mount frame;
- and
- at least one folding mechanism disposed between the seat mount frame and base frame and for allowing the seat mount frame to pivot relative to the base frame between an unfolded position and a folded position, the at least one folding mechanism comprising:
- a fold bracket pivoted on the seat mount frame, a pivoting point of the fold bracket and the seat mount frame and a pivoting point of the seat mount frame and the upper frame being located at different positions;
- a slot configuration disposed on the fold bracket;
- and
- a pin disposed on the base frame and inserted into the slot configuration to restrain the seat mount frame from pivoting relative to the base frame or to allow the seat mount frame to pivot relative to the base frame.

- at least one folding mechanism disposed between the seat mount frame and base frame and for allowing the seat mount frame to pivot relative to the base frame between an unfolded position and a folded position, the at least one folding mechanism comprising:
- a fold bracket pivoted on the seat mount frame, a pivoting point of the fold bracket and the seat mount frame and a pivoting point of the seat mount frame and the upper frame being located at different positions;
- a slot configuration disposed on the fold bracket and
- a pin disposed on the base frame and inserted into the slot configuration to restrain the seat mount frame from pivoting relative to the base frame or to allow the seat mount frame to pivot relative to the base frame;
- and
- a mounting pod disposed on the base frame;
- and
- a swing assembly coupled to the mounting pod for swinging the infant carrier.
