Abstract
There is provided a leg folding mechanism, such as a leg folding mechanism for a push chair, the leg folding mechanism comprising a core member having a longitudinal axis and, preferably, first and second axially spaced core guides; a first leg member rotatably mounted on the core member, preferably at the first core guide; a second leg member rotatably mounted on the core member, preferably at the second core guide a shuttle disposed within the core member and moveable within the core member to cause movement of the legs as the shuttle moves within the core.
Claims26
A leg folding mechanism for a push chair, the leg folding mechanism comprising a core member having a longitudinal axis and first and second axially spaced core guides;
- a first rotatable hub for connection to a first leg member and rotatably mounted on the core member at the first core guide;
- a second rotatable hub for connection to a second leg member and rotatably mounted on the core member at the second core guide;
- a shuttle disposed within the core member and axially translatable relative thereto;
- wherein a first engagement portion from one or other of an internal surface of the first hub and an external surface of the shuttle engages with the first core guide to matingly engage with a corresponding first surface on the other of the internal surface of the first hub and the external surface of the shuttle, and a second engagement portion from one or other of an internal surface of the second hub and an external surface of the shuttle engages with the second core guide to matingly engage with a corresponding second surface on the other of the internal surface of the second hub and the external surface of the shuttle, such that in response to axial translation of the shuttle the first and second hubs are caused to rotate.
A leg folding mechanism, comprising:
- a core member having a longitudinal axis and first and second axially spaced core guides;
- a first leg rotatably mounted on the core member at the first core guide;
- a second leg member rotatably mounted on the core member at the second core guide;
- and
- a shuttle within the core member and moveable within the core member to cause movement of the legs as the shuttle moves within the core member.
