#2. Related Art

#The invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description hereafter, which is given only for illustration purposes, and thus should not be construed in limitative way, wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a conventional article carrier for a baby carriage;

#FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an article carrier for a baby carriage according to a first embodiment of the invention;

#Referring to FIGS. 2 3, the invention provides an article carrier for a baby carriage. An article carrier 3 of the baby carriage is suspended at a lower side of a carriage frame 2. The carriage frame 2 includes a plurality of legs and links pivotally connected to one another so that the carriage frame 2 is retractable and deployable. A cot, cradle 2 or safety seat (not shown) is typically positioned inside the carriage frame 2 for carrying the baby.

#The article carrier 3 includes a carrier body 31, a pair of support rods 32 and a cover sheet 33. The carrier body 31 includes a skeleton 34 covered by a woven cloth 35 or fabric, with an opened top to define an accommodating space 36. The support rods 32 are respectively mounted at the upper edges on opposite inner walls of the skeleton 34. The cover sheet is made by, for example, sewing from woven cloth, fabric or soft material. One vertical side of the cover sheet 33 is attached to the carrier body 31. A sleeve 331 further extends from each of the transverse sides of the cover sheet 33 in which each support rod 32 is inserted, so that the cover sheet 33 is able to either deploy for covering and shielding the article carrier or retract for uncovering the accommodating space 36. The other vertical side of the cover sheet 33 is not bonded to the article carrier and is therefore referred to as a free side. A handle or grip portion is further mounted on the free side of the cover sheet 33 for easy operation of the cover sheet 33.

#Referring to FIG. 4, a zipper 4 is optionally mounted at each transverse side of the cover sheet 33 to completely open and close the accommodating space 36.
