Abstract
A baby carriage having a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs. The pair of rear legs each have an angle bar pivotally connected thereto while the angle bar has a pusher rod body pivotally connected to the other end thereof. With the baby carriage in the opened state, the angle bar is substantially in line with the associated pusher rod body. With the baby carriage in the closed state, the pusher bar body and the associated angle bar are in bent relation to each other, thus reducing the vertical dimension of the baby carriage. Further, in response to the turning movement of the angle bars relative to the rear legs, both the longitudinal and the transverse spacings between the front and rear legs are reduced. In this manner, the baby carriage is folded.
Claims14
A baby carriage comprising:
- means for supporting the baby carriage with respect to the ground including a pair of front legs (3) each having a wheel (71), a pair of rear legs (4) each having a wheel (72), and connecting members (8, 10) for determining the distance between said front legs and between said rear legs;
- folding initiating means including a pair of pusher rod support angle bars (14) extending relatively upwardly and pivotally supported, each at its one end, on said pair of rear legs (4), and a pair of pusher rod means (6) pivotally connected at their lower ends to the other ends of said pusher rod support angle bars (14) and extending relatively vertically;
- connecting means (1, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30) operatively connected between said folding initiating means and said support means and so arranged that when said pusher rod support angle bars (14) are turned substantially downwardly in response to a downward displacement of said pusher rod means (6), said front legs, said rear legs and said connecting members are actuated for moving said front legs (3), said rear legs (4) and said pusher rod means (6) toward one another, said connecting means comprising a pair of front and rear leg supporting rods (1) including pivot means for pivotally supporting said pair of front legs (3) substantially at one end of said supporting rods (1) and said pair of rear legs (4) substantailly intermediate the ends of said supporting rods (1), said supporting rods (1) comprising substantially at the other end thereof further pivot means (5) for said push rod means (6), and wherein said connecting means further comprise a pair of connecting rod turning members (23) each slidably fitted on the respective front leg (3) in the central region thereof, a pair of bar links (25) connected between said pair of connecting rod turning members (23) and said pair of supporting rods (1) adjacent their front end, a pair of pivotally installed arms (26) extending inwardly from said pair of front legs (3), said carrage further comprising downwardly foldable front leg connecting means (8) pivotally supported at its opposite ends by said connecting rod turning members (23) and also pivotally supported by said arms (26) at pivot points (27) spaced a predetermined distance from each end of said front leg connecting means (8).
