Abstract

A brake system for a running stroller includes a pair of brake devices respectively secured to a pair of rear support rods of the stroller and controlled by a hand lever through a first steel wire, a synchronizer and a pair of second steel wires, when press the hand lever inward the two brake devices are simultaneously functioned to frictionally brake the brake disks on inner side of a pair of rear wheels of the stroller. A tread plate rotatably secured to a distal portion of a rear support rod can arrest the wheels of the stroller from any movement.

Dependent claims

A brake system for a running stroller comprising:

a brake system combined with a running stroller which has a pair of fore support rods, a pair of rear support rods, a push handle above the rear support rods, a pair of fore wheels and a pair of rear wheels, said brake system comprising a pair of identical brake devices attached to a lower end of the pair of rear support rods respectively and controlled by a hand lever which is rotatably secured to said push handle through a first steel wire, a synchronizer secured to a middle portion of a rear support rod and having a pair of second steel wires, said first wire having an upper end connected with one lateral side of said hand lever and a first cylindrical head on lower end, said second steel wires each having a second cylindrical head on upper end and a lower end thereof respectively inserted through a hollow bolt, a slotted ring, a positioning means which secured to a lower portion of said pair of rear support rods and a bellows rubber tube sequentially, wherein the hollow bolt is screwed into the positioning means with the slotted ring engaged therebetween, a pair of brake levers rotatably and respectively secured to a lower end of said pair of rear support rods each having a central bore to receive a torque spring therein, a rear end connected to the lower end of the pair of second steel wires and secured by a cylindrical retainer and a screw and a fore end connected a brake pad on underside, a pair of brake disks concentrically and respectively integrated with the pair of rear wheels each having a circumferential flange engageable with the brake pads of the brake levers, an arrester ring concentrically formed on center and plurality of arrester plates spacedly and radially projected outward from the arrester ring and a tread plate rotatably secured to a lower end of one of the rear support rods having a check rod enaageable into the arrester plates of said brake disks;
whereby press the hand lever inward, the two brake devices will simultaneously brake the pair of rear wheels and tread the tread plate downward, the wheels will be arrested from any movement.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
