Abstract
A ride-on vehicle is providing having a frame, a plurality of wheels connected to the frame, a receiver extending from the frame and a seat rotatedly connected in the receiver via a seat post. The receiver extends from the frame at a first acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a vertical axis, and the seat post extends from a bottom of the seat at a second acute angle greater than 0° with respect to the vertical axis. As such, when the seat is positioned in the rear facing orientation the seat is positioned at an acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a horizontal axis.
Claims25
A ride-on vehicle, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of wheels supporting the frame;
- a receiver extending from the frame at a first acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a vertical axis;
- and,
- a seat rotatedly connected to the frame, the seat having a post extending from a bottom of the seat at a second acute angle greater than 0° with respect to the vertical axis, wherein the post is rotatedly received by the receiver of the frame, wherein one of the receiver and post have a first detent position for the seat and a second detent position for the seat, the second detent position being rotationally positioned approximately 180° from the first detent position, wherein the seat is forward facing in the first detent position, wherein the seat is rear facing in the second detent position, wherein a relationship between the post and the receiver causes the bottom of the seat to be positioned in a generally horizontal orientation when the seat is positioned in the first detent and the bottom of the seat to be positioned at an acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a horizontal axis when the seat is positioned in the second detent.
A ride-on vehicle, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of wheels supporting the frame;
- a receiver extending from the frame at a first acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a vertical axis;
- and,
- a seat rotatedly connected to the frame, the seat having a mating member extending from a bottom of the seat at a second acute angle greater than 0° with respect to the vertical axis, wherein the mating member is rotatedly received by the receiver of the frame.
A ride-on vehicle, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of wheels supporting the frame;
- the frame having a receiver;
- a seat rotatedly connected to the receiver of the frame,
- a first rotational detent position for the seat with respect to the frame, the seat being positioned in a forward facing orientation in the first rotational detent position;
- and,
- a second rotational detent position for the seat with respect to the frame, the second detent position being rotationally positioned approximately 180° from the first detent position, the seat being positioned in a rear facing orientation in the second rotational detent position, wherein when the seat is positioned in the rear facing orientation a relationship between the seat and the receiver causes a bottom of the seat to only be positioned at an acute angle greater than 0° with respect to a horizontal axis.
A ride-on vehicle, comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of wheels supporting the frame;
- a seat having a clamp post connected to a bottom of the seat, the clamp post comprising a base member, a swivel plate, and a spring loaded connector joining the swivel plate to the base member;
- and,
- a receiver tube extending from the frame, the receiver tube receiving the clamp post therein, wherein the swivel plate is rotatable with respect to the base member, wherein the base member of the clamp post is rotationally and longitudinally fixed to the receiver tube, and wherein the seat rotates with the swivel plate.
