  • Patent number: 11912172
    Abstract: An infant carrier releasing structure includes a releasing piece, a linkage assembly and a locking piece, the releasing piece may be slidably disposed on an infant carrier, and the linkage assembly is set in the infant carrier, the releasing piece is connected to an end of the linkage assembly, and another end of the linkage assembly is connected to the locking piece, the locking piece is connected pivotally to the infant carrier, and configured to be engaged with the base, wherein when the releasing piece is slid, the linkage assembly is driven by a slide of the releasing piece, so that the locking piece is driven by the linkage assembly and disengaged from the base to release the infant carrier from the base. The infant carrier releasing structure of the disclosure has a simple structure, is easy to operate and low in production cost.

  • Publication number: 20240034384
    Abstract: In one example, a child carriage has a frame with wheels. The frame has a coupler that removably couples the child carriage to a child carrier, such as a seat or bassinet. The frame has first and second leg assemblies, each having a front leg and a rear leg that are pivotably coupled about a first axis. The first crosspiece extends between the front legs of the first and second leg assemblies, and the second crosspiece extends between the rear legs of the first and second leg assemblies. The carriage is devoid of any push handle that extends above the child carrier. The frame folds about (i) the first axis from an expanded configuration to a first folded configuration so as to align hinges of the first and second crosspieces along a second axis, and (ii) the second axis from the first folded configuration to a second folded configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240034386
    Abstract: In one example, an organizer removably couples to a handle of a child carrier. The organizer has a tray, a storage container, and a flexible material. The tray has an opening that extends into the tray's upper end towards the tray's lower end and that can receive an item for storage. The storage container is disposed below the tray and has an open upper end and a closed bottom end. The flexible material is coupled to the tray and the storage container. The organizer transitions between an expanded configuration in which the flexible material defines sides of the organizer between the tray and the storage container, and a compact configuration in which the tray and storage container are positioned closer to one another. In another example, the child carrier has a handle that extends and retracts and that prevents installation of the organizer when the handle is extended.

  • Publication number: 20240034383
    Abstract: In one example, a wheeled carriage has a frame with couplers that releasably couple to a child carrier so as to prevent upwards removal of the child carrier from the carriage. The couplers can include a pair of couplers that removably couple to opposing sides of the child carrier. The couplers can include at least one other coupler that removably couples to the child carrier. The carriage is devoid of any push handle that extends above the child carrier and is configured to be pushed by a push handle of the child carrier when the child carrier is coupled to the carriage. The at least one other coupler can limit torque applied to the pair of couplers when the carriage is pushed by the child carrier push handle, and/or couple to a coupler of an infant car seat that also couples the infant car seat to a car seat base.

  • Publication number: 20240025310
    Abstract: An infant car seat includes a seat main body having a handle mount, a canopy unit operable to positionally cover the seat main body, and a handle mounted to the handle mount of the seat main body. The handle is rotatable relative to the handle mount about a mounting axis, and is operably connected to the canopy unit so that rotation of the handle relative to the handle mount drives the canopy unit to move relative to the seat main body.

  • Publication number: 20240017759
    Abstract: In one example, a carriage for pushing a child carrier has a wheeled frame that transitions between expanded and folded configurations. The frame has first and second leg assemblies and first and second linkages. The first leg assembly has a first front leg and a first rear leg that are pivotably coupled to one another. The second leg assembly has a second front leg and a second rear leg that are pivotably coupled to one another. The first linkage is attached to the first front leg and the first rear leg, and the second linkage is attached to the second front leg and the second rear leg so as to guide movement of the front and rear legs as the frame is transitioned between the expanded and folded configurations. The first and second linkages each define a support surface that supports an underside of the child carrier.

  • Publication number: 20240001819
    Abstract: An infant car seat is adapted for being installed on a seat carrier. The infant car seat includes a seat shell, a latch, a release unit, and a resilient member. The seat shell is formed with a receiving space having an opening. The latch is disposed in the receiving space, and is adapted for engaging with a ledge of the seat carrier. The release unit includes an actuating member operable to drive the latch to move from a rest position, where a portion of the latch protrudes out of the opening for engaging with the ledge of the seat carrier, to a retracted position, where the latch is retracted into the receiving space. The resilient member is connected between the seat shell and the latch for biasing the latch toward the rest position.

  • Publication number: 20230382277
    Abstract: A handle angle adjustment mechanism included a basket, a handle and an adjusting component. The basket includes a plurality of first locking portions. The handle is pivoted to the basket. The adjusting component is disposed between the basket and the handle and slidably on the handle. The adjusting component includes a first engaging portion for engaging with one of the plurality of first locking portions so as to lock the handle with the basket, and the adjusting component can slide to drive the first engaging portion to disengage from the one of the plurality of first locking portions so as to allow the handle to rotate relative to the basket for adjusting an angle of the handle relative to the basket. Therefore, it can prevent the handle from hindering a user from placing a baby on the basket, which facilitates the placement of the baby by the user.

  • Patent number: 11827128
    Abstract: A tilt adjusting mechanism for adjusting a tilting angle of a tilting component includes a supporting component and a locking component. The supporting component is disposed under the tilting component in a height-adjustable manner. At least two engaging holes are formed on the supporting component along a height adjustment direction. An end of the locking component rotatably engages in the tilting component, and another end of the locking component is configured to engage in one of the at least two engaging holes. A supporting height of the supporting component relative to the tilting component can be adjusted when the locking component disengages from the one of the at least two engaging holes, so as to adjust the tilting angle of the tilting component. The tilt adjusting mechanism has advantages of simple structure, low production cost and convenient operation.
