  • Patent number: 6854800
    Abstract: A children's high chair comprises a supporting frame (11,111) for a high chair (12,112) for receiving the child. The frame (11,111) comprises in turn a pair of legs (14,15) openable compasswise and with lower ends (19,119) for resting on the ground and stiffening crosspieces (20,120) arranged on both sides of the frame and movable between a non-operational position allowing closing of the frame and an operational position in which the crosspieces engage the legs to hold them steadily in open position. The crosspieces (20,120) can be moved to another more lowered operational position to rest on the ground to constitute high chair rocking members. Advantageously an automatic battery-powered mechanical rocking device can be provided.

  • Patent number: 5749627
    Abstract: A pushchair comprises a frame onto which is hinged a reclinable backrest (24). On opposing sides of the reclinable backrest (24) the frame supports arms (20) pivotally rotatable in a vertical plane between a first position and a second position. Each arm (20) comprises a plurality of engaging notches (19) disposed along a path (23) along which slide pins (18) protruding laterally from the backrest (24). In the first position each arm (20) engages with one of the notches (19) the corresponding pin (18) protruding from the backrest, so as to block the movement of the backrest in a pre-established angular position and in the second position disengages the notches (19) of the plurality from the pin (18) to allow free movement of the backrest. Disposed on the backrest is a manual control to engage the arms (20) and move them simultaneously between the first and the second position.

  • Patent number: 5669664
    Abstract: A highchair comprises a child's chair and a supporting frame on which the chair is supported. The chair has at least one portion which is reclinable by a manual adjusting device. The adjusting device is movable between a position allowing free adjustment and a locked position in which adjustment is prevented. The manual adjusting device includes an operating element disposed on the backrest of the chair for movement between the locked position and the position of free adjustment. Advantageously, the entire chair forms the reclinable portion.

  • Patent number: 5305651
    Abstract: A mechanical transmission (10) in particular for toy automobiles includes a substantially cylindrical element (19) rotating axially in kinematic connection with the motion output (22) of the transmission. On the cylindrical element (19) there are fitted in a rotating manner toothed gears (17, 18) each of which is in kinematic connection at a different ratio with the motion input of the transmission. Inside the cylindrical element (19) a cursor (24) is axially sliding between the gears (17, 18) for selective sequential radial engagement between the cylindrical element (19) and the gears (17, 18) so as to realize motion transmission with a different ratio between input and output through selection of engagement between the cylindrical element and a gear.
