  • Patent number: 5279006
    Abstract: The present invention employs a swivelable locking member which is pivotally connected to upper frame supports on a play yard. The frame of the play yard also employs vertical supports whose spacing is maintained by a number of lateral extending members. Complementary inner and outer support members are employed to maintain the shape of the play yard and relative position of the structural members of the play yard. Alternatively, a motion inhibiting insert may be placed between adjacent lateral extending members. This, combined with the swivelable locking bracket, ensures easy pivot assembly or disassembly of the present invention, and ensures that the play yard will not accidentally collapse.

  • Patent number: 5125676
    Abstract: This invention relates to a controlling structure for a handle and castors of a stroller and in particular to one utilizing a driven seat to activate a movable member which in turn pulls two strings so as to change the front castors from a freely rotatable state to a fixed-position state and the rear castors from a fixed-position state to a freely rotatable state when the handle is pushed to the other side, thereby enabling a user to control the stroller easily even when he pushes the handle to the other side so as to change the travelling direction.
