  • Patent number: 5388852
    Abstract: In a compact folding child's stroller a front leg and a rear leg each carry at least one wheel. A push bar has a holding area at its upper end. An articulated X-shape rear chassis joins together the two rear legs. Each push bar can slide parallel to the respective front leg between a deployed position and a folded position. Each rear leg is articulated to the respective front leg. A connecting link connects the lower end of each push bar to the respective rear leg. An operating link is articulated to the connecting link and connected to a sliding piece which slides on each rear leg and to which is articulated the upper end of the X-shape rear chassis in order to cause folding of the X-shape chassis and movement towards each other of the two lateral chassis units when the stroller is folded up.
