  • Patent number: 8870214
    Abstract: A child stroller apparatus includes first and second leg frames, a handle and a latch element. The first leg frame includes a first side segment affixed with a first coupling element. The second leg frame includes a second side segment affixed with a second coupling element that is pivotally connected with the first coupling element about a first pivot axis. The handle includes a third side segment affixed with a third coupling element that is pivotally connected with the first coupling element about a second pivot axis. The latch element is operable to move between a locked position where the latch element locks the first, second and third coupling elements together to hold the handle and the first and second leg frames in a deployed state, and an unlocked position to allow relative rotations between the handle and the first and second leg frames to collapse the stroller apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8469832
    Abstract: A swing apparatus comprises a support frame, a plurality of swing arms pivotally connected with the support frame, a mount platform connected with the swing arms, wherein the swing arms are operable to swing the mount platform relative to the support frame, and a portable infant holding device adapted to removably fasten with the mount platform. Once it is installed on the mount platform, the infant holding device can be positioned above the support frame and swing arms, in particular above the pivot links that connect the swing arms with the support frame. As a result, the swing apparatus can be used in a more versatile manner, and access to the infant holding device can be facilitated for placement and removal of the infant.

  • Patent number: 8141895
    Abstract: A stroller comprises a support frame and a handle, and a seat assembled between the support frame and the handle. A front leg is coupled with a rear leg via a first pivot link, and a side segment of the handle is movable relative to the front and rear leg. The seat has a front portion pivotally connected with the front leg, and a rear portion pivotally connected with the side segment of the handle. The side segment is in stable abutment against a contact region of the support frame adjacent to the first pivot link for supporting the seat. For folding the stroller, the handle is moved in a first direction that raises the side segment above the support frame for displacing the contact region of the support frame in a forward direction to a disengaged position out of reach for the lower end portion of the side segment.
