  • Publication number: 20220410959
    Abstract: A stroller with a chassis frame which is supportable on a ground via at least three wheels and having at least two receiving devices, in particular child receiving devices, which can be connected to the chassis frame via adapters, the adapters being designed and positionable on the chassis frame such that, with regard to a connection of the receiving devices as well as their alignment and, if appropriate, their manipulation, they do not allow at least one configuration in which the overall center of gravity of the transport device and receiving devices in top view and thus the overall center of gravity line does not lie within the projection area bounded by the wheels or their standing surfaces, and only permit such that the overall center of gravity of the transport device and receiving devices in top view and thus the overall center of gravity line always lies within the projection area bounded by the wheels or their standing surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9371634
    Abstract: A water faucet having a housing and a base plate, whereby the housing has an interior space and an inner collar forming a bottom opening. The bottom opening forms at least two different opening widths and the base plate is made in the manner of a crossbar with such a width that in the cross position it can penetrate through the circular bottom opening only in the area of the larger opening width, and further a seat for the base plate is provided in the interior space adjacent to the larger opening width and parallel to the inner collar. Preferably, a bayonet closure is formed between the housing and the base plate. This allows for a simplified production and mounting.
