Patent number: 8777253Abstract: A stroller includes a front frame member assembly supporting laterally spaced apart front wheels, a middle frame member assembly supporting laterally spaced apart rear wheels; laterally spaced apart hubs interconnecting the frame member assemblies, and a seat assembly. The hubs each have a mounting structure that comprises a shaft extending from the respective hub. The shafts are axially aligned one with the other, each having two parallel flat sides and two curved sides joining the flat sides. The seat assembly comprises at least one seat frame member, and connector assemblies disposed on opposite sides of the seat frame member. Each connector assembly comprises a mounting surface having a recessed slot defined therein, each slot having a narrow portion disposed between two relatively wider portions. The narrow portion corresponds approximately to the distance between the flat sides.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Clek, IncInventors: Raymond Minato, Yunzhen Larry Zhou

Patent number: 8282120Abstract: A stroller includes laterally spaced apart hubs that interconnect upper, middle and front frame member assemblies of a chassis of the stroller. The hubs are disposed one each along opposite sides of the stroller, and include mounting structures for coupling two or more of the strollers together in a side-by-side fashion. The hubs further include other mounting structures for mounting a seat assembly to the stroller chassis and for supporting both rearward facing and frontward facing orientation of the seat assembly as well as selectable inclination positions. Each of the hubs includes a folding mechanism for supporting folding of the stroller, such as for transport in a vehicle or for storage. Other laterally spaced apart hubs are provided along the upper frame members for providing a second point of attachment between two coupled strollers and for mounting of accessories.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Clek Inc.Inventors: Raymond J.
