Abstract: The stroller includes a frame inclined downward and forward, the frame having left and right side frame members joined by a handle at their upper rear ends. A single front wheel is mounted on an axle at the lower front end of the frame. Left and right swing arms extend downward and rearward from pivotal attachments on the left and right side frame members, respectively. Left and right rear wheels are mounted on axles at the lower ends of the swing arms. There is no rigid connection or horizontal member between the front and rear axles, thereby permitting the stroller to clear higher curbs or carry cargo that extends into the space between the front and rear axles, while also reducing the weight of the stroller. On each side of the stroller a resilient member is detachably connected between the swing arm and a point on the side frame member above and to the rear of the point at which the swing arm is attached.

Abstract: A quick-release skewer that secures the frame of a bicycle to the hub of the rear wheel in the usual manner and that includes provision for pivotally attaching the frame of a trailer to the rear axle of the bicycle. Both the nut and the cam housing of the quick-release skewer include integral posts that extend axially outward from the center of the rear wheel of the bicycle. A sleeve is mounted for rotation on each of the posts, and a trailer fork member is retained on each of the sleeves. In a preferred embodiment the sleeves are bobbin-shaped and low-friction bushings are interposed between the sleeves and the posts.
