  • Patent number: 6893031
    Abstract: A stroller has a body structure adapted to be unfolded into an unfolded state for use, and to be folded into a folded state. A handle is supported on the body structure for forward and backward turning. The handle is set in either a backward-inclined position for a back-faced pushing mode or a forward-inclined position for a front-faced pushing mode. A handle locking mechanism locks the handle in the backward-inclined position for the back-faced pushing mode via a stopping member and a back stopping projection that engages with the stopping member. When the body structure is folded and armrests are turned upwardly from a working position, the stopping projection, which is fixed to the armrest, turns relative to the stopping member and an end part of the stopping projection is located with its major axis extended perpendicularly to an axis of the handle, and with a part thereof lying in a groove.
