Abstract: A wheel assembly (42) for toy vehicles comprises a wheel (13) rotatably mounted on a pivot (25) having a support (49) for supporting it on a vehicle chassis and an electric power unit (44) connected to the wheel to set it in rotation. The power unit (44) is mounted stationary on the pivot and ends towards the wheel with a motor-driven cup-shaped element (46) which rotates coaxially to the pivot (25) and which is received in a corresponding housing (43) provided on the internal face of the wheel and blocked to prevent it from rotating within it.

Abstract: A pushchair comprises a frame onto which is hinged a reclinable backrest (24). On opposing sides of the reclinable backrest (24) the frame supports arms (20) pivotally rotatable in a vertical plane between a first position and a second position. Each arm (20) comprises a plurality of engaging notches (19) disposed along a path (23) along which slide pins (18) protruding laterally from the backrest (24). In the first position each arm (20) engages with one of the notches (19) the corresponding pin (18) protruding from the backrest, so as to block the movement of the backrest in a pre-established angular position and in the second position disengages the notches (19) of the plurality from the pin (18) to allow free movement of the backrest. Disposed on the backrest is a manual control to engage the arms (20) and move them simultaneously between the first and the second position.

Abstract: A folding highchair including a seat and a supporting frame supporting the seat. The frame includes legs which are movable caliper-fashion between an open position and a closed position. A pedal is disposed close to a lower end of the legs to operate the release of structure for holding the legs in the open position, so as to enable the movement of the legs towards the closed position upon lowering the pedal.

Abstract: A highchair comprises a child's chair and a supporting frame on which the chair is supported. The chair has at least one portion which is reclinable by a manual adjusting device. The adjusting device is movable between a position allowing free adjustment and a locked position in which adjustment is prevented. The manual adjusting device includes an operating element disposed on the backrest of the chair for movement between the locked position and the position of free adjustment. Advantageously, the entire chair forms the reclinable portion.

Abstract: A toy electric car (11) with an accessible compartment (10) which removably houses an accumulator battery, is provided with a battery box (13) having a gripping and removing handle (15). The battery box (13) receives electric accumulators (21, 22) connected towards the outside by a socket (19) on the body of the battery box (13) to supply electric power to the vehicle through a complementary plug (20) connected to the wiring system of the vehicle and insertable in the socket.

Abstract: A mechanical transmission (10) in particular for toy automobiles includes a substantially cylindrical element (19) rotating axially in kinematic connection with the motion output (22) of the transmission. On the cylindrical element (19) there are fitted in a rotating manner toothed gears (17, 18) each of which is in kinematic connection at a different ratio with the motion input of the transmission. Inside the cylindrical element (19) a cursor (24) is axially sliding between the gears (17, 18) for selective sequential radial engagement between the cylindrical element (19) and the gears (17, 18) so as to realize motion transmission with a different ratio between input and output through selection of engagement between the cylindrical element and a gear.

Abstract: An electric gearshift device (10) for an electric car for children has a lever (12) which can be operated manually to give different electrical connections between an electric motor and sets of batteries, so as to achieve different running conditions. In particular, the device (10) comprises a first two-speed electric selector switch (16) and a second electric reversing switch (15). The lever (12) is movable from a first to a second position to control the movement of the first switch (16), in the second position acting on the first switch (16) with elastically yieldable thrust surfaces (24) to enable the lever (12) to pass said second control position and reach a third position in which it actuates the second switch (15).

Abstract: A children's go-cart, or walker, comprises an annular base with wheels. The base is connected to a frame. A safety and support surface comprising a seat is mounted to the frame. The surface also provides, stably restrained thereto, a plurality of objects with which the child can play. The objects can be incorporated in a panel fixed in a removable manner to the surface.

Abstract: A folding pushchair has a chassis provided on each side with two chassis struts (6, 7) carrying wheels (8). The struts are pivotally connected together, and swing out of a folded position, in which they lie side by side, into a position of use, in which they are secured by means of a fastening device (14). This device has to swing upwards to release the struts but a seat, and hence the weight of a child in the pushchair bears down on the device (14), thereby avoiding accidental folding in use. The folding pushchair is designed so that it can be self supporting in a stable upright position when in its folded condition.

Abstract: A folding baby carriage composed of an articulated tubular metal framework comprises a pair of folding sides (10) which are interconnected by means of a folding base frame (12) and by means of a steering handle (13) which is slideable with respect to the sides (10), and a seat (14) cum-backrest (15) structure fixed to a pair of frames (16, 17) articulated one to the other at an intermediate point (18) of the frame (16) which in its forward part is pivoted at (29) to the steering handle (13) and in its rear part at (25) to the sides (10) and to the base frame (12). The frame (17) is connected to the sides (10) by linkwork (30) so that the backrest (15) can be moved between an upright position and a reclined position, provision also being made between the sides (10) and the steering handle (13) for disengageable reciprocal engagement means adapted to determine in a stable manner the erected and folded positions of the baby carriage.

Abstract: A children's motor vehicle comprises a differentiated bearing structure consisting of a single piece moulded out of plastics material, having a generally cradle-like configuration, with a rear box-like portion and a front reticular portion, adapted to house respectively an electrical battery for supplying power to the motor and the motor itself.

Abstract: A speed control for children's vehicles driven by a battery powered electric motor comprises, in combination: a first lever that can be moved between a first position controlling low speed power supply and a second position corresponding to a high speed, and a second lever that can be moved between a first and second position controlling forward and reverse vehicle movement respectively. Between the said two levers provision is made for rigid reciprocal connection means acting unidirectionally between the said first and second levers so as to take the first lever to its first position when the second lever is taken to its second position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a perambulator having a collapsible frame and a hinged pushing handle for pushing the perambulator forwards or backwards. At least four wheels are mounted at lower portions of the frame. For achieving good curve negotiating properties and maneuverability of the perambulator in combination with its versatility, each of the four wheels is designed as a trailing caster mounted for swiveling about an upright axis and adapted to be locked in position by a respective locking member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a perambulator comprising a frame and a push bar assembly pivotally connected to both sides of the frame for pivotal movement between a forward position and a rearward position. In a known perambulator of the type defined above, pivoting of the push bar assembly requires manual operation of a number of catch hooks, thus involving a considerable risk of faulty operation and consequent injury. In contrast thereto, the perambulator according to the invention is provided with two stop members on each side of the frame for limiting the pivoting movement of the push bar assembly, and a manually operable locking member disposed at an intermediate position therebetween for preventing the push bar assembly from being pivoted from one position to the other in its rest position.
