    Abstract: A stroller includes a main frame, a pedal, a front wheel frame, and a positioning device. The positioning device includes a lower cover, an upper cover, a rotation knob, and a locking rod. Thus, the front wheel frame is locked to and unlocked from the main frame by moving the drive plate of the rotation knob, so that the positioning device is operated easily and rapidly. In addition, when the positioning device is unlocked, a click sound is produced so as to notify the user that the positioning device is unlocked and the front wheel frame is rotatable relative to the main frame freely, thereby facilitating the user judging the state (locked or unlocked) of the front wheel frame.

  • Patent number: 7090231
    Abstract: An adjustable front fork blade for a stroller includes a sleeve, a base movably mounted in the sleeve, and a connecting tube mounted between the sleeve and the base. Thus, the front fork blade has an adjustable length so that when two front fork blades are mounted on a front wheel, the length of each of the two front fork blades can be adjusted to match each other so as to calibrate and center the position of the front wheel, thereby preventing the front wheel from being oscillated or vibrated due to deflection.

  • Patent number: 7000928
    Abstract: A third wheel collapsing device for a golf club cart includes a third wheel support frame having a U-shaped frame fixed pivotally with a third wheel and a hollow support arm fitted therein with a fit block. The support arm and the fit block respectively have insert holes and connecting holes. A support base assembled on the support arm has a pivotal shaft under the bottom and a threaded hole before the pivotal shaft for receiving an elastic lock member, which has an engage rod biased by a compression coil spring and controlled by a user. The support base has a fastening frame fixed with the lower end of the main frame of a golf club cart. When the engage rod is pulled and removed from the first insert hole of the support arm and the first connecting hole of the fit member, the third wheel support frame can be transversely collapsed.

  • Patent number: 6969078
    Abstract: A third wheel collapsing device for a golf club cart includes a third wheel support unit consisting of a connect base having a fitting member with an upper inclined surface, and a lock block on the upper inclined surface. A spring chamber is continually formed in both the fitting member and the lock block for receiving a spring therein. A control rod is movably fitted in a center hole of both the fitting member and the lock block and through the spring, and has its lower end pivotally connected with an eccentric plate. The eccentric plate is swung up or down to move down or move up the control rod so that the lock block is also moved down to alters its position a little to firmly contact with an inner surface of a main frame of a golf club cart or to separate from the main frame, assembling or disassembling the third wheel support unit with or from the main frame.

  • Patent number: 6958561
    Abstract: A stator winding structure of a motor or a generator includes plural separate different-shaped rod conductors combined to form a collective winding structure to take the place of a conventional winding structure which has a coil wire wound continuously. The different-shaped rod conductors can be designed in shape to match with the sizes of the coil slots to increase a slot occupied rate of the conductors and to prevent the conductors from bent during the coil winding process. The stator winding structure is especially applicable to a motor or a generator with large power and difficult in multi-electrode winding, facilitating winding and enhancing a slot occupied rate of the conductors and also reducing copper loss during output of large current.
