  • Publication number: 20240085608
    Abstract: Optical films are disclosed that include a plurality of interference layers. Each interference layer reflects or transmits light primarily by optical interference. The total number of the interference layers is less than about 1000. For a substantially normally incident light in a predetermined wavelength range, the plurality of interference layers has an average optical transmittance greater than about 85% for a first polarization state, an average optical reflectance greater than about 80% for an orthogonal second polarization state, and an average optical transmittance less than about 0.2% for the second polarization state.

  • Publication number: 20230331277
    Abstract: A multi child stroller includes a stroller frame and a first seat. The stroller frame has two sections adapted to fold and unfold relative to each other. The first seat is disposed on one of the two sections. The first seat includes a first seat unit and a seat back positioning member. The first seat unit has a sliding slot portion. The seat back positioning member is rotatably disposed on the stroller frame. The seat back positioning member includes a sliding bar adapted to slide inside the sliding slot portion, so as to switch the first seat unit into one of a first unfolding mode, a second unfolding mode and a folding mode.

  • Publication number: 20230320494
    Abstract: An infant seat includes a seat back member including an outer hub, a seat support member including an inner hub, a seat structure connected to the seat back member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The inner hub is pivotably connected to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member for forming a cross bar structure. The slide gear is slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to an unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.

  • Publication number: 20230301440
    Abstract: A foldable bassinet includes an upper bassinet frame, a pair of leg structures opposite to each other, and a bottom board. Each leg structure has an upper tower portion and a lower ledge portion. The upper bassinet frame is disposed through the upper tower portion of each leg structure to make each leg structure pivotable relative to the upper bassinet frame between a supporting position and a folding position. The bottom board is detachably configured between the two lower ledge portions and defines a containing space cooperatively with the upper bassinet frame and the leg structures. When the bottom board is detached from the two lower ledge portions, the leg structures are rotatable from the supporting position to the folding position to be folded inwardly relative to the upper bassinet frame.

  • Publication number: 20230219611
    Abstract: A child stroller system can convert from carrying a single child to carrying two children without removing a first child-carrying apparatus from the stroller and without adding adapters to the stroller. Both child-carrying apparatuses can be repositioned with respect to the stroller's chassis when mounted on the stroller. A self-standing and collapsible auxiliary basket can be mounted on the stroller in place of one of the child-carrying apparatuses.
