  • Publication number: 20170065098
    Abstract: An infant carrier includes a carrying handle having a coupling shell pivotally connected with a coupling portion of a seat body, and a latch assembled in the coupling shell. The carrying handle is adjustable to multiple angular positions, which include a carry position for facilitating transport of the infant carrier with the carrying handle, and a recline position inclined relative to the carry position. The latch can engage with the coupling portion for locking the carrying handle in position, or disengage from the coupling portion for allowing rotation of the carrying handle. A safety mechanism is disposed in an inner cavity defined at least partially by the coupling shell and the coupling portion, and can interact with the latch for forcing the carrying handle to stop in an intermediate safety position during adjustment of the carrying handle from the carry position toward the recline position.

  • Patent number: 9540028
    Abstract: An infant stroller apparatus includes a first and a second leg segment, a handle segment and a backrest frame. The first and second leg segments are respectively affixed with a first and a second coupling member that are connected with each other. The handle segment is affixed with a third coupling member that is connected with the first coupling member. The backrest frame is connected with the second leg segment. A latch assembled with the second coupling member is movable to engage with the third coupling member to lock the handle segment and the first and second leg segments in an unfolded state. A release actuator operatively connected with the latch is pivotally connected with the second leg segment adjacent to the pivot axis of the backrest frame. The release actuator is rotatable to cause the latch to disengage from the third coupling member for allowing folding of the infant stroller apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20160368400
    Abstract: A child restraint with recline includes a base, a seat slidably disposed thereon, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is disposed in the base and the seat correspondingly and includes a pawl, two actuators, and a plurality of holes . The pawl is biased to protrude out to be selectively inserted into one of the plurality of holes. Each actuator includes a manipulation portion and a connecting portion kinematically connecting the manipulation portion and the pawl. The manipulation portions are exposed at the front side and rear sides of the child restraint respectively. The manipulation portion of each actuator is operable to independently drive the pawl through the connecting portion to disengage from the hole which the pawl is engaged with. The recline angle of the seat relative to the base can be adjusted by manipulating the manipulation portions from the front side or rear side of the child restraint.

  • Publication number: 20160347210
    Abstract: A support base for a child safety seat includes a shell body configured to support a child seat, and a belt restraining frame pivotally connected with the shell body. The belt restraining frame includes a transversal portion, two side portions, and a middle portion located between the two side portions, the two side portions and the middle portion being fixedly connected with the transversal portion and having respective ends pivotally connected with the shell body. The belt restraining frame is rotatable relative to the shell body between a release position where the middle portion rises away from the upper surface of the shell body, and a clamping position where the middle portion is adjacent to the upper surface for pressing against an anchoring belt that is routed transversally across the shell body.

  • Patent number: 9428207
    Abstract: A cup holder module is detachably mounted on a mount of a stroller and includes a cup holder, a mounting arm formed from the cup holder, and a first mounting latch. The mount has an engaging groove. The first mounting latch is disposed on the mounting arm and has a first button movably disposed on the mounting arm, a clamping base connected to the first button and disposed in the mounting arm, and an elastic member. The elastic member is disposed on the clamping base for biasing the clamping base to clamp the mount cooperatively with the mounting arm when the mounting arm is mounted on the mount and the first button is engaged with the engaging groove. When the first button is pressed to move the clamping base to an unlatched position, the clamping base is separate from the mount to make the mounting arm detachable from the mount.

  • Patent number: 9327619
    Abstract: A child safety seat includes a seat body, a reclining foot, and a force-generating member. The reclining foot is connected to a lower portion of the seat body such that the reclining foot is capable of rotating and sliding relative to the seat body to be selectively located at a first position or a second position relative to the seat body. The force-generating member is connected to the seat body and the reclining foot for applying a force to the reclining foot for urging the reclining foot to move toward the first position. When at the first position, the reclining foot can be rotated relative to the seat body and slid relative to the seat body in a distance to be blocked by a blocking structure at the lower portion from rotating reversely under the force so as to be located at the second position.
