Patent number: 9039032Abstract: A stroller has a first frame part and a second frame part capable of movement between at least two positions relative to the first frame part. A push-pull mechanism has a push-pull element that directly or indirectly connects the first and second frame parts. Moving the first frame part causes the push-pull mechanism to move the second frame part. The mechanism can be employed on the stroller frame to assist in folding and/or unfolding the stroller.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Derek Saville, Greg Cerny, Kyle A.

Patent number: 8128119Abstract: A stroller includes a frame having a frame leg and a frame joint at which the frame leg is coupled to the frame. The frame joint is configured to allow retraction of the frame leg to a folded position. A handle is attached to the frame at a pivot joint, the pivot joint being configured for rotation of the handle between first and second operational orientations. The pivot joint is further configured for rotation of the handle from the first or second operational orientations to a storage position aligned with the folded position of the frame leg. In some cases, a front frame leg and a rear frame leg are coupled to the frame joint, the frame joint being configured to allow the front frame leg and the rear frame leg to retract to respective folded positions in which the stroller is supported in an upright orientation.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Derek Saville, Daniel Newhard, Nico Michler, Christian Busse, Bianca Fleischer

Patent number: 8029014Abstract: A stroller includes a frame assembly, a seat supported by the frame assembly, and first and second adjustable seat supports engaged with the frame assembly to support the seat in a position relative to the frame assembly. A link couples the first and second seat supports such that a movement of the first seat support is mirrored in a corresponding movement of the second seat support to adjust the position of the seat.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Stephen Ahnert, Daniel Newhard, Derek Saville, John (Jason) C.

Patent number: 7789402Abstract: A stroller includes a base frame assembly and a seat assembly supported by the base frame assembly. A seat leg extending from the seat assembly is slidably engaged with the base frame assembly for movement of the seat assembly relative to the base frame assembly from a first seating height level to a second seating height level. In some cases, a support post of the base frame assembly is oriented in a telescopic arrangement with the seat leg along a generally vertical axis. In some cases, one or more slider mechanisms slidably couple the seat assembly to the base frame assembly, where each slider mechanism has a lock to secure the seat assembly at either the first seating height level or the second seating height level.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Derek Saville, Daniel Newhard, Nico Michler, Christian Busse, Bianca Fleischer

Patent number: 7694996Abstract: A stroller is provided having a stroller frame supporting a stroller seat. The stroller frame includes a linkage that facilitates collapsing or folding of the stroller frame from an in-use configuration to a folded or collapsed configuration, and unfolding of the stroller frame from the folded or collapsed configuration to the in-use configuration. The linkage also facilitates adjustment of the stroller seat height between at least two vertically offset positions.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2007Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Derek Saville, Daniel N.
