  • Patent number: 9010773
    Abstract: A frame for a baby carriage includes two side supporting members, a handling member, a traverse connecting member and a central supporting member. The handling member has opposite ends connected to the two side supporting members, respectively. The traverse connecting member has opposite ends connected to the two side supporting members, respectively and spaced apart from the handling member. The central supporting member is arranged between the two side supporting members so as to form two side-by-side seat areas and terminating at the traverse connecting member so as to form a T-shaped structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8955868
    Abstract: An infant stroller apparatus includes a rear leg frame including a first side segment, a handle having a second side segment, and a hinge structure assembled with the first and second side segments. The hinge structure includes a first and a second coupling part, and a latch. The first coupling part is pivotally connected with the first side segment. The second coupling part is affixed with the second side segment and is pivotally connected with the first coupling part. The latch is operable to lock the first coupling part with the second coupling part to block rotation of the second coupling part relative to the first coupling part about the second pivot axis. When the stroller apparatus is in a deployed state, a distal end of the second coupling part faces a rear surface of the first side segment, and the latch engages with the first coupling part at a location above the distal end.

  • Patent number: 8919807
    Abstract: An infant stroller apparatus includes a rear leg frame including a first side segment, a handle having a second side segment formed by at least a first and a second tubular member telescopically assembled with each other, an impeding part assembled with the second side segment and operable to create an interference that blocks retraction of the second tubular member into the first tubular member, and an armrest pivotally connected with the second side segment and provided with an actuating member disposed adjacent to the impeding part. A rotation of the armrest in a direction for collapsing the infant stroller apparatus can cause a displacement of the actuating member, which drives the impeding part in movement to remove the interference and allow retraction of the second tubular member into the first tubular member.
