Patent number: 6503018Abstract: A handlebar joint, comprises a disc seat, a rotating disc and a clutch disposed between both of them and having flexible element that passes through a handlebar. In a normal coupling position, the two end of the clutch is coupled to the disc seat and the rotating disc so as to keep the handlebar relatively unmoved; and in the releasing position, the clutch does not couple with the disc seat, therefore, the handlebar can be bent. Also, in the coupling position, when the movements of the flexible element are executed, the clutch can be rotated to drive the deflectable element, so the movements cannot be influenced when the handlebar is bent.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Link Treasure LimitedInventors: Jen-En Hou, Hung-Chung Hou

Patent number: 6416124Abstract: A highchair has a horizontally adjustable tray. It includes: (a) a pair of supports on opposed sides of the highchair each having a plurality of studs on an inside surface thereof; (b) a tray movably coupled between the supports including two underlying engagement members, each of the apertures having an elastic projection projected above the aperture; and (c) an actuator slidably attached to an undersurface of the tray including two vertical members each having a plurality of wedge members corresponding in position to the apertures of the engagement member and one or more elastic elements each having one end biased against the undersurface of the tray and the other end biased against the actuator. The projected elastic projections are structured to restrict the movements of the wedge members so as to effect the locking of the actuator to the tray, and the wedge members are structured to be able to move pass the retracted elastic projections to effect a disengagement of the actuator from the tray.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Link Treasure LimitedInventors: Er-Jui Chen, Hung-Chung Hou, Hsiu-Chiang Liang

Patent number: 6416076Abstract: A collapsible stroller is movable between a collapsed position for storage and an operating position for transporting the passenger. The frame of the stroller comprises armrests, front leg tubes, rear leg tubes, and handles. In comparison with prior art there is no additional linkage provided by the invention. Also, latch as well as associated linkages and hinges are eliminated. In addition, the collapsing force is suitably transmitted to each component of the frame. Moreover, the handle is remained on top of the frame after collapsed, thus facilitating the future unfolding operation of the stroller.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Link Treasure LimitedInventors: Hung-Chung Hou, Er-Jui Chen
