  • Patent number: 8678404
    Abstract: A stroller chassis includes a frame and a wheel that are connected to each other by a hinge defining a pivoting axis extending perpendicularly to the wheel's axis. The chassis can also include a bearing for guiding the frame and the wheel in free rotation about the axis. The chassis can include two plates, each including an annular body substantially centered with respect to the pivoting axis and arranged externally around the bearing. The two annular bodies are connected rotatably about the pivoting axis to the frame and the wheel and define substantially planar surfaces on the plate surfaces, the planar surfaces being mutually adjoining along a plane that is transverse to the pivoting axis. The plates cooperate with one another through sliding and frictional contact. The Chassis can also include resilient member for pressing the annular bodies against each other to maintain contact between the planar surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20130069329
    Abstract: This stroller chassis comprises a frame (10) and at least one wheel (20) resting on the ground, which are connected to each other by a mechanical hinge assembly (40) defining a pivoting axis (Z40-Z40), which extends perpendicularly to the wheel rolling axis on the ground (Y20-Y20) and about which pivoting axis the frame and the wheel pivot with respect to each other, and also comprising at least one bearing (42) for guiding the frame and the wheel in free rotation about said axis with respect to each other.

  • Patent number: 8342562
    Abstract: A frame for a child's stroller which includes two rear arms and a single front arm which are joined to one another with the two rear arms spaced on opposite sides of a front to rear median vertical plane (P) of the frame and wherein wheels are pivotally mounted to each of the arms so as to be movable between first deployed positions wherein an axes of rotation of the wheels extend transversely to the plane (P) and a second compact storage position wherein the axes of rotation of the wheels extend parallel with respect to the plane (P), and wherein the wheels connected so as to be moved simultaneously between the two positions.

  • Patent number: 8251381
    Abstract: A child's carriage including a frame that supports a seat for a child and from which a rear bar extends for pushing the carriage and from which a front rod extends to a fork to which a front wheel is mounted. A swivel is mounted between the front rod and the fork which swivel is covered by a housing for at least one light source and wherein the light source is controlled by a switch on the rear bar.

  • Publication number: 20110006495
    Abstract: The invention relates to a so-called three-wheel stroller frame (2) in which the front wheel (20) and the two rear wheels (22D, 22G) are respectively and simultaneously movable relative to a front arm (12) and to two rear arms (14D, 14G) rigidly connected to each other, between an extended service position, in which the rotation axes (Y20-Y20, Y22D-Y22D, Y22G-Y22G) of the wheels extend perpendicularly to a same antero-posterior plane (P) of the frame, and a stowed storage position in which said rotation axes extend in parallel to said plane, the antero-posterior distance (?) between the rear wheels and the front wheel being then smaller than when the wheels are in the expanded position. In order to move the wheels in a quick, simple and easy manner, the stroller frame also includes a specific handle (60) for manually driving a wheel movement means arranged at the front end of the front arm.

  • Patent number: 7857330
    Abstract: This children's carriage (1) comprises a frame (10) that supports a seat or the like for the child, equipped with a rear bar for pushing the carriage. The frame is equipped, at the front with a warning light controlled by means of a control switch provided on the push bar in order to limit the risks of collisions between the children's carriage and vehicles traveling in proximity thereto such as automobiles. In order to confer a good-looking aesthetic appearance to children's carriage, particularly at the warning light, the frame is equipped with a front wheel (18), which is supported on the ground and joined to the frame by a fork (22?) that is articulated with regard to the frame, an external housing (26) of the light (24) forming, at least in part, a decorative element in the area of the articulation of the fork with regard to the frame.
