Publication number: 20220009387Abstract: A handle angle adjustment mechanism included a basket, a handle and an adjusting component. The basket includes a plurality of first locking portions. The handle is pivoted to the basket. The adjusting component is disposed between the basket and the handle and slidably on the handle. The adjusting component includes a first engaging portion for engaging with one of the plurality of first locking portions so as to lock the handle with the basket, and the adjusting component can slide to drive the first engaging portion to disengage from the one of the plurality of first locking portions so as to allow the handle to rotate relative to the basket for adjusting an angle of the handle relative to the basket. Therefore, it can prevent the handle from hindering a user from placing a baby on the basket, which facilitates the placement of the baby by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Applicant: China Wonderland Nurserygoods Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kyle S.
