  • Patent number: 7438358
    Abstract: This infant chair comprises an independent seat (4) being related to a headrest (5) being fit to be positioned at different heights, the seat thus adopting different in-depth positions, the lifting of the headrest to a higher position bringing about a bigger depth for the seat's position. The seat is formed by an assembly of two plates (6 and 7) being transversally linked to each other in a pin-jointed connection, said assembly being linked in a pin-jointed connection to a lower support (9) being in its turn linked in a pin-jointed connection to a third plate (11), this latter being the one that is related to the headrest (5).

  • Publication number: 20080231021
    Abstract: A pushchair when folded has its sides brought closer together and the rear wheels spaced away with respect to the front wheels. The support of the rear wheels has a pin-jointed connection allowing folding with respect to the corresponding leg. Each of the supports of the rear wheels has a second pin-jointed connection below its pin-jointed connection linking it to the corresponding leg, allowing increasing the degree of folding of the support when folding the pushchair. The supports of the rear wheels form two lengths linked to each other in a pin-jointed connection and are articulately linked to component members of the chassis of the pushchair that when folding, pull the two lengths of said supports to bring about the folding of the rear wheels.

  • Publication number: 20070262291
    Abstract: This device acts on each of two ropes in a mutually opposite sense. For each rope the device includes a pivotably mounted arm, and the two arms are arranged in a converging arrangement and thus converge towards their free ends and are adapted to be simultaneously actuated by a pushbutton operable for pressing them at their free ends. The pushbutton includes a spring arranged to bias the pushbutton away from the arms and each of the ropes is secured to the free end of a respective one of the arms, these latter being pivotably mounted to a tubular body with the ropes extending through its inside. A cowling is arranged on the tubular body and has an opening in which the pushbutton is guided during its actuation.
