Abstract: A collapsible supporting structure (eg the framework of a stroller) comprises a central mounting body (15) having rotatable disc (41). In the supporting arrangement (depicted) front leg (20) extends from the front surface of disc (41) and rear legs (18-19) extend rearwardly from the rear surface of disc (41). When folding the structure for transportation, rotation of disc (41) by approximately 180 ° brings all three legs (18-20) into an upwardly splayed position. Individual pivoting of legs (18-20) will then bring them into approximate coextension with arms (35-36). Disc (41) in use is locked against rotation, however twisting of a lock on top of body (15) allows pivotal convergence of arms (35-36). The movement of arms (35-36) presses on captive balls that in turn displace radial plungers so they lie within the periphery of disc (41), allowing its rotation.

Abstract: A high chair assembly (10) for an infant includes a frame (12) for resting on a supporting surface and a seat support (14) which is removably mounted on the frame (12). The seat support (14) is adapted to be self-supporting on the supporting surface when selectively removed from the frame (12). The seat support (12) may be in the form of a peripheral frame (40) supporting a seat and backrest comprised of flexible material (16) supported on the frame (40). The peripheral frame (40) may be moveably mounted relative to the frame (12) for movement between two or more positions including an upright and an inclined position. The frame (12) may have a base portion (29) and a leg portion (28) which is pivotally mounted on the base portion (29). This may allow for selective movement between an operative configuration and a folded configuration in which the leg portion (28) lies substantially co-planar with or at least substantially parallel to the base portion (29).

Abstract: A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The A foldable cot (10) includes an upper peripheral frame (16) and first and second supporting leg structures (20). The peripheral frame (16) comprises a first U-shaped frame portion (20) and a second U-shaped frame portion (20) wherein the first U-shaped frame portion and the second U-shaped frame portion each have first and second ends (24, 26). The first ends (24) substantially meet at a first junction (28) and the second ends (26) substantially meet at a second junction (30) to thereby define a substantially closed loop peripheral frame. The first and second U-shaped frames (20) are pivotable relative to the first and second junctions (28, 30) to adjust from an erected configuration to a folded configuration.

Abstract: A wheeled vehicle such as a tricycle able to be folded from an in use position to a carryable storage position by connection of steering rod (31) and front wheel strut (32) to the seat (25) in a manner that allows rotational, pivotal and sliding movement of front steering rod (31). The second storage position has the steering rod (31) and front wheel strut (32) with attached wheel (36) and back rear struts (25, 27) with attached wheels folded underneath the seat in a readily carryable format and minimal volume.

Abstract: A collapsible supporting structure has a mounting body, arms extending upwardly from the mounting body and front and rear wheeled support legs. At least some of the front and rear legs and arms are pivotally mounted to the mounting body to enable pivoting about the mounting body about respective transverse axes between an operative configuration and a collapsed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the front and rear legs and arms extend substantially coextensively. The arms have an extended configuration for use and also a retracted configuration which results in a reduction of the overall length of the arms. In the retracted configuration, the length of the arms approximates that of either of the front or rear legs.
