  • Patent number: 5028061
    Abstract: A frame, suitable for a child's buggy, is provided for removably supporting a seat for a child in a plurality of angular positions, comprising a manually operable lateral mechanism which is adapted to support the seat whereby the seat is fixedly mountable in and releasable from the frame, the mechanism also providing adjustment of the seat to a desired fixed angular position in relation to the frame. The manually operable mechanism comprises a rotatable knob which allows a wedge or dove-tailed part thereof to be withdrawn from engagement with another part so that it can be rotated to a different angular position before being drawn back into engagement, when it is locked in position. To release the seat entirely, the knob is a rotated to a further position to withdraw a cooperating locking device so that the seat can be lifted from the dove-tailed part.
