  • Patent number: 6318750
    Abstract: A shock absorbing device is adapted for damping impact transmitted from a front wheel of a stroller. The device includes left and right lever members, left and right front leg members, a pair of coupling members, and a pair of biasing members. Each lever member has an anchoring end adapted to be secured to one end of a front wheel axle, and is pivotally mounted on the coupling member. Each front leg member has one end connected to a seat frame of the stroller, and the other end retained in the corresponding coupling member. The biasing members are disposed to bias engaged ends of the front leg members to move towards or away from intermediate portions of the lever members when tensioned or compressed.

  • Patent number: 6308805
    Abstract: A stroller with a brake device which has a mounting seat mounted between two upright rear rods of the stroller. An operating member has a slidable mounting portion mounted slidably on the mounting seat, an operating portion, and a downward extension which is connected to a transverse linking member that has two opposite ends connected to two brake members. The brake members are pivoted to the rear rods about a horizontal pivot axis. The operating member is operable for turning rearward to cause the slidable mounting portion and the transverse linking member to move rearward relative to the mounting seat so as to enable the brake members to pivot in a direction for moving to a braking position, where the brake members engage two rear wheels of the stroller to stop rotation of the same.

  • Patent number: 6302613
    Abstract: A pivot connector for a stroller frame includes a mounting seat formed with elongated slots, a pivot plate disposed in and pivoted to the mounting seat, an operating member straddling over the mounting seat, a locking pin mounted on the operating member and extending through the elongated slots, and a biasing spring for biasing the operating member away from the mounting seat. The pivot plate is formed with a locking groove that can be registered selectively with the elongated slots when the pivot plate is pivoted. The locking pin is movable to rear slot portions of the elongated slots when the operating member is moved toward the mounting seat, wherein the locking pin is extendible into and out of the locking groove.

  • Patent number: 6007400
    Abstract: A toy chair includes a seat member having a horizontal seat portion and a vertical backrest portion that extends upwardly from the rear edge of the seat portion. A pair of extension members extend respectively from left and right lateral sides of the seat member. Left and right connecting members are mounted respectively on the extension members of the seat member. Each of the connecting members is formed with at least two positioning recesses that are aligned in a longitudinal direction thereof. Left and right height adjustment mechanisms are mounted respectively on the connecting members so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction. Each of the height adjustment mechanisms is provided with a retainer that is operable to engage removably a selected one of the positioning recesses in the respective one of the left and right connecting members. Front and rear leg units have upper portions connected to the height adjustment mechanisms, and lower portions to be placed on a ground surface.
