Publication number: 20070024029Abstract: An adjustable handle assembly is configured for a device that supports and carries a child and that can be moved along a surface. The handle assembly is coupled to a handle extension that extends from a part of the device and that has an end with an extension axis. The handle assembly has a stem configured to attach to the end of the handle extension. The handle assembly also has a grip body coupled to the stem. The grip body is independently movable relative to the handle extension both longitudinally along the extension axis and rotationally about the extension axis. An actuator is provided on the handle assembly and can be actuated between a lock position and a release position. In the lock position, the grip body is in affixed position relative to the handle extension. In the release position, the grip body is permitted to move both longitudinally and rotationally relative to the extension axis between a plurality of selectable longitudinal and rotational positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2006Publication date: February 1, 2007Applicant: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Michael Dotsey, Todd Sorzano, Roy Dean

Publication number: 20060255566Abstract: A stroller has a frame structure with two laterally spaced apart sides. A seat is supported between the sides of the frame structure. A frame extension is provided on each side of the frame structure. Each frame extension projects rearward of the seat. The frame structure is at least collapsible laterally from a side-to-side in-use spacing between the frame extensions to a side-to-side compact spacing less than the in-use spacing between the frame extensions. A cross-brace extends between and interconnects the frame extensions. The cross-brace is selectively reconfigurable from a stiff condition to a loose condition with the frame extensions in the in-use spacing. In the stiff condition the brace maintains the in-use spacing between the frame extensions and in the loose condition the brace permits the frame extensions to collapse to the compact spacing. A cup holder can be carried on the cross-brace to be collapsible with the frame structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Michael Dotsey, Todd Sorzano, Roy Dean

Publication number: 20060255567Abstract: A stroller has a frame structure with spaced apart sides and is collapsible from an in-use arrangement to a compact collapsed arrangement. The stroller has a seat supported by the frame structure and has a tray assembly with a front. The tray assembly is supported between the sides of the frame structure and is spaced from the seat when the frame structure is in the in-use arrangement. A foot is provided as part of the tray assembly. The foot is in an extended position projecting outward relative to the front of the tray assembly when the frame structure is in the collapsed arrangement. The foot is in a stored position when the frame structure is in the in-use arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Michael Dotsey, Todd Sorzano, Roy Dean

Publication number: 20060214397Abstract: A stroller has a collapsible frame structure with a pair of laterally spaced apart rear legs each with a lower end. The frame structure is collapsible in vertical, horizontal, and side-to-side lateral directions from an in-use arrangement to a compact arrangement. The stroller has a seat supported by the frame structure and the seat has a seat bottom. A storage area is beneath the seat bottom when the stroller is in the in-use arrangement. An access opening into the storage area when the stroller is in the in-use arrangement is bounded by the seat bottom, the rear legs, and a lower boundary. A frame cross-brace is connected to the rear legs when the stroller is in the in-use arrangement. The entire cross-brace is positionable vertically at or below the lower boundary of the access opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Applicant: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Michael Dotsey, Todd Sorzano, Roy Dean
