  • Patent number: 7188858
    Abstract: A stroller having a novel frame geometry that provides a more direct structural tie between the front and the rear wheels. The two rear legs (bottom members) of the frame are disposed at a relatively small angle to the horizontal and remain close to that shallow angle as the stroller is folded, with all four wheels on the ground. The rear leg assembly is pivotally linked to the front leg assembly, so that the front leg assembly collapses onto the rear leg assembly when the stroller is folded. The front legs and the rear legs preferably have a similar profile so that they generally nest when folded. The front legs and the rear legs preferably have oval or oblong cross-sections, which enhances their vertical load strength.

  • Patent number: 6402225
    Abstract: A canopy windshield of a stroller, which includes a front shelter having a first edge attached to a front edge of a canopy shield supported by a canopy frame of the stroller and a second edge extended away from the first edge to define a shelter portion therebetween for sheltering a front portion of a seat frame of the stroller. A resilient element is mounted on the second edge of the front shelter for applying a tension force on the front shelter so as to retain the front shelter between a folded position and an unfolded position. In the folded position, the resilient element is bent inwardly to force the front shelter overlapped on an interior side of the canopy shield. In the unfolded position, the resilient element is bent outwardly to tensely extend the front shelter frontwardly and downwardly from the front edge of the canopy shield.
