Abstract

Description
PLATFORM ATTACHMENT FOR A STROLLER
This invention relates to the field of stroller attachments, particularly a platform attachment for wheeled stroller units.
Conventional strollers are designed to carry and transport one infant. While double strollers are known, they are'expensive and often cumbersome. They do not address the problem of occasionally carrying an infant along with an older child who is beyond the stroller stage, but still young enough to require close attention or assistance when travelling.
The present invention is therefore concerned with an attachment for a conventional wheeled stroller that addresses this concern.
According to the present invention there is provided a platform device for a child stroller, said stroller having a front end and a rear end, a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, a frame carrying a seat on the wheels and having a handle at the rear end thereof, said platform device comprising a platform, means for mounting the platform on the frame rearwardly of the seat and forwardly of the handle and support means for supporting a rear portion of the platform.
In the drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of the invention:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a child's stroller with 20~3896 one embodiment of the invention fastened thereto.
Figure 2 is a side view of the stroller and attachment.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
Referring to the drawings, a conventional stroller is shown generally at 10. The stroller has a single seat 12, supported on a frame 13. The frame as a main frame component 14 with two elongate sides 16 that extend from a transverse handle 18 at the rear of the stroller down across opposite sides of the seat 12 to the bottom, front of the stroller where they are joined by a cross member 20. At the front of the stroller, the frame component 14 carries two wheels 22.
Two additional side members 24 of the frame extend from a position above the seat down to the rear where the carry rear wheels 26. The members 24 are connected to the sides 16 of component 14 by pivots 28. The rear wheels 26 are mounted on a common, transverse axle 30.
A further frame member 32 in the form of a horizontal, U-shaped hoop is connected to the top ends of the side members 24 and to the side members 16 midway along their length.
This type of stroller is generally constructed with a disengageable or collapsible frame component allowing the stroller to fold for storage purposes. In that the stroller construction is conventional, it will not be described in further detail.
Attached to the stroller is an attachment 34 according to the present invention. This attachment includes a platform 36 mounted on the axle 30 by staples 38. The platform extends from below the rear of the seat 12 rearwardly to a position just ahead of the handle 18. To support the platform at the rear, so that neither the platform nor the stroller as a whole will tip backwardly, there is a castor wheel 40 mounted on the platform, towards the back.
The platform attachment on the stroller provides a space for a second child to stand, behind the seat 12 and ahead of the handle 18. The standing child may grip the back of the seat or the frame of the stroller for support.
While one embodiment of the platform attachment has been described in the foregoing and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that other embodiments are possible within the scope of the invention.
The precise nature of the attachment and the manner in which it is mounted on the stroller will vary according to the structural details of the stroller itself. It will be appreciated that the castor wheels may be replaced with other support means for supporting the platform against tipping rearwardly. Where desired, additional castors may be installed for stability purposes.
