Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the same or corresponding portions in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

(Outline of baby carriage)

With reference to fig. 1 to 6, an outline of the stroller 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 and 2 (a) and 3 show a state in which the pressing bar is set at the opposite pressing position. Fig. 2 (b) shows a state in which the pressing bar is set at the back pressing position. In order to make the present application easier to understand, the body frame of the back-to-front switching stroller is mainly shown in the drawings, and illustration of the child seat and the like is omitted. In particular, in fig. 1 to 6, only the awning ribs are shown, and illustrations of the awning cloth and the auxiliary awning ribs are omitted. In the following description, the front-rear direction corresponds to the front-rear direction of the stroller, and the left-right direction corresponds to the left-right direction viewed from the front of the stroller.

The stroller 1 of the present embodiment includes: a pair of front feet 11, a pair of rear feet 13, an armrest 15, an armrest support member 17, a seat support member 18, and a backrest support member 19 as the vehicle body frame 10. The body frames 10 other than the seat support member 18 and the backrest support member 19 are provided in a pair in the width direction (vehicle width direction) so as to be spaced apart from each other.

A front wheel 12 is provided at the lower end of each front leg 11 extending in the up-down direction. Rear wheels 14 are provided at the lower ends of the rear legs 13 extending in the vertical direction rearward of the front legs 11. The lower ends of the pair of front legs 11 are connected by a front leg connecting member 21 extending in the width direction. The forefoot coupling member 21 also functions as a foot rest for the child. The lower ends of the pair of rear legs 13 are connected by a rear leg joint member 22 extending in the width direction.

As shown in fig. 2 (b), in particular, the upper end of the front leg 11 is rotatably connected to the front end portion of the armrest 15 extending in the front-rear direction of the stroller 1. The upper end of the rear leg 13 is rotatably coupled to the front end region of the armrest 15 at a position further rearward than the upper end of the front leg 11. The width direction thickness of the front leg 11 is substantially equal to the width direction thickness of the rear leg 13. Therefore, as shown in fig. 3, when the vehicle body frame 10 is viewed from the front-rear direction, the front foot 11 and the rear foot 13 are aligned so as to be aligned at the same position in the width direction and visually overlap.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), in particular, the rear end portion of the armrest 15 is rotatably connected to the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17 extending in the up-down direction via a rotation shaft 33. Specifically, the rear end portion of the armrest 15 and the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17 are also coupled to the awning 30 via the rotation shaft 33. The width direction thickness of the armrest 15 and the width direction thickness of the armrest supporting member 17 are also substantially uniform. Therefore, as shown in fig. 3, when the vehicle body frame 10 is viewed from the front-rear direction, the front foot 11, the rear foot 13, the armrest 15, and the armrest support member 17 are aligned uniformly and visually overlap in the up-down direction.

As shown in fig. 2 (a), in particular, a seat support member 18 is disposed below the armrest 15. The front end portions of the seat support members 18 are connected to the central portions of the pair of front legs 11. The rear end of the seat support member 18 is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the push rod 20, the upper end of the reversing bracket 23, and the lower end of the armrest support member 17 via a swinging shaft 24. As shown in fig. 3, the rear end portion of the seat support member 18 and the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 (which is not visually confirmed to overlap with the upper portions of the armrest 15 and the forefoot 11) are connected via a connecting portion 17 a. The connecting portion 17a may be a member having a thickness extending in the width direction, and the seat support member 18 and the armrest support member 17 may be other members, or may be a part of the seat support member 18 or the armrest support member 17.

The rear end portion of the seat support member 18 is rotatably coupled to the lower end portion of the backrest support member 19 at a position different from the swing shaft 24. The seat support member 18 supports the seat portion of the infant from below, and the backrest support member 19 supports the backrest portion of the infant from below. Though not shown, a hammock is hung on the seat support member 18 and the backrest support member 19, and a cushion pad is attached to the hammock. Accordingly, the seat support member 18 has a seat surface for forming a seat portion, and the seat support member 18 supports the seat surface from below.

The pressing bar 20 is provided swingably in the front-rear direction with respect to the vehicle body frame 10, and is switchable between a facing pressing position (fig. 1, 2 (a), 3) and a rear pressing position (fig. 2 (b)). Specifically, the swing shaft 24 is disposed at a position adjacent to the rear foot 13.

The armrest support member 17 is a member extending upward and downward. The upper end portion of the armrest support member 17 is rotatably coupled to the rear end portion of the armrest 15. The lower end of the armrest support member 17 is rotatably coupled to the lower end of the push rod 20, the upper end of the reversing bracket 23, and the rear end of the seat support member 18 via a pivot shaft 24.

The lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 is provided so as to be switchable between a locked position with respect to the rear leg 13 and an unlocked position. The armrest support member 17 is in the travel state shown in fig. 1 at the position where the rear leg 13 is locked, and the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 is in contact with the central portion of the rear leg 13. The position where the lock of the armrest support member 17 to the rear leg 13 is released is the folded state shown in fig. 4, and the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 is in contact with the lower end portion of the rear leg 13. Specifically, a lock portion (not shown) that can be locked to the rear leg 13 is provided at the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17, and the lock between the rear leg 13 and the armrest support member 17 is released by releasing the lock of the lock portion. With this configuration, the stroller 1 can be folded. Further, a locking portion that can be locked to the rear leg 13 may be provided at the upper end of the reversing bracket 23.

(With respect to the front guard)

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the front guard 16 is provided in front of the seat portion and extends across the seat portion in the width direction. The front guard 16 is provided at both widthwise end portions thereof at positions distant from the armrest 15 to the inside. As shown in fig. 3 in particular, both widthwise end portions of the front guard 16 are provided at positions distant from the armrest 15 by the space region S. The space region S is a region extending in the vertical direction between the pair of armrests 15 and both ends of the front hood 16, and is particularly a region above the seat support member 18. The space region S is a region where the inner awning rib 31 is disposed when the inner awning rib 31 described later is rotated forward. That is, the widthwise dimension of the space region S is at least the widthwise dimension of the inner awning rib 31.

As described above, both widthwise ends of the front fender 16 are connected to the rear end of the seat support member 18 via the connecting portion 17a, and both widthwise ends are connected. Accordingly, the width direction dimension of the space region S matches the width direction dimension of the connecting portion 17a connecting the lower end portion of the armrest supporting member 17 and the rear end portion of the seat supporting member 18. That is, both widthwise end portions of the front guard 16 are located at positions separated from the armrest 15 by the widthwise dimension of the coupling portion 17 a. The front fender 16 is described as being coupled to the rear end portion of the seat support member 18, but may be coupled to the vehicle body frame 10, for example, the front end portion of the seat support member 8, the rear foot 13, the armrest support member 17, or the like.

(Regarding the folding structure)

Next, a folding structure of the stroller 1 will be described. As described above, the rear end portion of the seat support member 18, the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17, the lower end portion of the push rod 20, and the upper end portion of the reversing bracket 23 are coupled to each other via the swing shaft 24. The lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 is provided so as to be switchable between a position where the rear leg 13 is locked and a position where the locking is released.

To change from the unfolded state (back pressing position) shown in fig. 1 to the folded state shown in fig. 4, the lock between the lock portion of the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 and the rear leg 13 is released, the reversing bracket 23 is reversed upward and downward, and the lower end portion of the pressing rod 20 that is in contact with the upper side of the rear leg 13 is in contact with the lower side of the rear leg 13. In this folded state, as shown in fig. 4, the intervals in the front-rear direction of the front leg 11 and the rear leg 13 are close to each other, and the front guard 16 stands upward along the pressing bar 20. Accordingly, the front guard 16 standing upward can be used as a carrying grip.

In addition, when an existing stroller in which a front guard is provided at a front end portion of an armrest is folded, the front guard stands above the armrest, and thus the front guard becomes an obstacle. In the present embodiment, the front guard 16 is located further below the armrest 15 in the folded state, and therefore the front guard 16 does not become an obstacle.

In order to change from the folded state shown in fig. 4 to the unfolded state (back surface pushing position) shown in fig. 1, the reversing bracket 23 is reversed upward and downward, and the lower end portion of the pushing rod 20 that is in contact with the lower side of the rear leg 13 is in contact with the upper side of the rear leg 13. In this state, the locking portion of the lower end portion of the armrest supporting member 17 and the rear leg 13 are locked. In this way, the shape of the vehicle body frame 10 changes from the unfolded state (back-side pressing position) shown in fig. 1 to the folded state shown in fig. 4, or from the folded state shown in fig. 4 to the unfolded state (back-side pressing position) shown in fig. 1.

(For awning)

The awning 30 covers an upper region of the seat portion. The awning 30 includes an inner awning frame 31, an outer awning frame 32, an awning cloth 34, and auxiliary awning frames 35, 36, 37. In fig. 1 to 6, the awning cloth 34 and the auxiliary awning ribs 35, 36, 37 are not shown. First, the inner awning frame 31 and the outer awning frame 32 will be described.

The inner awning rib 31 and the outer awning rib 32 are connected at their lower end portions to the rotation shaft 33 so that the angles of the inner awning rib and the outer awning rib are variable. The lower end portion of the inner awning frame 31 and the lower end portion of the outer awning frame 32 are rotatably connected by a ratchet mechanism, and can be fixed at an arbitrary angle. Fig. 7 (a) is a view showing a state where the awning 30 is fully opened, fig. 7 (b) is a view showing a state where a part of the awning bone is folded, and fig. 7 (c) is a view showing a state where the awning bone is further folded. The inner awning ribs 31 and the outer awning ribs 32 are rotatably mounted in the front-rear direction, respectively. The inner awning rib 31 is located on the inner side in the width direction than the pair of armrests 15, and is a front awning rib located in front of the seat portion. The outer awning rib 32 is located closer to the outer side in the width direction than the pair of armrests 15, and is a rear awning rib located rearward of the seat portion. Therefore, in the following description, the inner awning bone 31 is referred to as a front Fang Zheyang awning bone, and the outer awning bone 32 is referred to as a rear Fang Zheyang awning bone.

The front awning rib 31 and the rear awning rib 32 have a curved shape extending rearward from the rotation shaft 33 and then standing upward. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the front awning rib 31 and the rear awning rib 32 have: support parts 31a, 32a attached to the rotation shaft 33; and main body portions 31b and 32b connected to the support portions 31a and 32 a.

The support portions 31a, 32a have an inverted L-shape in side view, and have a first portion near the rotation shaft 33 and a2 nd portion extending from the first portion. The angle formed by the first portion and the 2 nd portion is approximately 90 degrees. Accordingly, the overall length of the awning frame can be made longer than that of an existing awning frame having a straight shape, and a wide area can be covered. In addition, the fingers of the infant can be prevented from being clamped.

Openings are provided at the upper ends of the support portions 31a, 32a, and the ends of the body portions 31b, 32b are inserted into the openings. In particular, as shown in fig. 6, the portions of the support portions 31a and 32a where the openings are provided are formed in a convex shape, but may be both convex outward in the width direction. The body portions 31b, 32b are formed of, for example, synthetic resin or the like, and have a certain degree of flexibility. The body portions 31b, 32b are long and formed in an inverted U shape. As shown in fig. 9 (a) and 9 (b), the main body portions 31b, 32b of the front and rear Fang Zheyang bones 31, 32 have, for example, a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape.

As shown in fig. 3, the front awning rib 31 is provided so as to be located in a space region S between the pair of armrests 15 and both end portions of the front hood 16. The rear awning rib 32 is provided so as to be located outside the pair of armrests 15 in the width direction. That is, the front awning ribs 31 are provided at positions that do not overlap with both end portions of the armrest 15 and the front guard 16 in the width direction. In addition, the rear awning rib 32 is provided at a position that does not overlap the armrest 15 in the width direction.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the rotation shaft 33 connects the front awning rib 31, the rear Fang Zheyang rib 32, the rear end portion of the armrest 15, and the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17. As shown in fig. 6 in particular, the front awning ribs 31 and the rear awning ribs 32 hold the rear end portions of the armrests 15. Similarly, the front awning ribs 31 and the rear awning ribs 32 sandwich the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17. The rear end portion of the armrest 15 clamps the upper end portion of the armrest supporting member 17. Accordingly, the positions of the front awning ribs 31, the rear Fang Zheyang ribs 32, the armrest 15, and the armrest support member 17 in the width direction are shifted.

Next, with reference to fig. 7 (a), 7 (b), and 7 (c) to 9 (a), 9 (b), the awning cloth 34 and the auxiliary awning ribs 35, 36, 37 will be described.

The awning cloth 34 is erected on the front awning frame 31 and the rear awning frame 32, and forms a dome-shaped three-dimensional shape. As shown in fig. 9 (a) and 9 (b), the awning cloth 34 is typically a double-layer structure, and includes an outer cloth 34a and an inner cloth 34b covering the outer sides and inner sides of the front and rear Fang Zheyang awning bones 31, 32, respectively. The outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b are sewn to, for example, the outer peripheral edges of the respective cloth.

A plurality of first and second auxiliary awning ribs 35, which are not connected to the rotation shaft 33, are provided between the front awning rib 31 and the rear awning rib 32. The 1 st auxiliary awning frame 35 is positioned on the front awning frame 31 side, and the 2 nd auxiliary awning frame 36 is positioned on the rear awning frame 32 side. The spacing of the front and rear Fang Zheyang awning bones 31, 32 and the first and second auxiliary awning bones 35, 36 is substantially the same. The first and second auxiliary awning bones 35, 36 are covered on the outside and inside by the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the awning cloth 34, similarly to the front and rear awning bones 31, 32. The first and second auxiliary awning bones 35, 36 are formed of, for example, synthetic resin or the like, and have a certain degree of flexibility, and the flexibility is higher than that of the front and rear awning bones 31, 32. The first and second auxiliary awning bones 35, 36 have substantially the same shape and linearly extend long shapes, but are sandwiched between the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the tarpaulin 34, and thus have inverted U-shapes similar to those of the front and rear awning bones 31, 32.

A3 rd auxiliary awning frame 37 is provided behind the rear awning frame 32, and the awning cloth 34 is also erected on the 3 rd auxiliary awning frame 37. The 3 rd auxiliary awning frame 37 has substantially the same shape as the first and second auxiliary awning frames 35, 36, but is formed to have a length in the longitudinal direction shorter than that of the first and second auxiliary awning frames 37. Accordingly, the 3 rd auxiliary awning frame 37 is formed to be attached to the backrest, and can be covered by the awning cloth 34 to the rear of the backrest.

In front of the front awning rib 31, a sun visor portion 38 is provided. The sunshade portion 38 is not coupled to the rotation shaft 33, but protrudes forward from the front sunshade rib 31. The outer and inner sides of the shade panel 38 are covered with the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the shade tarpaulin 34. The sunshade portion 38 is formed of a synthetic resin in a plate shape, and is curved along the shape of the front sunshade rib 31. By providing the sun visor portion 38, sunlight can be further shielded.

In order to reduce the influence of dust and radiant heat from the road surface, a recent stroller has a seat surface with a higher height than that of an existing stroller. On the other hand, the height of the pressing bar matches the height of the hand position of the person, and thus remains the same as the height of the existing pressing bar. Therefore, when the canopy is mounted on the armrest, the length of the canopy frame becomes short, and the seat area covered by the canopy becomes small, so that the canopy is opened to cause a feeling of pressure to the infant. The stroller 1 of the present embodiment includes the following features: by improving the structure of the awning 30, the seat surface is increased, and the height of the pressing rod 20 is kept constant, so that the space covered by the awning 30 is increased.

The existing baby carriage is provided with a front guard, and even if the awning is opened forward, the awning can interfere with the front guard, so that the awning cannot be opened forward of the front guard. In the present embodiment, since the space region S is provided between the armrest 15 and the front hood 16, the inner awning ribs 31 can be positioned in the space region S. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the front awning rib 31 does not interfere with the front guard 16, and therefore, the front of the seat portion can be covered with the awning 30. In addition, since the rear awning ribs 32 are located on the outer side in the width direction than the armrests 15, the rear space covered by the awning 30 can be made wider than the front space. As described above, by setting the entire upper region of the seat portion covered with the awning 30 as a closed space, the entire upper region of the seat portion covered with the awning 30 can be enlarged, and the feeling of oppression on the infant can be reduced.

In addition, in the existing stroller, the sunshade is mounted on the upper end of the armrest supporting member connected to the armrest, and the rotation axis of the sunshade is positioned at the rear and upper side of the armrest, so that the length of the sunshade rib is shortened. In the present embodiment, the front and rear Fang Zheyang roof bones 31, 32 are rotatably provided via the rotation shaft 33 connecting the armrest 15 and the armrest support member 17, so that the position of the roof bones can be positioned further forward and downward than in the existing stroller. Accordingly, the space covered by the sunshade 30 can be increased, and the entire upper region of the seat portion can be covered by the sunshade 30.

In the present embodiment, the inner awning rib 31 is provided on the inner side in the width direction than the armrest 15, and the pressing bar 20 is not involved with the awning 30, so that the pressing bar 20 can be switched between the opposite pressing state and the rear pressing state even when the awning 30 is opened.

As described above, the awning 30 can be folded in a manner that the angles of each other are variable. In the present embodiment, the retainer 40 is used to change the opening degree of the awning 30. The holder 40 will be described below.

(Regarding the holder)

Next, referring to fig. 7 (a), 7 (b), 7 (c) to 9 (a), and 9 (b), the holder 40 will be described. The holder 40 is installed at a portion where the rear awning rib 32 is located, and holds the 2 nd auxiliary awning rib 36 or the 1 st auxiliary awning rib 35 from above. In fig. 7 (b), the state in which the 2 nd auxiliary awning bone 36 is held by the holder 40 is shown. In fig. 7 (c), the 1 st auxiliary awning bone 35 is held by the holder 40. When the 1 st supplemental awning bone 35 is held by the holder 40, the awning 30 can be further closed as compared to holding the 2 nd supplemental awning bone 36.

As shown in fig. 7 (a), 7 (b), 7 (c) and 9 (a), the holder 40 of the present embodiment is sewn to the upper portion of the rear awning frame 32, that is, to the outer cloth 34a of the awning cloth 34 located in the vicinity of the rear awning frame 32, but may be directly attached to the rear awning frame 32. In addition, the holder 40 may be mounted not to the rear awning frame 32 but to a portion located at an upper portion of the front awning frame 31.

As shown in fig. 9 (a), the holder 40 has a holder body 41 and an inverted U-shaped receiving opening 42. The holder body 41 is formed of, for example, synthetic resin or the like. The holder body 41 includes: a first portion 41a having a receiving opening 42; and a 2 nd portion 41b of a flat shape. The first portion 41a of the present embodiment has an inverted U-shaped outer shape, but the receiving opening 42 has an inverted U-shaped outer shape, and the outer shape is not limited. The 2 nd portion 41b is plate-shaped and has a through hole 46 formed therein. The band-shaped member 47 is inserted into the through hole 46. Accordingly, the holder 40 is attached to the awning cloth 34 located on the upper portion of the rear Fang Zheyang awning bone 32 via the belt-shaped member 47.

The receiving opening 42 includes: a semicircular groove portion 43 located in a semicircular shape on the deep side; and a guide groove 44 extending from the semicircular groove 43 to the opening edge. The opening width of the guide groove 44 is slightly smaller than the diameter (opening width) of the semicircular groove 43. The opening width of the semicircular groove 43 is smaller than the width of the 2 nd auxiliary awning rib 36 covered by the awning cloth 34. The opening width of the guide groove 44 is substantially the same as the width of the 2 nd auxiliary awning rib 36 covered by the awning cloth 34. Accordingly, as shown in fig. 9 (b), the 2 nd auxiliary awning rib 36 covered by the awning cloth 34 is held in the semicircular groove 43 located above the opening edge portion of the holder 40 through the guide groove 44.

With this configuration, since the retainer 40 is used, even when the opening angle of the front Fang Zheyang and rear awning bones 31, 32 is narrowed for use, the 1 st auxiliary awning bone 35 which is not connected to the rotation shaft 33 or the awning cloth 34 which is bridged between the 2 nd auxiliary awning bone 36 and the front Fang Zheyang awning bone 31 can be put into a stretched state, and the awning cloth 34 can be prevented from being loosened. In addition, it is sufficient to hold the 2 nd auxiliary awning bone 36 from above by the holder 40, so that the 2 nd auxiliary awning bone 36 can be detached from the holder 40 with one hand when opening the awning 30. Therefore, the opening degree of the awning 30 can be easily adjusted with a simple configuration.

The holder 40 of the present embodiment is described as being attached to the front awning rib 31 or the rear awning rib 32, but may be attached to the auxiliary awning ribs 35, 36, 37. That is, the portion to which the holder 40 is attached may be any one of a sunshade rib attached to the rotation shaft and a supplementary sunshade rib not attached to the rotation shaft. For example, the retainer 40 may be provided at a portion for disposing the auxiliary awning frame, and the awning frame or the auxiliary awning frame may be held by the retainer 40. Even in this case, the use of the holder 40 prevents the awning cloth from being loosened, and the opening degree of the awning 30 can be easily adjusted with a simple configuration.

The awning 30 of the present embodiment includes: front and rear Fang Zheyang bones 31 and 32 connected to the rotation shaft 33; and auxiliary awning ribs 35, 36, 37 not connected to the rotation shaft 33. However, two or more awning ribs of the awning 30 may be provided, regardless of whether they are connected to the rotation shaft 33.

In the present embodiment, the inner awning rib 31 located on the inner side in the width direction is a front awning rib, and the outer awning rib 32 located on the outer side in the width direction is a rear awning rib, but the inner awning rib 31 may be a rear awning rib, and the outer awning rib 32 may be a front awning rib. That is, the awning frame located on the inner side in the width direction of the armrest 15 may also be an awning frame located on the rear.

Further, although two awning bones, which are rotatably coupled to the rotation shaft 33 and provided with the front awning bone 31 and the rear awning bone 32, have been described, at least one may be provided. At this time, the awning frame rotatably coupled to the rotation shaft 33 is preferably an awning frame located on the inner side in the width direction. Further, two or more awning bones such as a middle awning bone connected to the rotation shaft 33 may be provided between the front awning bone 31 and the rear awning bone 32.

Further, although the front awning rib 31 and the rear awning rib 32 have been described as having a curved shape extending rearward from the rotation shaft 33 and standing upward, they may be generally linear.

In the present embodiment, the stroller 1 is described as a folding stroller, but may be a stroller which cannot be folded. In this case, the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 may be connected to any member of the vehicle body frame 10, or may be connected to the rear leg 13, for example. The push rod 20 of the stroller 1 is of the back-to-face switching type, but may be fixed to either of the back-to-face type and the opposite type.

In the above-described embodiment, although the infant care apparatus for a child to which the awning is attached has been described as a stroller, the present invention is not limited to this, and any infant care apparatus such as a baby chair, a baby cradle, and a child care chair may be used.

Although the embodiments of the present application have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present application is not limited to the strollers of the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations may be made to the embodiments of the drawings within the same or equivalent scope as the present application.
