A reclining mechanism 1 for a baby carriage 2 having spaced substantially parallel side frames 3 and a seat frame structure 4 supported by and pivotably mounted between the side frames 3, the seat frame structure including spaced elongate seat members 5 and spaced elongate back members 6 each mounted intermediate the length of a respective seat member 5 and extending from an associated side frame 3, wherein there is a pair of reclining mechanisms 1 each one of which is a telescopic member and is pivotably mounted between a respective seat back member 6 and a rear member 7 of an associated side frame 3, whereby the seat back members 6 are reciprocable between erect and reclined positions when the telescopic members are actuated. The telescopic members comprising th reclining mechanisms 1 are identical on each side of the baby carriage. The telescopic members comprise two relatively slidable members 8 and 9, the first one 8 comprising a detent 10 and seating 11 for the detent being carried by the second one 9 of the two members (Fig. 6), which second member 9 is pivotably connected to a respective back member 6. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Reclining mechanism for a baby carriage The invention relates to a reclining mechanism for a baby carriage.
According to the invention there is provided a reclining mechanism for a baby carriage hav ing spaced substantially parallel side frames and a seat frame structure supported by and pivotably mounted between the side frames, the seat frame structure including spaced elongate seat members and spaced elongage back members each mounted intermediate the length of a respective seat member and extending from an associated side frame, wherein there is a pair of members each one of which is telescopic and pivotably mounted between a respective seat back member and associated side frame whereby the seat back members are reciprocable between erect and reclined positions when the telescopic members are actuated.
The telescopic members may be mounted between a respective rear member of each side frame and an elongate back member of the seat frame structure.
The telescopic members may each comprise two relatively slidable members comprising a detent carried by one member and a seating for the detent carried by a second of the two members and pivotably connected to a respective back member.
The second member may comprise a passage with a plurality of spaced seatings openings therefrom for the detent, each seating corresponding with a reclined position of the back members of the seat frame structure.
There may be four seatings.
A reclining mechanism for a baby carriage is hereinafter described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS Figures 1, 2 and 3 show respective perspective views of part of a baby carriage including a reclining mechanism showing respectively operations necessary to recline a seat (Figs. 1 and 2) and to erect same; Figure 4 shows schematically a side elevational view of the baby carriage of Figs. 1-3 showing different positions of the seat; Figure 5 shows to a larger scale than the other Figs. part of a telescopic member of the reclining mechanism of those other Figs; and Figure 6 shows, also to a larger scale, part of a second member of the reclining mechanism.
Referring to the drawings there is shown a reclining mechanism 1 for a baby carriage 2 having spaced substantially parallel side frames 3 and a seat frame structure 4 supported by and pivotably mounted between the side frames 3, the seat frame structure including spaced elongage seat members 5 and spaced elongate back members 6 each mounted intermediate the length of a respective seat member 5 and extending from an associated side frame 3, wherein there is a pair of reclining mechanisms 1 each one of which is a telescopic member and is pivotably mounted between a respective seat back member 6 and a rear member 7 of an associated side frame 3, whereby the seat back members 6 are reciprocable between erect and reclined positions when the telescopic members are actuated. The telescopic members comprising the reclining mechanism 1 are identical on each side of the baby carriage.
The telescopic members comprise two relatively slidable members 8 and 9, the first one 8 comprising a detent 10 and seatings 11 for the detent being carried by the second one 9 of the two members, which second member 9 is pivotably connected to a respective back member 6. The second member 9 comprises two halves of which one 9' is shown in Fig. 6 the halves being moulded from a suitable material such as nylon, which defines a passage 12 for the first member 8 and detent 10, which is preferably of metal. The seatings 11 define the number of reclined positions. The passage 12 comprises a blind slot in each half with the seatings 11 comprising notches spaced by wave or toothed shaped cam-like surfaces 13.The passage 12 is in a rebated part of each half so that when the halves are combined a boss in one half (not shown) engages in a bore 14 of the half 9 shown to define the passage 12 and seatings 11 with the detent 10 in a seating 11 and the one slidable member 8 in the form of a flat metal bar extending from the second member 9 to be pivotably connected to the rear upright member 7 of a side frame 3. The angle of the passage 12 and rebate is such that when the metal bar 8 is aligned therewith, the detent 10 rides out of the seatings 11. The second telescopic member 9 is connected to the seat back member 6 by a securing means passing through that and the boss, which helps to secure the two halves together when they are assembled round the metal bar 8 to form the reclining mechanism 1.The two halves are also secured together at the other end by rivets throught holes 15 at either side of the bar 8.
In operation, with the seat back 6 errect (Fig. 1) the detent 10 rests in a seating 11. If it is desired to recline the seat back rest, finger pressure is applied upwardly (as viewed (arrow 'X') Fig. 2) on the second member 9 which pivots it about the back member 6. At the same time the metal bar 8 pivots about the rear member 7 of the side frame 3 and the detent 10 is raised from the seating 11 (the left hand one in Fig. 6). The top edge of the passage limits upward movement of the telescopic members. The reclining mechanism is now effectively "broken". Hand pressure on the set back rest, or the weight of a child in the seat now pivots the back rest elongate members 6 to the left (Figs. 1-4) (arrow 'Y') thereby effectively shortening the telescopic members 8 and 9.To accommodate this, the second member 9 slides over the first member until the detent 10 is over another of the seatings 11, say 11' when downward pressure (arrow 'Z') (Fig. 2) pivots the first member 8 so that the detent 10 enters the desired seating 11', to lock the reclining mechanism 1 in the new position. If a fully reclined or 'lieback' position is required, the second member 9 is pushed over the first member 8 so that the detent rides all the way up the passage 12 to the end 16. This is shown at 'E' in Fig.
4. Positions 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' show erect and reclined positions. To erect the seat again, it is merely necessary to move the seat back rest 6 in the direction of the arrow 'R' (Fig. 3) so that the detent 10 rides out of the seating over the cam surfaces 13 into another desired seating 11 the hook or vertical face 17 of the seating resisting return movement so the seat is secure. Further reclining has to be accomplished by raising the telescopic members in the direction of arrow 'X' as previously described.
It will be understood that the baby carriage 2 may be collapsible in 'stick'-fashion by drawing the side frames 3 together so that they lie one on top of another with the rear member over a front member of each one, which front members are breakable in the middle as shown at 18.
