Description

BABY STROLLER INGLUDINQ IMPROVED REMOVABLE SEAT CONSTRUCTIW The present invention relates to baby strollers and particularly to seat constructions for baby One form of baby stroller presently in use includes a frame having a pair of side bars supporting the seat in suspension below the side In this the seat is made of flexible such as plastic and is fastened directly to the side for example by forming a hollow bead at the ends of the seat through which the side bars When assembling the baby stroller of this the side bars must first be passed through the hollow beads of the and then the side bars are assembled to the remainder of the frame The frame structure thus cannot be completely assembled until after the seat is attached to the frame side This is not very convenient in assembling the but probably of a more serious drawback in this construction ie the requirement that in order to repair the after the side bars must first be disassembled from the frame and the seat has been and to the side the latter are then reassembled to the frame Another drawback in this known construction is the need for additional means for supporting the bottom of the seat against the weight of the baby sitting in and also against the tendency for the seat to swing lengthwise of the 2 An object of the present Invention is to provide a stroller seat construction which enables the seat to be applied to the stroller after the frame structure has been completely thereby greatly simplifying the assembly of the seat to the frame structure during the manufacture of the baby and also simplifying the removal and attachment of the seat for purposes of The novel seat construction of the present invention has additional in that it also at the same time and in a very inexpensive support for the weat against the weight of the and against the tendency for the seat swing lengthwise of the According to the present there is provided a baby stroller having a seat and a frame a pair of side supporting the seat in suspension characterized in that said seat includes a pair of sideppanels of flexible material attached to and extending laterally from the each side panel being of a length at least the distance from the tpp of its respective supporting side bar to the each side panel being brought over the top of its respective supporting underside of the side bar and back to the a uring member for securing the ends of the panels at the of the the ends of the panels each being formed with a hollow said securing member passing through said hollow In securing member is of the two legs of which are parallel to the side bars of the the free end of each of the two legs being secured to the In this described the frame includes a spaced below the and at right angles the free ends of the securing member legs being hooked and attachable to this Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description The invention is herein somewhat diagrammatically and by way of example with reference to the accompanying a 1 is a side view of a baby stroller constructed in accordance the present 2 is a from of the seat of the baby stroller of 3 is a top plan view of the baby stroller of and 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view showing a detail of The baby stroller illustrated in 1 comprises a frame structure on each two crossed frame members 2 and 4 pivotably mounted to each at Frame members being one on each carry the front wheels and frame members 4 carry the rear wheels A member is pivotably mounted to the upper ends of frame members 2 and forms the handle 12 of the baby The frame structure further includes a pair of side bars 14 joined together at their forward the mountings being shown at In a cross bar 16 is provided across frame members 4 and supports the leg rest The foregoing frame structure is of known and therefore it is not believed necessary to further elaborate on its details of construction It will be appreciated that the construction can and that a number of details normally found on baby such as wheel shock adjustin are not illustrated in the drawings for purposes of simplifying the present In the known the baby generally designated is supported in suspension from the side bars the back 22 of the baby seat is supported by rod 24 attached to the rear ends of the side bars In the known the seat is normally formed with side panels provided with hollow beads which fit into side bars such that the seat must first be assembled to the side bars by passing the latter through the hollow before the side bars with the seats can be assembled to the frame As indicated this arrangement is very inconvenient in the manufacture of the baby stroller and also in the repair of the since it is necessary to disassemble the side bars whenever the seat is to be assembled for manufacture or According to the present the seat 20 includes a pair of side panels 30 of flexible such as plastic or The side panels are attached the bottom of to and extend laterally seat Each side panel 30 is of a length at least double the distance of the from the top of its respective 14 to the The side panel is brought over the top of its respective side bar 14 and is then brought down to a location under bottom lower the seat The of the panels 30 are formed with hollow beads and a securing member 34 is passed through the hollow beads 32 securing the ends of the side panels at the underside of the The two legs of member which extend parallel to the side bars 14 terminate in hook formations which hooks are easily attachable to and detachable from the It will be seen that the seat can be easily and quickly attached or detached from the side bars 14 the latter have been assembled to the remainder of the structure For assembling the seat to side it is only necessary to bring side panels 30 up and around side bars 14 and then back to the side of the seat then pass the securing member 34 through the hollow beads 32 at the ends of the side and finally the of securing member 34 to The detachment of the seat is similarly a very simple by removing securing member seat 20 may be easily attached or removed during the original assembly of the baby stroller or at any subsequent time for purposes of Securing member 34 also provides support to the bottom of the seat and in addition holds the seat against any tendency lengthwise movement of the In the hereto or known separate and more complicated arrangements were usually required for performing these Many modifications and other applications of the invention will be insufficientOCRQuality
