Then, when the stroller 10 is in the unfolded state or the folded state, the lock member 19 engages with the second link 32 to restrain relative rotation between the second link 32 and the first link 31. As a result, the stroller 10 is held in the unfolded state or the folded state.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a seat 90 having a seat portion 91, a back portion 92 and a side portion 93 is mounted on the stroller main body 11 of the stroller 10 having the above-described configuration.

  The stroller 10 (the stroller main body 11) having the entire configuration as described above can be folded by rotating the respective constituent members in the following manner.

  When the handle 15 is disposed at the front position (the position of the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2), first, the handle 15 is pivoted with respect to the main body frame 12 of the Move to the position of the solid line in FIG. Then, the handle 15 is fixed to the stroller 10 by the engagement between the sliding member 16 on the handle 15 disposed at the rear position and the second engaging portion on the first link 31 of the stroller main body 11. At this time, the handle 15 pivotally connected to the first link 31 at its lower end portion is fixed to the first link 31 by the engagement between the sliding member 16 and the second engaging portion. become. Then, during the following folding operation, in the side view, that is, when observed from the width direction of the stroller 10, the lower portion of the handle 15 performs the same operation as the first link 31.

  Next, the remote control device 18 a is operated to release the engagement between the first link 31 and the second link 32 via the lock member 19. Specifically, the operation member 18 is operated by the remote controller 18a, and at the same time, the lock member 19 on the first link 31 is operated via the operation member 18 to fix the first link 31 to the second link 32; Furthermore, the fixing of the other components of the first link 31 is released. At this time, the stroller 10 is in the unfolded state, and the lower end portion of the first link 31 is in contact with the middle portion of the rear leg 24.

  From this state, the handle 15 disposed at the rear position is once pulled back upward and then pushed downward. At this time, as described above, the first link 31 operates with the handle 15. Thereby, the first link 31 separates from the rear leg 24, and the second link 32 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2 with respect to the rear leg 24. With this operation, the arm rest 30 pivots clockwise with respect to the first link 31 in FIG. By such an operation, when observed from the width direction of the stroller (in side view), the handle 15 moves so as to approach the front leg 22 while maintaining a substantially parallel relationship with the front leg 22, and The size is reduced. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the baby carriage 10 is folded in the front-rear direction, the arrangement position of the handle 15 can be lowered while the handle 15 and the front leg 22 are kept substantially parallel. As a result, not only the dimension in the front-rear direction of the stroller 10, but also the dimension in the vertical direction of the stroller 10 can be reduced.

  On the other hand, in order to unfold the stroller 10 (the stroller main body 11) from the folded state, an operation reverse to the above-described folding operation may be performed.

  Next, the hood 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 6 to 12C. As shown in FIG. 2, the hood 100 has a hood 101 and a support device 110 for supporting the hood 101. As shown in FIG. 6, the support device 110 includes a base member 120 which forms a connection portion to the stroller main body 11 and substantially U-shaped first to third hood bones 131 and 132 which can swing with respect to the base member 120. And 133 are included. The first to third hoods 131, 132, and 133 are formed of metal, resin, or the like having a substantially thin plate shape or a linear shape. The hood fabric 101 is attached to the first to third hood bones 131, 132 and 133. In the illustrated example, the first hood bone 131 is disposed in front of or above the second hood bone 132. The second hood bone 132 is disposed in front of or above the third hood bone 133. By pivoting the first to third hoods 131, 132 and 133 relative to each other, the hood 100 is brought into the folded state, the semi-expanded state or the fully-deployed state as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C. be able to.

  Here, the folded state, as shown in FIG. 12A, is a state in which the first to third hood bones 131, 132 and 133 are closest to each other within respective swing ranges described later. In the fully deployed state, as shown in FIG. 12C, the first to third hood bones 131, 132, and 133 are most separated from each other within the respective swing ranges. Further, the anti-deployed state is an intermediate state between the folded state shown in FIG. 12A and the fully deployed state shown in FIG. 12A.

  By the way, as one of the needs for a hood as illustrated, there is a case where the entire seat is covered. In order to cover the entire seat, it is conceivable to increase the length of the hood. On the other hand, as can be understood from FIGS. 1 and 2, the hood passes through the area surrounded by the substantially U-shaped handle 15 when transitioning from the folded state to the deployed state. Thus, the dimensions of the hood are limited to those that can pass through the area enclosed by the handle. When the size of the hood is limited, the range in which the hood can be covered is also limited. And usually, the hood is provided so as to cover the rear side area of the seat. Therefore, it was not possible to cover the front end of the seat with the hood.

  In consideration of such circumstances, the hood 100 according to the present invention is devised to enable covering the seat support portion 40 (and hence the seat 90) more extensively. In the baby carriage 10 as the cart 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the front end 100 a of the hood 100 is located forward of the front end 40 a of the seat support 40 in the fully developed state of the hood 100. The front side area of the sheet support portion 40 is covered.

  Hereinafter, each component of the hood 100 will be described. First, the hood cloth 101 will be described. The hood cloth 101 can be formed using a flexible material, such as cloth, which can shield sunlight and wind and weather. However, various known materials can be used for the hood fabric 101. For example, a part of the hood fabric 101 may be formed of a mesh material or the like from the viewpoint of enabling light collection, ventilation, fluoroscopy, and the like. Furthermore, the hood fabric 101 may have functions such as water repellency, waterproofness, water resistance, and the like. In the illustrated example, the hood fabric 101 includes a front portion 102 provided between the first hood bone 131 and the second hood bone 132, and a rear portion 103 connected to the front portion 102 from the rear. . The hood fabric 101 also has a front end portion 104 connected to the front portion 102 from the side opposite to the rear portion 103, and a rear end portion 105 connected to the rear portion 103 from the side opposite to the front portion 102. doing.

  In order to ventilate the space between the seat 90 attached to the seat support portion 40 and the hood 100, the front portion 102 and the rear portion 103 respectively have a first mesh portion 102a and a second mesh portion 103a made of mesh material. have. Moreover, the 1st flap 102b and the 2nd flap 103b which can be opened and closed are provided in the part which overlaps with the 1st net-like part 102a and the 2nd net-like part 103a, respectively. When the first flap 102b is flipped, the first mesh 102a appears. In addition, when the second flap 103b is flipped, the second net-like portion 103a appears. With such a configuration, even if the upper side of the sheet 90 is covered with the hood 100, ventilation of the space between the sheet 90 and the hood 100 is performed through the first mesh portion 102a and / or the second mesh portion 103a. Can.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front end portion 104 extends downward below the first hood bone 131 in the fully developed state of the hood 100 and blocks sunlight or weather from the front. The front end portion 104 includes a plate member 104 a and prevents the front end portion 104 from being turned up by the wind, and the front end portion 104 from hanging down from above the seat 90 when the hood 100 is half-deployed. Further, in the fully developed state of the hood 100, the side edge (i.e., the front side edge of the hood 100) 104b of the front end portion 104 extends forward and downward from the horizontal direction. Thereby, in the front side area | region of the sheet | seat 90, the sunlight and the weather from the side of the baby carriage 10 can be interrupted | blocked. Furthermore, the front side edge 104 b extends along the arm rest 30 in the fully deployed state of the hood 100. As a result, the gap between the hood 100 and the stroller main body 11 can be reduced, and sunlight and weather from the side of the stroller 10 can be effectively blocked.

  Further, the rear end portion 105 extends lower than the third hood bone 133, and prevents a gap from being formed between the side portion 93 of the seat 90 and the hood 100. As a result, it is possible to effectively block sunlight and weather from the rear of the stroller 10.

  The hood fabric 101 is attached to the first hood bone 131 in the boundary region between the front end portion 104 and the front portion 102. The hood fabric 101 is attached to the second hood bone 132 in the boundary region between the front portion 102 and the rear portion 103. The hood fabric 101 is attached to the third hood bone 133 in the boundary region between the rear portion 103 and the rear end portion 105. With such a configuration of the hood fabric 101, the front portion 102 and the rear portion 103 of the hood fabric 101 are spread and folded as the first to third hood bones 131, 132 and 133 move relative to one another.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to prevent the hood fabric 101 from being crushed in the fully developed state (see FIG. 12C) or the semi-expanded state (see FIG. 12B) of the hood 100, the auxiliary core material 134 is a hood fabric. It may be sewn to 101 or may be incorporated in a hood fabric 101. The auxiliary core 134 may be made of, for example, a resin or the like that is more flexible than the first to third hoods 131, 132, and 133.

Abuts against the base plate-like portion 122 of FIG. Then, the base engagement surface 123 (see FIG. 9) facing one side along the swing axis As of the base member 120 (see FIG. 9) is the other side along the swing axis As of the third pivoting portion 142 of the intermediate member 140. It is engageable with the facing third pivot engaging surface 148 (see FIG. 10).

  By engagement of the base engagement surface 123 and the third pivoting portion engagement surface 148, the intermediate member 140 having the second hood 132 is maintained at any one of a plurality of predetermined relative positions with respect to the base member 120. It is supposed to be Specifically, the first concavo-convex structure 170 is formed on one of the base engagement surface 123 and the third pivot engagement surface 148, and the base engagement surface 123 and the third pivot engagement surface 148.

Further, the first convex portion 171a is provided apart on one circumference centering on the swing axis As as in the first concave portion 170a. In the illustrated example, two sets of first convex groups are provided point-symmetrically with respect to the swing axis As. Each first convex portion group is provided with two first convex portions 171 a. The two first protrusions 171a are arranged at the same pitch as the first recesses 170a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a swing range restricting projection 172 is formed on the base engaging surface 123. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a swing range restricting wall 173 is formed on the third pivoting portion engaging surface 148. When the swing range restricting projection 172 abuts on the swing range restricting wall 173, a range in which the second hood bone 132 can swing relative to the base member 120 is defined.

  With the above-described configuration, the intermediate member 140 having the second hood 132 is set to a plurality of predetermined relative positions with respect to the base member 120 by the base engaging surface 123 and the third pivoting member engaging surface 148 engaging with each other. It is supposed to be maintained either. That is, the engagement between the base engagement surface 123 and the third pivoting portion engagement surface 148 generates a regulating force that regulates the swing of the intermediate member 140 with respect to the base member 120. However, when trying to swing the intermediate member 140 relative to the base member 120 with a force larger than this restriction force, the engagement between the base engagement surface 123 and the third pivoting portion engagement surface 148 is caused by elastic deformation. The intermediate member 140 can be rocked with respect to the base member 120 by being released.

  In addition, by swinging the intermediate member 140 with respect to the base member 120, the connection position of the second bone member 132 to the connection portion 141 can be moved forward of the base member 120. At the same time, the pivoting position of the bone member 150 including the first hood bone 131 to the intermediate member 140 can also be moved forward relative to the base member 120. By moving the connection position of the second bone member 132 to the connection portion 141 forward, the center in the front-rear direction in the fully developed state of the hood 100 is positioned in front of the base member 120. Further, by moving the pivoting position of the bone member 150 to the intermediate member 140 forward, the front end of the first hood bone 131 in the fully developed state of the hood 100, that is, the front end of the hood 100 is the base member It will be located in front as compared with the case where it is directly pivoted to 120.

  Further, as well shown in FIG. 7, in the illustrated example, the fifth pivoting portion 152 of the bone member 150 is intermediate from the other side (inward in the width direction) along the swing axis At. It abuts on the fourth pivoting part 144 of the member 140. The fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149 (see FIG. 10) facing the other side along the pivoting axis At of the fourth pivoting portion 144 of the intermediate member 140 pivots the connecting portion 151 of the bone member 150. It is engageable with the bone member engaging surface 157 (see FIG. 11) facing to one side along the axis At.

  The engagement of the fourth pivoting part engaging surface 149 and the bone member engaging surface 157 allows the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131 to be at any of a plurality of predetermined relative positions with respect to the intermediate member 140. It is supposed to be maintained. Specifically, the second uneven structure 180 is formed on one of the fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149 and the bone member engaging surface 157, and the fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149 and the bone member engaging On the other side of the surface 157, a second convex portion 181a engageable with the first uneven structure 180 is provided.

  In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 10, the fourth concavo-convex structure 180 is formed on the fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149. The second uneven structure 180 is formed by a plurality of second recesses 180 a formed in the fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149. Each second recess 180 a has a depth in a direction parallel to the swing axis At. The plurality of second recesses 180 a are provided at equal intervals on one circumference centered on the swing axis At. In the example shown in FIG. 10, twenty-four second recesses 180a are provided at intervals of a central angle of 15 ° on the circumference centered on the swing axis At.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the bone member engaging surface 157 is provided with a second convex portion 181 a. The second convex portion 181a protrudes from the bone member engaging surface 157 in a direction parallel to the swing axis At. The thickness and the length of the second convex portion 181a are determined such that at least the tip thereof can be inserted into the second concave portion 180a of the second uneven structure 180. Further, the second convex portion 181a is provided apart on one circumference centering on the swing axis At as in the second concave portion 180a. In the illustrated example, two sets of second convex groups are provided point-symmetrically with respect to the swing axis At. Two second convex portions 181 a are provided in each second convex portion group. The two second convex portions 181 a are arranged at a pitch corresponding to the pitch of the second concave portions 180 a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a rocking range restricting projection 182 is formed on the bone member engaging surface 157. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a rocking range restricting wall 183 is formed on the fourth pivoting part engaging surface 149. When the swing range restricting projection 182 abuts on the swing range restricting wall 183, a range in which the relative swing can be made to the intermediate member 140 of the first hood bone 131 is defined.

  With the above configuration, the fourth pivoting member engaging surface 149 and the bone member engaging surface 157 engage with each other, whereby the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131 has a plurality of predetermined relative to the intermediate member 140. It is intended to be maintained in one of the positions. That is, the engagement between the fourth pivoting portion engaging surface 149 and the bone member engaging surface 157 generates a regulating force that regulates the rocking of the bone member 150 with respect to the intermediate member 140. However, when trying to swing the bone member 150 with respect to the intermediate member 140 with a force larger than this restriction force, the engagement between the fourth pivoting part engagement surface 149 and the bone member engagement surface 157 is elastically deformed. And the bone member 150 can be rocked relative to the intermediate member 140.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12A-FIG. 12C, the effect | action in expansion operation and folding operation of the hood which consists of the above structure is demonstrated.

  First, the operation in the expansion operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 12A, in the folded state of the hood 100, the first hood bone 131 and the second hood bone 132 are rocked rearward. The first hood bone 131 and the second hood bone 132 are closest to the third hood bone 133 within the respective swingable ranges. At this time, the fourth pivoting portion 144 of the connecting portion 141 is substantially vertically aligned with the third pivoting portion 143, and is located above the base member 120. Therefore, both ends of the bone member 150 including the first hood bone 131 are located above the base member 120. Further, in the side view of the hood 100, the extending direction of the first hood bone 131 of the bone member 150 is substantially orthogonal to the direction in which the third pivoting portion 143 and the fourth pivoting portion 144 are aligned.

  Next, when the first hood bone 131 is swung forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 12A) by gripping the front end of the hood 100 from the state shown in FIG. 12A, the hood 100 unfolds as shown in FIG. 12B. . At this time, as shown in FIG. 12B, the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131 rotates (rocks) with respect to the intermediate member 140 around the shaft portion 155a. Thereby, the first hood bone 131 is separated from the second hood bone 132, and the front portion 102 of the hood fabric 101 is spread.

  Further, by applying a force for forward rocking to the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131, a force for forward rocking is also applied to the intermediate member 140, and the intermediate member 140 is a base member around the shaft portion 123a. It pivots (rocks) with respect to 120. As a result, the second hood bone 132 is separated from the third hood bone 133, and the rear portion 103 of the hood fabric 101 is spread. At this time, the connection portion 141 of the intermediate member 140 to which the bone member 150 is pivoted is inclined forward about the shaft portion 123a. As a result, the fourth pivoting portion 144 to which the bone member 150 pivots is moved forward of the base member 120. Therefore, both ends of the first hood bone 131 also move forward. In addition, the connection position of the second hood bone 132 to the connection portion 141 also moves forward.

  Next, when the first hood bone 131 is further rocked forward (counterclockwise in FIG. 12A) from the state shown in FIG. 12B, the hood 100 is further developed as shown in FIG. 12C. The bone member 150 having the first hood 131 is further rocked relative to the intermediate member 140. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12C, the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131 further rotates (rocks) with respect to the intermediate member 140 around the shaft portion 155a. As a result, the first hood bone 131 is further separated from the second hood bone 132, and the front portion 102 of the hood fabric 101 is further spread.

  Further, by applying a force for forward rocking to the bone member 150 having the first hood bone 131, a force for forward rocking is also applied to the intermediate member 140, and the intermediate member 140 is a base member around the shaft portion 123a. Further pivot (rock) with respect to 120. As a result, the second hood bone 132 is further separated from the third hood bone 133, and the rear portion 103 of the hood fabric 101 is further spread. At this time, the connecting portion 141 to which the bone member 150 is pivoted is further inclined forward about the shaft portion 123a, and the fourth pivoting portion 144 to which the bone member 150 is pivoted is further moved forward than the base member 120. Do. Therefore, both ends of the first hood bone 131 also move forward. Further, the connection position of the second hood bone 132 to the connecting portion 141 also moves forward.

  Then, the bone member 150 swings to a range where it can swing relative to the intermediate member 140 defined by the swing range restricting wall 183 and the swing range restricting projection 182, and the intermediate member 140 swings. When the movable member 100 swings to a range capable of relative swinging with respect to the base member 120 defined by the range regulating wall 173 and the swinging range regulating projection 172, the hood 100 is fully expanded (see FIG. 12C). In this state, the first hood bone 131 extends generally horizontally forward, and the second hood bone 132 extends generally vertically. Further, the second hood bone 132 located on the longitudinal center plane along the width direction of the hood 100 is located in front of the base member 120. Further, both end portions of the first hood bone 131 are located further forward than the second hood bone 132.

  Here, in the conventional hood, the hood bone is usually pivotally attached directly to a base member provided at or near the rear end of the armrest (and hence on the rear side of the cart body). Therefore, the longitudinal center plane along the width direction when the hood is fully deployed is located at or near the rear end of the armrest. Further, the hood bone defining the tip of the hood in the fully deployed state extends from or near the rear end of the armrest. Therefore, the conventional hood can not cover the front end of the seat support.

  However, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, in the hood 100 of the present embodiment, both ends of the first hood bone 131 defining the front end of the hood 100 extend from the front relative to the base member 120 in the fully deployed state. ing. Thereby, the hood 100 can be covered to the front end of the seat support portion 40. Furthermore, in the hood 100 of the present embodiment, the longitudinal center plane of the hood 100 is located forward of the base member 120 in the fully developed state. Thereby, even if the baby sitting on the seat 90 lies up or down, a sufficient distance can be secured between the hood fabric 101 and the baby, and the baby can be provided with a more comfortable environment. .

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2, in the hood 100 in the fully expanded state, the front end portion 104 extends downward below the first hood bone 131 and covers the front of the seat support portion 40. Further, the front end covers the side of the front side area of the seat 90. Specifically, the side edge 104b of the front end portion 104 (and hence the front side edge of the hood 100) extends along the armrest 30 forward in the downward direction rather than in the horizontal direction.

  On the other hand, when the folding operation of the hood 100 is performed, the reverse operation to the above-described expanding operation may be performed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the hood 100 is the hood 100 used for the cart body 2 and includes the hood cloth 101 and the supporting device 110 for supporting the hood cloth 101, The device 110 comprises a base member 120 connected to the cart body 2, an intermediate member 140 pivotally mounted to the base member 120, and a first bone portion pivotally attached to the intermediate member 140 and functioning as a hood bone supporting the hood fabric 101. And a bone member 150 including 131.

  In the hood 100 of the present embodiment, the bone member 150 of the support device 110 supporting the hood 101 is not directly pivoted to the base member 120 but pivoted to the intermediate member 140 pivoted to the base member 120. It is done. In such a support device 110, by swinging the intermediate member 140 forward, both end portions of the first bone portion 131 defining the front end of the hood 100 in the fully developed state of the hood 100 are forward of the base member 120. Can be moved to Thereby, the hood 100 can be covered to the area further ahead.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the intermediate member 140 includes the connecting portion 141 pivotally attached to the base member 120 and the bone member 150, and the second bone portion 132 extending from the connecting portion 141, and the second bone portion Reference numeral 132 functions as a hood bone supporting the hood fabric 101. In this case, the position where the second bone portion 132 of the intermediate member 140 extends can be moved forward relative to the base member 120 by pivoting the intermediate member 140 forward.
