JP2532302Y2 - A stroller that doubles as a shopping car - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a stroller that also functions as a shopping car in which a basket for storing articles is mounted on a lower surface of a seat plate so as to be freely slidable and foldable.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

So-called strollers that carry infants are known to have various structures. The angle of the relationship between the seating part on which the infant is carried and the backrest part can be freely set from the sitting state of the infant to the lying state. It is widely known as one with a full reclining mechanism that can be changed to, and also a hand pushing mechanism to move the stroller, a hand pushing rod is located on the back of the infant and pushes from the back side,
Alternatively, various types have been known, such as one in which a push rod is positioned in a direction facing an infant and pressed while facing the infant.

However, since the main purpose of these known strollers is to carry infants, a mechanism for carrying luggage and carrying them has not been effectively configured.

That is, in the case of a conventional stroller, a small article container such as a basket is attached to the lower surface of the stroller seat floor plate, and a known article container attached to these is attached to a folding mechanism of the stroller. Due to a related limitation or a mechanical limitation related to handling of a stroller or the like, an article container such as a basket has to be mounted directly below the rear surface of the seat plate (projection surface).

Aside from the case where the above-mentioned article container is formed in a relatively shallow dish shape, in the case where the article container is configured as a deep container to increase the capacity of the article container, the back surface of the seat floor plate is used. The distance between the floor and the upper opening surface of the article container is reduced. Therefore, if an article is to be stored, an operation of inserting an article from a small gap formed between the seat floor plate and the opening face is required. This has the disadvantage that the entire opening surface of the article container cannot be used effectively.

As means for solving these problems, a baby stroller which also serves as a shopping car in which the opening surface of the article container is positioned so as to be displaced rearward from the lower surface of the seat floor plate to form a large opening surface is disclosed in the present applicant. Although it was developed and devised (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-84805), also in this case, since the article container is fixed so that it can be folded as it is, it is folded in a bulky state on the back side of the backrest of the stroller. There was the inconvenience of having to do it.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is intended to deal with this, and it is possible to provide not only a baby stroller for carrying infants, but also to store and transport a large amount of goods purchased by shopping at the same time as carrying infants. The aim is to provide a stroller that also serves as a shopping car that can be operated in parallel.

Another object of the present invention is to fix the article container attached to the lower surface of the seat panel by sliding it to the rear portion of the seat panel when in use, so that the entire opening surface formed above the article container is fixed. In addition, when not in use, the stroller body can be extremely compactly folded and stowed by moving and returning the article container to the lower surface of the seating board and storing it. It is something to offer.

[Points of the invention]

According to the present invention, guide rails are provided on both lower sides of a seat floor portion which is attached to the front leg rod and the rear leg rod, and the guide rail has a bottom plate formed by using a net with a flat U-shaped frame rod. The frame rod of the article container having an upper surface opened by suspending the upper end of the bag portion is slidably mounted, and the article container attached to the guide rail is moved from the lower surface position of the seat floor portion to the lower rear position of the seat floor portion. A locking member having a grip portion having a U-shaped side surface is formed at the rear of the bottom plate of the article container, and the grip section is formed by the frame rod when the article container is folded. The main point of the present invention is a stroller which is detachably mounted on a rear end of the car and is configured so that a bottom plate of the article container is folded close to the frame rod so as to function as a shopping car.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.

The stroller shown in the figure is a publicly known stroller, in which a front leg rod 1, a rear leg rod 2, and a hand pushing rod 3 are foldably combined to form a frame, and the upper ends of the front leg rod 1 and the rear leg rod 2 are combined in one place. The armrest bar 4 is attached to the assembled pivot portion and the support bar 31 erected from an intermediate portion in the length direction of the rear leg bar 2.

The frame rod 71 is slidably mounted so that it can be freely pulled out and stored by being fitted into a sliding groove 54 formed in 51, 51. The rear end portion, that is, the guide rail 51, is configured to be suspended and supported in a cantilever shape in a state of being pulled out toward the rear end portion.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, near the front and rear ends of the guide rails 51, 51, locking protrusions 52, 52 for preventing the article container 7 from moving unnecessarily are provided with a small height. It is formed so as to protrude. Desirable projecting positions of the locking projections 52, 52 are two pulleys 73, 7 attached to the front and rear of the frame rod 71, respectively.
It is often protruded so that it is located in the middle part of 3,
This makes it difficult for the pulleys 73, 73 to move in any of the front and rear directions.

When moving the frame rod 71, the pulleys 73, 73 are
It moves over 52.

The mechanism for preventing the movement of the frame rod 71 is not limited to the locking projection 52 described above, but may be of any structure as long as the frame rod 71 can be stopped at a predetermined position on the guide rail. It can be anything.

Reference numeral 53 denotes a lid plate attached to the end of the guide rail 51, which prevents the pulley 73 from coming off the guide rail 51.

The bag 72 formed by using the net does not incorporate a special skeleton or the like for maintaining a deep basket shape, and the developed shape is maintained by the weight of the bottom plate 74 attached to the bottom surface. (See FIG. 3) Reference numeral 8 denotes a locking tool attached to the lower rear end of the bag 72, and a locking hole formed in the step plate 9 by a flange-shaped locking projection 81 projecting downward. A holding portion 82 is formed so as to protrude so that it can be fitted and locked to the 91, and a bent portion formed on the upper surface so as to have a U-shaped side surface is formed so as to be able to be clamped to the rear end of the frame rod 71.

The storage operation of the article container 7 in this embodiment is performed in the manner illustrated in FIG. 6 (when the article container is moved to the lower surface of the seating section as it is and then folded), and There is an advantage that two methods can be implemented in the case illustrated in the figure (case in which the article container is folded in advance and then moved to the lower surface of the seating floor).

[Operation of the invention]

The stroller of the present invention configured as described above is used as follows.

In this embodiment, when it is desired to use the article container, there are two methods for expanding the article container. That is, in the first method, as illustrated in the schematic diagram of FIG. 6, after deploying the article container 7 at the lower surface position of the seat floor, the developed article container 7 is It is a method of using it by pulling it out to the back side. In the second method, as illustrated in the schematic diagram of FIG. 7, the article container 7 is kept in a folded state from the lower surface of the seat floor 5 to the rear side (rear).
This is the way in which it is drawn out and then deployed at the back position of the seating section 5.

In the case of the above-described embodiment, it is possible to arbitrarily select and apply any one of the first method and the second method.

In this case, the operation may be performed in the order of FIG. 6 (c) → (b) → (a). That is, for example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The accommodated article container 7 (the state of FIG. 6 (c)) is opened and folded at that position to be in a suspended state (the state of FIG. 6 (b)). Complete by pulling out to the back (rear). (State of FIG. 6 (a)) The article container 7 pulled out to the rear of the seating floor 5 and developed into a predetermined shape by the weight of the bottom plate 74 is a locking member formed at the rear end of the lower surface of the bottom plate 74. 8 to the step plate 9
By engaging with the locking hole 91 drilled in the vehicle, stable suspension without moving unnecessarily can be achieved, and it becomes possible to store the purchased goods.

Also, the locking protrusions 52, 52 formed near the front and rear ends of the guide rail 51 prevent the pulleys 73, 73 from moving, so that the article container 7 is prevented from moving unnecessarily.

(2) When using an article container (No. 2) This deployment method is equivalent to the above method,
This is the method illustrated in FIG. In this case, the operation may be performed in the order of FIG. 7 (c) → (b) → (a).

When it is desired to use the article container in this embodiment, first, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 5, the article container 7 which is folded and stored on the lower surface of the seating floor is kept in a folded state. Then, the engagement between the distal end of the bottom plate 74 and the distal ends of the guide rails 51, 51 is released, and then the gripper 82, which is locked to the rear end of the U-shaped frame rod 71, is released. By doing so, the folded state of the article container 7 is released.

(3) Storage of the article container (No. 1) In this case, the opening operation described in the use of the article container (No. 1) may be performed in a completely opposite operation.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 6 (a), the article container 7 located at the rear position of the seat floor is unfolded and the seat
(See FIG. 6 (b)). Then, the bottom plate 74 of the article container 7 is lifted upward to lift the bottom plate.
The portion 74 and the U-shaped frame 71 are overlapped and approached, and in this state, the tip of the bottom plate 74 and the tip of the guide rail 51 are locked by appropriate means.

Next, by completely attaching the grip portion 82 of the locking member 8 attached to the rear of the bottom plate 74 to the U-shaped frame rod 71, complete folding can be performed.

(4) Storage of Article Container (Part 2) Also in this case, the operation just opposite to the opening operation described in Use of the Article Container (Part 2) may be performed.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 7 (a), the article container 7 located at the back (rear) position of the seating section 5 is folded by bringing the bottom plate 74 part close to the direction of the frame rod 71 at the same position. I do. (Refer to FIG. 7 (b).) Then, the folded article container 7 is advanced along the guide rails 51, so that the seat section 5 as illustrated in FIG.
Can be located on the lower surface.

[Effect of the invention]

The features of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

(1) The article container 7 conventionally fixed directly below the seating floor is configured to be able to be pulled out from a position directly below the lower surface of the seating floor 5 to a rearward position on the lower surface, and thus can be moved. Can be configured as a very large one whose upper end is close to the lower surface of the seat floor 5.

That is, even when the article container 7 is large in size, it is slid to the rear lower position of the seating floor 5 during use, so that the entire opening surface is effectively used as an article storage port. Thus, it is possible to completely solve the problem in the article storage work caused by the narrow gap between the opening and the lower surface of the seating floor, which has been provided in conventional large baskets.

(2) As shown in FIG. 1, the article container 7 can have an opening surface sufficient to accommodate a purchased article at the time of use. It is also possible to move the article container 7 to the lower surface position of the seating section 5 for storage, and to store the articles overflowing on the upper surface of the article container 7 on the lower surface of the seat panel 5. , The seat floor plate 5 can be used as if it functions as a lid plate, and an effect that cannot be expected with a conventional shopping basket can be achieved.

(3) The conventional shopping basket attached to a stroller has been assembled so as to automatically show a usable state by assembling the stroller body. However, the article container 7 of the present invention folds this when not necessary. Thus, the stroller 5 can be stored on the lower surface of the seat floor plate 5, so that the stroller can be used in a compact state as a whole even when the article container is not used.

(4) The folding operation of the article container 6 can be performed by an extremely simple operation of merely pulling the bottom plate 74 in the direction of the frame rod 71 and then moving the article to the lower surface position of the seating floor 5 for storage. is there.
