  FIGS. 7A and 7B are enlarged views of the front wheel portion and the rear wheel portion of the stroller according to the present invention. Caster holders 40a and 40b are fixed to lower ends of the front leg 12 and the rear leg 14 of the stroller, respectively. The caster holders 40a and 40b are formed with bent vertical portions in the lower half of the caster holders 40a and 40b. The vertical portions of the caster holders 40a and 40b have columnar cavities 41a with lower end surfaces open. 41b is formed. In the voids 41a and 41b, caster shafts 43a and 43b projecting from the caster bodies 42a and 42b pivotally supporting the front wheels 11 or 13 by the horizontal shafts 11a and 13a on one side are provided on the caster holders 40a and 40b. It is mounted so that it can rotate around its axis. Step portions 44a and 44b are formed at the lower portions of the caster shafts 43a and 43b of the caster main bodies 42a and 42b so as to contact the lower end edges of the caster holders 40a and 40b. Concave portions 45a and 45b are formed in which a locking member, which will be described later, is engaged when the rear wheel 13 is directed in the straight traveling direction.

  On the other hand, lock member accommodating portions 46a, 46b extending in the vertical direction are formed on the opposite side surfaces of the front wheel side caster holder 40a and the rear wheel side caster holder 40b, and the lock member accommodating portions 46a, 46b The lock members 47a and 47b are slidable up and down. The lock members 47a and 47b are biased downward by springs 48a and 48b, respectively.

  One end of each of the lead wires 50a and 50b is connected to the lock members 47a and 47b, respectively. The lead wire 50a connected to the lock member 47a on the front wheel side is inserted into the front leg 12. Similarly, the lead wire 50b connected to the rear wheel side locking member 46b is inserted into the rear leg 13, and the other end of the lead wire 50b passes through the armrest 16 as shown in FIG. It is inserted into the front leg 12 and is connected to the lead wire 50a on the front wheel side within the front leg 12 by a connector 51 (FIG. 8).

  FIGS. 8A and 8B are enlarged sectional views showing details of the connecting portion between the lead wire 50a and the lead wire 50b, and the end portions of the lead wire 50a and the lead wire 50b are mounted in the front leg 12. FIG. The connecting tool 51 is slidably disposed along the front leg 12. That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, a connector guide member 53 disposed in the front leg 12 is mounted on a pivot 52 that pivotally attaches the top end of the front leg 12 to the armrest 16, and the connection In the long groove 53a formed in the tool guide member 53, the connecting tool 51 is slidable along the long groove 53a. Further, a lock switching operation member 54 is slidably fitted to the front leg 12, and the coupling tool 51 and the lock switching operation member 54 are connected by a shaft 55 inserted through the long groove 12 a of the front leg 12. . The connector 51 is urged upward by a spring 56 provided between the connector 51 and the connector guide member 53. The lock switching operation member 54 (not shown in FIG. 1) is integrally provided with a projecting piece 54a (not shown in FIG. 1) that protrudes outward. A protrusion 57 (FIG. 8B) provided on the flange 15 abuts on the protrusion 54 a, and the connector 51 is moved downward against the spring 56 via the lock switching operation member 54. It is like that.

  Thus, when the hand bar 15 is tilted rearward as shown in FIG. 2 and is in the rear hand pressed state, as shown in FIG. 7A, the lock member 47a is pulled upward by the spring 56 via the lead wire 50a. Then, the lock of the caster body 42a in the front wheel 11 is released. Therefore, the rotation of the front wheel 11 around the vertical axis is free. On the other hand, at this time, the lock member 47b on the rear wheel 13 side is moved downward by the spring 48b and engaged with the recess 45b of the caster shaft 43b of the caster body 42b on the rear wheel side. Therefore, the caster main body 42b of the rear wheel 13 is locked, and the rotation of the rear wheel 13 around the vertical axis is prevented. In this way, only the front wheel 11 can turn in the case of pushing the back, and the stroller can be steered freely.

  Further, when the hand barb 15 is swung forward as shown in FIG. 6 to be in a face-to-face pressing state, the protrusion 57 provided on the handbarb 15 abuts on the protrusion 54a of the lock switching operation member 54 and locks. The switching operation member 54 is pressed downward. Therefore, the lock member 48a is pressed downward by the spring 48a, the lock member 47a engages with the recess 45a of the caster body 42a as shown in FIG. 9A, and the caster body 42a is locked. On the other hand, at this time, the lock member 47b on the rear wheel 13 side is pulled upward by the lead wire 50b, and the lock with the recess 54b is released as shown in FIG. 9B. Therefore, the caster body 42b of the rear wheel 13 on the front side in the traveling direction can be rotated around the vertical axis, and the caster body 42a of the front wheel 11 on the rear side in the traveling direction is locked.

  In this manner, only the front wheels in the advancing direction can turn in either the back-pressing or face-to-face pressing state, and the turning of the rear-side wheels is locked. The steering property can be improved in any of the pushed states.

  FIG. 10 is a view showing a modified example of the present invention. A caster holder 40a fixed to the lower end portion of the front leg 12 is formed with a cylindrical space 60 having an open lower end surface. Inside, a caster shaft 43 a that pivotally supports the front wheel 11 by a horizontal shaft 11 a is mounted on one side so as to be rotatable about its axis and slidable along the inner surface of the space 60.

  A concave portion 61 extending in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer surface of the upper portion of the caster shaft 43a, and a regulating pin 62 extending in the horizontal direction provided in the caster holder 40a is inserted into the concave portion 61, and The sliding range in the vertical direction of the caster shaft 43a is restricted by the engagement between the lower step portion and the restriction pin 62. The caster shaft 43a is provided with a front wheel straight-running state position fixing pin 63 capable of moving forward and backward in the radial direction of the caster shaft 43a, and is attached so as to protrude outward by a spring 64 attached in the caster shaft 43a. It is energized.

  On the other hand, the front wheel position fixing pin 63 engages with the lower inner surface of the space 60 of the caster holder 40a when the caster shaft 43a is in the lower position together with the front wheel 11 and the front wheel 11 is directed straightly. A concave groove 65 is provided. The concave groove 65 extends in the axial direction, and an upper end portion of the concave groove 65 is inclined toward the inner surface side of the space 60 of the caster holder 40a.

  Thus, since the front wheel 11 is grounded when the stroller is used, the front leg 12 moves downward, that is, the caster shaft 43a is positioned at an upper position relative to the caster holder 40a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the front wheel position fixing pin 63 is in contact with the inner surface of the space 60 and is rotatable along the inner surface.

  On the other hand, when the front wheel 11 is lifted upward by a hand-claw when the stroller is folded, the front wheel 11 is lowered together with the caster shaft 43a with respect to the caster holder 40a by its own weight. Therefore, when the front wheel 11 swings in this state and moves in the straight direction, as shown in FIG. 11, the front wheel straight movement state position fixing pin 63 protrudes by the spring 64 and engages with the groove 65, and the front wheel 11 moves straight. It is fixed in the direction facing the direction. For this reason, when the stroller is folded, it is possible to prevent the front wheels supported by the caster shaft 43a from being forcibly folded in a state where the stroller is not in the straight traveling position.
