The length LX to the end portion is longer than the longest distance LY from the rotation center to the outer circumference of the rear leg 62 held by the front leg 60. Therefore, when the baby carriage 10 (the baby carriage main body 20) is folded, the first stand element 71 extends more than the front wheel 61 in the side view.

The first stand element 71 shown in FIG. 4 has a first bar member 71a connected to the front connecting portion 52 and an end member 71b attached to the rear end portion of the first bar member 71a. .. The end member 71b covers the rear end of the first bar member 71a. The end member 71b has an end portion 71ba located at the rear end and a protruding portion 71bb located in front of the end portion 71ba and protruding upward. The end member 71b is connected to the second stand element 72 at the protruding portion 71bb. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the stand member 70 is bent, the end portion 71ba protrudes and comes into contact with the ground. For example, the first bar material 71a is made of a metal tubular material, and the end member 71b is made of a resin molded product.

Next, the storage basket 12 and the seat member 15 attached to the baby carriage main body 20 having the above configuration will be described. The storage basket 12 and the seat member 15 are deformed together with the baby carriage main body 20 when the baby carriage 10 is folded. Therefore, the storage basket 12 and the seat member 15 are made of a flexible material such as a cloth material, and have a structure that can be deformed with the baby carriage main body 20.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the storage car 12 is attached to the front-rear connecting portion 53 and the rear leg 62 of the central link member 50. Further, the storage basket 12 is supported from below by the stand member 70. By supporting it by the stand member 70, the shape of the storage basket 12 having a deformable structure can be stabilized. As a result, the storage basket 12 can be increased in volume to improve the storage capacity.

Next, the seat member 15 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the seat member 15 has a seat portion 15A supported by the seat support 40 and a back portion 15B connected to the seat portion 15A. The seat portion 15A faces the buttocks of the infant riding the baby carriage 10 from below. The back portion 15B faces the back of the baby in the baby carriage 10 from behind. In the illustrated example, the lower end portion of the back portion 15B is connected to the rear end portion of the seat portion 15A. The back portion 15B can swing with respect to the seat portion 15A. By swinging the back portion 15B with respect to the seat portion 15A, the reclining operation of the seat member 15 is possible. The seat member 15 further has an adjusting member 18 that passes behind the back portion 15B and is attached to the shaft portion 31a of the handle 30. The adjusting member 18 is a string-shaped member. By adjusting the length of the adjusting member 18, the inclination angle of the back portion 15B with respect to the seat portion 15A, that is, the reclining angle can be adjusted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the seat member 15 includes a side member 16 that faces the infant from the side. A pair of side members 16 are provided on both outer sides of the seat portion 15A and the back portion 15B in the width direction. The side member 16 is connected to, for example, sewn to the seat portion 15A and the back portion 15B. The pair of side members 16 are expected to protect the baby in the baby carriage 10 from both sides and to hold the baby from both sides.

Each side member 16 is attached to the seat support 40 and the handle 30. In the illustrated example, each side member 16 has a side portion 41a of a seat frame 41 located on the same side in the width direction and a shaft of a handle body 31 located on the same side in the width direction by the fixing means 16a. It is fixed to the portion 31a. The bendable position of the handle 30 (the position of the bending axis BA) is located between the position where the seat support 40 is connected to the handle 30 and the position where the side member 16 is connected to the handle 30. In particular, in the illustrated example, the side member 16 can be maintained in a stretched state between the side portion 41a of the seat frame 41 and the shaft portion 31a of the handle body 31. Such a side member 16 is located in front of the connection position of the seat support 40 with the handle 30 (the position of the first rotation axis RA1) and the connection position of the handle 30 with the seat support 40 (the position of the handle 30). It functions as a connecting reinforcing means 17 that connects between the position above the first rotation axis RA1) and the front portion of the seat support 40 connected to the handle 30 at the rear end portion. lift. The seat support 40 can be stably supported by the side member 16 that functions as the connection reinforcing means 17.

Further, the side member 16 shown in FIG. 3 includes a reinforcing member 16b at a position between the fixed position on the seat support 40 and the fixed position on the handle 30. The reinforcing member 16b locally strengthens the rigidity of the side member 16. That is, the rigidity of the side member 16 at the position where the reinforcing member 16b is provided is higher than the rigidity of the side member 16 at the position where the reinforcing member 16b is not provided. Therefore, by providing the side member 16, the front portion of the seat support 40 can be lifted more stably and upward. In particular, the illustrated reinforcing member 16b is composed of a wire or a belt material, and is said to be formed along a straight line connecting a fixed position of the side member 16 to the seat support 40 and a fixing position of the side member 16 to the handle 30. It is arranged on a straight line. Therefore, the side member 16 can be efficiently reinforced to stably support the seat support 40.

The baby carriage 10 having the above configuration can be folded by relatively rotating each component of the baby carriage main body 20. Specifically, the baby carriage 10 can be folded by grasping the handle 30 and operating the baby carriage 10 as described below. By folding the baby carriage 10, the dimensions of the baby carriage 10 can be reduced to a size suitable for storage, transportation, and the like.

First, the handle 30 is once pulled up backward and upward. Then, by lowering the handle 30 downward, the fourth link 24 composed of the bracket member 67 is rotated clockwise with respect to the rear leg 62 in FIG. With this operation, the first link 21 and the third link 23 rotate clockwise with respect to the handle 30 in FIG. As a result, the handle 30 and the front legs 60 approach each other while maintaining a substantially parallel arrangement in the side view, and the position of the handle 30 is lowered.

Further, the seat support 40 rotatably connected to the handle 30 is connected to the first link 21 via the second link 22 made of the support frame member 55. Therefore, the operation of the first link 21 during the folding operation of the baby carriage 10 is transmitted to the seat support 40 via the second link 22. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the seat support 40 rotates clockwise with respect to the handle 30 in a side view and approaches the handle 30.

In addition, in the stand member 70, as the front legs 60 and the rear legs 62 approach each other, the connection positions of the first stand element 71 and the second stand element 72 (positions of the ninth rotation axis RA9) project downward. , Bend.

As a result, the baby carriage 10 can be folded into the first folded state shown in FIG. 5, and the dimensions in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction can be reduced. As shown in FIG. 5, the baby carriage 10 in the first folded state can stand up with the stand member 70 and the pair of rear wheels 63 in contact with the ground. In order to unfold the baby carriage 10 from the first folded state shown in FIG. 5 to the unfolded state, the procedure reverse to the above-mentioned folding operation may be performed.

Next, the handle 30 is bent by rotating the second handle element 33 about the bending axis BA with respect to the first handle element 32 of the handle body 31. As a result, the baby carriage 10 can be brought into the second folded state shown in FIG. 6 and the dimensions in the vertical direction can be significantly reduced. As shown in FIG. 6, the baby carriage 10 in the second folded state can stand up with the stand member 70 and the pair of rear wheels 63 in contact with the ground. In order to deploy the baby carriage 10 from the second folded state shown in FIG. 6 to the first folded state shown in FIG. 5, the procedure reverse to the above-mentioned folding operation may be performed.

In the baby carriage 10 described above, the seat support 40 is arranged above the link configuration for folding the handle 30, the front legs 60, and the rear legs 62 of the baby carriage main body 20. In particular, the seat support 40 is located above the first link 21 and further above the third link 23. Therefore, the seat support 40 can be held in a high position. By raising the holding position of the seat support 40 high, the infant sitting on the seat support 40 can be separated from the running surface of the baby carriage 10. As a result, it is possible to protect the baby who got on the baby carriage 10 from radiant heat from the traveling surface, dust on the traveling surface, and the like, and it is possible to improve the riding comfort.

By the way, the baby carriage main body 20 has a first folding restricting member 26 and a second folding restricting member 27 in order to regulate an unintended folding operation. The first folding restricting member 26 is supported by the handle 30 and regulates the relative movement between the handle 30 and other components. The first folding restricting member 26 regulates the relative movement between the handle 30 and any of the other components, and thereby, for example, one of the first to fourth links 21 to 24, the front leg 60, and the rear leg 62. By regulating the relative movement with the handle 30, the folding movement of the baby carriage 10 can be regulated. The second folding restricting member 27 is supported by the handle 30 and restricts the bending of the handle 30.

In the illustrated baby carriage 10, the first folding restricting member 26 supported by the handle 30 is urged downward by an urging means (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the downwardly urged first folding restricting member 26 projects downward from the handle 30 and enters the recess 62c provided in the rear leg 62. The relative movement between the handle 30 and the rear leg 62 is restricted by the engagement between the first folding restricting member 26 supported by the handle 30 and the recess 62c of the rear leg 62. In addition, in the illustrated example, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7B, the first folding restricting member 26 projects inward in the width direction from the handle 30. The downwardly urged first folding restricting member 26 enters the notch 24a of the fourth link 24 configured by the bracket member 67. The relative movement between the handle 30 and the fourth link 24 is restricted by the engagement between the first folding restricting member 26 supported by the handle 30 and the notch 24a of the fourth link 24. According to the first folding restricting member 26, the folding operation of the baby carriage 10 due to the relative rotation of the handle 30 with respect to the seat support 40 can be regulated. The restriction on the folding operation by the first folding restricting member 26 is released by pulling up the first folding restricting member 26.

As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the second folding restricting member 27 is arranged at a connection point between the first handle element 32 and the second handle element 33 of the handle body 31. The first handle element 32 has a first rotating housing 32a, and the second handle element 33 has a second rotating housing 33a. The first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a are rotatably connected to each other about the bending axis BA. The second folding restricting member 27 is provided in the housing formed by the first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a. The first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a are arranged in the width direction. The second folding restricting member 27 is held in the second rotating housing 33a so as to be movable in the width direction. The second folding restricting member 27 is urged toward the first rotating housing 32a along the width direction by the urging means 35. The second folding restricting member 27 is positioned so as to straddle both the first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a, so that the bending axis BA of the first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a Relative rotation around is regulated. Therefore, by pushing the second folding restricting member 27 into the second rotating housing 33a, the bending restriction of the handle 30 can be released.

The first folding restricting member 26 and the second folding restricting member 27 can be operated by the remote control device 34 provided on the handle 30. The remote control device 34 has an operation unit 34a configured as, for example, an operation lever. The operation of the operation unit 34a is transmitted to both the first folding restricting member 26 and the second folding restricting member 27 via the transmitting means 38. That is, by operating the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34, the restrictions on both the first folding restricting member 26 and the second folding restricting member 27 can be released.

In the example shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the transmission means 38 includes a first transmission wire 38A, a second transmission wire 38B, and an intermediate operating member 38C. The intermediate operating member 38C is arranged between the first transmission wire 38A and the second transmission wire 38B. The first transmission wire 38A is connected to the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34 and the intermediate operation member 38C at both ends thereof. The second transmission wire 38B is connected to the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34 and the first folding restricting member 26 at both ends thereof. The intermediate operating member 38C is located in a housing formed by the first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a. In this housing, the intermediate operating member 38C is located adjacent to the second folding restricting member 27 in the width direction.

Further, the first transmission wire 38A and the second transmission wire 38B are respectively arranged in a cylindrical member (not shown). Both ends of a cylindrical member (not shown) are fixed to the handle 30. The first transmission wire 38A and the second transmission wire 38B are located outside the tubular member at both ends thereof, but the arrangement of the tubular member is adjusted so as not to loosen outside the tubular member. Therefore, the operating amount of the intermediate operating member 38C and the operating amount of the first folding restricting member 26 are determined according to the operating amount of the operating unit 34a of the remote control device 34.

The intermediate operating member 38C is held in the first rotating housing 32a of the first handle element 32. The intermediate operation member 38C moves in the longitudinal direction of the handle 30 by a length corresponding to the amount of operation of the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34. Further, the intermediate operating member 38C has a convex portion 38Ca that can come into contact with the convex portion 32b provided on the first rotating housing 32a. When the convex portion 38Ca of the intermediate operating member 38C and the convex portion 32b of the first rotating housing 32a come into contact with each other, the intermediate operating member 38C moves outward in the width direction into the first rotating housing 32a. The second folding restricting member 27 is urged inward in the width direction by the urging means 35 and pressed toward the intermediate operating member 38C. By moving the intermediate operating member 38C outward in the width direction, it is possible to push the second folding restricting member 27 outward in the width direction to release the bending restriction of the handle 30 by the second folding restricting member 27.

In the illustrated baby carriage 10, when the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34 is operated by the first operation amount (see FIG. 7B), the first operation is restricted by the second folding restricting member 27 while the bending of the handle 30 is restricted. The restriction on the rotation of the handle 30 with respect to the first link 21 by the folding restriction member 26 is released. Specifically, when the operation unit 34a is operated by the first operation amount from the state shown in FIG. 7A to the state shown in FIG. 7B, the first folding restricting member 26 can be pulled up via the transmission means 38. As a result, the first folding restricting member 26 can be pulled up from the recess 62c of the rear leg 62, and the first folding restricting member 26 can be pulled up from the notch 24a of the fourth link 24. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7B, the convex portion 38Ca of the intermediate operating member 38C has not yet come into contact with the convex portion 32b of the first rotating housing 32a. Therefore, the intermediate operating member 38C and the second folding restricting member 27 do not move in the width direction. The second folding restricting member 27 is located so as to straddle the first rotating housing 32a and the second rotating housing 33a, and restricts the bending of the handle 30.

Next, when the operation unit 34a is further operated from the state shown in FIG. 7B to the state shown in FIG. 7C, the intermediate operation member 38C is further pulled up via the transmission means 38, and the convex portion 38Ca of the intermediate operation member 38C is raised. 2 It can be brought into contact with the convex portion 32b of the rotating housing 33a. The intermediate operating member 38C can be moved outward in the width direction by the contact between the convex portion 38Ca and the convex portion 32b. As a result, the second folding restricting member 27 can be pushed into the second rotating housing 33a via the intermediate operating member 38C, and the bending restriction of the handle 30 can be released. That is, when the operation unit 34a of the remote control device 34 is operated by the second operation amount larger than the first operation amount from the state shown in FIG. 7A to the state shown in FIG. 7B, the first folding restricting member 26 is used. The restriction on the rotation of the handle 30 with respect to the first link 21 can be released, and the restriction on the bending of the handle 30 by the second folding restricting member 27 can be released.

In the baby carriage 10, both the release state of the baby carriage 10 and the release state of the handle 30 can be realized by operating one remote control device 34. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability of the baby carriage 10 which can reduce the size at the time of the folding operation.

In the specific example of the above-described embodiment, when the remote control device 34 is operated by the first operation amount, the first folding regulation member 26 keeps the bending of the handle 30 restricted by the second folding regulation member 27. The restriction on the rotation of the handle 30 with respect to the first link 21 is lifted. Further, when the remote control device 34 is operated by a second operation amount larger than the first operation amount, the restriction on the rotation of the handle 30 with respect to the first link 21 by the first folding restricting member 26 is released, and the second operation amount is released. The restriction on bending of the handle 30 by the folding restriction member 27 is released. That is, after starting the operation of the remote control device 34, the baby carriage 10 can be folded first. After that, the handle 30 can be bent by further continuing the operation of the remote control device 34. Therefore, the dimensions of the stroller 10 in the folded state can be gradually reduced according to the storage space of the stroller 10. Further, since the bending of the handle 30 is restricted at the start of the folding operation of the baby carriage 10, the baby carriage 10 can be stably folded while gripping the handle 30.
