This application is based upon and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 from China Patent Application No. 201710028448.8 filed on Jan. 16, 2017, which is hereby specifically incorporated herein by this reference thereto.
The present invention relates to a baby carriage.
The baby carriage is a fairly common tool for families with babies or children today, which prevents the parents from holding the baby all the time and keeps their hands or shoulders free while moving. A conventional baby carriage with double seats is also developed for accommodating two babies.
However, the two seats of the aforementioned baby carriage are fixed and unmovable. Thus, as the baby grows, the spaces of the baby carriage may be insufficient for the baby or the child.
In addition, for families having babies or children, the baby car basket or the child car safety seat are also common tools. But when the baby car basket or the child car safety seat is put on one of the two seats of the baby carriage, the baby car basket or the child car safety seat may extend to the other seat due to the large volume, and thus none of the two seats can accommodate the baby or the child, which is inconvenient.
As a result, the fixed and unmovable seats of the conventional baby carriage cause inconvenience in use, and need to be improved.
It is to be understood that the disclosure of the information in this background is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention and should not be regarded as admitting or in any way hinting that the information constitutes a prior art that is known to those skilled in the art.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a baby carriage and a carriage frame thereof to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a baby carriage and a carriage frame thereof that can improve the ride experience for the baby or the child, and improve the adaptability to various situations and reliability. The carriage frame has a frame body, multiple wheels, a front-seat panel, a rear-seat panel, and at least one rear-seat fixing assembly. The wheels are mounted on the frame body. The front-seat panel is mounted on the frame body. The rear-seat panel is front-and-rear moveably mounted on the frame body, is disposed in back of the front-seat panel, and has at least one clamping recess. The at least one clamping recess is formed in a bottom of the rear-seat panel, is disposed adjacent to one of two transverse sides of the rear-seat panel, and is downwardly disposed around the frame body. The at least one rear-seat fixing assembly corresponds to the at least one clamping recess. Each one of the at least one rear-seat fixing assembly has a seat pivot frame and a seat clamping panel. One of two sides of the seat pivot frame is pivotally connected to the bottom of the rear-seat panel and is disposed adjacent to the corresponding clamping recess. The seat pivot frame is rotatable to be disposed below the corresponding clamping recess. The seat clamping panel is pivotally connected to the other side of the seat pivot frame, and has a seat eccentric part. The seat eccentric part selectively abuts tightly against the transverse side that the corresponding clamping recess is disposed adjacent to, so as to fix the rear-seat panel on the frame body.
As mentioned above, the rear-seat fixing assembly has a seat pivot frame and a seat clamping panel, and the seat clamping panel is mounted with a seat eccentric part. The relative rotation between the seat eccentric part and the seat pivot frame makes the seat eccentric part tightly abut the rear-seat panel to fix the rear-seat panel on the frame body, which is convenient and quick in use, is reliable, and is easy to separate the rear-seat panel from the frame body.
The clamping recess on a bottom of the rear-seat panel also enables the rear-seat panel to move continuously front-and-rear along the frame body in one step. When the rear-seat panel is moved to any suitable position, the rear-seat panel can be quickly and stably fixed on the frame body. When the baby or the child grows up, or when the baby car basket or the child safety seat is put on to be above the front-seat panel, the rear-seat panel can be moved backward to enlarge the space between the front-panel and the rear-seat panel, such that the baby or the child still can sit on the rear-seat panel. The present invention can be adapted to various situations and has various ways of use.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
