This application claims priority of Chinese Application No. 201410007016,5, filed on Jan. 7, 2014.
The disclosure relates to an infant care device, more particularly to an infant seat that can be mounted detachably to a stroller.
A conventional separable infant stroller assembly includes a stroller and an infant seat mounted detachably to the stroller. The infant seat can be carried by the stroller, or be detached from the stroller and mounted to a car seat. However, such an infant stroller assembly may have a complex structure, or may be operated in a difficult way.
Therefore, the object of the present disclosure is to provide an infant care device that can overcome the aforesaid drawback associated with the prior art.
Accordingly, an infant care device of the present disclosure is mounted detachably to a mounting seat. The mounting seat has an insertion portion. The infant care device includes a casing, a latch member, a driving member and a first resilient member. The casing has an insertion space that has an opening permitting the insertion portion to be inserted removably into the insertion space therethrough. The latch member is mounted to the casing, and is movable relative to the casing in a left-right direction of the infant care device between a locking position where the latch member engages the insertion portion to confine the insertion portion in the insertion space, and an unlocking posit ion where the latch member is disengaged from the insertion portion such that the insertion portion is removable from the insertion space. The driving member is mounted movably to the casing and has a cam portion. The driving member is able to be pushed to move the cam portion from a release position to a pushing position in a front-rear direction of the infant care device for driving movement of the latch member relative to the casing. The first resilient member is connected between the casing and the latch member, and biases resiliently the latch member toward the locking position, so as to prevent relative movement between the infant care device and the mounting seat. When the driving member is pushed to move the cam portion to the pushing position, the latch member is pushed, by the cam portion to move to the unlocking position against the biasing action of the first resilient member to disengage the latch member from the insertion portion, so as to permit the relative movement between the infant care device and the mounting seat.
Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent in the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Before the present disclosure is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
As shown in
The casing 4 has an insertion space 41 that has a bottom opening 43. The insertion portion 201 of the stroller 200 is inserted removably into the insertion space 41 through the bottom opening 43.
The latch member 1 is mounted to the casing 4, and is movable relative to the casing 4 in a left-right direction of the infant care device 100 between a locking position (see
The driving member 2 is connected pivotally to the casing 4, and has a cam portion 21. The driving member 2 is able to be pushed to move the cam portion 21 from a release position (see
The first resilient member 3 is connected between the casing 4 and the latch member 1 and biases resiliently the latch member 1 to the looking position, so that relative movement between the infant care device 100 and the stroller 200 is prevented. In this embodiment, the first resilient member 3 is configured as a compression spring, and has opposite ends that are respectively connected to an inner surface of the casing 4 and one side of the latch member 1 opposite to the cam portion 21 of the driving member 2 (see
When the driving member 2 is pushed to move the cam portion 21 to the pushing position, the latch member 1 is pushed by the cam portion 21 to move to the unlocking position against the biasing action of the first resilient member 3 to disengage the latch member 1 from the insertion portion 201, so as to permit the relative movement between the infant care device 100 and the stroller 200.
Referring to
The driving member 2 has an L-shaped main body 20, a driven portion 23 and en elastic portion 24 (see
Referring to
When the infant care device 100 is mounted on the stroller 200, the elastic portion 24 of the driving member 2 is in a released state and the cam portion 21 is at the release position. At this time, the first-resilient member 3 biases the latch member 1 to engage the insertion portion 201 of the stroller 200, and the insertion portion 201 pushes the detecting portion 52 of the indicating member 5 to move the indicating member 5 to the mounted position against the biasing action of the second res if lent member 6, so that the green-colored first indicating region 53a is visible through the window 45.
To detach the infant care device 100 from the stroller 200, the operating member 7 is pressed to rotate the driving member 2, so that the elastic portion 24 is deformed to generate a restoring force, and the cam portion 21 is moved to the pushing position. At this time, the latch member 1 is moved to the unlocking position against the biasing action of the first resilient member 3 to disengage the engaging portion 11 from the annular recess 201a, so that the insertion portion 201 is removable from the insertion space 41. After removal, of the insertion portion. 201 from the insertion space 41, the cam portion 21 is restored to the release position by the elastic portion 24, and the latch member is biased by the first resilient member 3 to the locking position.
To mount the infant care device 100 on the stroller 200, the insertion portion 201 only needs to be aligned with the bottom opening 43 of the insertion space 41 and inserted into the insertion space 41. During the insertion, the insertion portion 201 first pushes the inclined end surface 11a to move the latch member 1 against the biasing action of the first resilient member 3, and then engages that latch member 1 through the biasing action of the first resilient member 3.
To sum up, the infant care device 100 of this disclosure has a simple structure and can be operated easily. A user only needs to press the operating member 7 to enable the infant care device 100 to be detached from the stroller 200, and to insert the insertion port ion 201 into the insertion space 41 to mount steadily the infant care device 100 on the stroller 200.
Referring to
While the present disclosure has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical embodiments, it is understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
