The scope of the present invention relates to a reversible baby stroller with a brake structure. The frame of the baby stroller has a reversible handlebar. Besides, the handlebar has an actuated member, and is connected between the actuated member and the brake mechanism through the flexible wire. Further, whether the handlebar is in the position of the front or the rear, the user can use the actuated member to control the brake mechanism.
The conventional baby stroller usually has a handlebar for the user to push. The fixed type handlebar is positioned behind the rear of the frame seat in the baby stroller, and is convenient for the user to push the baby stroller from the rear. Further, the rear legs having a brake apparatus, in other words said brake apparatus is positioned on the lower side of the handlebar, which can be controlled for movement and to stop the baby stroller. Since the fixed type handlebar is pushed by the user from the rear of the seat, the baby cannot see the user and feels unsecure and unstable.
Besides, some baby strollers use the reversible handlebar. The handlebar is jointed on the frame, and selectively fixed by either face or back to the baby for further pushing the baby stroller. However, when the handlebar is changed to face the baby as a pushing position, the user is required to choose another side to operate the brake apparatus, and has more trouble in the operation. This is because the original brake apparatus is positioned on the lower side of rear leg. In order to overcome the above problem, some of the front wheel sets have the brake apparatus. However, this method is not only a waste, but also causes confusion and inconvenience to the user. Similarly, the user can not recognize which set has already been released or is in the brake status.
According to the above mentioned descriptions, the conventional reversible baby stroller with a brake structure has an inconvenient operation and expensive cost. The present invention relating to a reversible baby stroller with a brake structure can overcome the above disadvantages. The handlebar in the present invention has an actuated member. The flexible wire is connected between the actuated member and either front or rear brake mechanism, and said actuated member can control the brake mechanism as well as select the baby stroller in either movement or stop status. The actuated member and the flexible wire are both positioned on the handlebar. Therefore, the actuated member moves along the handlebar when the user changes the direction of the handlebar. Further, the user can operate the actuated member through the flexible wire to drive the brake mechanism as well as to achieve convenience.
These and other modifications and advantages will become even more apparent from the following detained description of a preferred embodiment of the invention and from the drawings in which:
Please refer to
The above mentioned frame (10) of the baby stroller consists of multiple tubes, and the wheel set (11) is joined with wheel (12) for movement. Besides, it also includes a seat portion (13) for baby to sit. Further, the frame of the baby stroller (10) includes a joint portion (14), a front positioning portion (15), a rear positioning portion (16), and a handlebar (1). Please refer to

According to the above mentioned components, the user can select the handlebar (1) positioning either in the front positioning portion (15) or in the rear positioning portion (16) for either facing or backing the baby, and pushing the handlebar (1) to move the frame (10) of the baby stroller. Since the actuated member (31) is positioned on the handlebar (1) and the flexible wire (32) is along the handlebar, the said actuated member (31) and the flexible wire (32) move along the handlebar (1), but do not affect the brake function. When the user wants to brake, the actuated member (31) is first pulled. When the brakebar (22) or the brake pad are pulled through the flexible wire (32), either said brakebar (22) or the brake pad makes the brake on the wheel (12). The said actuated member (31) is positioned in the positioning location (311) as well as being fixed, the said brakebar (22) makes the wheel (22) remain in the brake status. For releasing, the actuated member (31) is also pulled to the released position (312). Further, the elastic member (24) assists the brakebar (22) or the brake pad to release the limitation on the wheel (12).
It will be appreciated that, although a specific embodiment of the invention has been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not limited except as by the appended claims.
