1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sunshade device, and more particularly to a sunshade device for a stroller.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional sunshade device 1 for a stroller in accordance with the prior art shown in
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a sunshade device for a stroller, comprising:
two connecting mechanisms each including a support member, a first pivot member mounted on the support member, and a second pivot member mounted on the support member;
a first support bracket having two ends each pivotally mounted on the first pivot member of a respective one of the two connecting mechanisms; and
a second support bracket having two ends each pivotally mounted on the second pivot member of a respective one of the two connecting mechanisms.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a sunshade device that is operated in a safe manner when being folded to prevent from causing danger to a user.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sunshade device for a stroller, wherein the first pivot member and the second pivot member are spaced from each other and are mounted on different sides of the support member, so that when the first support bracket is moved toward the second support bracket, the first support bracket is spaced from the second support bracket with a determined distance, thereby preventing a user's finger from being clamped and hurt by the first support bracket and the second support bracket when the sunshade device is folded so as to protect the user's safety.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings and initially to
The sunshade device 3 includes two connecting mechanisms 6 each mounted on the frame 2 and each including a support member 61 attached to the frame 2, a first pivot member 62 mounted on the support member 61, and a second pivot member 63 mounted on the support member 61 and spaced from the first pivot member 62, a substantially U-shaped first support bracket 4 having two ends each pivotally mounted on the first pivot member 62 of a respective one of the two connecting mechanisms 6, and a substantially U-shaped second support bracket 5 having two ends each pivotally mounted on the second pivot member 63 of a respective one of the two connecting mechanisms 6.
The sunshade device 3 further includes a canopy 7 mounted between the first support bracket 4 and the second support bracket 5. The support member 61 has a side formed with a coupling portion 64 secured on the frame 2. Preferably, the first pivot member 62 and the second pivot member 63 are mounted on different sides of the support member 61. Preferably, the first pivot member 62 is mounted on a first side of the support member 61, and the second pivot member 63 is mounted on a second side of the support member 61.
