Abstract
Abstract A baby carriage comprises a front frame having a lower end with a front wheel set and one or more rear wheels which are supported on a bracket of the front frame so that they may be shifted rearwardly to an operating position or folded into a collapsed position. The rear wheels are also carried on rods which may be pivoted in order to shift the rear wheels out of axial alignment with the running direction. The front frame also provides a pivotal support for a handle which comprises two U-shaped members which have first leg portions which are pivotal to a central upward extension of the front frame and mounted so that they may be shifted between an outwardly extending position in which they extend in opposite relative directions to provide a pushing handle and to a folded position in which they are overlapped and provide a carrying handle which may be carried by the operator''s arm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A baby carriage comprising a front frame having spaced apart legs adapted to carry a seat therebetween and having a lower end portion, a wheel rotatably supported on said lower end portion of each leg, at least one rear wheel supporting rod having a rear wheel rotatably supported thereon, a bracket carried on said front frame spaced upwardly from said front wheels and holding said rear wheel support rod, said rear wheel support rod being pivotal on said bracket between an obliquely and downwardly extending rear operative position to a forward position in which said rod with said rear wheel are collapsed adjacent said front frame, said front frame also having an upper portion with an intermediate upwardly converging section connected upwardly with two substantially parallel closely spaced terminal leg end portions which are secured together, and a combined carrying and pushing handle comprising two substantially U-shaped members each having a first leg rotatable in a respective one of said terminal leg end portions and including an intermediate web portion and a second leg portion connected to said intermediate web portion, said first leg portion being pivotal towards the selectively positioned said web portions to extend outwardly in respective opposite directions to form pushing handles and being rotatable on said terminal leg end portions to position said handles with said leg portions and said web portion in overlapping aligned relationship forming a carrying cane handle, and means for holding said handles in each of said carrying cane handle and pushing handle positions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
252 words
A baby carriage comprising a front frame having spaced apart legs adapted to carry a seat therebetween and having a lower end portion, a wheel rotatably supported on said lower end portion of each leg, at least one rear wheel supporting rod having a rear wheel rotatably supported thereon, a bracket carried on said front frame spaced upwardly from said front wheels and holding said rear wheel support rod, said rear wheel support rod being pivotal on said bracket between an obliquely and downwardly extending rear operative position to a forward position in which said rod with said rear wheel are collapsed adjacent said front frame, said front frame also having an upper portion with an intermediate upwardly converging section connected upwardly with two substantially parallel closely spaced terminal leg end portions which are secured together, and a combined carrying and pushing handle comprising two substantially U-shaped members each having a first leg rotatable in a respective one of said terminal leg end portions and including an intermediate web portion and a second leg portion connected to said intermediate web portion, said first leg portion being pivotal towards the selectively positioned said web portions to extend outwardly in respective opposite directions to form pushing handles and being rotatable on said terminal leg end portions to position said handles with said leg portions and said web portion in overlapping aligned relationship forming a carrying cane handle, and means for holding said handles in each of said carrying cane handle and pushing handle positions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A baby carriage, according to claim 1, wherein said front frame includes an upper and lower portion which are pivoted together, means for holding said upper and lower portion so that they extend substantially in the common plane and which is releaseable to permit the collapsing of said upper and lower portion into juxtaposition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein said terminal leg end portions are arranged in side by side abutment and secured by welding.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

A baby carriage, according to claim 3, wherein said rear wheel support rod is pivotal and rotatable on said bracket for pivotal movement in a forward and rear direction and also is also mounted in a rotatable manner in order to orient said rear wheel selectively in an axially aligned running position or in a non-axial aligned transverse holding position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
A baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein the width of said handles is such that when they are in a pushing handle position extending transversely in opposite directions they are substantially even with the width of said carriage at the location of the carriage seat.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein saiD bracket includes a hollow tube receiving portion, said rear wheel support rod extending into said hollow tube support portion, and spring means resiliently supporting said support rod in said hollow tube portion.
