Abstract
Abstract A seat for a baby's push chair, which can be removed from a wheeled support structure of the push chair and used separately if desired. The seat comprises a support surface with two upstanding side panels, an adjustable rake backrest and an adjustable foot rest. The back rest and foot rest are interlinked by a parallelogram linkage which automatically changes the foot rest inclination when the back rest is adjusted. This linkage abuts the foot rest but is not pivotally attached to it thus premitting the foot rest to be folded right up to a collapsed configuration, and also allows a wide range of adjustment of inclination of the foot rest to be effected.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
In a push chair, a seat comprising a support, a seat back, and a foot rest, said seat back and said foot rest being adjustable in inclination with respect to said support, and an articulated quadrilateral mechanism operatively connected between said foot rest and said seat back, said mechanism including a shaft and a link rod, said link rod rigid with said seat back and extending between said shaft and said support, said shaft having one end disposed towards said foot rest, said foot rest including at least one strut pivotally connected to said support, and guide means mounted to said shaft one end and including means to partially embrace opposite sides of said strut and to cooperate therewith in a slidable manner so that inclination of said seat back enables suitable inclination of said foot rest with respect to said support.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
In a push chair, a seat comprising a support, a seat back, and a foot rest, said seat back and said foot rest being adjustable in inclination with respect to said support, and an articulated quadrilateral mechanism operatively connected between said foot rest and said seat back, said mechanism including a shaft and a link rod, said link rod rigid with said seat back and extending between said shaft and said support, said shaft having one end disposed towards said foot rest, said foot rest including at least one strut pivotally connected to said support, and guide means mounted to said shaft one end and including means to partially embrace opposite sides of said strut and to cooperate therewith in a slidable manner so that inclination of said seat back enables suitable inclination of said foot rest with respect to said support.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A seat as claimed in claim 1, wherein said guide means includes a block having a substantially cylindrical surface portion slidably engageable with said strut, and a pair of projections disposed laterally of said surface and extending at right angles to the axis thereof defining a channel to partially embrace said strut.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A seat as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a pair of containment side panels disposed laterally of said support, the width of said foot rest being less than the distance between said side panels in order to allow said foot rest to be brought, following a rotation through a predetermined angle, into the space lying between said panels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A seat as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a pair of arm rests each of which is pivotable on one of said side panels and has a hollow shape for coupling with the upper part of the associated side panel, said arm rests being connected by a transverse bar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A seat according to claim 2, characterised by the fact that each of the said projections has a substantially annular form.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
A seat according to claim 1, in which the said seat back includes a pair of lateral wings, characterised by the fact that between each wing and the said seat back there is interposed at least one strip of deformable metal material which can be bent when the angular position of the wing is adjusted with respect to the seat back.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
91 words
A seat according to claim 1, characterised by the fact that it includes a pair of hooks fixed to the rear part of the seat back, each of which hooks includes a substantially rectilinear part and a pair of clamps fixed to the seat back and operable to connect the said hooks to it, each clamp comprising a seat to allow axial sliding and rotation of the said rectilinear part of a hook and locking means for locking the said part in a predetermined position with respect to the associated clamp.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
44 words
A seat according to claim 7, characterised by the fact that the said seat is formed between a pair of resiliently deformable fins of the said clamp and the said locking means comprise screw means operable to vary the distance between the said fins.
