Abstract

Abstract A collapsible infant seat and stroller includes a central frame support having straps so that the frame may be carried as a backpack. A lower part of the frame includes wheels which may be moved between a first inactive position and a second active position. A handle-bar is provided which is pivotably attached to the upper part of the frame so that it may be positioned in a folded position, so that its length is adjacent the length of the frame, and a handle-bar position so that the frame may be pushed along the ground by means of the wheels. A seat is provided which is supported by a seat support member which is pivotably fixed to the upper part of the frame so that the seat may be positioned in an active position and an inactive position. A stabilizing leg is also provided so that the device may be used as a stationary seat.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 267 words
An infant seat comprising: a pair of spaced apart side members (1) each having upper and lower ends, each side member having at its lower end a bent laterally extending portion (1'); a pivot lever (4) pivotally connected to each laterally extending portion; a shaft (3) mounted between said pivot levers; a pair of wheels (2) mounted to said shaft for rotation, said pivot levers being pivotal between a raised position and a lowered position, said shaft and said wheels both being above said bent laterally extended portions with said pivot levers in their raised position, and being below said laterally extending portions with said pivot levers being in their lowered position, whereby with said pivot levers in their raised position, said wheels are peripherally protected by said bent laterally extended portions; a head (5) connected to said upper end of each side member; a bag support member (6) pivotally mounted between said heads; a seat bag (7) connected to and suspended from said seat bag support member; a cross member (9) connected between said side members for holding said side members apart, said cross member being connected between said side members at a location spaced away from said heads; a pair of shoulder straps (8) each connected between said seat bag support member and said cross member for permitting carrying of the infant seat on the shoulders of a person; and a U-shaped handle bar (10) connected between said heads for pivoting from a use position extending upwardly from said upper end of said side members and a folded position extending downwardly along said side members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 267 words
An infant seat comprising: a pair of spaced apart side members (1) each having upper and lower ends, each side member having at its lower end a bent laterally extending portion (1'); a pivot lever (4) pivotally connected to each laterally extending portion; a shaft (3) mounted between said pivot levers; a pair of wheels (2) mounted to said shaft for rotation, said pivot levers being pivotal between a raised position and a lowered position, said shaft and said wheels both being above said bent laterally extended portions with said pivot levers in their raised position, and being below said laterally extending portions with said pivot levers being in their lowered position, whereby with said pivot levers in their raised position, said wheels are peripherally protected by said bent laterally extended portions; a head (5) connected to said upper end of each side member; a bag support member (6) pivotally mounted between said heads; a seat bag (7) connected to and suspended from said seat bag support member; a cross member (9) connected between said side members for holding said side members apart, said cross member being connected between said side members at a location spaced away from said heads; a pair of shoulder straps (8) each connected between said seat bag support member and said cross member for permitting carrying of the infant seat on the shoulders of a person; and a U-shaped handle bar (10) connected between said heads for pivoting from a use position extending upwardly from said upper end of said side members and a folded position extending downwardly along said side members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
An infant seat according to claim 1, wherein said seat supporting member comprises a U-shaped member connected between said heads, said heads including means for supporting said U-shaped member at a use position for extending said bag seat for use by an infant, and a folded position extending substantially parallel to said side members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 61 words
An infant seat according to claim 2, including a U-shaped leg member (11) pivotally mounted between said side members at intermediate locations on said side members between upper and lower ends thereof, said leg member being pivotally connected for movement between a support position spaced away from said wheels for supporting the infant seat, and a folded position adjacent said wheels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 61 words
An infant seat according to claim 1, including a U-shaped leg member (11) pivotally mounted between said side members at intermediate locations on said side members between upper and lower ends thereof, said leg member being pivotally connected for movement between a support position spaced away from said wheels for supporting the infant seat, and a folded position adjacent said wheels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 47 words
An infant seat according to claim 4, wherein, with said handle member and leg member folded, and said pivot lever in its raised position, said shaft is positioned between said leg member and said handle member on one side, and said side members on the other side.
