Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a modular assembly of elements which allows a child's stroller to be constructed or a wheeled vehicle suitable for being ridden by a child to be obtained, depending on the configuration of the assembly of elements. Background Art

[0002] For parents, it is very useful to have a stroller for transporting the child for short periods of time (for example from home to kindergarten) and a wheeled vehicle with which the child can play after arriving at the kindergarten.

[0003] At present, the child stroller and the child wheeled vehicle are separate items that can be used interchangeably. Therefore, when the child is transported in the child stroller, the parent must carry the wheeled vehicle, which is a considerable burden considering the weight and volume of such a vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0004] There is currently no satisfactory solution on the market to this problem and the main object of the present invention is to provide such a solution, i.e. to provide an assembly of elements as described above, allowing a simple and rapid conversion from a "stroller" configuration to a "vehicle" configuration.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of components as described above so that the stroller can be folded into a smaller volume to facilitate storage or transportation of the assembly when not in use.

[0006] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an element assembly as described above which allows the child stroller to maintain the required stability without restricting the possibilities of using the vehicle for the child and without increasing the volume occupied by the element assembly in the folded state.

[0007] In order to achieve at least the above main objectives, the component assembly according to the present invention comprises:

[0008] - a subassembly formed by a stroller seat and a stroller handle, the seat comprising a base and a backrest, the base being connected to the stroller handle and being movable relative to the stroller handle between an unfolded state in which the base is adapted to receive a child and a folded state in which the base is adjacent to and extends along the handle; and

[0009] - a wheeled vehicle for children, forming the chassis and wheels of a child stroller in the "stroller" configuration, said vehicle comprising a body suitable for being ridden by a child, said body comprising at its front a grip handle suitable for being gripped by a child riding said body, and comprising means for mounting said stroller handle to said body, wherein,

[0010] The base is dimensioned to rest on the grab handle in the unfolded state so that the grab handle stably supports the base; in the folded state, the base is out of the way of the portion of the vehicle intended for riding by a child.

[0011] It will be appreciated that the wheeled vehicle is integrated into the stroller as a rolling chassis of the stroller. Like this, when parents transport children with the stroller and also want to have the wheeled vehicle available for children's entertainment, they do not have to carry the wheeled vehicle in addition.

[0012] In its unfolded position, the base can receive a child in a stable and safe manner; in its folded position, the child can ride on the vehicle and be pushed by the parent using the stroller handles.

[0013] The seat / stroller handle subassembly may not be removable relative to the body of the vehicle; however, this would result in the disadvantage that children would only be able to play with the seat / stroller handle subassembly if it was mounted on the wheeled vehicle, which would therefore be bulky and heavy; therefore, preferably, the means for mounting the stroller handle to the body of the vehicle are designed to allow removable mounting of the seat / stroller handle subassembly.

[0014] Thus, the subassembly may be detached relative to the wheeled vehicle, thereby allowing a child to have a vehicle comprising only the body, wheels and grab handles.

[0015] The base may simply rest on the grip handles; however, preferably, in order to prevent any risk of the base accidentally moving in certain circumstances, particularly if the stroller tips over, the element assembly includes means for connecting the base to the grip handles.

[0016] In this case, according to one possibility,

[0017] - the gripping handle is T-shaped, i.e. has an upper bar forming a "handlebar" equivalent, said upper bar comprising a first connection device at its end, and

[0018] - The base has a side portion capable of covering the end of the upper rod, and has a second connection device at the side portion capable of engaging with the first connection device to achieve the connection of the base with the grip handle.

[0019] The first connection means in question may for example consist of a threaded hole arranged in the end of the upper rod, and the second connection means then consist of a screw which can pass through the side of the base and be screwed into said hole.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention,

[0021] - the stroller handle has a lower part connected to an upper part by a pivot connection, the pivot connection allowing the stroller handle to be placed in an unfolded state for pushing the stroller or in a folded state in a position along the side of the body of the wheeled vehicle close to the body; and

[0022] - The base is pivotally connected to the pivot connection by a mounting tab which offsets a plane formed by the base relative to a pivot axis formed by the pivot connection, the offset allowing the base to cover the body of the vehicle in the folded state.

[0023] The element assembly according to the invention can thus have a reduced volume in this folded position, thereby facilitating storage or transport.

[0024] Preferably, the grab handle is positionable in two vertically staggered positions, a lowered position which allows the space occupied by the element assembly to be reduced when not in use, and a raised position which allows the grab handle to be positioned at a height suitable for grasping by a child riding the vehicle.

[0025] This arrangement allows a further reduction in the volume occupied by the component assembly when not in use.

[0026] In this case, according to a possible embodiment of the invention, the gripping handle comprises a column forming a tubular portion, while the body of the vehicle forms a tubular extension receiving the tubular portion in a telescopic manner and comprises fixing means allowing the tubular portion and the tubular extension to be fixed relative to each other in either of the two positions of the gripping handle.

[0027] These fixing means may specifically comprise corresponding holes of the tubular portion and of the tubular extension, and a locking pin capable of engaging in these holes, said holes coinciding with one another in either of the two said positions, said pin being associated with a spring allowing it to move between a position engaged in these holes and a position disengaged relative to these holes.

[0028] According to an optional embodiment, the grab handle is specifically pivotally mounted at its base on the body so as to be pivotable between a deployed position and a folded position, in which the grab handle is erected and can be grasped by a child riding the vehicle, and in the folded position the grab handle is lowered to be located near the front of the body, and a fixing device is provided for maintaining the handle at least in the deployed position.

[0029] For the same purpose of reducing the space occupied by the assembly according to the invention when not in use, the body of the vehicle can be divided transversely into two parts, namely a front part and a rear part, which parts are connected to each other in a pivoting manner, which pivoting allows the rear part to be moved relative to the front part between a deployed use position and a folded storage position, in which the rear part extends away from the front part and in which the rear part is folded towards the front part along the underside of the front part.

[0030] According to an improved embodiment of the invention, the element assembly comprises means for positioning the rear wheels of the vehicle in two spacing positions, the two spacing positions being a larger spacing position adopted in the "stroller" configuration of the element assembly and a smaller spacing position adopted when used independently as the wheeled vehicle or when the element assembly is in the folded state.

[0031] The greater spacing of the rear wheels provides the stroller with high stability, while the smaller spacing of these same wheels allows the child to use the wheeled vehicle in a manner that is not restricted by the excessive spacing of the rear wheels.

[0032] Preferably, the stroller handle comprises, at its lower part and rear side, a strut connected to a locking block for engaging with the body of the vehicle, thereby allowing the stroller handle to be locked to the body in its unfolded state.

[0033] This results in a stable and secure positioning of the stroller handle relative to the vehicle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A modular component assembly is shown which allows the construction of a child stroller 2 in the component assembly configuration shown in these figures and in Figure 5 and Figure 6 Another configuration shown in makes it possible to obtain a wheeled vehicle 3 suitable for being ridden by a child.

[0055] The assembly of components comprises (i) a subassembly 5 , 6 formed by a stroller seat 5 and a stroller handle 6 , and (ii) a wheeled vehicle 3 constituting a rolling chassis of the stroller 2 .

[0056] Description of Seat 5

[0057] The seat 5 of the stroller 2 comprises a base 10 and a backrest 11 as well as a front part 12 which forms a footrest in the example shown and a sunshade 13 .

[0058] As reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 and with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be appreciated, the various seat parts 10 to 12 comprise assembled fabric pieces carried by support structures 15, 25, 26, which are arranged in a manner similar to those of FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 have been removed to make these support structures visible. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the sunshade 13 is also removed.

[0059] It can thus be seen that, in addition to the fabric piece, the base 10 comprises a plate 15 having two lateral cheeks at its rear, by means of which the base 10 is pivotally mounted on the cart handle 6. This pivotal mounting is at the pivoting connections 16 which connect the lower part 6a of the lateral branches of the cart handle 6 to the upper part 6b of these same branches. One of the connections 16 is at Figure 8 It can be seen more particularly in the section of ; it can be seen that each side cheek 15a of the plate 15 is pivotally connected to one of the two parts forming the connecting member 16 by a screw 17.

[0060] The side cheeks 15a allow the plane of the base formed by the plate 15 to be offset relative to the pivot axis formed by the connecting member 16; Figure 7 As shown, in the folded position, the lower part 6a and the upper part 6b extend along the sides of the body 21 of the vehicle 3, wherein the connection 16 is located near the front wheels of the vehicle 3; the offset allows the base 10 to cover the body 21 of the vehicle 3 in this folded state. Therefore, the component assembly has a reduced footprint.

[0061] The pivoting of the base 10 and therefore the plate 15 relative to the cart handle 6 occurs in the deployed state relative to the cart handle (in Figures 1 to 4 ) and collapsed (in Figure 5 In the unfolded state, the base 10 can receive a child; in the folded state, the plate 15 is raised so as to be close to the stroller handle 6. It can also be seen that the plate 15 is sized so that, in the unfolded position, the plate 15 abuts against an upper crossbar that includes a grab handle 20 located on the front of the body 21 of the vehicle 3. As shown in Fig. 9 As can be seen more specifically in the figure, the plate 15 has a side wall 15b covering the end of the upper rod 20a of the handle 20, through which the screws 22 for assembling the plate 15 to the upper rod 20a pass. Each screw 22 is received by being screwed into a threaded hole of a sleeve 23 housed in the end of the rod 20a.

[0062] In addition to its own fabric piece, the backrest 11 also includes an arch 25 forming a support frame for the fabric piece. Figure 8 As shown, the arch 25 is mounted on the connecting piece 16 by means of the same screws 17 as are used to mount the cheeks 15a of the plate 15. When the base 10 is unfolded and connected to the upper bar 20a as described above, the backrest 11 is held in place by the lateral fabric pieces which connect the fabric piece of the base 10 to the fabric piece of the backrest 11.

[0063] The front part 12 forming the footrest includes, in addition to its own fabric piece, an arch 26 for supporting the fabric piece. The arch 12 is pivotally mounted on the front part of the base 10, in the example shown, the pivoting being achieved by a circular portion 26a formed at the end of the arch 26, the circular portion 26a being drilled with stepped holes which receive the screws 22, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 shown.

[0064] The sun shield 13 as such is of conventional type and is not part of the present invention; it therefore requires no particular description.

[0065] Description of the cart handle 6

[0066] In addition to the above-mentioned lower part 6a and upper part 6b, this pushchair handle 6 comprises an upper arch 6c connected to the upper part 6b by a fitting connection 30 similar to the connection 16. The pushchair handle 6 thus has the shape of an elongated handle forming an upper arch and two lateral branches.

[0067] refer to Figure 8 It can be seen that each connecting member 16 is formed by two parts connected by a screw 31, which are respectively connected to the corresponding parts 6a, 6b; one of the two parts ( Figure 8 The one on the left in the figure has a protruding prismatic portion 32 on its assembly face with the other part, which can be received in a correspondingly shaped cavity of the other part in a mating manner. It should be understood that when the screw 31 is tightened, the prismatic portion 32 remains engaged in the cavity, which ensures that the two parts forming the connecting piece 16 are fixed relative to each other in the rotational direction. This pivot locking position corresponds to keeping the upper part 6b in the extension of the corresponding lower part 6a, and therefore in the unfolded state of the cart handle 6. When the screw 31 of each connecting piece 16 is loosened, the prismatic portion 32 can be released from the cavity, which allows the upper part 6b to pivot relative to the lower part 6a, thereby allowing the cart handle 6 to be folded.

[0068] from Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 As can be seen from the comparison of the pushcart handle 6, the pushcart handle 6 is detachably mounted on the body 21 of the vehicle 3, so that the subassemblies 5, 6 can be removed from the vehicle. Then, the vehicle 3 can be used for the entertainment of children, who ride on the body 21 by sitting on the saddle 21a formed on the upper part of the body 21 and grasping the upper rod 20a of the handle 20.

[0069] The detachable mounting of the cart handle 6 on the body 21 is achieved by pivotally assembling connecting members 35, one of which is located at Fig.10 As shown in this figure, each connecting member 35 comprises a base 36 receiving the lower part 6a, which is pivotally mounted in a support formed by the body 21 and is retained on the body by a screw 37. The lower part 6a is received in a matching manner in a corresponding hole formed by the base 36 and is retained in this hole by a movable pin 38 associated with a leaf spring 39. The pin 38 passes through the hole in the lower part 6a and the hole in the base 36 to ensure that the lower part 6a is retained on the base 36, and can be pressed to overcome the elastic force of the leaf spring 39, thereby releasing the lower part 6a relative to the base 36.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the pushchair handle 6 also has a support 40 in its lower part and at its rear side connected to a locking block 41, allowing the pushchair handle 6 to be locked to the body 21 in the unfolded state of the pushchair handle. In the locked state, this locking block 41 engages between and with two parallel branches formed by the rear part of the body 21. The locking block 41 is Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown in these figures, the locking block 41 is in the form of a housing connected to the two side portions 40a of the pillar and comprises, in its upper part, a button 42 adapted to be pushed into the housing by the user, associated with two springs 43 which return it to the extended position. The button 42 forms two columns 42a, the free ends of which have inclined surfaces to form an actuation ramp. Each of these free ends is located near the actuation flange of a corresponding sliding latch 44, which has an end that passes through the corresponding side wall of the housing and forms a locking pin. The pin can be received in a corresponding locking cavity 45, which is arranged in one of the above-mentioned parallel branches 21b formed by the rear part of the body 21. The two latches 44 are returned to the locked position by a spring 46 extending between them.

[0071] By comparison Fig.11 and Fig.12 Understandably, from Fig.11 In the locked position shown, pressing the button 42 causes the aforementioned actuation ramp to abut against the actuation flanges of the latches 44, causing these latches to retract towards the inside of the housing and thus causing the locking pins to be withdrawn from the cavities 45 of the branches 21 b. The pivoting of the stroller handle 6 relative to the body 21 of the vehicle is then released, which allows it to enter the folded state. In order to lock the locking block 41 to the body 21, the locking block 41 is moved from the locking pin 42 to the locking pin 42. Fig.12 Starting from the position shown, it is sufficient to engage the locking block 41 between the branches 21 b; during this engagement, the circular portion of the branch 21 b close to the cavity 45 and the corresponding circular portion arranged at the end of the locking pin abut against each other so as to retract the latch 44 into the housing against the elastic force of the spring 46 until the pin is located opposite the cavity 45, and then they engage in the cavity 45 under the pressure of the spring 46.

[0072] Description of Vehicle 3

[0073] By comparison Figure 6 and Figure 7 , it can be seen that the gripping handle 20 can be placed in two vertically staggered positions, namely Figure 7 The lowered position for storage and Figure 6 The raised position, visible in FIG. 1 , allows the grab handle 20 to be placed at a sufficient height for a child riding on the body 21 of the vehicle 3 to grasp. The lowered position allows Figure 7The storage or transport position shown reduces the space occupied by the component assembly.

[0074] like Fig.13 As shown more specifically in FIG. 1 , the handle 20 comprises a column 20 b, the lower part of which forms a tubular portion 20 b 1, and a body 21 forming a tubular extension 21 c in which the tubular portion 20 b 1 is telescopically received. The latter and the extension 21 c comprise corresponding holes that coincide with each other in the lowered and raised positions of the handle 20. In these holes, a locking pin 50 can be engaged, which is associated with a leaf spring 51, allowing the pin 50 to move between an engaged position in the coincident holes, which allows the handle 20 to be locked relative to the body 21, and a disengaged position of the pin 50 relative to these same holes, which allows the column 20 b to slide telescopically relative to the extension 21 c.

[0075] also, Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 A comparison of shows that the rear wheels of vehicle 3 can be placed in two spaced-apart positions, namely, Figures 1 to 4 The larger spacing position used in the "stroller" configuration can be seen in Figure 6 and Figure 7 2 and 3. The smaller spacing position adopted when the vehicle 3 is used by a child or when the element assembly is in the folded state can be seen in FIG. The larger spacing of the rear wheels provides high stability to the stroller 2, while the smaller spacing of these same wheels allows the child to use the vehicle 3 in a manner that is not restricted by the excessive spacing of the rear wheels and allows a compact folding of the element assembly.

[0076] The spacing is controlled by two sliding buttons 52 located on the rear of the body 21, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown.

[0077] Figures 14 to 17 The mechanism of which the button 52 forms a part is shown in more detail. Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, these buttons 52 are integral with the locking lever 55; in these figures and in Fig.14 and Fig.15 As can be seen in the figure, the ends of these rods 55 in the form of locking pins can engage in corresponding receiving cavities arranged in a rod 56 and a tube 57 which are telescopically engaged with each other and which form the axle of the rear wheels 60 of the vehicle 3. The locking rods 55 are biased by springs 58 into a locking position corresponding to the engagement of the pins in the receiving cavities.

[0078] refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15 , will understand, from Fig.14Starting from the position shown where the rear wheels 60 are far apart, the spring 58 acts on the slider button 52 against the elastic force exerted by the locking rod 55, allowing the pin to be withdrawn from the corresponding receiving cavity, thereby releasing the rod 56 and the tube 57 from sliding relative to each other. This sliding can continue until the wheel 60 enters Fig.15 The close position shown, in which the locking pin engages in the other corresponding receiving cavity, thereby allowing the wheel 60 to remain in the close position. To return to the far-distance separation position, a force is applied to the sliding button 52 to disengage the locking pin from the other receiving cavity, thereby returning the rod 56 and the tube 57 to the far-distance separation position of the wheel 60.

[0079] Fig.18 3 is a view of an assembly of elements according to another embodiment, in which the body of a vehicle 3 is divided transversely into two parts 3a, 3b, namely a front part 3a and a rear part 3b, which parts are connected to each other in a pivoting manner by a connection 65 forming a hinge having a pivot axis transverse to the body of the vehicle 3. The pivoting effected by this connection allows the rear part 3b to be moved relative to the front part 3a between an unfolded use position shown in solid lines, in which the rear part 3b extends away from the front part 3a, and an incompletely folded storage position shown in dashed lines, in which the rear part 3b is folded toward the front part 3a along the underside of the front part 3a. The folded position shown in dashed lines is a fully folded position of the rear part 3b, but an incomplete folded position in the sense that the stroller handle, the grip handle and the base are not folded as shown in the figure.

[0080] As is clear from the foregoing, the present invention provides a modular element assembly that remedies the drawbacks of the prior art by allowing, in a simple and rapid manner, to pass from a “stroller” configuration to a “vehicle” configuration, allowing the stroller to be folded with a reduced volume so as to facilitate the storage or transport of the assembly when not in use, and allowing the stability required for a stroller to be obtained without limiting the possibilities of using the vehicle for the child or increasing the volume occupied by the element assembly in the folded state.
