Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a stroller assembly and a portable crib for the stroller assembly, and particularly, but not exclusively, to a portable crib for facilitating the mounting of a second seat onto the stroller frame. Background Technology

[0002] Strollers are typically used by parents or other users to transport children on walking trips, especially when the child is too small or unable to walk for part or all of the journey. Strollers usually provide a comfortable seat or crib for the child to sit or lie down. The stroller seat or crib is supported by a stroller frame with handles or grips and multiple wheels, allowing the user to push the stroller comfortably.

[0003] For stroller users with multiple children, it may be desirable for a single stroller to accommodate several children. Furthermore, carrying multiple children in a stroller should not compromise its stability or ease of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a stroller assembly is provided, comprising: a stroller frame including a docking socket for mounting a seat on the stroller frame; and a portable crib including a bed portion and a portable crib docking assembly including a portable crib docking member, wherein the portable crib can be mounted on the stroller frame by engaging the portable crib docking member to the docking socket, wherein the portable crib docking assembly includes: a slider fixedly connected to the bed portion; and a portable crib docking member movably (e.g., slidably) connected to the slider.

[0005] A stroller frame may include multiple frame members. A docking socket may be fixedly connected to the stroller frame (e.g., a frame member of the stroller frame) in the direction of each of the multiple frame members of the stroller frame. In other words, the docking socket may be connected to the stroller frame such that it cannot move (e.g., slide) along any frame member of the stroller frame. However, the docking socket may be pivotally connected to the stroller frame.

[0006] The portable crib docking piece can be connected to a slider so that the portable crib can slide in the longitudinal direction of the stroller assembly when it is mounted on the stroller frame. The stroller frame may include a handle or grip for the user of the stroller assembly to grasp and push the stroller. When the portable crib is mounted on the stroller frame, the portable crib can slide toward and away from the handle / grip.

[0007] The crib docking connector can slide relative to the sliding connector between a rear position and a front position. In the rear position, the crib can be mounted on a stroller frame, wherein the center of gravity of the crib or the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed portion is substantially aligned with the docking connector. In the front position, the crib can be mounted on a stroller frame, wherein the center of gravity of the crib or the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed portion is behind the docking connector.

[0008] The stroller assembly may include a second seat that can be mounted on the stroller frame at a second seat attachment point located in front of the docking socket, for example, on the side of the docking socket opposite the handle or lever of the stroller frame. The portable crib docking piece can slide relative to a slider between a rearward and a forward position. In the rearward position, the portable crib, when mounted on the stroller frame, interferes with the position of the second seat when mounted on the stroller frame; in the forward position, the portable crib, when mounted on the stroller frame, does not interfere with the position of the second seat when mounted on the stroller frame.

[0009] The slider may include a first recess and a second recess. The crib docking member may include a latch portion configured to selectively engage the first and second recesses when the slider docking member is in a forward and a rearward position, respectively.

[0010] The first and second recesses may extend from their respective openings to their bottoms in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the crib docking member relative to the slider. The first and second recesses, along with the latch portion, may be configured to engage with each other and resist movement of the crib docking member relative to the slider. The crib docking assembly may include an actuator configured to retract the latch, preventing it from engaging with either the first or second recess.

[0011] According to another aspect of the invention, a portable crib is provided for mounting on a stroller frame of the aforementioned stroller assembly. The portable crib includes: a bed portion; and a portable crib docking assembly, comprising: a slider fixedly connected to the bed portion; and a portable crib docking member for docking to a docking point on the stroller frame, wherein the portable crib docking member is movably (e.g., slidably) connected to the slider.

[0012] The crib docking mechanism can move relative to the sliding mechanism between a front position and a rear position. In the front position, the crib docking mechanism is in front of the longitudinal center point of the crib section; in the rear position, the crib docking mechanism is substantially aligned with or behind the longitudinal center point of the crib section.

[0013] The slider may include a first recess and a second recess. The crib docking member may include a latch portion configured to selectively engage the first and second recesses when the crib docking member is in a forward and rearward position, respectively.

[0014] The first and second recesses may extend from their respective openings to their bottoms in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the crib docking member relative to the slider. The first and second recesses, along with the latch portion, may be configured to engage with each other and resist movement of the crib docking member relative to the slider.

[0015] The portable crib docking assembly may include an actuator (e.g., a button) that may be arranged laterally on the inner side relative to the crib portion, wherein the actuator is actuable (e.g., pressable) to push a latch portion out of a first recess or a second recess.

[0016] To avoid unnecessary repetition and textual overlap in the specification, certain features are described only with respect to one or a few aspects or embodiments of the invention. However, it should be understood that, where technically feasible, features described with respect to any aspect or embodiment of the invention may also be used in conjunction with any other aspect or embodiment of the invention. For example, features described with respect to a first aspect may be combined with features described with respect to a second aspect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 5 This is a side view of the stroller assembly including the second seat, with the portable crib attached at the rear. Detailed Implementation

[0025] refer to Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 1c The stroller assembly 2 arranged according to this disclosure includes a stroller frame 10 and a portable crib 200 that can be mounted on the stroller frame for a child to lie on.

[0026] The stroller frame 10 may include a plurality of frame members, and may also include a stroller hinge assembly 12a disposed on the left side of the stroller frame and another stroller hinge assembly (not shown) disposed on the right side of the stroller frame. As described below, the frame members of the stroller frame 10 may be connected to any one or both of the hinge assemblies, which may be configured such that the frame members can rotate relative to each other about the hinge assemblies to fold the stroller frame 10.

[0027] In the following description, features of the stroller frame 10 are described, particularly the frame members of the stroller frame and their connection to the hinge assembly 12a on one lateral side of the stroller frame. However, it should be understood that the stroller frame 10 can be symmetrical between its left and right lateral sides, and therefore, similar component arrangements (e.g., frame members and hinge assemblies) can be provided on both lateral sides of the stroller frame 10. Thus, hinge assembly 12a and another hinge assembly 12b can be symmetrical components. Furthermore, in other arrangements, the stroller frame may not include the hinge assembly. In such arrangements, the frame members can... Figure 1a and Figure 1b The hinge components are connected to each other at their respective locations (e.g., directly connected to each other).

[0028] The stroller frame 10 may include: a handle frame member 14 extending, for example, upward and / or rearward, from the stroller hinge assembly 12a; and a handle 15 extending between a distal end of the handle frame member 14 and a distal end of another handle frame member provided on another lateral side of the stroller frame. The handle 15 is available for a user to grip to push the stroller, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the stroller. In other arrangements, the stroller frame 10 may not include handles extending between the handle frame members 14, but may instead include a handle (e.g., a separate handle) coupled to the handle frame members 14 for a user to grip when actuating the stroller.

[0029] The stroller frame 10 may further include: a first leg frame member (e.g., front leg frame member 16) extending from the stroller hinge assembly 12a to support one or more front wheels 18 of the stroller; and a second leg frame member (e.g., rear leg frame member 20) extending from the stroller hinge assembly 12a to support one or more rear wheels 22 of the stroller. As shown, the front leg frame member 16 may extend forward from the stroller hinge assembly 12a, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the stroller, and may additionally extend in a downward direction (e.g., relative to the position of the stroller when the stroller frame is unfolded and upright on the wheels of the stroller). The rear leg frame member 20 may extend rearward from the stroller hinge assembly 12a, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the stroller, and may additionally extend in a downward direction.

[0030] The stroller frame 10 may include a front transverse frame member 24 that extends laterally between the distal ends of front support leg frame members 16 provided on either transverse side of the stroller frame. As shown, the front transverse frame member 24 may be arcuate or include one or more arcuate portions. In some arrangements, the front transverse frame member 24 may be integrally formed with one or both of the front support leg frame members 16. In such an arrangement, a single frame member may extend from a stroller hinge assembly 12a on one side of the stroller frame to one of the front wheels 18, laterally across to the other front wheel 18, and from that other front wheel to another stroller hinge assembly 12b on the other side of the stroller frame.

[0031] Similarly, the stroller frame 10 may include a rear transverse frame member 26 extending laterally between the distal ends of the rear support leg frame members 20. In some arrangements, the rear transverse frame member 26 may be integrally formed with one or both of the rear support leg frame members 20. In such an arrangement, a single frame member may extend from a stroller hinge assembly 12a on one side of the stroller frame into one of the rear wheels 22, laterally across to the other rear wheel 22, and from that other rear wheel to a stroller hinge assembly 12b on the other side of the stroller frame.

[0032] Now for reference Figure 1c The stroller frame 10 may also include a docking socket 30. As shown, the docking socket can be connected to the stroller hinge 12a. Alternatively, the docking socket 30 can be connected (e.g., directly connected) to frame members (e.g., handle frame member 14, rear support leg frame member 20, and / or front support leg frame member 16). The docking socket 30 is for connecting a stroller seat or portable crib 200 to the stroller frame, for example, to support it on the stroller frame.

[0033] The docking socket 30 can be fixedly coupled to the stroller frame (e.g., hinge assembly and / or one or more frame members) in the direction along each of one or more frame members. However, the docking socket 30 can be pivotally coupled to the stroller frame (e.g., coupled to stroller hinge assembly 12a and / or one or more frame members) so that the docking socket 30 can pivot about the docking axis A. D The pivot axis of the docking member can rotate relative to the stroller frame. It can be perpendicular to the direction along the frame members (e.g., the handle member, the first leg frame member 16, and the second leg frame member 20). In other words, the pivot axis of the docking member can be perpendicular to the direction in which the frame members extend from the stroller hinge. For example, the pivot axis of the docking member can be parallel to the lateral direction of the stroller.

[0034] The mating socket 30 may include a body portion 32, which may include a generally plate-shaped portion and may have one or more flange portions projecting perpendicular to the plate-shaped portion. For example, perpendicular to the pivot axis A of the mating member. D The shape of the main body 32 in the plane can correspond, for example, to the pivot axis A perpendicular to the docking member. D The cross-sectional shape of the hinge assembly in the plane. When the hinge body of the hinge assembly is substantially cylindrical, the body portion 32 of the mating socket may include a substantially circular plate. In such an arrangement, the pivot axis A of the mating member... D It can be aligned with the central axis of the circular plate. Additionally or alternatively, the pivot axis of the mating member can be aligned with or parallel to the central axis of the hinge assembly.

[0035] The docking socket 30 may include, for example, a socket portion 34 connected to the main body, configured to allow the portable crib to be mounted to a stroller assembly at the docking socket, for example, via a docking plug of a corresponding shape provided on the portable crib (described in more detail below). The socket portion 34 may form a docking channel 36 through which the docking plug can be inserted, for example in the docking direction, into a docking space 38 formed by the socket portion to connect the docking plug to the docking socket. The socket portion 34 includes one or more socket surfaces 37, which may have portions parallel to the docking direction in which the docking plug of the portable crib can be inserted into the socket portion 34. The socket surfaces 37 may guide the docking plug into the docking socket and / or support the docking plug when it is received within the docking space.

[0036] The docking socket 30 can be connected (e.g., pivotally connected) to the axial end of the stroller hinge assembly. Specifically, the docking socket 30 can be connected to the inner side of a opposing lateral side of the stroller hinge assembly, for example, facing the stroller frame. Therefore, the main seat for the stroller can be supported between the hinge assemblies provided on either lateral side of the stroller. In particular, a portable crib 200 can be supported between the docking sockets 30 on the respective stroller hinge assemblies.

[0037] Referring to Figures 2 to 4, the portable crib 200 includes a bed portion 210 that forms a space 212 for a child to sit or lie down. The bed portion 210 may have a head end 210a and a foot end 210b at opposite longitudinal ends of the portable crib 200. As shown, the portable crib may include a canopy 214 that is retractably arranged above the space 212 at the head end of the bed portion. The portable crib 200 also includes a portable crib docking assembly 220a. The portable crib 200 can be connected to a stroller frame 10 via the portable crib docking assembly, for example, to mount the portable crib onto the stroller frame. As shown, the portable crib 200 may include another portable crib docking assembly 220b provided on a lateral side of the portable crib opposite to the portable crib docking assembly. The other portable crib docking assembly may be configured symmetrically to the portable crib docking assembly. The features of the portable crib docking assembly described below can be applied equally to another portable crib docking assembly. Furthermore, the description of the interaction between the portable crib docking assembly and the docking socket can be applied equally to the interaction between another portable crib docking assembly and another docking socket.

[0038] The portable crib docking assembly 220a includes a slider 230 and a portable crib docking member 240. The portable crib docking member is movably (e.g., slidably) coupled to the slider 230. The slider includes a first end 230a and a second end 230b at two longitudinal ends. The slider 230 is fixedly coupled to the crib portion 210. Specifically, the slider can be fixedly coupled to the crib portion such that it extends in the longitudinal direction of the portable crib, extending between the head end and the foot end of the crib portion. The portable crib docking member can be coupled to the slider to be able to slide along a track between the first end and the second end, for example, in the longitudinal direction of the portable crib.

[0039] The portable crib docking assembly may include a docking plug 243 configured to connect to a docking socket 30 of the stroller frame, for example, by being received in a docking space 38 of the docking socket via a docking channel 36, to connect the portable crib 200 to the stroller frame 10. The portable crib docking assembly and docking socket may be configured such that when the portable crib is mounted on the stroller frame, the longitudinal direction of the portable crib is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the stroller frame.

[0040] The slider may include a body portion 232 configured to engage with a bed portion. For example, the body portion may include multiple openings for receiving fasteners (e.g., threaded fasteners) to engage the body portion with a bed portion of the crib (e.g., the underside 210c of the bed portion). The body portion may include a base surface 232a that may engage with a surface of the bed portion that engages with the slider. The body portion may be elongated, and when the slider is engaged with the crib, the body portion may extend primarily in the longitudinal direction of the crib.

[0041] The slider 230 may form a track for engagement with a portable crib docking member to guide / support movement (e.g., sliding) of the portable crib docking member relative to the slider. Specifically, the slider 230 may also include a transverse extending wall 234 extending from the body portion. As shown, a gap 236 is formed between the transverse extending wall and the base surface of the body portion. The gap 236 can thus be formed between the transverse extending wall and the crib portion (e.g., the surface of the crib portion that engages with the body portion 232 (e.g., the lower surface 210c)). The slider may include the transverse extending wall 234 and the associated gap 236 on each side of the body portion 232 (e.g., side-to-side).

[0042] The portable crib docking member 240 may include a follower portion 242 configured to be movably (e.g., slidably) coupled to the slide member 230. As shown, the follower portion 242 may extend across the body portion 232 of the slide member on a side of the body portion opposite to the base surface of the body portion, and may include a hook 242a extending around a lateral extension wall (e.g., extending into the gap 236 between the lateral extension wall 234 and the base surface). The hook may be provided on one or both lateral sides of the body portion 232. A docking plug 243 may be securely coupled to the follower portion 242.

[0043] In other arrangements, the follower portion 242 and the slider 230 of the portable crib docking member can be configured in any other way to allow the portable crib docking member to be slidably coupled to the slider. In particular, the slider may include additional longitudinally extending features forming a track that will be coupled to the portable crib docking member and guide / support the portable crib docking member to move longitudinally along the slider.

[0044] The slider 230 may also include end portions 238 disposed at both longitudinal ends of the track (e.g., the main body portion 232). The lateral width of the end portions 238 may be greater than the lateral width of the main body portion. For example, the lateral width of the end portions may be substantially equal to the lateral width of the track (e.g., the main body portion 232 and the lateral extension wall 234). Furthermore, the gap 236 may not extend into the end portions 238. The end portions 238 may thus, or otherwise, form end stops for the slider that prevent the follower portion 242 from sliding out of the longitudinal ends of the slider / track. Figure 4a and Figure 4b As shown, the end portion 238 may have an end stop surface 238a, which is configured to abut against the follower portion 242 (e.g., the longitudinal end face of the follower portion) when the follower portion moves to the longitudinal end of the slider.

[0045] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the crib docking member 240 can move between a rearward position as shown in Figure 2 and a forward position as shown in Figure 3. The rearward and forward positions of the crib docking member are defined relative to the longitudinal direction of the crib extending from the foot end (which may be the rear end of the crib) and head end (which may be the front end of the crib). When the crib is mounted on a stroller frame, the forward and rearward directions of the crib can correspond to the direction of travel of the crib. The rearward and forward positions of the crib docking member 240 can correspond to the positions where the following part abuts against the end stop at the corresponding end of the main body of the sliding member.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2, when the crib connector is in the forward position, the crib connector (e.g., the longitudinal center point of the crib connector or connector plug) can be positioned, for example, in front of the longitudinal center point of the crib section relative to the longitudinal direction of the crib. When the crib connector is in the rear position, the crib connector (e.g., the longitudinal center point of the crib connector or connector plug) can be substantially aligned with or positioned behind the longitudinal center point of the crib section.

[0047] Referring again to Figure 4, the crib docking member (e.g., the follower portion) may include a latch portion 244 configured to selectively engage a slider 230 (e.g., the body portion 232) to restrict movement of the crib docking member 240 relative to the slider 230. In some arrangements, the latch portion 244 may selectively engage the slider to fix the position of the crib docking member relative to the slider (e.g., along the slider). As described above, the slider 230 may extend in the longitudinal direction of the crib. The engagement between the latch portion 244 and the slider may restrict movement of the crib docking member in the longitudinal direction of the crib or fix the position of the crib docking member in the longitudinal direction of the crib.

[0048] The slider 230 may include a first recess 239a. A latching portion 244 may be received at least partially within the first recess 239a to engage the slider and fix the position of the crib docking member relative to the slider. The first recess may be disposed at or near a first end of the slider, for example, closer to the first end 230a of the slider than to a second end of the slider. For example, the first recess may be positioned along the slider such that when the latching portion engages the first recess, the crib docking member engages an end stop disposed at the first end of the slider. Thus, when the latching portion engages the first recess, the crib docking member may be in a rearward position.

[0049] The slider may also include a second recess 239b. A latching portion 244 may be received at least partially within the second recess to engage the slider and fix the position of the crib docking member relative to the slider. The second recess may be disposed at or near the second end 230b of the slider, for example, closer to the second end of the slider than to the first end. For example, the second recess 239b may be positioned along the slider such that when the latching portion engages the second recess, the crib docking member engages an end stop disposed at the second end of the slider. Thus, when the latching portion engages the second recess, the crib docking member can be in a forward position.

[0050] As shown in the figure, a first recess 239a and / or a second recess 239b may be formed in the main body portion 232 of the slider. The first and / or second recesses may extend from the recess opening to the bottom of the recess in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the crib docking member slides relative to the slider (e.g., the longitudinal direction of the slider). For example, the first and / or second recesses may extend in the lateral direction of the crib slider. Furthermore, the first recess 239a and / or the second recess 239b may be aligned with the gap 236 between the surface of the crib portion that connects to the slider and the lateral extending wall 234 of the slider.

[0051] As shown in the figure, the first recess 239a and / or the second recess 239b may have openings at the sidewalls of the recesses. In particular, the sidewalls of the recesses may have openings at the base surface of the main body portion of the slider.

[0052] The latch portion 244 can be selectively retracted from the recess. Specifically, the portable crib docking assembly includes an actuator 250 (e.g., a button) configured to retract the latch portion 244 such that the latch does not engage with the first or second recess. The latch 244 can be biased to a position where the latch portion can be at least partially received within the first and / or second recess. For example, the portable crib docking assembly may include a resilient element configured to bias the latch to a position where the latch can be received within the first and / or second recess.

[0053] Briefly return Figure 1a and Figure 1b When the portable crib connector is in the rear position, the portable crib can be mounted on the stroller frame at connector 30, such as... Figure 1a As shown, this design ensures the portable crib does not protrude behind the stroller's rear wheels. As illustrated, the longitudinal center point of the portable crib and / or its center of gravity can be located in front of the stroller frame's rear wheels, for example, substantially aligned with the docking socket. For instance, the portable crib's center of gravity can be positioned substantially centered between the stroller's front and rear wheels (e.g., their respective axes of rotation).

[0054] like Figure 1bAs shown, when the crib docking connector is in the forward position, the crib can be mounted on the stroller frame at the docking connector, such that the crib protrudes behind the stroller's rear wheels. Additionally or alternatively, the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed section and / or the crib's center of gravity can be behind the docking connector, or at the longitudinal center point between the front and rear wheels. In some arrangements, the crib's center of gravity can be closer to the rear wheel or its axis (closer to the rear wheel than the longitudinal center point between the wheels). Alternatively, the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed section and / or the crib's center of gravity can be roughly aligned with the rear wheels.

[0055] Now for reference Figure 5 The stroller assembly 2 can be configured such that a second seat 502 for the stroller can be mounted on the stroller frame. For example, the second seat assembly 500 for the stroller assembly may include one or more seat mounting members 504. The second seat for the stroller can be attached to the stroller frame at a second seat attachment point 506 provided on the stroller frame (e.g., on one or more frame members of the stroller frame). The second seat can be attached to the stroller frame via the seat mounting member 504. The seat mounting member 504 may be provided on both lateral sides of the second seat 502 for attaching the second seat 502 to the stroller frame and supporting the second seat at a desired position within the stroller assembly 2. As shown, when a portable crib is mounted on the stroller frame, the second seat assembly 500 can be attached to the stroller frame from the front of the portable crib 200. For example, the second seat attachment point 506 may be arranged in front of the docking socket 30 relative to the longitudinal direction of the stroller assembly. In the depicted arrangement, the second seat attachment point is provided on the first leg frame member. Therefore, the second seat assembly can be connected to the first leg frame component.

[0056] The stroller assembly may also include one or more connectors 510. For example, stroller assembly 2 may include a first connector and a second connector, which may be arranged symmetrically on the stroller. For example, the first and second connectors may be located on corresponding lateral sides of the stroller assembly. The connectors 510 may be configured to attach to a second seat assembly and / or the stroller frame and provide a second docking socket 512 at which a portable crib 200 may be attached to, for example, to mount the portable crib in a position on the stroller frame, for example, further rearward relative to the docking socket 30. The second docking socket 512 may be configured similarly to the docking socket 30, for example, including docking channels and docking spaces of similar shape to allow the portable crib docking member to be attached to the second docking socket. When the stroller assembly includes the first seat connector 510 and the second seat connector 510, the portable crib may be supported between the second docking sockets 512 located on the second seat connectors on both lateral sides of the stroller assembly.

[0057] When a portable crib is installed at the second docking socket, if the crib docking connector is in the rear position, the crib may interfere with the placement of the second seat when mounted on the stroller frame. Therefore, installing the portable crib at the second docking socket with the docking connector in the rear position prevents the second seat from being mounted on the stroller frame. Similarly, installing the second seat on the stroller frame with the crib docking connector in the rear position prevents the portable crib from being mounted at the second docking socket (or the docking socket itself).

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, when the portable crib connector is positioned in the front position and the portable crib 200 is installed at the second connector socket, the portable crib does not interfere with the second seat. For example, when the portable crib is installed on the stroller frame, the portable crib can be spaced apart from the location where the second seat is installed. Therefore, when the portable crib is installed at the second connector socket 512 and the portable crib connector is in the front position, the second seat can be installed on the stroller frame, for example, without interfering with the portable crib 200. In the same way, when the second seat is installed on the stroller frame and the portable crib connector is in the front position, it does not prevent the portable crib from being installed at the second connector socket.

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, when the portable crib is installed at the second docking socket 512 and the docking piece is in the front position, the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed portion and / or the center of gravity of the portable crib can be behind the second docking socket, for example, approximately aligned with or behind the rear wheels. When the portable crib is installed at the second docking socket 512 and the docking piece is in the front position, the longitudinal center point of the crib's bed portion and / or the center of gravity of the portable crib can be substantially aligned with the second docking socket.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will understand that although the present invention has been described by way of example with reference to one or more exemplary examples, it is not limited to the disclosed examples, and alternative examples may be constructed without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
