AI Technical Summary
Existing safety components using plastic guidance for bolts in folding mechanisms, such as in child buggies, are prone to failure under excessive force, leading to uncontrollable collapse and posing a significant safety risk.
Connecting the bolt to a locking element within a tube to distribute the force load, thereby reducing the reliance on plastic guidance and enhancing structural integrity.
This configuration enhances the safety and stability of the folding mechanism by ensuring the bolt and tube bear the force load, preventing plastic failure and ensuring controlled operation.

Abstract
Description
[0001] A safety component was invented that takes over the force from a bolt (1) guided in a plastic (2).
[0002] The bolt (1) is inserted and unlocked using a plastic tube (4).
[0003] For example, in the folding mechanism of a child's buggy, the latch is guided by a plastic piece.
[0004] If excessive force is applied, the latch (1) can break the plastic (2) and the buggy can collapse uncontrollably.
[0005] This is a serious security risk.
[0006] If the bolt (1) is now connected or screwed to a locking element (5) inside a tube (3), the tube (3) and the locking element (5) bear the force load.
[0007] The plastic part (2) only provides guidance.
