DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals denote like or corresponding parts and will not be described repeatedly.

[0018] (About the stroller) An overview of a stroller 1 to which a stroller basket according to this embodiment can be attached will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the state in which the push bar is in the rear-facing pushing position, and Figure 2 shows the state in which the push bar is in the forward-facing pushing position. In the following description, the front-to-rear direction corresponds to the front-to-rear direction of the stroller, the direction indicated by arrow A is the front of the stroller, and the opposite direction is the rear. The left-to-right direction corresponds to the left-to-right direction as seen from the front of the stroller, and is also called the width direction.

[0019] The basic structure of the stroller 1 may be the same as that of a typical stroller, and the stroller 1 comprises a body frame 10 and a seat 20. The body frame 10 comprises a pair of front legs (left front leg 11, right front leg 12), a pair of rear legs (left rear leg 13, right rear leg 14), a front guard 15, armrests 16, a seat support member 17, a backrest support member 18, and a push bar 19. The body frame 10 excluding the front guard 15, seat support member 17, backrest support member 18, and push bar 19 is provided on the left and right sides spaced apart in the width direction (vehicle width direction) and forms a pair.

[0020] Front wheels 11a, 12a are provided at the lower ends of front legs 11, 12, which extend in the vertical direction, respectively. Rear wheels 13a, 14a are provided at the lower ends of rear legs 13, 14, which extend in the vertical direction behind each of front legs 11, 12. The lower ends of the pair of front legs 11, 12 are connected by a front leg connecting member 25, which extends in the width direction. The front leg connecting member 25 also functions as a footrest for the child.

[0021] The front guard 15 extends in the width direction at a position in front of the seat 20, and is connected to the front of a pair of armrests 16 arranged on both the left and right sides of the seat 20. The front guard 15 may be detachably attached to the armrests 16. The front end of the armrest 16 is connected to the upper ends of the front legs 11, 12, and its rear end is connected to the upper end of a handrail support member 27 (Fig. 2). The lower end of the handrail support member 27 abuts against the rear legs 13, 14, and the handrail support member 27 and the rear legs 13, 14 are locked together.

[0022] The push rod 19 is roughly U-shaped, and its lower end is rotatably attached to an inverted bracket 28 that is connected to the pair of rear legs 13, 14. The push rod 19 is provided so that it can swing back and forth, and can be switched between a forward-facing pushing position (Fig. 1) and a rear-facing pushing position (Fig. 2).

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, a hammock is hung over seat support member 17 and backrest support member 18, and a cushion is attached to the hammock. As a result, a seat section 20, which is a space for accommodating a child, is formed above seat support member 17 and backrest support member 18. In other words, seat support member 17 and backrest support member 18 support seat section 20 from below. As shown in Fig. 1, seat section 20 includes, for example, a seat section 21 that supports the child's buttocks and a backrest section 22 that supports the child's back.

[0024] 3, a front cross bar 17a extending in the width direction and positioned in front of the seat support member 17 and a rear cross bar 17b positioned behind the seat support member 17 are attached to the lower part of the seat support member 17. A partition member 5, which will be described later, is connected to the front cross bar 17a.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 1, a canopy 30 is provided in the space above the seat 20 to cover the space above the seat 20. The canopy 30 is provided so as to be able to open and close. A basket 3 capable of storing items such as luggage is provided in the space below the seat 20. The basket 3 is fixed to a pair of front legs 11, 12 and a pair of rear legs 13, 14 at a midpoint in the vertical direction. The basket 3 will be described later.

[0026] The stroller 1 according to this embodiment can be in an unfolded state and a folded state. To change the stroller 1 from the unfolded state to the folded state, the handrail support member 27 and the pair of rear legs 13, 14 are unlocked, the reversing bracket 28 is turned upside down, and the lower end of the push bar 19, which was abutting the upper part of the pair of rear legs 13, 14, is brought into abutment with the lower part of the rear legs 13, 14. Although not shown in the drawings, when the stroller 1 is folded, the distance between the pair of front legs 11, 12 and the pair of rear legs 13, 14 in the front-to-rear direction becomes closer, and the seat portion 21 and the backrest portion 22 form a V shape.

[0027] First Embodiment The basket 3 of the stroller 1 of this embodiment generally comprises a basket body 4 and a partition member 5. With further reference to Figs. 3 to 5, the basket 3 of the stroller of this embodiment will be described in detail. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the basket seen from the rear, and Figs. 4 and 5 are views showing changes in the position of the partition member, with Figs. 4(A) and 5(A) showing the standing position and Figs. 4(B) and 5(C) showing the folded position. Fig. 5(B) shows a position halfway from the standing position to the folded position. The basket 3 of this embodiment has a shape as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, but is shown in a simplified form in Fig. 5 for ease of understanding.

[0028] The car body 4 includes an opening that opens upward. The car body 4 may be made of a known material, such as cloth or plastic. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5(A), the car body 4 is box-shaped and opens upward, and includes a bottom wall 41 and a peripheral wall that surrounds the bottom wall 41. As shown in FIG. 5(A), the peripheral wall has a front wall 42, a rear wall 43, a right side wall 44, and a left side wall 45. These walls 42, 43, 44, and 45 form four corners that are fixed to a pair of front legs 11 and 12 and a pair of rear legs 13 and 14, respectively.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3, the front wall 42 is suspended between the pair of front legs 11, 12. The rear wall 43 is provided at a position facing the front wall 42 in the front-to-rear direction and is suspended between the pair of rear legs 13, 14. The right side wall 44 is provided at the right end of the front wall 42 and the rear wall 43 and is suspended between the front leg 12 and the rear leg 14. The left side wall 45 is provided at a position facing the right side wall 44 in the left-to-right direction and is suspended between the front leg 11 and the rear leg 13. It is preferable that the upper end of the car body 4 is fixed at a height that is half or less of the height of the front legs 11, 12 and the rear legs 13, 14.

[0030] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the peripheral walls of the basket body 4 do not have to be the same height. Specifically, the front wall 42 is lower than the rear wall 43. This makes it easy to take items in and out of the stroller 1 from the rear. The right side wall 44 and the left side wall 45 have the same shape, but as shown in Figure 2, they may be shaped so that their height is highest at the rear legs 13, 14 from the front to the rear. This makes it possible to prevent items from falling out the sides when taking items in and out of the stroller 1 from the rear.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the bottom wall 41 includes a retaining portion 46 that retains at least a portion of the partition member 5 when the partition member 5 is in the folded position. In this embodiment, the retaining portion 46 is a pocket formed by being superimposed on the bottom wall 41. The pocket 46 has a smaller surface area than the bottom wall 41. Specifically, its widthwise length is approximately the same as that of the bottom wall 41, but its length in the front-to-rear direction is smaller. The pocket 46 is sewn to the surface of the bottom wall 41 to form a bag shape. The pocket 46 is located on the rear wall 43 side, which will be described later, and is formed by sewing the side wall portions 44 and 45 and the rear wall 43 side closed and leaving the front wall 42 side open. The pocket 46 accommodates at least a portion of the partition member 5 when the partition member 5 is in the folded position. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(B) , the pocket 46 accommodates the rear end portion and the connecting portion 56 of the partition member 5.

[0032] The partition member 5 is attached to the car body 4 and can take a variety of forms. Specifically, the partition member 5 is provided so as to be displaceable between a folded position shown in FIG. 4(B) and an upright position shown in FIG. 4(A). In the folded position, the partition member 5 extends along the bottom wall 41 of the car body 4. In the folded position, the partition member 5 functions as the bottom wall 41 of the car body 4. In the upright position, the partition member 5 stands upright relative to the bottom wall 41. When the partition member 5 is in the folded position, it can be used widely without dividing the storage space, but when in the upright position, the partition member 5 divides the storage space 60 into two spaces: a front storage space 61 and a rear storage space 62.

[0033] Referring to Fig. 3, the partition member 5 includes a main body portion 50 and a connecting portion 56 attached to the main body portion 50 and detachably provided on the body frame 10. The main body portion 50 is planar, and specifically has a generally rectangular shape in a plan view. The main body portion 50 may be made of the same material as the basket main body 4, such as fabric or plastic. Specifically, the main body portion 50 is preferably hard enough to be self-supporting, and a core material or cushioning material may be covered with fabric.

[0034] The width dimension of the main body 50 is preferably approximately the same as the width dimension of the bottom wall 41 of the car body 4. The height dimension of the main body 50 preferably extends to reach the lower end of the seat 21 of the body frame 10. As shown in FIG. 4(A), the main body 50 of this embodiment has a shape that extends obliquely upward and forward when in the upright position, so the height of the main body 50 is greater than the height from the bottom wall 41 of the car body 4 to the lower end of the seat 21. Furthermore, when the partition member 5 is in the folded position, the main body 50 is aligned with the bottom wall 41 of the car body 4. Therefore, the height dimension of the main body 50 is preferably smaller than the dimension from the fixing portion 55 to the rear end of the bottom wall 41 (arrow L in FIG. 4).

[0035] As shown in Fig. 3, a fixing portion 55 for fixing the main body portion 50 to the bottom wall portion 41 of the car main body 4 is provided at the lower end of the main body portion 50. The fixing portion 55 is, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a line fastener, and is provided detachably with respect to the bottom wall portion 41, but may also be fixed to the bottom wall portion 41, for example, by sewing or bonding. As shown in Fig. 4(A), the fixing portion 55 is provided forward of the center position of the car main body 4 in the fore-and-aft direction.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting portion 56 is attached to the upper end of the main body 50. In this embodiment, a pair of connecting portions 56 are provided with a gap in the width direction and are composed of a band-shaped member and a hook attached to each end of the band-shaped member. The connecting portion 56 is connected to the front cross bar 17a provided on the underside of the seat portion 21. Specifically, the band-shaped member of the connecting portion 56 is wrapped around the front cross bar 17a and fastened with a hook. The connecting portion 56 is not limited to a band-shaped member and a hook, and may be any other member that can be attached to and detached from the body frame 10, such as a hook or a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0037] The connecting portion 56 does not have to be a pair of strip-shaped members, but may be configured such that the upper end of the main body portion 50 extends with its width intact and is wrapped around and fixed to the front cross bar 17a. Although the connecting portion 56 has been described as being supported by the front cross bar 17a, it may also be fixed to the rear cross bar 17b located at the rear, or may be connected to, for example, the front legs 11, 12 or the rear legs 13, 14, and the connecting point of the connecting portion 56 may be any point on the body frame 10. Furthermore, the connecting point of the connecting portion 56 is not limited to the body frame 10, but may be at least one of the peripheral wall portions, that is, the front wall portion 42, the rear wall portion 43, or the side wall portions 44, 45.

[0038] (About usage) The manner in which the car 3 is used will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Figures 4(A) and 5(A) correspond to each other, and Figures 4(B) and 5(C) correspond to each other, showing the state in which the partition member is in the folded position. Figure 5(B) shows the state in which the partition member has been displaced from the upright position to the folded position.

[0039] 4(A) and 5(A) show the partition member in the "upright position." As shown in these figures, the partition member 5 of this embodiment extends perpendicular to the bottom wall portion 41 of the car body 4. As shown in FIG. 4(A) in particular, the partition member 5 is held in place by connecting the connecting portion 56 to the front cross bar 17a. This divides the storage space of the car 3 into a front storage space 61 located on the front legs 11, 12 side and a rear storage space 62 located on the rear legs 13, 14 side. The front storage space 61 is smaller than the rear storage space 62.

[0040] In terms of usage, the front storage space 61, which has a smaller storage capacity, can store small items such as shoes, small balls, and water bottles. The rear storage space 62, which has a larger storage capacity than the front storage space 61, can store bulky items such as groceries purchased at a supermarket, clothes, and large balls. Furthermore, since the front storage space 61 is a space that may be hit by the feet of a child seated in the stroller 1, it can be used to store items that can get dirty or items that are not used frequently. On the other hand, the rear storage space 62 is a space that is easy for the user to use when the push bar 19 is in the rear push position (Fig. 1), so it can be used to store frequently used items or groceries and hygiene products that should not be hit by a child's feet.

[0041] When the partition member 5 is in the upright position, the storage space is divided into two, making it impossible to store large items. In such cases, the partition member 5 can be moved from the upright position to the folded position. Specifically, the hook of the connecting portion 56 that is wound around and connected to the front horizontal bar 17a (FIG. 3) is unhooked, and the main body portion 50 is then folded down toward the bottom wall portion 41, as shown in FIG. 5(B).

[0042] 4(B) and 5(C) show the partition member in the "folded position." As shown in these figures, the partition member 5 of this embodiment can be placed in the folded position by aligning the main body portion 50 with the bottom wall portion 41. The partition member 5 is stacked on the bottom wall portion 41. This allows the storage space 60 of the car body 4 to be used as one large car without being divided by the partition member 5. In addition, because the rear end portion and connecting portion 56 of the partition member 5 are stored in the pocket portion 46 of the bottom wall portion 41, the partition member 5 in the folded position does not move up and down. As a result, the partition member 5 functions as part of the bottom wall portion 41 of the car body 4.

[0043] The stroller basket of this embodiment is provided with a partition member 5 that can be displaced between a folded position and an upright position relative to the basket body 4, so the size of the storage space can be easily changed to suit the user's convenience, for example, by placing it in the upright position when there are few items to store, and in the folded position when there are many items to store. This makes it easy to change the size of the storage space depending on the items to be stored, making it easy to use.

[0044] Furthermore, even when the partition member 5 is not in use, it is sufficient to simply move it to the folded position. Therefore, even when it is desired to use the basket more widely, there is no need to remove the partition member 5 from the basket body 4, so there is no risk of losing the partition member 5 and no problem with where to store it.

[0045] <Second embodiment> With reference to Figs. 6 to 8, the partition member of the basket of the stroller according to the second embodiment will be described. The basket 3A of this embodiment is provided in the lower region of the seat 20 (Fig. 1) of the stroller 1 described above, similar to the basket 3 of the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a plan view of the partition member of this embodiment. Figs. 7 and 8 are views showing the basket according to the embodiment of the present invention, with Fig. 7(A) showing the partition member in an upright position and Fig. 7(B) showing the partition member in a folded position. Fig. 8 shows the partition member displaced from the upright position to the folded position. Only the differences from the partition member shown in the first embodiment will be described in detail.

[0046] The partition member 5A of this embodiment includes, in addition to the main body portion 50, a pair of side portions 51A provided at both widthwise ends of the main body portion 50. The side portions 51A have, for example, a shape that protrudes downward and has an arc-shaped outer shape. The material of the side portions 51A may be the same as that of the main body portion 50, but from the viewpoint of foldability, which will be described later, it is preferable that the material of the side portions 51A be softer than that of the main body portion 50. Specifically, the material of the side portions 51A may be only a fabric material, or a cushion material covered with a fabric material.

[0047] The side surface portion 51A has a first side surface portion 52A continuing from the main body portion 50 and a second side surface portion 53A continuing from the first side surface portion 52A. The boundary line between the first side surface portion 52A and the main body portion 50 and the boundary line between the first side surface portion 52A and the second side surface portion 53A are fold lines, more specifically, seam lines.

[0048] A side fixing portion 54A is provided at the lower end of the second side surface portion 53A. The side fixing portion 54A is similar to the main body fixing portion 55 of the main body portion 50 and is formed, for example, by a hook-and-loop fastener. As shown in FIG. 8(A), the main body fixing portion 55 is fixed to a fixing portion 41a of the bottom wall portion 41 of the car main body 4, and the side fixing portion 54A is fixed to a fixing portion 44a located at the boundary between the bottom wall portion 41 and the side wall portion 45 of the car main body 4. As a result, the side surface portion 51A is provided along the extension direction of the pair of side wall portions 45.

[0049] (About usage) As shown in Fig. 7(A), the partition member 5A of this embodiment is in an upright position perpendicular to the bottom wall portion 41 of the car body 4. Specifically, the main body portion 50 of the partition member 5A divides the storage space in the front-to-rear direction, and the side surface portion 51A is in a state of being along the side walls 44, 45 of the car body 4. As shown in Fig. 7(B), the partition member 5 can be in a folded position by aligning the main body portion 50 with the bottom wall portion 41. This allows the storage space 60 of the car body 4 to be used as one large car without being divided by the partition member 5.

[0050] (Folding procedure) The state in which the partition member 5A is displaced from the upright position to the folded position will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Since the partition member 5 is provided detachably with respect to the car body 4, the method of attaching the partition member 5 to the car body 4 will be first described.

[0051] As shown in Fig. 8(A), a pair of side portions 51A are bent at a right angle relative to the main body portion 50 of the partition member 5A. As shown in Fig. 8(B), in this state, the main body fixing portion 55 of the main body portion 50 is fixed to the fixed portion 41a of the bottom wall portion 41 of the car main body 4, and the side fixing portion 54A is fixed to the fixed portion 44a of the car main body 4. Furthermore, the connecting portion 56 is connected to the front cross bar 17a and fixed so that the main body portion 50 is held in an upright position. This allows the storage space of the car main body 4 to be divided into two areas: a front storage space 61 and a rear storage space 62.

[0052] Next, a method for displacing the partition member 5A to the folded position will be described. With reference to Fig. 8(B), the connecting portion 56 of the partition member 5A is detached from the front cross bar 17a, and the main body portion 50 is tilted toward the bottom wall portion 41 of the car body 4. In this case, as shown in Fig. 8(C), the pair of first side surface portions 52A and the pair of second side surface portions 53A are folded toward the inside in the width direction. In this state, the main body portion 50A is placed along the bottom wall portion 41 of the car body 4, as shown in Fig. 8(D).

[0053] The partition member 5A of this embodiment is provided with a side surface portion 51A, so that stored items will not fall out from the side even if the side wall portions 44, 45 of the basket main body 4 are low in height. Also, since the side surface portion 51 is provided with a side fixing portion 54A, it is easier to make the basket stand on its own than in the first embodiment. Furthermore, in the folded position, the side surface portion 51A is sandwiched between the main body portion 50A and the bottom wall portion 41, so the side surface portion 51A does not get in the way.

[0054] (Modifications of the arrangement of the partition members) A modified example of the arrangement of the partition members will be described with reference to Fig. 9. In the above-described embodiment, the partition members 5, 5A extend in the width direction and divide the storage space in the front-rear direction, but this embodiment differs in the arrangement of the partition members. Only the differences from the arrangement of the partition members 5, 5A shown in the first and second embodiments will be described in detail.

[0055] Referring to Fig. 9(A), a partition member 5B as an example of a modified example extends in the front-to-rear direction and divides the storage space in the width direction. As a result, the partition member 5B divides the storage space of the car body 4 into a left storage space 61B and a right storage space 62B. The left storage space 61B and the right storage space 62B have approximately the same width in the front-to-rear direction. In Fig. 9(A), both storage spaces 61B, 62B are partitioned to have approximately the same size, but they may have different sizes.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 9(B), a partition member 5C as another modified example extends obliquely from the front legs 12 toward the rear legs 13, dividing the storage space obliquely. As a result, the partition member 5C divides the storage space of the basket body 4 into a front storage space 61C and a rear storage space 62C. The front storage space 61C has an opening for putting in and taking out stored items at the front, and is wide at the front and narrows toward the rear. On the other hand, the rear storage space 62C has an opening for putting in and taking out stored items at the rear, and is wide at the rear and narrows toward the front. With this configuration, the front storage space 61C and the rear storage space 62C both have wide openings, making it easy to put in and take out items, and long items can be stored in either space.

[0057] In this way, the partition members 5 to 5C may divide the storage space 60 into at least two or more spaces, for example, by dividing the storage space 60 into at least two spaces, a first storage space and a second storage space.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the partition members 5, 5A are provided with connecting portions 56, but it is sufficient that they are provided with at least a main body portion that separates the storage space, and they may be self-supporting by being sandwiched between the bottom wall portion 41 and the back surface of the seat portion 21, for example.

[0059] In addition, in the above embodiment, the storage space is partitioned into two spaces, but it may be partitioned into multiple spaces. In that case, multiple partitions may be provided in one basket.

[0060] Although the main body 50 of the partition member 5 has been described as being planar, it may have a crease extending in the width direction near the center of its height direction so that it can be folded in half. By forming it in this manner, the fixing point to the car body 4 is not limited.

[0061] Furthermore, although the main body 50 is described as extending to a position that reaches the lower end of the seat 40, it is sufficient that it extends to a height that reaches the peripheral wall of the car main body 4, for example, the upper end of the front wall 42, and it is not necessary for it to completely separate the storage space.

[0062] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the car body 4 is described as being box-shaped, but the shape of the car body 4 is not limited thereto and may be, for example, a polygonal shape or a circle in a plan view. Furthermore, the peripheral wall portion is formed by four wall portions 42, 43, 44, and 45, but it is sufficient that at least three sides are provided, and specifically, the rear wall portion 43 does not need to be provided. When the car body 4 is box-shaped, the four corner portions are described as being fixed to the front legs 11 and 12 and the rear legs 13 and 14, respectively, but they may be located on the front legs 11 and 12 and the rear legs 13 and 14 sides, respectively, and the car body 4 may be held by the body frame 10 and may be suspended from the seat support member 17, for example.

[0063] In the above embodiment, a pocket 46 is provided on the bottom wall portion 41 of the basket main body 4, but any means may be used as long as it holds the partition member 5 on the bottom wall portion 41 so that it does not move when the partition member 5 is in the folded position, and may be, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener or a hook fastener provided partially, or a wire fastener or a belt provided along the width direction of the bottom wall portion 41 of the basket main body 4.

[0064] Although the partition members 5, 5A, 5B, and 5C in the above embodiment are attached to the basket body 4 of the stroller, they may be provided separately as partition members to be used in the basket body 4 of the stroller 1. In that case, the partition member only needs to have a planar main body and a connecting part that is attached to the main body and detachably provided on the body frame. The above-mentioned modified examples of the partition member are also applicable to partition members that are provided separately.

[0065] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiments within the same scope as the present invention or within an equivalent scope. [Explanation of symbols]
