Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a pushcart 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0012] The pushcart 100 is foldable and can be deployed from a folded state into a baby stroller mode (see FIGS. 1 to 3) or a wagon mode (see FIGS. 4 and 5), and is used to carry infants and luggage and move them manually. In this specification, the right side of the infant sitting on the pushcart 100 will be described as the right, the left side as the left, the front side in the traveling direction of the pushcart 100 as the front, and the rear side in the traveling direction as the rear.

[0013] First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, the pushcart 100 in the deployed state will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the pushcart 100 in the baby stroller mode, FIGS. 2 and 3 are side views of the pushcart 100 in the baby stroller mode, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are side views of the pushcart 100 in the wagon mode. In FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the illustration of the seat 2 and the hood 3 is omitted.

[0014] The pushcart 100 includes a base frame 10 as a base portion to which wheels 1 are attached, a seat frame 20 that supports a seat 2, a link 30 with a handle that is rotatably connected to the base frame 10 and is provided with a handle portion 32a, a support link 40 having one end rotatably connected to the base frame 10 and the other end rotatably connected to the link 30 with a handle, and that supports the seat frame 20, and a first connecting link 50 and a second connecting link 60 that are rotatably connected to the seat frame 20 and the support link 40. In the pushcart 100, the components are common in the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, and it is not necessary to remove or attach components when switching between the two modes. The baby stroller mode and the wagon mode differ in that the angles of the seat frame 20 are different from each other in the deployed state.

[0015] The base frame 10 supports the link 30 with a handle and the support link 40, and is the frame that serves as the base of the pushcart 100. The base frame 10 has a pair of lateral frames 10a that extend in the front-rear direction and are parallel to each other, and a front frame 10b and a rear frame 10c that connect the pair of lateral frames 10a, and is formed in a rectangular shape. At each of the four corners of the base frame 10, a wheel 1 is attached.

[0016] The wheel 1 has a front wheel 1a and a rear wheel 1b. Two front wheels 1a and two rear wheels 1b are provided respectively. The front wheel 1a is attached to the base frame 10 such that the traveling direction can rotate 360 degrees. The rear wheel 1b is attached to the base frame 10 with the traveling direction fixed in the front-rear direction. Thereby, it is easy for a user such as a caregiver to operate the pushcart 100.

[0017] Note that the pushcart 100 may be a three-wheel type with only one front wheel 1a provided. Also, in this embodiment, a rectangular base frame 10 is illustrated as the base portion to which the wheel 1 is attached. However, the base portion is not limited to a rectangular shape. For example, the base portion may be composed of two base portions on the front side and the rear side to which the front wheel 1a and the rear wheel 1b are respectively attached, or may be composed of four base portions to which the four wheels 1 are respectively attached.

[0018] The link 30 with a handle is substantially U-shaped in plan view, and both ends are rotatably connected to the base frame 10 about a rotation axis 31a. The link 30 with a handle has a pair of base links 31 that are rotatably connected to each of the lateral frames 10a of the base frame 10, and a U-shaped handle link 32 that has the function of a handle. The base link 31 and the handle link 32 are rotatably connected to each other. The base link 31 is formed in an arc shape in order to avoid interference with the rear wheel 1b in the folded state of the pushcart 100 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The handle link 32 has a handle portion 32a that a user grips at a part thereof.

[0019] One end of the base link 31 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the horizontal frame 10a via a rotation shaft 31a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the end of the handle link 32 via a rotation shaft 31b.

[0020] The support links 40 are a pair of left and right. One end of each support link 40 is rotatably connected to the front side of the horizontal frame 10a via a rotation shaft 40a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the handle link 32 of the link 30 with a handle via a rotation shaft 40b.

[0021] In the deployed state, the handcart 100 includes a locking mechanism 70 that locks the rotation of the link 30 with a handle and the support links 40 with respect to the base frame 10 by coupling the link 30 with a handle and the support links 40.

[0022] The locking mechanism 70 includes a pin portion 71 provided on the support link 40 (see FIGS. 6 and 7), an engaging portion 72 provided on the handle link 32 of the link 30 with a handle and engaging with the pin portion 71, and a release button 73 provided on the handle link 32 for releasing the engagement between the pin portion 71 and the engaging portion 72. In the deployed state of the handcart 100, the pin portion 71 engages with the engaging portion 72, so that the link 30 with a handle and the support links 40 are coupled, and the rotation of the link 30 with a handle and the support links 40 with respect to the base frame 10 is locked. When folding the handcart 100 from the deployed state, the user operates the release button 73 to release the engagement between the pin portion 71 and the engaging portion 72, making it possible to fold the handcart 100. Note that the engaging portion 72 may be provided on the base link 31 of the link 30 with a handle instead of the handle link 32.

[0023] The seat frame 20 is in an oval ring shape and is supported by the support link 40 via the first connection link 50 and the second connection link 60. The first connection link 50 supports the rear side of the seat frame 20, and the second connection link 60 supports the front side of the seat frame 20. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the seat 2 is attached and supported to the seat frame 20 over the entire circumference. The seat 2 is a sewn product for an infant to sit on or to accommodate luggage.

[0024] A bone portion 3a for supporting the awning 3 (see FIGS. 3 and 5) is attached to the seat frame 20. Three bone portions 3a are provided, and the angle of the awning 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the intervals between the respective bone portions 3a.

[0025] The first connection link 50 and the second connection link 60 each consist of a pair on the left and right. One end side of the first connection link 50 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 20 via a rotation shaft 50a, and the other end side is rotatably connected to the support link 40 via a rotation shaft 50b. Similarly, one end side of the second connection link 60 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 20 via a rotation shaft 60a, and the other end side is rotatably connected to the support link 40 via a rotation shaft 60b.

[0026] The seat frame 20 has different angles in the stroller mode and the wagon mode when the pushcart 100 is in the deployed state. The seat frame 20 is inclined as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in the stroller mode and is substantially horizontal as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the wagon mode. The reason why the angle of the seat frame 20 is different between the stroller mode and the wagon mode is that the positional relationship between the seat frame 20 and the first connecting link 50 is different between the stroller mode and the wagon mode. Specifically, in the stroller mode, as shown in FIG. 2, the first connecting link 50 is located below the seat frame 20. In other words, in the stroller mode, the rotation axis 50a of the first connecting link 50 and the seat frame 20 is located above the rotation axis 50b of the first connecting link 50 and the support link 40. On the other hand, in the wagon mode, as shown in FIG. 4, the first connecting link 50 is located above the seat frame 20. In other words, in the wagon mode, the rotation axis 50a is located below the rotation axis 50b. Thus, in the stroller mode and the wagon mode, the relative vertical positions of the rotation axis 50a and the rotation axis 50b are different. The method of setting this vertical position will be described later.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 5, in the wagon mode, the seat 2 is formed in a box shape, and the bottom surface of the box is substantially horizontal. In the wagon mode, an infant can sit with their legs stretched out or lie down horizontally inside the seat 2. Also, luggage can be stored and carried inside the seat 2.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 3, in the stroller mode, the seat 2 has a backrest portion 2a and a seat surface 2b for a seated infant. The backrest portion 2a and the seat surface 2b are formed by pulling a belt (not shown) provided on the seat 2. In this way, the same seat 2 is used in both the wagon mode and the stroller mode.

[0029] Note that a seat belt (not shown) for fixing an infant to the seat 2 may be provided directly on the seat 2, or may be provided by connecting an external seat with a seat belt attached thereto to the seat 2.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the pushcart 100 further includes an auxiliary link 80 that is rotatably connected to the second connecting link 60 and the base frame 10. The auxiliary link 80 consists of a pair on the left and right. One end is rotatably connected to the second connecting link 60 via a rotating shaft 80a, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lateral frame 10a of the base frame 10 via a rotating shaft 80b.

[0031] One end (one end side) of the second connecting link 60 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 20 via a rotating shaft 60a, the other end (the other end side) is rotatably connected to the auxiliary link 80 via a rotating shaft 80a, and the middle between the one end and the other end is rotatably connected to the support link 40 via a rotating shaft 60b.

[0032] The base frame 10, the support link 40, the second connecting link 60, and the auxiliary link 80 are rotatably connected to form a four-bar link mechanism. When the rotation of the support link 40 with respect to the base frame 10 is locked by the locking mechanism 70, the above four-bar link mechanism is fixed, so the rotation of the second connecting link 60 with respect to the support link 40 is locked. When the rotation of the second connecting link 60 is locked, the four-bar link mechanism composed of the support link 40, the first connecting link 50, the second connecting link 60, and the seat frame 20 is also fixed, so the rotation of the seat frame 20 is locked. Therefore, even if an infant or luggage is placed on the seat frame 20, the seat frame 20 will not move.

[0033] Next, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the pushcart 100 in the folded state will be described. FIG. 6 is a side view of the pushcart 100 in the folded state before being deployed in the baby stroller mode, and FIG. 7 is a side view of the pushcart 100 in the folded state before being deployed in the wagon mode. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the first connecting link 50 is shown by a dashed line, and the illustration of the seat 2 and the awning 3 is omitted.

[0034] In FIGS. 6 and 7, the positions of the seat frame 20 are different. The pushchair 100 assumes a baby stroller mode or a wagon mode when deployed, depending on the position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state. That is, depending on the position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state, the seat frame 20 is deployed in a baby stroller mode or a wagon mode with different angles from each other. This will be described in detail below.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, in the folded state before being deployed in the baby stroller mode, the seat frame 20 is substantially horizontal. In this state, the rotation axis 50a of the seat frame 20 and the first connection link 50 is located relatively above (upper side in the vertical direction) the rotation axis 50b of the support link 40 and the first connection link 50.

[0036] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, in the folded state before being deployed in the wagon mode, the rear side of the seat frame 20 is lowered and is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction. In this state, the rotation axis 50a of the seat frame 20 and the first connection link 50 is located relatively below (lower side in the vertical direction) the rotation axis 50b of the support link 40 and the first connection link 50.

[0037] The position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state is specifically set by gripping and moving the rear side of the seat frame 20, that is, by moving it vertically. In the folded state, the rotation of the second connection link 60 with respect to the support link 40 is not locked, and since the four-bar link mechanism composed of the support link 40, the first connection link 50, the second connection link 60, and the seat frame 20 is not fixed, the seat frame 20 can be moved.

[0038] By lowering the rear side of the seat frame 20 from the state shown in FIG. 6, the state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. When lowering the rear side of the seat frame 20, it is lowered until the rear side of the seat frame 20 contacts the rear frame 10c of the base frame 10. That is, the rear frame 10c functions as a stopper that regulates the movement of the seat frame 20.

[0039] By raising the rear side of the seat frame 20 from the state shown in FIG. 7, the state shown in FIG. 6 is achieved. When raising the rear side of the seat frame 20, raise it until the seat frame 20 can no longer be raised.

[0040] From the folded states shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, by gripping the handle portion 32a and lifting the handle link 32 upward, the handle link 32 rotates clockwise in the drawing about the rotation axis 31b, and the support link 40 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing about the rotation axis 40a. The engaging portion 72 provided on the handle link 32 and the pin portion 71 provided on the support link 40 engage with each other, whereby the handle-attached link 30 and the support link 40 are coupled. As a result, the rotation of the handle-attached link 30 and the support link 40 with respect to the base frame 10 is locked. Along with this lock, the rotation of the second connecting link 60 with respect to the support link 40 is locked, and the rotation of the seat frame 20 is also locked. In this way, the pushcart 100 is deployed.

[0041] In the folded state shown in FIG. 6, the rotation axis 50a of the seat frame 20 and the first connecting link 50 is located relatively above (above in the vertical direction) the rotation axis 50b of the support link 40 and the first connecting link 50, and the seat frame 20 is supported above the support link 40 via the first connecting link 50. Therefore, when the pushcart 100 is deployed from the folded state shown in FIG. 6, the first connecting link 50 moves so as to rotate clockwise about the rotation axis 50a along with the deployment operation, and the seat frame 20 is deployed into a baby stroller mode supported above the support link 40 via the first connecting link 50 (see FIG. 2). In the deployed state of the baby stroller mode, both the first connecting link 50 and the second connecting link 60 are located below the seat frame 20.

[0042] In the folded state shown in FIG. 7, the rotation axis 50a of the seat frame 20 and the first connecting link 50 is located relatively below (lower in the vertical direction) than the rotation axis 50b of the support link 40 and the first connecting link 50, and the seat frame 20 is supported below the support link 40 via the first connecting link 50. Therefore, when the stroller 100 is deployed from the folded state shown in FIG. 7, as the deployment operation progresses, the first connecting link 50 moves so as to rotate counterclockwise about the rotation axis 50b, and the seat frame 20 is deployed into a wagon mode supported below the support link 40 via the first connecting link 50 (see FIG. 4). In the deployed state of the wagon mode, the first connecting link 50 is located above the seat frame 20, while the second connecting link 60 is located below the seat frame 20.

[0043] As described above, by vertically moving (shifting) the seat frame 20 in the folded state and switching the vertical positions of the rotation axis 50a of the seat frame 20 and the first connecting link 50 with respect to the rotation axis 50b of the support link 40 and the first connecting link 50, the angle of the seat frame 20 in the deployed state is changed to an angle corresponding to the baby stroller mode or the wagon mode. When it is desired to deploy in the baby stroller mode, the seat frame 20 may be raised and then deployed. When it is desired to deploy in the wagon mode, the seat frame 20 may be lowered and then deployed. Thus, since the switching between the deployment in the baby stroller mode and the deployment in the wagon mode can be performed simply by changing the position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state, the switching between the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode can be easily performed.

[0044] In the pushcart 100, since the handle portion 32a is common in the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, it is not necessary to remove or attach the handle portion 32a when switching modes. Also, as can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 2 and 4, the position of the handle portion 32a in the unfolded state is the same in the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode. That is, the height of the handle portion 32a, the inclination angle with respect to the ground, the length from the rear wheel 1b, etc. are the same in the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode. Therefore, since the operability of the pushcart 100 does not change with the switching between the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, it is user-friendly.

[0045] In the folded state, a display portion may be provided on the pushcart 100 so that the user can visually recognize whether it is deployed in the baby stroller mode or the wagon mode. Specifically, in the folded state, since the first connecting link 50 and the seat frame 20 have different inclinations in both modes, a level for detecting the inclination may be provided on the first connecting link 50 or the seat frame 20, and a display portion for discriminating and displaying the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode may be provided on the level. Alternatively, a sensor for detecting the inclination may be provided on the first connecting link 50 or the seat frame 20, and a display portion for discriminating and displaying the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode based on the detection result of the sensor may be provided on the handle portion 32a or the like.

[0046] In the folded state, a clamp member for sandwiching the base frame 10 and the link with handle 30 may be provided on the pushcart 100. Since the separation between the base frame 10 and the link with handle 30 is restricted by the clamp member, rattling between the base frame 10 and the link with handle 30 in the folded state can be prevented. Also, if a grip portion that can be gripped by the user is provided on the clamp member, the pushcart 100 in the folded state can be easily carried. The clamp member may be configured as an independent separate part, but it is preferably provided fixed to the base frame 10.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the folded state, the rear end face 72a of the engaging portion 72 is formed flat in the vertical direction. Therefore, in the folded state, by bringing the end face 72a of the engaging portion 72 into contact with the ground, the handcart 100 stands on its own by the engaging portion 72 and the rear wheels 1b (stands on its own in a state rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7). If the base frame 10 and the link 30 with a handle are clamped by the clamp member, even when the handcart 100 is in a self-standing state, the base frame 10 and the link 30 with a handle do not separate, and a stable self-standing state is maintained.

[0048] According to the above embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0049] In the handcart 100, the position of the handle portion 32a in the deployed state is the same in both the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode. Therefore, since the operability of the handcart 100 does not change with the switching between the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, it is user-friendly.

[0050] The switching between the deployment of the handcart 100 to the baby stroller mode and the deployment to the wagon mode can be performed simply by changing the position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state. Therefore, the switching between the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode can be easily performed.

[0051] Since the handcart 100 has two modes, namely the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, it can be used appropriately according to the application, for example, in the baby stroller mode when carrying an infant and in the wagon mode when carrying luggage. Also, after child-rearing is over, it can be used as a wagon dedicated to carrying luggage. In this way, it is economical because there is no need to purchase both a baby stroller and a wagon.

[0052] Hereinafter, the configuration, operation, and effects of the embodiment of the present invention will be collectively described.

[0053] The pushcart 100 that can be deployed from the folded state to the baby stroller mode or the wagon mode includes a base frame 10 to which wheels 1 are attached, a seat frame 20 that supports a seat 2, a link 30 with a handle that is rotatably connected to the base frame 10 and is provided with a handle portion 32a, and a support link 40 whose one end side is rotatably connected to the base frame 10 and whose other end side is rotatably connected to the link 30 with a handle and supports the seat frame 20. Depending on the position of the seat frame 20 in the folded state, it is deployed to the baby stroller mode or the wagon mode in which the angles of the seat frame 20 are different from each other, and the position of the handle portion 32a in the deployed state is the same in both the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode.

[0054] In this configuration, since the operability of the pushcart 100 does not change with the switching between the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, it is user-friendly.

[0055] Further, the pushcart 100 further includes a first connecting link 50 and a second connecting link 60 that are rotatably connected to the seat frame 20 and the support link 40. In the deployed state of the baby stroller mode, both the first connecting link 50 and the second connecting link 60 are located below the seat frame 20. In the deployed state of the wagon mode, the first connecting link 50 is located above the seat frame 20 while the second connecting link 60 is located below the seat frame 20.

[0056] In this configuration, in the deployed states of the baby stroller mode and the wagon mode, the seat frame 20 is set at different angles due to the different positional relationships between the seat frame 20 and the first connecting link 50.

[0057] Further, the pushcart 100 further includes an auxiliary link 80 that is rotatably connected to the second connecting link 60 and the base frame 10. One end side of the second connecting link 60 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 10, the other end side is rotatably connected to the auxiliary link 80, and the middle between the one end side and the other end side is rotatably connected to the support link 40.

[0058] In this configuration, the rotation of the second connecting link 60 can be locked by the auxiliary link 80, and the rotation of the seat frame 20 can be locked.

[0059] Further, in the deployed state, the handcart 100 further includes a locking mechanism 70 that locks the rotation of the link 30 with a handle and the support link 40 with respect to the base frame 10 by connecting the link 30 with a handle and the support link 40.

[0060] In this configuration, the deployed state of the handcart 100 can be stabilized.

[0061] As described above, embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the above embodiments merely show a part of application examples of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the specific configurations of the above embodiments.
