Stroller Handle Adapter Sliding Lock for Flexible Seat Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stroller apparatuses with multiple seats have large frame structures that are difficult to maneuver, store, and transport, and the seats are often positioned far from caregivers, limiting interaction.
Innovation Solution
A child stroller apparatus with a mount system that includes pivotally connected frames and adjustable adapters for detachable parts, allowing sliding and locking mechanisms for flexible installation of child seats and other components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a stroller apparatus is configured to include one or multiple seats to transport one or more children, then the capacity to transport children is improved, but the frame structure becomes very large which makes it difficult to maneuver, store and transport
Solution Approach 1:
The stroller frame is divided into a standing frame and a push handle frame that can be pivotally connected or separated. This segmentation allows the push handle frame with seats to be detached from the standing frame, reducing the overall size for storage and transport while maintaining the capability to carry one or multiple children when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The push handle frame is pivotally connected to the standing frame, enabling dynamic reconfiguration. The push handle frame can be pivoted to different positions or completely detached, allowing the stroller to transition between a compact storage state and an expanded operational state capable of carrying one or multiple children.
2Stability of the object's composition
If seats are installed at fixed positions far from the caregiver, then the structural stability is improved, but the interaction between the child and the caregiver is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The push handle frame with seats can be pivotally connected to the standing frame at different positions. This allows the seat position to be dynamically adjusted - it can be positioned closer to the caregiver for better interaction or farther away for more structural stability, providing flexibility to optimize both interaction and stability based on specific needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The push handle frame serves multiple functions: it can be positioned at different distances from the standing frame to accommodate both close caregiver-child interaction and stable structural configuration. The same frame structure supports both proximity for interaction and distance for stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a large frame structure is used to accommodate multiple seats, then the capacity to transport multiple children is improved, but the difficulty to store and transport increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stroller is segmented into a standing frame and a push handle frame that can be separated. When not in use, the push handle frame with multiple seats can be detached and stored separately, significantly reducing the storage volume required while maintaining the capability to transport multiple children when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The push handle frame is pivotally connected to the standing frame, enabling it to be collapsed or detached when not needed. This dynamic configuration allows the stroller to transition from a large expanded state capable of carrying multiple children to a compact collapsed state for easy storage and transport.

AI summary
A child stroller apparatus includes a standing frame, a push handle frame having a side segment, the side segment being pivotally connected with the standing frame via a pivot connection, an adapter having a coupling portion configured to receive the installation of a detachable part, the adapter being fixedly connected with a handle, the handle having a cavity through which is slidably disposed the side segment so that the handle and the adapter are slidable in unison along the side segment for adjustment, and a locking mechanism for locking the adapter in position on the side segment, the locking mechanism including a release actuator exposed on the handle for operation, the release actuator being operable to cause the locking mechanism to unlock for sliding adjustment of the handle and the adapter along the side segment.
