FIG. 2B shows a state in which the push rod is in the back push position. In order to facilitate the understanding of the invention, the body frame of the back-to-face switchable baby carriage is mainly shown in the drawings, and the illustration of the infant seat and the like is omitted. In particular, in FIGS. 1 to 6, only the hood bone is shown, and the hood cloth and the auxiliary hood bone are omitted. In the following description, the front-rear direction corresponds to the front-rear direction of the baby carriage, and the left-right direction corresponds to the left-right direction seen from the front of the baby carriage.

The baby carriage 1 of the present embodiment includes a pair of front legs 11, a pair of rear legs 13, an armrest 15, an armrest support member 17, a seat support member 18, and a backrest support member 19 as a vehicle body frame 10. The vehicle body frame 10 excluding the seat support member 18 and the backrest support member 19 is provided on the left and right sides apart from each other in the width direction (vehicle width direction) to form a pair.

A front wheel 12 is provided at the lower end of each front leg 11 extending in the vertical direction. A rear wheel 14 is provided at the lower end of each rear leg 13 extending in the vertical direction behind each front leg 11. The lower ends of the pair of front legs 11 are connected by a front leg connecting member 21 extending in the width direction. The front leg connecting member 21 also functions as a footrest for an infant. The lower ends of the pair of hind legs 13 are connected by hind leg connecting members 22 extending in the width direction.

As particularly shown in FIG. 2B, the upper end of the front leg 11 is rotatably connected to the front end of the armrest 15 extending in the front-rear direction of the baby carriage 1. The upper end of the rear leg 13 is rotatably connected to the front end region of the armrest 15 behind the upper end of the front leg 11. Further, the thickness in the width direction of the front leg 11 and the thickness in the width direction of the rear leg 13 are substantially the same. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle body frame 10 is observed from the front-rear direction, the front legs 11 and the rear legs 13 appear to be aligned and overlapped so as to coincide with each other in the width direction.

As particularly shown in FIG. 2A, the rear end portion of the armrest 15 is rotatably connected to the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17 extending in the vertical direction via a rotation shaft 33. Specifically, the rear end portion of the armrest 15 and the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17 are also connected to the hood 30 via a rotation shaft 33. Further, the thickness in the width direction of the armrest 15 and the thickness in the width direction of the armrest support member 17 are substantially the same. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the vehicle body frame 10 is observed from the front-rear direction, the front legs 11, the rear legs 13, the armrests 15, and the armrest support members 17 are aligned and appear to overlap.

As particularly shown in FIG. 2A, the seat support member 18 is arranged below the armrest 15. The front end portion of the seat support member 18 is connected to the central portion of the pair of front legs 11. The rear end portion of the seat support member 18 is rotatably connected to the lower end portion of the push rod 20, the upper end portion of the reversing bracket 23, and the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 via the swing shaft 24. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear end portion of the seat support member 18 and the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 (which overlaps the armrest 15 and the upper part of the front leg 11 and cannot be visually recognized) are connected via the connecting portion 17a. ing. The connecting portion 17a may be a member that extends in the width direction and has a thickness, may be a member different from the seat support member 18 and the armrest support member 17, or may be a member of the seat support member 18 or the armrest support member 17. It may be a part.

The rear end portion of the seat support member 18 is rotatably connected to the lower end portion of the backrest support member 19 at a position different from that of the swing shaft 24. The seat support member 18 supports the infant's seat from below, and the backrest support member 19 supports the infant's backrest from below. Although not shown, a hammock is hung on the seat support member 18 and the backrest support member 19, and a cushion is attached on the hammock. As a result, a seat surface forming the seat portion is formed on the seat support member 18, and the seat support member 18 supports the seat surface from below.

The push rod 20 is provided so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction with respect to the vehicle body frame 10, and is between the face-to-face push position (FIGS. 1, FIG. 2 (a), FIG. 3) and the back push position (FIG. 2 (b)). It can be switched with. Specifically, the swing shaft 24 is arranged at a position adjacent to the rear leg 13.

The armrest support member 17 is a member that extends vertically. The upper end of the armrest support member 17 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the armrest 15. The lower end of the armrest support member 17 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the push rod 20, the upper end of the reversing bracket 23, and the rear end of the seat support member 18 via the swing shaft 24.

The lower end of the armrest support member 17 is provided so as to be switchable between a position where the armrest support member 17 is locked and a position where the rear leg 13 is unlocked. The position where the armrest support member 17 is locked with respect to the rear leg 13 is the running state shown in FIG. 1, and is the position where the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 and the central portion of the rear leg 13 come into contact with each other. The position where the armrest support member 17 is unlocked with respect to the rear leg 13 is the position where the lower end of the armrest support member 17 and the lower end of the rear leg 13 come into contact with each other in the folded state shown in FIG. Specifically, a lock portion (not shown) that can be locked to the rear leg 13 is provided at the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17, and the rear leg 13 and the armrest are unlocked by unlocking the lock portion. The lock of the support member 17 is released. With such a configuration, the baby carriage 1 can be folded. A lock portion that can be locked to the rear leg 13 may be provided at the upper end of the reversing bracket 23.

(About the front guard)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the front guard 16 is provided in front of the seat portion and crosses the seat portion in the width direction. Both ends of the front guard 16 in the width direction are provided at positions separated inward from the armrest 15. In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, both ends of the front guard 16 in the width direction are located apart from the armrest 15 by the space region S. The space region S is a region extending in the vertical direction between the pair of armrests 15 and both ends of the front guard 16, and is particularly a region above the seat support member 18. The space region S is a region that can be positioned when the medial hood bone 31, which will be described later, is rotated forward. That is, the width direction dimension of the space region S is at least the width direction dimension of the medial hood bone 31.

As described above, both ends in the width direction of the front guard 16 are connected to the rear ends of the seat support member 18 and both ends in the width direction via the connecting portions 17a. As a result, the width direction dimension of the space region S coincides with the width direction dimension of the connecting portion 17a that connects the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 and the rear end portion of the seat support member 18. That is, both ends of the front guard 16 in the width direction are located apart from the armrest 15 by the width dimension of the connecting portion 17a. Although the front guard 16 has been described as being connected to the rear end portion of the seat support member 18, it may be connected to the vehicle body frame 10, for example, the front end portion of the seat support member 8, the rear leg 13, or the seat support member 8. It may be connected to an armrest support member 17 or the like.

(About folding structure)
Next, the folding structure of the baby carriage 1 will be described. As described above, the rear end of the seat support member 18, the lower end of the armrest support member 17, the lower end of the push rod 20, and the upper end of the reversing bracket 23 are connected to each other via the swing shaft 24. .. Further, the lower end portion of the armrest support member 17 is provided so as to be switchable between a position where the armrest support member 17 is locked and a position where the armrest support member 17 is unlocked with respect to the rear leg 13.

In order to change from the unfolded state (backward pushing position) shown in FIG. 1 to the folded state shown in FIG. 4, the lock portion at the lower end of the armrest support member 17 and the rear leg 13 are unlocked, and the reversing bracket 23 is moved up and down. It is inverted so that the lower end of the push rod 20 that has been in contact with the upper part of the rear leg 13 is brought into contact with the lower part of the rear leg 13. In such a folded state, as shown in FIG. 4, the front legs 11 and the rear legs 13 are closer to each other in the front-rear direction, and the front guard 16 rises upward along the push rod 20. As a result, the front guard 16 that stands up can be used as a handle for carrying around.

Further, when the conventional baby carriage in which the front guard is provided at the front end of the armrest is folded, the front guard stands up further above the armrest, so that the front guard is an obstacle. In the present embodiment, since the front guard 16 is located below the armrest 15 in the folded state, the front guard 16 does not get in the way.

In order to change from the folded state shown in FIG. 4 to the unfolded state (backward pushing position) shown in FIG. It is brought into contact with the upper part of the hind legs 13. In this state, the lock portion at the lower end of the armrest support member 17 and the rear leg 13 are locked. In this way, the form of the vehicle body frame 10 changes from the unfolded state (backward pushing position) shown in FIG. 1 to the folded state shown in FIG. 4 or vice versa.

(About the hood)
The hood 30 covers the upper region of the seat portion. The hood 30 includes a medial hood bone 31, a lateral hood bone 32, a hood cloth 34, and auxiliary hood bones 35, 36, 37. In FIGS. 1 to 6, the hood cloth 34 and the auxiliary hood bones 35, 36, and 37 are not shown. First, the medial hood bone 31 and the lateral hood bone 32 will be described.

The lower end portion of the medial hood bone 31 and the lateral hood bone 32 is connected to the rotation shaft 33 so that the angle between the medial hood bone 31 and the lateral hood bone 32 is variable. The lower ends of the medial hood bone 31 and the lateral hood bone 32 are rotatably connected by a ratchet mechanism, and can be fixed at any angle. FIG. 7 (a) is a diagram showing a state in which the hood 30 is completely open, FIG. 7 (b) is a diagram showing a state in which a part of the hood bone is folded, and FIG. 7 (c) is a diagram showing a state in which a hood is partially folded. It is a figure which shows the state which the bone is further folded. The medial hood bone 31 and the lateral hood bone 32 are each rotatably attached in the anteroposterior direction. The medial hood bone 31 is an anterior hood bone located inward in the width direction with respect to the pair of armrests 15 and located in front of the seat portion. The lateral hood bone 32 is a posterior hood bone located outward in the width direction with respect to the pair of armrests 15 and located behind the seat portion. Therefore, in the following description, the medial hood bone 31 is referred to as the anterior hood bone, and the lateral hood bone 32 is referred to as the posterior hood bone.

The anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 have a bent shape extending rearward from the rotation shaft 33 and then rising upward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 are connected to the support portions 31a and 32a attached to the rotation shaft 33 and the support portions 31a and 32a, and the main body is viewed from the front. It has parts 31b and 32b.

The support portions 31a and 32a have an inverted L-shape when viewed from the side, and have a first portion close to the rotation shaft 33 and a second portion extending from the first portion. The angle formed by the first portion and the second portion is approximately 90 degrees. As a result, the total length of the hood bone can be increased and a wide area can be covered as compared with the conventional hood bone having a shape extending in a straight line. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent finger pinching of infants.

An opening is provided at the upper end of the support portions 31a and 32a, and the end portions of the main body portions 31b and 32b are inserted into the opening. In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, in the portions where the openings of the support portions 31a and 32a are provided, the portions facing each other have a convex shape, but all of them may have a convex shape toward the outside in the width direction. .. The main bodies 31b and 32b are made of, for example, synthetic resin, and have a certain degree of flexibility. Further, the main body portions 31b and 32b are elongated and form an inverted U shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the main bodies 31b and 32b of the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32 have, for example, a substantially rectangular shape in cross-sectional view.

As shown in FIG. 3, the anterior hood bone 31 is provided so as to be located in the space region S between the pair of armrests 15 and both ends of the anterior guard 16. The posterior hood bone 32 is provided so as to be located outward in the width direction of the pair of armrests 15. That is, the anterior hood bone 31 is provided at a position that does not overlap both ends of the armrest 15 and the anterior guard 16 in the width direction. Further, the posterior hood bone 32 is provided at a position that does not overlap with the armrest 15 in the width direction.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the rotation shaft 33 connects the anterior hood bone 31, the posterior hood bone 32, the rear end portion of the armrest 15, and the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17. As particularly shown in FIG. 6, the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 sandwich the rear end portion of the armrest 15. Similarly, the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 sandwich the upper end portion of the armrest support member 17. As a result, the anterior hood bone 31, the posterior hood bone 32, and the armrest 15 and the armrest support member 17 are displaced from each other in the width direction.

Next, the hood cloth 34 and the auxiliary hood bones 35, 36, 37 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

The hood cloth 34 is hung over the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 to form a dome-shaped three-dimensional shape. As shown in FIG. 9, the hood cloth 34 typically has a two-layer structure and includes an outer cloth 34a and an inner cloth 34b that cover the outer and inner sides of the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32, respectively. The outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b are sewn, for example, at the outer peripheral edge of each cloth.

A plurality of first and second auxiliary hood bones 35 and 36 that are not connected to the rotation shaft 33 are provided between the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32. The first auxiliary hood bone 35 is located on the anterior hood bone 31 side, and the second auxiliary hood bone 36 is located on the posterior hood bone 32 side. The distances between the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32 and the first and second auxiliary hood bones 35 and 36 are substantially the same. The outer and inner sides of the first and second auxiliary hood bones 35 and 36 are covered with the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the hood cloth 34, similarly to the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32. The first and second auxiliary hood bones 35 and 36 are made of, for example, synthetic resin and have some flexibility, but are more flexible than the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32. The first and second auxiliary hood bones 35 and 36 have substantially the same shape and have a long shape extending linearly, but because they are sandwiched between the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the hood cloth 34 described above. , An inverted U shape similar to the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32.

A third auxiliary hood bone 37 is provided behind the posterior hood bone 32, and the hood cloth 34 is also hung on the third auxiliary hood bone 37. The third auxiliary hood bone 37 has substantially the same shape as the first and second auxiliary hood bones 37, but is formed to be shorter in the longitudinal direction than the third auxiliary hood bone 37. As a result, the third auxiliary hood bone 37 has a shape that fits the backrest portion, and the back of the backrest portion can be covered with the hood cloth 34.

A visor portion 38 is provided in front of the anterior hood bone 31. The visor portion 38 is not connected to the rotation shaft 33 and projects forward from the anterior hood bone 31. The outside and inside of the visor portion 38 are also covered with the outer cloth 34a and the inner cloth 34b of the hood cloth 34. The visor portion 38 is made of a plate-shaped synthetic resin and has a curved shape that follows the shape of the anterior hood bone 31. By providing the visor portion 38, it is possible to further block the sunlight.

In order to reduce the influence of dust and radiant heat from the road surface, the height of the seat surface of the baby carriage in recent years is higher than that of the conventional baby carriage. On the other hand, since the height of the push rod is adjusted to the position of the human hand, it remains the same as the height of the conventional push rod. Therefore, when the hood is attached to the armrest, the length of the hood bone is shortened and the seating area covered by the hood is reduced, which gives an infant a feeling of oppression when the hood is open. The baby carriage 1 of the present embodiment is characterized in that by devising the structure of the hood 30, the space covered by the hood 30 is increased without changing the height of the push rod 20 while raising the seat surface. There is.

Since the conventional baby carriage is provided with a front guard, even if the hood is opened forward, the hood interferes with the front guard, so that the hood cannot be opened to the front of the front guard. In the present embodiment, since the space area S is provided between the armrest 15 and the front guard 16, the medial hood bone 31 can be located in the space area S. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7A, the front hood bone 31 and the front guard 16 do not interfere with each other, so that the hood 30 can cover the front of the seat portion. Further, since the posterior hood bone 32 is located outside the armrest 15 in the width direction, the posterior space covered by the hood 30 can be made wider than the anterior space. From the above, the entire upper region of the seat portion covered by the hood 30 can be made into a closed space, and the entire upper region of the seat portion covered by the hood 30 can be enlarged, so that the feeling of oppression on the infant can be reduced. can.

Further, the conventional baby carriage has a shape in which the hood is attached to the upper end of the armrest support member connected to the armrest, and the rotation axis of the hood is located behind and above the armless, so that the length of the hood bone is shortened. rice field. In the present embodiment, since the anterior and posterior hood bones 31 and 32 are rotatably provided via the rotation shaft 33 connecting the armrest 15 and the armrest support member 17, the position of the hood bone is positioned by the conventional baby carriage. Can be forward and downward. This also makes it possible to increase the space covered by the hood 30, and the entire upper region of the seat portion can be covered by the hood 30.

Further, in the present embodiment, the medial hood bone 31 is provided inside the armrest 15 in the width direction, and the push rod 20 does not interfere with the hood 30, so that the push rod 20 faces the hood 30 even when the hood 30 is open. It is possible to switch between the pushed state and the back pushed state.

As described above, the hood 30 is foldable so that the angles of the hoods 30 are variable. In the present embodiment, the holder 40 is used to change the opening degree of the hood 30. Hereinafter, the holder 40 will be described.

(About the holder)
Next, the holder 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. The holder 40 is attached to the portion where the posterior hood bone 32 is located, and holds the second auxiliary hood bone 36 or the first auxiliary hood bone 35 from above. FIG. 7B shows a state in which the holder 40 holds the second auxiliary hood bone 36. FIG. 7C shows a state in which the holder 40 holds the first auxiliary hood bone 35. When the holder 40 holds the first auxiliary hood bone 35, it is possible to close the hood 30 more than holding the second auxiliary hood bone 36.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 (a), the holder 40 of the present embodiment is the outer cloth of the hood cloth 34 located in the upper part of the posterior hood bone 32, that is, in the vicinity of the posterior hood bone 32. Although sewn on 34a, it may be attached directly to the posterior hood bone 32. The holder 40 may be attached to a portion located above the anterior hood bone 31 instead of the posterior hood bone 32.

As shown in FIG. 9A, the holder 40 has a holder main body 41 and an inverted U-shaped receiving opening 42. The holder body 41 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin. The holder body 41 includes a first portion 41a having a receiving opening 42 and a second portion 41b having a flat shape. The outer shape of the first portion 41a of the present embodiment is also inverted U-shaped, but the outer shape is not limited as long as the receiving opening 42 is inverted U-shaped. The second portion 41b has a plate shape, and a through hole 46 is formed. A strip-shaped member 47 penetrates through the through hole 46. As a result, the holder 40 is attached to the hood cloth 34 located above the posterior hood bone 32 via the band-shaped member 47.

The receiving opening 42 includes a semicircular semicircular groove 43 located on the back side and a guide groove 44 extending from the semicircular groove 43 to the opening edge. The opening width of the guide groove portion 44 is slightly smaller than the diameter (opening width) of the semicircular groove portion 43. Further, the opening width of the semicircular groove 43 is smaller than the width of the second auxiliary hood 36 covered by the hood cloth 34. The opening width of the guide groove portion 44 is substantially the same as the width of the second auxiliary hood bone 36 covered with the hood cloth 34. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the second auxiliary hood bone 36 covered with the hood cloth 34 passes through the guide groove portion 44 from the opening edge of the holder 40 and is located above the semicircular groove portion 43. It is held inside.

With such a configuration, by using the holder 40, even when the anterior hood bone 31 and the posterior hood bone 32 are used with the opening angle narrowed, the first auxiliary that is not connected to the rotation shaft 33 is used. The hood cloth 34 hung between the hood bone 35 or the second auxiliary hood bone 36 and the anterior hood bone 31 can be put into a tense state, and the hood cloth 34 can be prevented from loosening. Further, since it is sufficient to hold the second auxiliary hood bone 36 from above with the holder 40, the second auxiliary hood bone 36 can be removed from the holder 40 with one hand when the hood 30 is opened. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the opening degree of the hood 30 with a simple configuration.

Although the holder 40 of the present embodiment has been described as being attached to the portion where the anterior hood bone 31 or the posterior hood bone 32 is located, it is attached to the portion where the auxiliary hood bones 35, 36, 37 are located. May be good. That is, the place where the holder 40 is attached may be either a hood bone connected to the rotation shaft or an auxiliary hood bone not connected to the rotation shaft. For example, the holder 40 may be provided at the portion where the auxiliary hood bone is located, and the hood bone or the auxiliary hood bone may be held by the holder 40. Even in this case, by using the holder 40, it is possible to prevent the hood cloth from loosening, and it is possible to easily adjust the opening degree of the hood 30 with a simple configuration.

Further, the hood 30 of the present embodiment includes anterior and posterior hood bones 31, 32 connected to the rotation shaft 33, and auxiliary hood bones 35, 36, 37 not connected to the rotation shaft 33. bottom. However, two or more hood bones of the hood 30 may be provided regardless of whether they are connected to the rotating shaft 33.

Further, in the present embodiment, the medial hood bone 31 located on the medial side in the width direction is the anterior hood bone, and the lateral hood bone 32 located on the lateral side in the width direction is the posterior hood bone.
