BRAKE BALANCER FOR A STROLLER

摘要

A brake system for applying frictional braking to a mobility assembly of a stroller may include a first brake assembly, a second brake assembly, an operator and a brake balancer. The first brake assembly may be operably coupled to a first wheel of the mobility assembly and to a first cable. The second brake assembly may be operably coupled to a second wheel of the mobility assembly and to a second cable. The operator may be configured to be actuated by a user to apply tension to a third cable. The brake balancer may be operably coupled to the first and second brake assemblies and to the operator via the first, second and third cables, respectively. The brake balancer may be configured to substantially equalize braking applied to the first and second brake assemblies responsive to actuation of the operator.
