Foldable passenger carrier

摘要

A foldable passenger carrier, such as an infant stroller, comprising a carrier frame with a frame body and at least one longitudinal frame element comprising a folding hinge with a locking mechanism in the folding hinge. The carrier further comprises a push-handle which is connected to the upper part of the frame body and comprises a handle adjustment hinge with a locking mechanism. The push-handle is foldable towards the forward part of the frame body at the handle adjustment hinge and the longitudinal frame element is foldable in a direction towards the lower part of the frame body at the folding hinge.

1. A foldable passenger carrier, such as an infant stroller, comprising a carrier frame and having a longitudinal direction constituting a travelling direction of said passenger carrier, a transverse direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and a height direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and to said transverse direction;
said carrier frame comprising a frame body having a forward part, a rear part, an upper part, and a lower part; said upper part of said frame body comprising a longitudinal frame element, said longitudinal frame element comprising a folding hinge comprising a first locking mechanism; said carrier comprising a push-handle connected to said upper part of said frame body and comprising a handle adjustment hinge, the handle adjustment hinge comprising a second locking mechanism, and a control mechanism arranged on the push-handle, the control mechanism interconnected to and adapted to control the first locking mechanism; wherein said push-handle is foldable at said handle adjustment hinge in a first rotational direction about a transverse axis through said adjustment handle hinge and towards said forward part of said frame body; said longitudinal frame element foldable in a direction towards said lower part of said frame body about a transverse axis through said folding hinge; wherein said first rotational direction comprises a forward and downward component with respect to said carrier frame such that the push-handle is rotated to a position proximal said upper part; wherein the folding of the push-handle in the first rotational direction towards said forward part of said frame body activates the first locking mechanism such that the longitudinal frame element folds at said folding hinge and toward said lower part of said frame body; and wherein said lower part and an associated front wheel are caused to simultaneously fold and rotate about at least one hinge such that the lower part rotates in a direction opposite said first rotational direction.
