Stroller with frame position sensor

摘要

A stroller includes: a first stroller component; a second stroller component comprising a child receiving portion; a drive mechanism operatively engaged with at least one of the first and second stroller components to move the at least one of the first and second stroller components from a first position to a second position; and an object sensor operably coupled to the child receiving portion. The object sensor provides a signal that prevents movement of the first and second stroller components from the first position to the second position if the object sensor detects the presence of an object in the child receiving portion.

1. A stroller, comprising:
a first stroller component; a second stroller component; a drive mechanism operatively engaged with the at least one of the first and second stroller components to move the at least one of the first and second stroller components from a first position to a second position; at least one position sensor operably coupled to at least one of the first stroller component, the second stroller component, and the drive mechanism; and a microprocessor operably coupled to the at least one position sensor and the drive mechanism, wherein the at least one position sensor is configured to send a signal to the microprocessor indicative of the positions of at least one of the first stroller component and the second stroller component, and wherein the at least one position sensor operates in conjunction with a timer operably coupled to the microprocessor such that a signal to effect stoppage of power to the drive mechanism is sent by the microprocessor if the at least one position sensor does not send the signal to the microprocessor indicative of the positions of at least one of the first stroller component and the second stroller component within a predetermined period of time.
