<p>A joint (10,10' ) for a folding pushchair frame comprises first and second plastics shells joined coaxially in opposed relation for rotation about a pin. First and second rigid struts (11,12) are fixed respectively to the two shells so that their respective central longitudinal axes extending through the joint are spaced apart in all positions of the joint in both axial and radial directions of the pivot axis. The two shells define an internal cavity (25,35) containing abutment surfaces (26,36) which cooperate to define the folded position of the joint. The struts (11,12) are spaced apart to define a minimum distance of separation in the folded position in an oblique direction with respect to the pivot axis (P), so that the joint avoids presenting a finger trap while remaining relatively compact.</p> |
