When the pair of push rods 5 moves downward along the front leg 1 in accordance with the folding operation of the baby carriage, the front end portion of the bottom cross member 9 connected to the lower end portion of the push rod 5 also moves downward accordingly, and accordingly. Then, the pair of rear legs 4 connected to the rear end of the bottom cross member 9 is rotated toward the front legs 1. Further, as the amount of downward movement of the lower end portion of the push bar 5 increases, the distance between the front end portion and the rear end portion of the bottom cross member 9 increases, so that the distance between the pair of front legs 1 and the pair of The distance between the rear legs 4 is reduced.

一対の座部支持棒10は、座席ハンモック23の座部を支持するように前後方向に延びており、その前方領域または中間領域が一対の前脚1に回動可能に連結され、その後端部が一対のスライド部材7に回動可能に連結されている。乳母車の折り畳み動作に伴ってスライド部材7が後脚4上を上方に向かって移動すると、座部支持棒10は図3において反時計方向に回動し、乳母車の折り畳み状態では、前脚1の内側に沿って位置するようになる。   The pair of seat support rods 10 extend in the front-rear direction so as to support the seat of the seat hammock 23, and a front region or an intermediate region thereof is rotatably connected to the pair of front legs 1, and a rear end portion thereof A pair of slide members 7 are rotatably connected. When the slide member 7 moves upward on the rear leg 4 in accordance with the folding operation of the baby carriage, the seat support bar 10 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 3, and the inner side of the front leg 1 in the folded state of the baby carriage. It will be located along.

図7および図8に示すように、背面クロス部材8には、乳母車の開状態において第1棒部材81と第2棒部材82との交差角度を固定する開状態ロック機構11が設けられている。この開状態ロック機構11は、一方端が第2棒部材82に回動可能に連結された第1リンク棒12と、一方端が第1棒部材81に回動可能に連結された第2リンク棒13と、操作部材14とを備える。乳母車の開状態においては、第1リンク棒12と第2リンク棒13とは思案点を僅かに越えた位置で固定した関係となり、第1棒部材81と第2棒部材82との交差角度を固定する。乳母車を折り畳もうとするときには、操作部材14を手で引き上げて第1リンク棒12と第2リンク棒13とを上方に屈曲させた状態となるようにする。   As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the back cross member 8 is provided with an open state lock mechanism 11 that fixes the crossing angle between the first bar member 81 and the second bar member 82 when the baby carriage is in the open state. . The open state lock mechanism 11 includes a first link rod 12 having one end rotatably connected to the second rod member 82 and a second link having one end rotatably connected to the first rod member 81. A rod 13 and an operation member 14 are provided. In the opened state of the baby carriage, the first link rod 12 and the second link rod 13 are fixed at a position slightly beyond the thought point, and the crossing angle between the first rod member 81 and the second rod member 82 is determined. Fix it. When the baby carriage is to be folded, the operation member 14 is pulled up by hand so that the first link bar 12 and the second link bar 13 are bent upward.

図3に示すように、前脚1の上端部に固定された連結部材2は、ロックピンを有する操作ボタン24を有する。押棒5には、少なくとも乳母車の開状態においてロックピンを受入れるロック穴を有している。操作ボタン24のロックピンと押棒5に設けられたロック穴とによって、乳母車の開状態において前脚に対する押棒の位置を固定する押棒ロック機構が構成される。操作ボタン24を操作してロックピンとロック穴との係合を解除すれば、押棒5を前脚1に沿ってスライドさせることが可能になる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting member 2 fixed to the upper end of the front leg 1 has an operation button 24 having a lock pin. The push bar 5 has a lock hole for receiving the lock pin at least in the opened state of the baby carriage. The push pin locking mechanism that fixes the position of the push bar with respect to the front leg in the opened state of the baby carriage is configured by the lock pin of the operation button 24 and the lock hole provided in the push bar 5. If the operation button 24 is operated to release the engagement between the lock pin and the lock hole, the push bar 5 can be slid along the front leg 1.

図1に示すように、一対の前脚1の下方部分は、中央部分において屈曲可能な足乗せ部材15によって連結されている。乳母車の開いた状態では、足乗せ部材15は幅方向に沿ってほぼ直線的に延在するが、乳母車の折り畳み状態では、足乗せ部材15はV字状に屈曲した形態となる。   As shown in FIG. 1, the lower portions of the pair of front legs 1 are connected by a leg rest member 15 that can be bent at the center portion. In the state where the baby carriage is opened, the footrest member 15 extends substantially linearly along the width direction. However, in the state where the baby carriage is folded, the footrest member 15 is bent in a V shape.

図3から明らかなように、幌17は、その幅方向両端が一対の連結部材2よりも下方の位置で一対の押棒5に連結保持されている。具体的には、各押棒5は、連結部材2よりも下方の位置に固定された幌支えスリーブ16を有している。幌17は、幌支えスリーブ16に回動可能に保持された幌骨18、19と、複数の幌骨間に張り渡された幌布20とを備える。図示した実施形態の幌17は、ドーム形状であり、第1幌骨18と第2幌骨19とを備える。第1幌骨18および第2幌骨19は、乳母車の折り畳み時に幅方向間隔を縮小できるような構造または材質で構成されている。   As is clear from FIG. 3, the hood 17 is connected and held by the pair of push rods 5 at both ends in the width direction below the pair of connecting members 2. Specifically, each push bar 5 has a hood support sleeve 16 fixed at a position lower than the connecting member 2. The hood 17 includes hood bones 18 and 19 rotatably held by the hood support sleeve 16 and a hood cloth 20 stretched between a plurality of hood bones. The hood 17 of the illustrated embodiment has a dome shape and includes a first hood bone 18 and a second hood bone 19. The first hood bone 18 and the second hood bone 19 are made of a structure or material that can reduce the interval in the width direction when the baby carriage is folded.

図示した実施形態の幌17は、左右の側面に、第1幌骨81と第2幌骨82との開き角度を固定するための開き角度固定手段21を備える。この開き角度固定手段21は、一端が第1幌骨18に連結された第1リンクプレート21aと、一端が第2幌骨19に連結された第2リンクプレート21bと、幌の折り畳みのために第1および第2リンクプレート21a,21bを屈曲した位置関係にもたらすための操作つまみ21cとを備える。   The hood 17 of the illustrated embodiment is provided with opening angle fixing means 21 for fixing the opening angle between the first hood bone 81 and the second hood bone 82 on the left and right side surfaces. The opening angle fixing means 21 includes a first link plate 21a having one end connected to the first hood bone 18, a second link plate 21b having one end connected to the second hood bone 19, and for folding the hood. And an operation knob 21c for bringing the first and second link plates 21a and 21b into a bent positional relationship.

幌17は、その両端部が一対の押棒5に固定された幌支えスリーブ16に支持されているので、乳母車の折り畳み動作に伴って一対の押棒が下降すると、それに追従して幌17も下方に移動する。図4に示す乳母車の折り畳み状態においては、幌17も折り畳むようにする。このように図示した実施形態では、幌17を乳母車車体に取り付けた状態のままでも、幌17が押棒5と共に下降するので乳母車の折り畳み状態の高さ寸法を縮小することができる。   Since both ends of the hood 17 are supported by a hood support sleeve 16 fixed to the pair of push rods 5, when the pair of push rods descends along with the folding operation of the baby carriage, the hood 17 also follows downward. Moving. In the folded state of the baby carriage shown in FIG. 4, the hood 17 is also folded. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment, even when the hood 17 is attached to the baby carriage body, the hood 17 is lowered together with the push bar 5, so that the height dimension of the baby carriage in the folded state can be reduced.

実公昭45−13549号公報や特公平7−12824号公報に開示された乳母車では、一対の押棒の上方端は自由端となっているので、押棒のある程度のぐらつきは避けられない。そのような押棒のぐらつきは、一対の押棒の上方端を連結するハンドル部材を設けることによって小さくすることができる。その場合、乳母車の折畳み状態における幅方向寸法を小さくするために、ハンドル部材を複数の部材で構成し、各部材間を回動可能に連結することが一般的である。このような構造であれば、ハンドル部材が各部材間の連結部分で屈曲することにより、一対の押棒の間隔が小さくなる。しかしながら、そのような屈曲可能な連結部分が存在すると、乳母車の開状態においてその連結部分においてがたつきが生じるので、十分な剛性のある車体フレームとはならない。   In the stroller disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 45-13549 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-12824, the upper ends of the pair of push rods are free ends. Such wobbling of the push rods can be reduced by providing a handle member that connects the upper ends of the pair of push rods. In this case, in order to reduce the dimension in the width direction of the baby carriage in the folded state, it is general that the handle member is composed of a plurality of members and the members are rotatably connected. With such a structure, the distance between the pair of push rods is reduced by bending the handle member at the connecting portion between the members. However, when such a bendable connecting portion exists, rattling occurs in the connecting portion in the opened state of the baby carriage, so that the vehicle body frame does not have a sufficient rigidity.

そこで、本発明の実施形態では、開状態における乳母車の車体フレームの剛性を高めるために、一対の押棒5の上方端を連結するハンドル部材6の構造に特徴を持たせている。すなわち、図示した実施形態では、ハンドル部材6を構成する第1ハンドルアーム61と第2ハンドルアーム62とを連結機構によって分離可能に連結している。図9〜図12を参照して、この構造について詳しく説明する。   Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the handle member 6 that connects the upper ends of the pair of push rods 5 is characterized in order to increase the rigidity of the body frame of the baby carriage in the open state. In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, the first handle arm 61 and the second handle arm 62 constituting the handle member 6 are detachably connected by a connecting mechanism. This structure will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

図6および図11に示すように、第1ハンドルアーム61の内方端部は厚みを減じた薄肉部分を含み、第2ハンドルアーム62の内方端部も厚みを減じた薄肉部分を含む。両者の薄肉部分が、連結機構によって分離可能に連結される。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 11, the inner end portion of the first handle arm 61 includes a thin portion with a reduced thickness, and the inner end portion of the second handle arm 62 also includes a thin portion with a reduced thickness. The thin portions of both are detachably connected by a connecting mechanism.

連結機構は、第1ハンドルアーム61の内方端部に固定された固定軸63と、固定軸63を受け入れるように第2ハンドルアーム62の内方端部に形成された軸受入れ空間64と、ロック部材65とを備える。固定軸63は、乳母車の後方に向かって突出しており、直径の大きな頭部63aと、直径の小さな首部63bとを含む。   The coupling mechanism includes a fixed shaft 63 fixed to the inner end portion of the first handle arm 61, a bearing insertion space 64 formed at the inner end portion of the second handle arm 62 so as to receive the fixed shaft 63, and A locking member 65. The fixed shaft 63 protrudes toward the rear of the baby carriage and includes a head portion 63a having a large diameter and a neck portion 63b having a small diameter.

図9および図10に示すように、ロック部材65は、上下方向に長い扁平な板状の形態をしており、その中央部分に貫通穴66を有している。貫通穴66は、上方に位置する直径の大きな大径穴66aと、大径穴66aの下方部分に重なるように形成された直径の小さな小径穴66bとを有する。大径穴66aの直径は、固定軸63の頭部63aの直径よりも大きく、小径穴66bの直径は、固定軸63の頭部63aの直径よりも小さく、首部63bの直径よりも僅かに大きい。   As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lock member 65 has a flat plate shape that is long in the up-down direction, and has a through hole 66 at the center thereof. The through-hole 66 has a large-diameter hole 66a having a large diameter located above and a small-diameter hole 66b having a small diameter formed so as to overlap with a lower portion of the large-diameter hole 66a. The diameter of the large-diameter hole 66a is larger than the diameter of the head 63a of the fixed shaft 63, and the diameter of the small-diameter hole 66b is smaller than the diameter of the head 63a of the fixed shaft 63 and slightly larger than the diameter of the neck 63b. .

ロック部材65は、第2ハンドルアーム62の軸受入れ空間64内に位置するようにされる。ロック部材65の上端には操作部材67が固定される。この操作部材67は、第2ハンドルアーム62の内方端部の上面から上に露出して突出している。また、図9に示すように、ロック部材65の下端と第2ハンドルアーム62の底壁部との間には、ロック部材65を常に上方に向かって移動するように付勢する付勢部材68が配置されている。図示した実施形態では、付勢部材68はコイルばねである。   The lock member 65 is positioned in the bearing insertion space 64 of the second handle arm 62. An operation member 67 is fixed to the upper end of the lock member 65. The operation member 67 is exposed and protrudes upward from the upper surface of the inner end portion of the second handle arm 62. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a biasing member 68 that biases the lock member 65 to always move upward between the lower end of the lock member 65 and the bottom wall portion of the second handle arm 62. Is arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, the biasing member 68 is a coil spring.

図9に示す状態では、第1ハンドルアーム61に固定された固定軸63の首部63bが、第2ハンドルアーム62に支持されたロック部材65の小径穴66bに嵌っており、この係合状態が付勢部材68の付勢力によって維持されている。ロック部材65は、固定軸63の頭部63aと第1ハンドルアーム61とによって挟まれているので、第1ハンドルアーム61と第2ハンドルアーム62とは連結固定された状態となる。この状態は、乳母車の開状態に対応する。   In the state shown in FIG. 9, the neck portion 63 b of the fixed shaft 63 fixed to the first handle arm 61 is fitted in the small diameter hole 66 b of the lock member 65 supported by the second handle arm 62, and this engaged state is It is maintained by the urging force of the urging member 68. Since the lock member 65 is sandwiched between the head portion 63a of the fixed shaft 63 and the first handle arm 61, the first handle arm 61 and the second handle arm 62 are connected and fixed. This state corresponds to the opened state of the baby carriage.

乳母車を折り畳もうとするときには、操作部材67を下方に押してロック部材65を下方位置にもたらす。その位置では、ロック部材65の大径穴66aが固定軸63の頭部63aと整列した関係になる。したがって、第1ハンドルアーム61の内方端部を第2ハンドルアーム62の内方端部に対して相対的に前方に動かせば、固定軸63の頭部63aがロック部材65の大径穴66aを通過し、第1ハンドルアーム61と第2ハンドルアーム62とが分離する。図12は、乳母車の折畳み状態において、第1ハンドルアーム61と第2ハンドルアーム62とが分離している状態を示している。一対の押棒5の間隔が小さくなっているので、第1ハンドルアーム61は図において左方向に移動し、第2ハンドルアームは右方向に移動している。   When the baby carriage is to be folded, the operation member 67 is pushed downward to bring the lock member 65 to the lower position. At that position, the large-diameter hole 66 a of the lock member 65 is aligned with the head 63 a of the fixed shaft 63. Therefore, if the inner end portion of the first handle arm 61 is moved forward relative to the inner end portion of the second handle arm 62, the head portion 63a of the fixed shaft 63 is moved to the large-diameter hole 66a of the lock member 65. The first handle arm 61 and the second handle arm 62 are separated from each other. FIG. 12 shows a state where the first handle arm 61 and the second handle arm 62 are separated in the folded state of the baby carriage. Since the distance between the pair of push rods 5 is small, the first handle arm 61 moves leftward in the figure, and the second handle arm moves rightward.

乳母車の折り畳み操作を順を追って記載すると、まずハンドル部材6の中央にある操作部材67を下方に押し込んで第1ハンドルアーム61と第2ハンドルアーム62とを離し、次に背面クロス部材8に取り付けられている開状態ロック機構11の操作部材14を上方に引き上げる。次に、連結部材2に支持されている操作ボタン24を操作してロックピンとロック穴との係合を解除した後に一対の押棒5を下方に移動させる。   When the operation of folding the baby carriage is described in order, first, the operation member 67 at the center of the handle member 6 is pushed downward to separate the first handle arm 61 and the second handle arm 62 and then attached to the back cross member 8. The operating member 14 of the open state lock mechanism 11 is pulled upward. Next, after operating the operation button 24 supported by the connecting member 2 to release the engagement between the lock pin and the lock hole, the pair of push rods 5 are moved downward.

なお、図示した本発明の実施形態では、背面クロス部材および底面クロス部材が、図13に示すように2つの棒部材をまさに「X字状に交差」するように構成した。しかしながら、本願発明における「X字状に交差」とは、図13に示したような典型的な形態のみならず、図14に示すようにX字状交差部を複数備える形態のものも含むものとして理解しなければならない。   In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the back cross member and the bottom cross member are configured to exactly “cross the two X members” as shown in FIG. However, the “X-shaped intersection” in the present invention includes not only a typical form as shown in FIG. 13 but also a form having a plurality of X-shaped intersections as shown in FIG. Must be understood as.

さらに、図示した実施形態では、一対の押棒の上方端が連結機構を介して分離可能に連結されるものであったが、他の実施形態として、一対の押棒が連結されること無く常に分離した構造のものであっても良い。   Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, the upper ends of the pair of push rods are detachably connected via a connecting mechanism. However, as another embodiment, the pair of push rods are always separated without being connected. It may be of a structure.

この発明は、乳母車や荷物運搬車などを含む広い意味の手押し車にも適用可能である。   The present invention can also be applied to a broadly-equipped handcart including a baby carriage and a luggage carrier.

図15および図16は、この発明の他の実施形態を示す側面図であり、図15は手押し車の開状態を示し、図16は手押し車の折畳み状態を示している。手押し車は、前後方向および幅方向のサイズが縮小して折り畳まれるものである。   15 and 16 are side views showing another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 shows an opened state of the handcart, and FIG. 16 shows a folded state of the handcart. The wheelbarrow is folded by reducing the size in the front-rear direction and the width direction.

図15および図16に示す手押し車は、平行な位置関係で上下方向に延びる一対の第1縦フレーム部材101と、平行な位置関係で上下方向に延び、一対の第1縦フレーム部材101の上方部に連結部材105を介して回動可能に連結された一対の第2縦フレーム部材102と、第1クロス部材103と、一対のサイドフレーム部材104とを備える。各第1縦フレーム部材101の下端には後輪108が取付けられ、各第2縦フレーム部材102の下端には前輪107が取付けられている。   15 and FIG. 16 is a pair of first vertical frame members 101 extending in the vertical direction with a parallel positional relationship, and a pair of first vertical frame members 101 extending in the vertical direction with a parallel positional relationship. A pair of second vertical frame members 102, a first cross member 103, and a pair of side frame members 104, which are rotatably connected to the part via a connecting member 105. A rear wheel 108 is attached to the lower end of each first vertical frame member 101, and a front wheel 107 is attached to the lower end of each second vertical frame member 102.

第1クロス部材103は、前述の実施例と同様に、X字状に交差する2つの棒部材を含む。2つの棒部材は、その上方端部が一対の第1縦フレーム部材101に一対のスライド部材106を介してスライド可能に支持され、その下方端部が一対の第1縦フレー部材101の下方部分に回動可能に連結されている。   The first cross member 103 includes two bar members that intersect in an X shape, as in the above-described embodiment. The upper end portions of the two rod members are slidably supported by the pair of first vertical frame members 101 via the pair of slide members 106, and the lower end portions thereof are lower portions of the pair of first vertical frame members 101. It is connected to the pivotable.

一対のサイドフレーム部材104は、平行な関係で前後方向に延び、その一方端部が第1クロス部材103の上方端部に一対のスライド部材106を介して回動可能に連結され、その他方端部が一対の第2縦フレーム部材102に回動可能に連結されている。   The pair of side frame members 104 extend in the front-rear direction in a parallel relationship, and one end thereof is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first cross member 103 via a pair of slide members 106, and the other end. The portion is rotatably connected to the pair of second vertical frame members 102.

手押し車を折り畳む際には、一対のスライド部材106を上方に移動させるように操作する。スライド部材106の上方への移動に伴って、第1クロス部材103の幅寸法が縮小し、一対の第1縦フレーム部材101の間隔が小さくなる。また、一対のサイドフレーム部材104の後方端部がスライド部材106とともに上方に移動するので、一対の第2縦フレーム部材102の下方部分はサイドフレーム部材104によって一対の第1縦フレーム部材101の下方部分に近づくように引き寄せられる。こうして、手押し車の折畳み状態においては、前後方向および幅方向のサイズが縮小する。   When the handcart is folded, the pair of slide members 106 are operated to move upward. As the slide member 106 moves upward, the width dimension of the first cross member 103 decreases, and the interval between the pair of first vertical frame members 101 decreases. Further, since the rear end portions of the pair of side frame members 104 move upward together with the slide member 106, the lower portions of the pair of second vertical frame members 102 are below the pair of first vertical frame members 101 by the side frame members 104. It is drawn closer to the part. Thus, in the folded state of the handcart, the sizes in the front-rear direction and the width direction are reduced.

図15および図16に示した実施形態において、前述の実施形態と同様に、第2クロス部材を設けるようにしてもよい。第2クロス部材は、X字状に交差する2つの棒部材を含み、その一方端部が一対の第2縦フレーム部材102にスライド可能に支持され、その他方端部が一対の第1縦フレーム部材101に回動可能に連結される。   In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a second cross member may be provided as in the above-described embodiment. The second cross member includes two bar members intersecting in an X shape, one end of which is slidably supported by the pair of second vertical frame members 102, and the other end is a pair of first vertical frames. The member 101 is rotatably connected.

さらに、手押し車は、前述の実施形態と同様に、一対の第3縦フレーム部材を備えるものであっても良い。一対の第3縦フレーム部材は、一対の第2縦フレーム部材に部分的に重なって上下方向に延び、その下方端部が第2クロス部材に回動可能に連結される。この実施形態では、手押し車の折畳み動作の際、第3縦フレーム部材の下端部と第2クロス部材の一方端部とが共に第2縦フレーム部材102に沿って下方にスライド移動する。   Furthermore, the handcart may be provided with a pair of third vertical frame members as in the above-described embodiment. The pair of third vertical frame members partially overlap the pair of second vertical frame members and extend in the vertical direction, and the lower ends thereof are rotatably connected to the second cross member. In this embodiment, during the folding operation of the handcart, both the lower end portion of the third vertical frame member and the one end portion of the second cross member slide down along the second vertical frame member 102.

図15および図16に示した実施形態の変形例として、一対のサイドフレーム部材104を省略し、第2クロス部材を設けるようにしても良い。第2クロス部材は、X字状に交差する2つの棒部材を含み、その一方端部が一対の第2縦フレーム部材102にスライド可能に支持され、その他方端部が一対の第1縦フレーム部材101に回動可能に連結されている。   As a modification of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the pair of side frame members 104 may be omitted and a second cross member may be provided. The second cross member includes two bar members intersecting in an X shape, one end of which is slidably supported by the pair of second vertical frame members 102, and the other end is a pair of first vertical frames. The member 101 is rotatably connected.
