Abstract

An adjusting mechanism includes a first engaging component, a second engaging component and a third engaging component is applied to a child carrier including a supporting component and a seating component. The first engaging component is detachably disposed on the supporting component. The second engaging component is disposed on the seating component. The third engaging component is movably located between the first engaging component and the second engaging component in a switchable manner. The second engaging component drives the third engaging component to move between a first position and a second position. The third engaging component moves to the first position to engage with the first engaging component so as to constrain relative movement between the seating component and the supporting component. The third engaging component moves to the second position to be separated from the first engaging component and the seating component can rotate relative to the supporting component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An adjusting mechanism applied to a child carrier, the child carrier comprising a supporting component and a seating component, the seating component being adapted to detachably assemble with the supporting component, the adjusting mechanism comprising:
a first engaging component detachably disposed on the supporting component, an engaging slot being formed on the first engaging component;
a second engaging component disposed on the seating component; and
a third engaging component movably located between the first engaging component and the second engaging component in a switchable manner, the second engaging component being adapted to drive the third engaging component to move between a first position and a second position, the third engaging component moving to the first position to engage with the first engaging component so as to constrain a relative movement between the seating component and the supporting component, the third engaging component moving to the second position to be separated from the first engaging component so that the seating component rotates relative to the supporting component via the adjusting mechanism, the third engaging component comprising a plurality of tooth structures connected to the second engaging component, and the second engaging component moving the third engaging component to the first position for engaging one of the plurality of tooth structures of the third engaging component with the engaging slot.

2. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:
a resilient component, two ends of the resilient component being respectively connected to a seat body of the seating component and the second engaging component; and
a driving component movably disposed on a seat body of the seating component and connected to the second engaging component, the driving component being adapted to move relative to the seating component to drive the second engaging component, so as to switch the third engaging component between the first position and the second position.

3. The adjusting mechanism of claim 2 , further comprising:
a connecting component connected between the driving component and the second engaging component, the driving component being adapted to drive the second engaging component via the connecting component.

4. The adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the seating component further comprises a rotary assembly, the rotary assembly comprises a rotating holder, a clamping component and a jointing component, the jointing component is disposed on a lateral side of the seating component, the rotating holder is connected to the jointing component via the clamping component and is suspended over the seating component.

5. The adjusting mechanism of claim 4 , wherein the clamping component is made of resilient material, the clamping component comprises a plurality of first constraining portions with annular arrangement, the jointing component comprises a plurality of second constraining portions with annular arrangement, the plurality of first constraining portions is accordingly engaged with the plurality of second constraining portions to adjust relative position between the clamping component and the jointing component.

6. A child carrier comprising:
a supporting component;
a seating component comprising a seat body, the seat body being adapted to detachably assemble with the supporting component; and
an adjusting mechanism, comprising:
a first engaging component detachably disposed on the supporting component, an engaging slot being formed on the first engaging component;
a second engaging component disposed on the seat body; and
a third engaging component movably located between the first engaging component and the second engaging component in a switchable manner, the second engaging component being adapted to drive the third engaging component to move between a first position and a second position, the third engaging component moving to the first position to engage with the first engaging component so as to constrain a relative movement between the seating component and the supporting component, the third engaging component moving to the second position to be separated from the first engaging component so that the seating component rotates relative to the supporting component via the adjusting mechanism, the third engaging component comprising a plurality of tooth structures connected to the second engaging component, and the second engaging component moving the third engaging component to the first position for engaging one of the plurality of tooth structures of the third engaging component with the engaging slot.

7. The child carrier of claim 6 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a resilient component and a driving component, two ends of the resilient component are respectively connected to the seat body and the second engaging component, and the driving component is movably disposed on the seat body and connected to the second engaging component, and is adapted to move relative to the seat body to drive the second engaging component.

8. The child carrier of claim 7 , wherein the adjusting mechanism further comprises a connecting component connected between the driving component and the second engaging component, and the driving component is adapted to drive the second engaging component via the connecting component.

9. The child carrier of claim 6 , wherein the seating component further comprises a rotary assembly, the rotary assembly comprises a rotating holder, a clamping component and a jointing component, the jointing component is disposed on a lateral side of the seating component, the rotating holder is connected to the jointing component via the clamping component and is suspended over the seat body.

10. The child carrier of claim 9 , wherein the clamping component comprises a plurality of first constraining portions with annular arrangement, the jointing component comprises a plurality of second constraining portions with annular arrangement, the plurality of first constraining portions is accordingly engaged with the plurality of second constraining portions to adjust relative position between the clamping component and the jointing component.

11. The child carrier of claim 9 , wherein the clamping component is made of resilient material.
