Abstract

A stroller includes a frame and a basket disposed on the frame. The basket includes a tube mount, a first tube member, a second tube member and a basket covering. The tube mount is disposed on the frame. The first tube member is connected to the tube mount. The second tube member is rotatably connected to the tube mount and switchable relative to the frame between a folded position and an unfolded position. The basket covering is disposed on the first tube member and the second tube member. A storage space is enclosed by the basket covering, and a volume of the storage space is adjustable by rotation of the second tube member relative to the frame. Furthermore, the present invention further discloses a related basket.

2. The stroller of claim 1 , wherein the tube mount comprises a first mount member and a second mount member, the first mount member is disposed on the frame and connected to the first tube member, the second mount member is disposed on the second tube member and rotatably combined with the first mount member, and the second tube member is rotatable relative to the frame by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member.

3. The stroller of claim 2 , wherein the first mount member comprises a housing, the second mount member comprises a hub rotatably combined with the housing, a plurality of first ribs is formed on at least one portion of an inner wall of the housing, a plurality of second ribs is formed on at least one portion of an outer wall of the hub, and the first mount member and the second mount member engage with each other by the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs.

4. The stroller of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs is made of plastic material.

5. The stroller of claim 3 , wherein a cross section of each of the plurality of first ribs and a cross section of each of the plurality of second ribs are formed in arc shapes.

6. The stroller of claim 1 , wherein the tube mount comprises a first mount member, a second mount member and a third mount member, the first mount member is disposed on the front foot and connected to the first tube member, the second mount member is disposed on the second tube member and rotatably combined with the first mount member, and the third mount member is disposed on the rear foot and rotatably combined with the first mount member and the handle.

7. The stroller of claim 6 , wherein the frame further comprises a link member movably connected to the handle and the first mount member, and the handle drives the front foot to rotate toward the rear foot by the link member when the handle rotates relative to the third mount member to move toward the rear foot.

8. A basket adapted for a frame of a stroller, the basket comprising:
a tube mount disposed on the frame, a front foot of the frame being rotatably connected to a rear foot of the frame by the tube mount, and a handle of the frame being rotatably connected to the rear foot by the tube mount;
a first tube member connected to the tube mount;
a second tube member rotatably connected to the tube mount and switchable relative to the frame between a folded position and a unfolded position; and
a basket covering disposed on the first tube member and the second tube member, a storage space being enclosed by the basket covering, and a volume of the storage space being adjustable by rotation of the second tube member relative to the frame.

9. The basket of claim 8 , wherein the tube mount comprises a first mount member and a second mount member, the first mount member is disposed on the frame and connected to the first tube member, the second mount member is disposed on the second tube member and rotatably combined with the first mount member, and the second tube member is rotatable relative to the frame by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member.

10. The basket of claim 9 , wherein the first mount member comprises a housing, the second mount member comprises a hub rotatably combined with the housing, a plurality of first ribs is formed on at least one portion of an inner wall of the housing, a plurality of second ribs is formed on at least one portion of an outer wall of the hub, and the first mount member and the second mount member engage with each other by the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs.

11. The basket of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs is made of plastic material.

12. The basket of claim 10 , wherein a cross section of each of the plurality of first ribs and a cross section of each of the plurality of second ribs are formed in arc shapes.

13. The basket of claim 8 , wherein the tube mount comprises a first mount member, a second mount member and a third mount member, the first mount member is disposed on the front foot of the frame and connected to the first tube member, the second mount member is disposed on the second tube member and rotatably combined with the first mount member, and the third mount member is disposed on the rear foot of the frame and rotatably combined with the first mount member and the handle of the frame.
