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 and includes a first mount member disposed on the frame, and a second mount member rotatably combined with the first mount member. The first tube member is connected to the first mount member. The second tube member is disposed on the second mount member and rotatable relative to the frame by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member. The basket covering is disposed on the first tube member and the second tube member. A storage space is enclosed by the basket covering. A volume of the storage space is adjustable by rotation of the second tube member relative to the frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stroller comprising:
a frame comprising:
a handle;

a first tube member connected to the first mount member of the tube mount;
a second tube member disposed on the second mount member of the tube mount and rotatably switchable relative to the frame between a folded position and an unfolded position by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member; 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.

2. The stroller of claim 1 , wherein the handle is rotatably connected to the rear foot by the tube mount.

3. The stroller of claim 2 , wherein the tube mount further comprises a third mount member, and the third mount member is disposed on the rear foot and rotatably combined with the first mount member and the handle.

4. The stroller of claim 3 , 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.

5. 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, the tube mount comprising a first mount member and a second mount member, the first mount member being disposed on the front foot of the frame, and the second mount member being rotatably combined with the first mount member;
a first tube member connected to the first mount member of the tube mount;
a second tube member disposed on the second mount member of the tube mount and switchable rotatably relative to the frame between a folded position and an unfolded position by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member; 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.

6. The basket of claim 5 , 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 are formed on at least one portion of an inner wall of the housing, a plurality of second ribs are 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.

7. The basket of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs is made of plastic material.

8. The basket of claim 6 , 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.

9. The basket of claim 5 , wherein the tube mount further comprises a third mount member, and the third mount member is disposed on a rear foot of the frame and rotatably combined with the first mount member and a handle of the frame.

10. A stroller comprising:
a frame; and
a basket disposed on the frame, the basket comprising:
a tube mount disposed on the frame, the tube mount comprising a first mount member and a second mount member, the first mount member being disposed on the frame, the second mount member being rotatably combined with the first mount member, the first mount member comprising a housing, the second mount member comprising a hub rotatably combined with the housing, a plurality of first ribs being formed on at least one portion of an inner wall of the housing, a plurality of second ribs being formed on at least one portion of an outer wall of the hub, and the first mount member and the second mount member engaging with each other by the plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs;
a first tube member connected to the first mount member of the tube mount;
a second tube member disposed on the second mount member of the tube mount and rotatably switchable relative to the frame between a folded position and an unfolded position by rotation of the second mount member relative to the first mount member; 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.

11. The stroller 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 stroller 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.
