Abstract

A child stroller apparatus includes a stroller frame, and a mounting system including a first coupling part provided on the stroller frame, and an adapter suitable to receive the installation of a detachable component. The adapter is installable on and detachable from the first coupling portion, wherein the adapter includes a support body having a second coupling portion and a third coupling portion, the second coupling portion being detachably connectible with the first coupling portion, and the third coupling portion being detachably connectible with the detachable component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A child stroller apparatus comprising:
a stroller frame; and
a mounting system including a first coupling part provided on the stroller frame, and an adapter suitable to receive the installation of a detachable component, the adapter being installable on and detachable from the first coupling portion, wherein the adapter includes a support body having a second coupling portion and a third coupling portion, the second coupling portion being detachably connectible with the first coupling portion, and the third coupling portion being detachably connectible with the detachable component.

2. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first coupling portion of the stroller frame is adapted to receive a detachable component without the adapter installed on the first coupling portion.

3. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting system provides a first mount configuration in which a detachable component is installable on the stroller frame with the adapter interposed between the first coupling portion of the stroller frame and the detachable component, and a second mount configuration in which the detachable component is installable on the first coupling portion of the stroller frame without the adapter, the detachable component being installed at a different height on the stroller frame in the first and second mount configuration.

4. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the third coupling portion of the support body is similar to the first coupling portion of the stroller frame in structure.

5. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second coupling portion of the support body has a receiving slot adapted to receive the insertion of the first coupling portion of the stroller frame.

6. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support body further has an extending portion, the second and third coupling portions respectively protruding from two opposite sides of the extending portion.

7. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the extending portion is fixedly connected with the second and third coupling portions.

8. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein when the adapter is installed on the stroller frame, the second coupling portion protrudes downward from the extending portion and engages with the first coupling portion of the stroller frame, the extending portion extends forward along a horizontal direction from the second coupling portion, and the third coupling portion protrudes upward from the extending portion.

9. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter further includes a locking mechanism operable to lock the adapter to the first coupling portion of the stroller frame, the locking mechanism including a latch movably connected with the support body, the latch being movable relative to the support body to engage with or disengage from the first coupling portion of the stroller frame.

10. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the latch slides toward an inner side of the support body for engaging with the first coupling portion of the stroller frame, the inner side of the support body facing an interior of the stroller frame where a child can be placed.

11. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first coupling portion of the stroller frame has a recess disposed adjacent to a side edge of the first coupling portion, and the latch has an engaging protrusion adapted to engage with the recess.

12. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism further includes a spring operable to urge the latch to move for engaging with the first coupling portion of the stroller frame.

13. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism includes an operating part connected with the latch, the operating part being exposed at an inner side of the support body and operable to cause unlocking of the latch.

14. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the operating part is fixedly connected with the latch.

15. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the latch slides toward the inner side of the support body for engaging with the first coupling portion of the stroller frame, and the operating part is operated to urge the latch to slide in an opposite direction for disengaging from the first coupling portion of the stroller frame.

16. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the second coupling portion of the support body has a receiving slot, when the adapter is installed on the connecting mount, the first coupling portion of the stroller frame is inserted into the receiving slot and the latch extends to two opposite sides of the first coupling portion.

17. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the latch has an engaging protrusion adapted to engage with the first coupling portion, and the locking mechanism further includes an operating part that is connected with the latch and is exposed at an inner side of the support body, the operating part being operable to cause unlocking of the latch, and a portion of the operating part and the engaging protrusion being respectively located at two opposite sides of the receiving slot.

18. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first coupling portion of the stroller frame and the third coupling portion of the adapter is suitable to receive the installation of a child seat and a bassinet.

19. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the stroller frame includes a front leg frame and a handle frame pivotally connected with each other via a pivot joint structure, and the first coupling portion is disposed adjacent to the pivot joint structure.

20. The child stroller apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein the pivot joint structure includes a first coupling part fixedly connected with the front leg frame, and a second coupling part that is fixedly connected with the handle frame and is pivotally connected with the first coupling part, the first coupling portion being pivotally connected with the second coupling part.
