Abstract:
A folding push chair, comprising:a push chair chassis comprising two front struts, two pushing arms adapted to slide along said two front struts such that said chassis is foldable between a folded position and a deployed position, and locking means, a hammock disposed on said chassis, said hammock comprising first fixing means, said chassis comprising second fixing means, said first and second fixing means cooperating to attach said hammock to said chassis, wherein said first fixing means comprise adjusting means for adjusting an angle of inclination of said hammock such that said hammock is adjustable between at least two inclination positions with respect to said first fixing means independently of a position of said chassis, said adjusting means being adapted to retain a selected inclination position when said chassis is in the folded position, such that said hammock is directly in said selected inclination position when the push chair is unfolded into said deployed position, wherein said locking means comprises at least one stop disposed on said chassis and a cam disposed on said second fixing means, said at least one stop cooperating with said cam to hold said second fixing means fixed with respect to said first fixing means when said chassis is in said deployed position and wherein said second fixing means cooperate with said locking means such that: when said chassis is in said deployed position, said locking means hold said second fixing means fixed with respect to said first fixing means such that said hammock is maintained in one of said inclination positions, and when said chassis is in said folded position, said second fixing means are rotatable with respect to said first fixing means about an axis perpendicular to said front struts and parallel to a plane defined by said chassis when said chassis is in said folded position, over a predetermined range of rotation, such that said hammock is adapted to move substantially into said plane.
