Abstract: The apparatus is a child's stroller that maintains all the wheels on the ground while it is being folded. The rear legs are interconnected with but separated from the armrests and move on circular paths, the centers of which are pivot points on the armrests. Therefore, the tops of the rear legs move around to a height different from the position of the front leg pivot point, and the location of the tops of the rear legs are determined by the position of the attached wheels rather by the pivot point of the front legs. Another linkage lowers the canopy support frame as the stroller is being folded in order to reduce the stroller's overall folded length.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling ignition of a general-purpose internal combustion engine (10) which produces an ignition signal in a compression stroke and in an exhaust stroke of a four stroke cycle, one of the ignitions to be conducted based on the produced two ignition signals is cut (S10, S108) and an after-ignition-cut engine speed is detected (S10, S 110). Then it is discriminated whether each of the two ignition signals was produced in the compression stroke or in the exhaust stroke based on a difference between an average engine speed and the after-ignition-cut engine speed (S10, S112-S120), and the ignition is controlled based on the ignition signal discriminated to be produced in the compression stroke in the two ignition signals (S12), thereby enabling to improve the duration life of an ignition plug, with simple and compact structure.
