Patent ID: 7770905

Claim:
A stroller wheel suspension mechanism comprising: a generally stiff but resilient carrier having, a) a top mounting section connectable to a stroller frame, and a downward facing surface on the top mounting section, b) a depending spring section extending downward from the top mounting section adjacent an end of the downward facing surface, and a generally vertically oriented surface on the depending spring section, and c) a bottom spring section extending from the depending spring section, and an upward facing surface on the bottom spring section spaced from the downward facing surface, the depending spring section and bottom spring section being resiliently deflectable relative to the top mounting section, and the top mounting section, depending spring section, and bottom spring section being integrally formed as a unitary structure from the same resilient material; and d) a wheel mount provided on the bottom spring section and spaced from the depending spring section; a damper region bounded within the carrier by the downward facing, vertically oriented, and upward facing surfaces; and a solid body damper of a resilient, flexible material positioned within the damper region and connected to the downward facing, vertically oriented, and upward facing surfaces of the carrier.
