Patent ID: 8905428

Claim:
A stroller fold joint comprising: a first joint part with a hub body having a puck shape, a circumferential surface, and a pivot axis extending transversely through the hub body; a second joint part with two plates having confronting surfaces spaced apart by a gap therebetween, the hub body captured in the gap between the two plates, the first and second joint parts pivotable relative to one another about the pivot axis between a folded orientation and an unfolded orientation; cam surfaces defined on the confronting surfaces of the two plates; a latch slot defined on the confronting surfaces of the two plates adjacent the cam surfaces; a tunnel along and through the hub body perpendicular to the pivot axis, the tunnel bisecting the hub body and being aligned with the pivot axis; and a shuttle slidable within the tunnel and having a latch end and an actuator end, the shuttle biased to a latched position with the latch end captured in the latch slot retaining the fold joint in the unfolded orientation, wherein moving the shuttle to a released position withdraws the latch end from the latch slot permitting relative rotation of the first and second joint parts from the unfolded orientation to the folded orientation.
