Device for removably fitting to prams carrycot seats and carrycots being provided with an articulated handle
This device includes anchoring mechanism being actuated by a rope and fitted to respective attachments being provided on the pram. The device has two portions namely being a first one ( 1 ) being provided at the lower end of the handle and having a cavity ( 5 ) in an angularly tiltable arrangement housing an action element ( 6 ) being fit to act on the anchoring mechanism ( 7 ), and a second portion ( 2 ) being solid with the carrycot seat ( 4 ) or carrycot and including the anchoring mechanism ( 7 ). The action element ( 6 ) is made up by an arcuate part one ( 6′ ) of whose ends is arranged in a pivoting arrangement at the angular end ( 5′ ) of the cavity ( 5 ), the arcuate part being at its other end ( 6″ ) linked to the pulling rope ( 8 ). The action element ( 6 ) is fit to act on the bent upper end ( 9 ) of a rod ( 10 ) pertaining to the anchoring mechanism ( 7 ).
1. A device for removably fitting to prams, carrycot seats and carrycots having an articulated handle, said device comprising an anchoring mechanism actuated by a line and fitted to respective attachments provided on the pram, wherein the device comprises:
a first portion provided at the lower end of the handle and defining an annularly extending cavity having sides diverging from a first end of the annularly extending cavity to a widened second end of the annularly extending cavity, the annularly extending cavity housing an arcing action element in an angularly tiltable arrangement, the arcing action element having first and second ends; wherein the arcing action element pivots about the first end of the arcing action element at the first end of the annularly extending cavity, wherein said arcing action element is connected at the second end to the line actuating the anchoring mechanism; and
a second portion fixed to the carrycot seat or carrycot and comprising said anchoring mechanism.
2. A device for removably fitting to prams, carrycot seats and carrycots as per claim 1 , further comprising a spring in the cavity acting on the action element's second end, said spring biasing said action element towards a passive position.
3. A device for removably fitting to prams, carrycot seats and carrycots as per claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a toothed section to lock the device at different positions.
4. A device for removably fitting to prams, carrycot seats and carrycots having an articulated handle, the device comprising:
an anchoring mechanism actuated by a line and fitted to attachments on the carrycot and comprising a rod having a bent upper end;
a first portion provided at the lower end of the handle and defining an annularly extending cavity having diverging sides widening from a first end to a second end of the annularly extending cavity, the annularly extending cavity housing an arcing action element in an angularly tiltable arrangement, the arcing action element having first and second ends; wherein the arcing action element pivots about the first end of the arcing action element at the first end of the annularly extending cavity, wherein said arcing action element is connected at the second end to the line actuating the anchoring mechanism; and
a second portion fixed to the carrycot seat or carrycot and comprises said anchoring mechanism; wherein the arcing action element engages the bent upper end of the rod.
