ABSTRACT:
A stroller has a frame that is foldable or collapsible between an extended configuration and a collapsed configuration. A pair of locking devices are mounted on the frame to lock the frame in the extended configuration. The frame also has a handle or handle bar connected to portions of the frame connected to the locking devices. The stroller has a release mechanism mounted on a portion of the handle. The release mechanism has a moving member rotatably mounted to the handle portion. The moving member carries a rotation-to-linear motion transfer mechanism, which includes grooves. A pair of pins are movably mounted to the handle portion and engage the grooves. The pins are connected to the locking devices using wires. The grooves guides and moves the pins toward each other to release both locking devices when the moving member is rotated. A rotation lock prevents the moving member from releasing the locking devices. The rotation lock has a receiving member mounted on the handle portion and a reciprocating member mounted on the moving member. The reciprocating member engages the receiving member to prevent the moving member from rotating. The moving member and the reciprocating member are operable with a single hand to release the locking devices.
