ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to child care devices and more particularly to a car seat/stroller assembly with rocker mechanism that includes a detachable car seat assembly and a stroller assembly; the stroller assembly including a chassis with four wheels and a pushing handle, two car seat docking supports extending upward from the chassis and including a seat support docking pin, and a spring motor driven rocking mechanism mounted on one of the car seat docking supports and including a mounting plate attachment member extending from a drive shaft thereof; the detachable car seat assembly including a car seat structure having a mounting plate attached to two opposed sides thereof, each mounting plate including a seat support pin receiving notch for sliding receiving and retaining therein a seat support docking pin and being rigidly attached to the car seat structure such that the weight of the car seat structure is supported by the two mounting plates when each mounting plate is rockably supported on one of the two support docking pins; one of the mounting plates including a cavity for receiving an engaging end of the mounting plate attachment member of the spring motor driven rocking mechanism; the spring motor driven rocking mechanism being operable to impart an oscillating motion to the mounting plate attachment member.
BACKGROUND ART
Child care givers are often confronted with carrying and transporting a large variety of devices needed when caring for a child. The device typically include a car seat, a stroller and, often times, a spring motor driven rocking child swing. Because it can be difficult to transport all of the items, it would be a benefit to have a system that combined a car seat, a stroller and a spring motor driven rocking swing.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a car seat/stroller assembly with rocker mechanism that includes a detachable car seat assembly and a stroller assembly; the stroller assembly including a chassis with four wheels and a pushing handle, two car seat docking supports extending upward from the chassis and including a seat support docking pin, and a spring motor driven rocking mechanism mounted on one of the car seat docking supports and including a mounting plate attachment member extending from a drive shaft thereof; the detachable car seat assembly including a car seat structure having a mounting plate attached to two opposed sides thereof, each mounting plate including a seat support pin receiving notch for sliding receiving and retaining therein a seat support docking pin and being rigidly attached to the car seat structure such that the weight of the car seat structure is supported by the two mounting plates when each mounting plate is rockably supported on one of the two support docking pins; one of the mounting plates including a cavity for receiving an engaging end of the mounting plate attachment member of the spring motor driven rocking mechanism; the spring motor driven rocking mechanism being operable to impart an oscillating motion to the mounting plate attachment member.
Accordingly, a car seat/stroller assembly with rocker mechanism is provided. The car seat/stroller assembly with rocker mechanism includes a detachable car seat assembly and a stroller assembly; the stroller assembly including a chassis with four wheels and a pushing handle, two car seat docking supports extending upward from the chassis and including a seat support docking pin, and a spring motor driven rocking mechanism mounted on one of the car seat docking supports and including a mounting plate attachment member extending from a drive shaft thereof; the detachable car seat assembly including a car seat structure having a mounting plate attached to two opposed sides thereof, each mounting plate including a seat support pin receiving notch for sliding receiving and retaining therein a seat support docking pin and being rigidly attached to the car seat structure such that the weight of the car seat structure is supported by the two mounting plates when each mounting plate is rockably supported on one of the two support docking pins; one of the mounting plates including a cavity for receiving an engaging end of the mounting plate attachment member of the spring motor driven rocking mechanism; the spring motor driven rocking mechanism being operable to impart an oscillating motion to the mounting plate attachment member.
