ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to baby carriages and strollers and more particularly pertains to a new fan cooled baby stroller for circulates air in the interior of a baby carriage to help keep an infant therein well ventilated and comfortable.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of baby carriages and strollers is known in the prior art. More specifically, baby carriages and strollers heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 2,646,843—a protective cover for baby carriage contents by Alder; U.S. Pat. No. 3,963,382—a portable air circulating fan by Patton; U.S. Pat. No. 3,191,958—an adjustable and removable canopy for baby carriage by Smith; U.S. Pat. No. 3,776,217—a nursing box for babies or similar purposes by van Galen et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 5,349,975—an air cooled umbrella by Valdner; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 99,964—an infant's play pad by Roemer.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new fan cooled baby stroller. The inventive device includes a bassinet with a canopy mounted over the bassinet. The canopy has a pair of side portions which each have a fan assembly mounted thereto. Each fan assembly comprises a housing, and a blower fan and motor disposed in the housing. The housings of the fan assemblies are extended through the associated side portion of the canopy. An outer side face of each housing faces outwards from the canopy from the associated side portion of the canopy. The outer side face of each housing has an inlet opening therein. A back face of each of the housings has an outlet opening therethrough inside the canopy.
In these respects, the fan cooled baby stroller according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of circulates air in the interior of a baby carriage to help keep an infant therein well ventilated and comfortable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of baby carriages and strollers now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new fan cooled baby stroller construction wherein the same can be utilized for circulates air in the interior of a baby carriage to help keep an infant therein well ventilated and comfortable.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the baby carriages and strollers mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new fan cooled baby stroller which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art baby carriages and strollers, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a bassinet with a canopy mounted over the bassinet. The canopy has a pair of side portions which each have a fan assembly mounted thereto. Each fan assembly comprises a housing, and a blower fan and motor disposed in the housing. The housings of the fan assemblies are extended through the associated side portion of the canopy. An outer side face of each housing faces outwards from the canopy from the associated side portion of the canopy. The outer side face of each housing has an inlet opening therein. A back face of each of the housings has an outlet opening therethrough inside the canopy.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the baby carriages and strollers mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new fan cooled baby stroller which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art baby carriages and strollers, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such fan cooled baby stroller economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller for circulates air in the interior of a baby carriage to help keep an infant therein well ventilated and comfortable.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new fan cooled baby stroller which includes a bassinet with a canopy mounted over the bassinet. The canopy has a pair of side portions which each have a fan assembly mounted thereto. Each fan assembly comprises a housing, and a blower fan and motor disposed in the housing. The housings of the fan assemblies are extended through the associated side portion of the canopy. An outer side face of each housing faces outwards from the canopy from the associated side portion of the canopy. The outer side face of each housing has an inlet opening therein. A back face of each of the housings has an outlet opening
