Abstract

A child carriage tray and support therefor including: a tray having an upper face and a lower face opposed to the upper face and a pair of strut assembles each mountable to the lower face in a selectable spaced relationship one to the other by mounting means formed into or with each strut assembly and formed for detachable mounting to one of a plurality of sets of complementary mounting means on the lower face of the tray, each set of complementary mounting means incorporating two pivot locations in spaced relationship formed therein or therewith, each strut assembly comprising: a minor strut having a portion of the mounting means formed on or with an end for mounting to one of the pivot locations on the lower face by one the end; a major strut having another or the remaining portion of the mounting means formed on or with and end for mounting to the other of the pivot locations on lower face by the end and having adjustable engagement means for engaging the other end of the minor strut a one of a plurality of engagement locations intermediate the ends of the major strut whereby the major strut may be fixed at one of a variety of angles with the top chord, and the major strut further having attachment means operatively associated with the other of its ends for attaching the major strut to a frame member of a child carriage.

Claims

1. A child carriage tray and support therefor including:

a tray having an upper face and a lower face opposed to the upper face and a pair of strut assembles each mountable to the lower face in a selectable spaced relationship one to the other by mounting means formed into or with each strut assembly and formed for detachable mounting to one of a plurality of sets of complementary mounting means on the lower face of the tray, each set of complementary mounting means incorporating two pivot locations in spaced relationship formed therein or therewith, each strut assembly comprising;

a minor strut having a portion of said mounting means formed on or with an end for mounting to one of said pivot locations on said lower face by one said end;

a major strut having another or the remaining portion of said mounting means formed on or with and end for mounting to the other of said pivot locations on lower face by said end and having adjustable engagement means for engaging the other end of said minor strut a one of a plurality of engagement locations intermediate the ends of the major strut whereby said major strut may be fixed at one of a variety of angles with said top chord, and said major strut further having attachment means operatively associated with the other of its ends for attaching said major strut to a frame member of a child carriage.

2. A child carriage tray and support therefor according to claim 1, wherein a top chord is interposed between the lower face of the tray and the pivotal connections of the major and minor struts thereto, the pivot locations of the complementary mounting means being provided in spaced relationship formed on or with the top chord and said mounting means also formed therein or therewith.

4. A child carriage tray and support therefor according to claim 1 or claim 3, wherein the selection of the angle of the major strut to the top chord or lower face of the tray provides a selection of discrete angles of the tray to the frame member of the child carriage.

5. A child carriage tray and support therefor according to claim 1 or claim 3, wherein the plurality of sets of complementary mounting means provides a selection of spacings of the strut assemblies

3. A child carriage tray and support therefor including:

a tray having an upper face and a lower face opposed to the upper face and a pair of strut assembles each mountable to the lower face in a selectable spaced relationship one to the other by mounting means formed into or with each strut assembly formed for detachable mounting to one of a plurality of sets of complementary mounting means on the lower face of the tray, each strut assembly comprising;

a top chord having said mounting means formed therein or therewith and two pivot locations in spaced relationship formed therein or therewith;

a minor strut mounted to one of said pivot locations on said top chord by one of the ends of the minor strut;

a major strut mounted to the other of said pivot locations on said top chord by one of the ends of the major strut and having adjustable engagement means for engaging the other end of said minor strut a one of a plurality of engagement locations intermediate the ends of the major strut whereby said major strut may be fixed at one of a variety of angles with said top chord, and said major strut further having attachment means operatively associated with the other of its ends for attaching said major strut to a frame member of a child carriage at a predetermined angle of said major strut to the frame member.
