Toy doll stroller and ferris wheel
First Claim
1. A stroller comprising:
- spaced parallel members forming a frame;
a pair of ground engaging wheels, each mounted for rotation of a stub shaft extending inwardly from a respective frame member to form a common axis;
means extending between the frame members below the common axis to connect the frame members together proximate the ground engaging wheels;
a pair of spaced side wheels mounted on an axle and carried by the frame for rotation with the periphery of the side wheels spaced from the ground;
a concentric, inwardly disposed drive wheel portion on one of the ground engaging wheels in direct drive engagement with the periphery of one of the side wheels;
a plurality of pivot means on the spaced side wheels spaced at approximately the same distance from the axle and at approximately equal intervals;
a seat pivotally depending from each of the pivot means between the spaced side wheels and passing between the ground engaging wheels below the common axis during rotation of the spaced side wheels;
the length of the seat depending from the pivot means being less than the distance between the pivot means and the axle and less than the distance the side wheel periphery is spaced from the ground; and
handle means connected to the frame members projecting upwardly from the ground and outwardly from the frame.

Abstract
A toy doll stroller and ferris wheel has a pair of substantially A-shaped frame members with a U-shaped handle extending from and joining the frame members. Spaced side wheels mounted on a hollow axle are journaled for rotation between the apexes and carry three pivotally depending doll seats spaced about their periphery. Free wheeling front ground wheels are mounted on an axle extending between the forward angled legs of the frame members. Each of a pair of rear ground wheels is mounted on a stub shaft carried by the rearward angled frame leg on a common axis and is in driving engagement with a respective side wheel. The rearward angled legs are connected together by a U-shaped bracket of resilient material pivotally attached below the axis of the stub shafts. The bracket is movable between a first unobstructing position and a second stand position that spaces the rear wheels from the ground. One of the rear wheels has a hand crank to drive the ferris wheel while the bracket is in the stand position and the stroller remains stationary. Chimes or other musical note-producing devices may be carried in the hollow axle.

16. A toy stroller comprising;
-
parallel spaced members forming a frame; first axle means mounted in the frame and defining an axis of rotation; a pair of ground wheels mounted on the first axle means; the ground wheels being rotatable; ground support means carried by the frame spaced from the ground wheels in a direction perpendicular to the axis; handle means connected to the frame members and projecting upwardly from the ground wheels and outwardly from the frame; second axle means supported by the frame; the second axle means being spaced from and substantially parallel to the axis; a pair of spaced side wheels mounted on the second axle means; both side wheels being rotatable; pivot means radially spaced from and parallel to the second axle means on the spaced side wheels; a seat pivotally depending from the pivot means between the spaced side wheels; drive means engaging one of the ground wheels with one of the spaced side wheels; a stand means pivotally connected to the frame for movement from a first unobstructing position in which the stand means does not interfere with the ground wheels and a second elevating position in which the stand means raises the frame and prevents the ground wheels from engaging the ground; and crank means on the one ground wheel for manually rotating the ground wheel to drive the side wheel when the stand means is in the second position. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
