Collapsible stroller frame

An infant stroller having a fold latch mechanism to lock the stroller in the unfolded or deployed configuration. The side of the stroller contains a latchkey piece having a pocket-like recess that engages a latchpin on the stroller's front leg. When the latchkey is in the locked position, the front legs are held in place, locking the stroller in the unfolded or deployed configuration. When the latchkey is disengaged from the latchpin on the front leg, the front leg can be rotated to allow the stroller to be folded for storage or transport. The stroller also has a latching mechanism for locking the tray unit in place during normal use. The tray unit becomes unlocked and can be tucked away during the folding process.

A folding frame type tandem stroller includes at least one side step and a side portion of the folding frame is configured to provide a side access region to the rear seat. A canopy rod actuated locking assembly locks a stroller folding frame in an open position. A front seat tray is pivotable in two directions and a canopy rod assembly is retractable to facilitate a compact folded size of a stroller.

The present invention provides a support arm for optical accessories such as are used during the examination of eyes for determining the corrective eyeglass lens required. The support arm is supported by a vertical support post which defines a first axis about which the arm may be pivot. The support arm further includes a first hub portion adjacent to the support post and a second hub portion distal from the support post wherein a vertical mounting shaft extends from the second hub portion for supporting an optical accessory. A parallelogram structure extends between the first and second hub portions such that the second hub portion may be moved vertically relative to the first hub portion about a second horizontal axis located at the first hub portion while maintaining the mounting shaft in a vertical position. Further, the mounting shaft for the optical accessory may be rotated about a third axis along the longitudinal axis of the shaft to position the optical accessory at different locations around the second hub portion. The weight of the optical accessory is counterbalance by a tension spring which biases the parallelogram structure to a horizontal position and thus counteracts the weight of the optical accessory. The support arm is further provided with a locking lever mounted to the second hub portion for simultaneously locking the support arm against movement about the first, second and third axes.
