Abstract
A canopy structure for a collapsible stroller includes a first bail whose bight is shorter than the distance between the arms of the stroller pusher handle, the free ends of the first bail being pivotally connected to the pusher handle arm at inboard walls thereof. The canopy structure also includes a second shallower bail whose bight is longer than the distance between the pusher handle arms and includes means for pivotally connecting the free ends of the second bail to the pusher handle arms at the outboard walls thereof at points spaced above the pivotal connections of the first bail. A flexible fabric body is connected between the bights of the bails which body is dimensioned so that, when the first bail is oriented in a substantially horizontal plane, the bight of the second bail engages the pusher handle so that the fabric body is stretched between the two bails. The first bail can be swung upwards to repose on the upper bail which drops down to a location below the pusher handle so that the first bail is located in an overcentered out-of-the-way position. Also, when the stroller is in its collapsed position, the second bail can be engaged over the stroller backrest to help retain the stroller in that collapsed position.
