Occupant divider structure for a stroller

Abstract

An occupant divider structure for a child's stroller utilizes a Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) sheet affixed by two releasable clamps to a bar extending vertically from a slotted insert receptacle that extends upwardly from the seat back center between two side-by-side occupant seats in a molded stroller frame. The shape of the PMMA sheet is designed so as to prevent contact by and between infants/toddlers occupying adjacent seats. The clamping mechanisms are designed to allow easy release from the mounting bar for removal thereof from the stroller.

Claims

1. A divider for the separation of child occupants of a stroller for transporting children with adjacent seats comprising: a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plastic sheet; a mounting bar, the mounting bar being insertable into a slot molded into the stroller frame between the adjacent seats of the stroller; a plurality of releasable mounting clamps used to attach the PMMA plastic sheet to the mounting bar, the releasable mounting clamps being designed to prevent lateral rotation of the PMMA plastic sheet so as to prevent personal contact between the occupants of adjacent stroller seats.

2. The divider for the separation of child occupants of a stroller of claim 1 wherein said PMMA plastic sheet used to separate the child occupants is configured so as to prevent contact of the upper and lower bodies of the child occupants in adjacent seats of the stroller.
