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 comprising: a PMMA sheet; a mounting bar; releasable mounding clamps; a design that prevents personal contact between occupants of adjacent stroller seats.

2. The divider of claim 1 wherein the separating component is comprised of PMMA acrylic plastic of a thickness to withstand tactile pressure exerted by a child under the age of 3 years old.

3. The divider of claim 2 wherein said mounting bar is inserted into a slot molded into the stroller frame situated on the back and between adjacent seats of the stroller.

4. The divider of claim 3 wherein divider assembly is affixed to the mounting bar by means of two releasable mounting clamps designed to reasonably prevent lateral rotation of the assembly when in use.

5. The divider of claim 4 wherein said PMMA separator is of a configured shape so as to prevent contact of the upper and lower bodies of occupants in adjacent seats of the stroller.
