A child swing comprises a frame including first and second rear legs and first and second housings. First and second fold mechanisms pivotally connect the first and second rear legs to the first and second housings, respectively. The fold mechanisms each include a socket member to receive an upper end of the respective leg. The socket member is pivotally mounted to the respective housing to guide pivoting movement of the respective leg relative to the respective housing. The fold mechanisms each can further include a release lever pivotally mounted to the socket member, and a locking pin connected to the release lever for engagement with the respective housing to facilitation positioning of the respective leg in an in-use position and in a folded position.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/304,014, filed Nov. 26, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,645,080, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
A folding device for connecting legs of a highchair includes first and second folding members, a toothed wheel, and an actuator. The first folding member is formed with a positioning groove, and the second folding member is formed with a position limiting unit. The toothed wheel includes a wheel body that is disposed between the first and second folding members and that has a periphery provided with a primary tooth engaging the positioning groove. The primary tooth engages the position limiting unit to lock the second folding member from movement relative to the first folding member when the second folding member is at an expanded position. The actuator is operated to release the second folding member from the locking action of the toothed wheel when moving the second folding member back to a folded position.
