Abstract
A joint structure having an anti-pinch safety feature comprises a first support element and a second support element, and a joint structure including a coupling socket and an anti-pinch element. The coupling socket is respectively connected with the first and second support element. The anti-pinch element is interposed between the second support element and the coupling socket. The second support element when rotating about a pivot axis relative to the coupling socket forms a pinch region between an edge of the coupling socket and the second support element, and the anti-pinch element can continuously occlude the pinch region when the second support element is rotating. The joint structure can be suitable for use in a support frame of an infant carrier apparatus.
