A remote control device 1 simplified in construction and with an improved usability and a baby carriage 100 possessed of the device 1 are disclosed. The remote control device 1 is connected via wire cables 2 and 3 to a folding and a handle switching mechanism 111 and 112 . A pair of pulleys 10 a and 10 b rotatably supported by a support shaft 4 are rotated by a rotary plate 20 so as to wind the wire cables 2 and 3 thereon, respectively. The rotary plate 20 is rotatably supported between the pulleys 10 a and 10 b . A switching plate 40 is operated to select one of the pulleys 10 a and 10 b representative of a selected one of the folding and handle switching mechanisms. The switching plate 40 drives said rotary plate to assume a pre-established rotational angular position at which the rotary plate is capable of actuating and then rotating a selected one pulley 10 a or 10 b . A control lever 30 stroke-movable is operated to rotationally drive the rotary plate 20 from the pre-established angular position, thereby rotating the selected one pulley.

1. A remote control device connected to at least two independent controllable members via wire cable means for locking and unlocking the controllable members, said device comprising:a switching plate to selectively switch between controlling either one of said two independent controllable members for locking and unlocking; anda single control lever to lock and unlock one of the controllable members switched with said switching plate,wherein the other controllable member switched with said switching plate is locked and unlocked with said single control lever. 2. A remote control device connected to at least two independent controllable members via wire cable means for locking and unlocking said two independent controllable members, said wire cable means including a pair of wire cables having their respective one ends connected to said two independent controllable members, respectively, said device comprising:a pair of pulleys rotatably supported by a shaft and connected to other ends of said wire cables, respectively, wherein said pulleys are alternatively rotatable by a rotary plate and each of said pulleys when so rotated is adapted to wind thereon an end portion of the wire cable associated therewith;said rotary plate rotatably supported between said pulleys and coaxially therewith having a pair of pre-established rotational angular positions assumable thereby and related to said pulleys, respectively;a switching plate operable to select one of said pulleys representative of a selected one of said two independent controllable members, said switching plate being adapted to drive said rotary plate to assume one of said pre-established rotational angular position at which said rotary plate is capable of actuating and then rotating said selected one pulley; anda control lever stroke-movable for rotationally driving said rotary plate from said pre-established angular position, thereby rotating said selected one pulley. 3. A remote control device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said rotary plate includes an engagement shaft adapted to engage with said control lever, and each of said pulleys includes a projection adapted to engage with said rotary plate, and wherein said engagement shaft is spaced from a center of rotation thereof by a distance greater than a distance by which said projection is spaced from an axis of rotation thereof. 4. A remote control device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said rotary plate is adapted to rotate said two pulleys in mutually opposite directions, and said two pulleys are adapted, to wind said wire cables thereon in mutually opposite directions, respectively. 5. A remote control device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said two wire cables are each kept taut under tension. 6. A remote control device as set forth in claim 2, wherein said switching plate is slidably movable bi-directionally and so is said rotary plate rotatable, in such a manner that said rotary plate is rotatable in a sense determined by a direction in which said switching plate is moved; said switching plate is lockable at each of the ends of its two slidable movements; and said rotary plate has a slide contact segment adapted to unlock the locked said switching plate. 7. A remote control device as set forth in claim 6, wherein said switching plate includes a guide projection operable to guide said control lever when said switching plate has reached the end of its slidable movement and said control lever has been shifted to its operable position; and said guide projection is also operable to engage with said control lever and thus to be caught thereby when said switching plate is restoring its normal position. 8. A remote control device as set forth in claim 7, said switching plate is energized by spring means so as to restore its normal position. 9. A remote control device as set forth in claim 8, wherein said control lever is energized so as to restore its non-operable position. 10. A baby carriage having a folding mechanism an d a handle switching mechanism as two independent controllable members, wherein said folding and handle switching mechanisms are adapted to be locked and unlocked by a remote control device as set forth in any one of claims 1 to 9.
