Abstract
A stroller handle adaptor having a first handle assembly rotationally coupled to the first end of a shaft having a shaft axis, the first handle assembly further comprising a first cylindrical housing having a first axis with a first handle protruding tangentially therefrom, wherein the first handle rotates about the first axis and the first axis is offset from the shaft axis, a second handle assembly rotationally coupled to the second end of the shaft, the second handle assembly further comprising a second cylindrical housing having a second axis with a second handle protruding tangentially therefrom, wherein the second handle rotates about the second axis and the second axis is offset from the shaft axis, wherein the stroller handles assembly is adapted to couple to an existing stroller handle.
Claims35
A stroller handle assembly comprising:
- a first handle assembly rotationally coupled to a first end of a shaft having a shaft axis, the first handle assembly further comprising a first cylindrical housing having a first axis with a first handle protruding tangentially therefrom, wherein the first handle rotates about the first axis and the first axis is offset from the shaft axis;
- a second handle assembly rotationally coupled to a second end of the shaft, the second handle assembly further comprising a second cylindrical housing having a second axis with a second handle protruding tangentially therefrom, wherein the second handle rotates about the second axis and the second axis is offset from the shaft axis;
- and
- wherein the stroller handle assembly is adapted to couple to an existing stroller handle.
A stroller handle apparatus comprising:
- a mounting bar (501) having a telescoping length adjustment;
- a first clamp (502) mounted proximate a first end of the mounting bar adapted to clamp to a bar perpendicular to the mounting bar;
- a second clamp (602) mounted proximate a second end of the mounting bar adapted to clamp to a bar perpendicular to the mounting bar;
- a first rotational resistance body (503) mounted to the first end of the mounting bar and being substantially cylindrical about a rotational axis (520);
- a first inner collet (505) having a conical outer surface (506) and cylindrical inner surface (516) about the rotational axis;
- a first outer collet (507) having a conical inner surface (508) about the rotational axis fitting against the outer surface (506) of the first inner collet (505);
- a first tension knob (509) threaded into the first rotational housing along an adjustment axis (530) parallel to but offset from the rotational axis (520), wherein rotation of the first tension knob (509) adjusts frictional forces between the first inner collet (505) and first outer collet (507);
- a first handle housing (510) having a substantially cylindrical inner surface (511) about the rotational axis (520);
- a first handle (512) mounted at a first end to the first handle housing (510);
- a second rotational resistance body (603) mounted to the second end of the mounting bar and being substantially cylindrical about a second rotational axis (620);
- a second inner collet (605) having a conical outer surface (606) and cylindrical inner surface (616) about the second rotational axis;
- a second outer collet (607) having a conical inner surface (608) about the second rotational axis fitting against the outer surface (606) of the second inner collet (605);
- a second tension knob (609) threaded into the second rotational housing along a second adjustment axis (630) parallel to but offset from the second rotational axis (620) wherein rotation of the second tension knob (609) adjusts frictional forces between the second inner collet (605) and second outer collet (607);
- a second handle housing (610) having a substantially cylindrical inner surface (611) about the second rotational axis (620);
- and
- a second handle (612) mounted at a first end to the second handle housing (610).
