Trolley apparatus, system, method of use, and method of manufacture

A trolley system for exercise and recreational entertainment, the trolley system comprising:

• a flat webbing strap, the flat webbing strap being configured to be tensioned between two anchors;
• a trolley apparatus, the trolley apparatus being configured to be supported by the flat webbing strap and being adapted to roll upon the flat webbing strap in an as-used mode of the trolley apparatus, the trolley apparatus comprising:
• a first side plate, the first side plate having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first interior surface, and a first exterior surface opposite the first interior surface;
• a second side plate, the second side plate having a third end, a fourth end opposite the third end, a second interior surface, and a second exterior surface opposite the second interior surface;
• a support axle mounted through and/or between the first side plate and the second side plate such that the first side plate and the second side plate are at opposite ends of the support axle, the support axle supporting one or more roller components, the one or more roller components defining a rolling surface, an individual roller component of the one or more roller components having a circular cross section;
• and
• wherein the flat webbing strap supports the trolley apparatus by communicating the flat webbing strap between the first interior surface of the first side plate and the second interior surface of the second side plate such that the one or more roller components of the support axle sit atop the flat webbing strap in contact with the rolling surface in the as-used mode.

A method of manufacture of a trolley apparatus for exercise and recreational entertainment adapted to roll upon a flat webbing strap, the method comprising:

• forming a first side plate, the first side plate having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first interior surface, and a first exterior surface opposite the first interior surface;
• forming a second side plate, the second side plate having a third end, a fourth end opposite the third end, a second interior surface, and a second exterior surface opposite the second interior surface;
• mounting a support axle through and/or between the first side plate and the second side plate such that the first side plate and the second side plate are at opposite ends of the support axle, the support axle supporting one or more roller components, the one or more roller components defining a rolling surface adapted to roll upon the flat webbing strap, an individual roller component of the one or more roller components having a circular cross section;
• and
• wherein a distance spanning between the first interior surface of the first side plate and the second interior surface of the second side plate is at least four centimeters to accommodate a width of the flat webbing strap.

A method of use of a trolley system for exercise and recreational entertainment, the trolley system comprising a flat webbing strap, a trolley apparatus adapted to roll upon the flat webbing strap, the trolley apparatus comprising a first side plate, a second side plate, and a support axle mounted through and/or between the first side plate and the second side plate including one or more roller components, the one or more roller components defining a rolling surface, an individual roller component of the one or more roller components having a circular cross section, the method comprising:

• suspending the flat webbing strap between two anchors;
• tensioning the flat webbing strap to a desired tension;
• and
• mounting the trolley apparatus to the flat webbing strap so that the flat webbing strap runs under the one or more roller components of the trolley apparatus in contact with the rolling surface.
