The apparatus includes an elongated rod configured to be coupled to a member of the object through a clamp. The apparatus further includes a means for articulating the rod for enabling the rod to engage at an upright orientation when not in use or a holding orientation when in use. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus, comprising: an elongated rod adapted to be pivotally coupled to a handle member of a wheeled object; and a mounted to the elongated rod, wherein the clamp is configured to secure the elongated rod to the handle member, wherein the clamp comprises a hub and a housing, wherein the hub comprises an actuator operatively connecting a gear, wherein the housing comprises ball joint inserts and removable inserts, wherein the ball joint inserts and the removable inserts are inserted in the housing to engage and secure the handle member within the clamp, wherein the elongated rod extends horizontally from the handle member in a holding orientation allowing a user to push the elongated rod in order to push the wheeled object via the handle member, wherein the actuator is engaged allowing the gear to disengage the clamp with the handle member to allow the elongated rod to be positioned in an upright orientation from the holding orientation, and wherein the elongated rod positions adjacent to the handle member in the upright orientation, when not in use. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the clamp further comprises: a handle screw inside the housing for engaging the handle member between the ball joint inserts and the removable inserts. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the elongated rod has a telescopic configuration for adjusting length of the elongated rod. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the actuator connects to a barrel for triggering the gear for articulating the elongated rod to engage at the holding orientation. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4, further comprises a spring connected to the gear for enabling the elongated rod to move from the holding orientation to the upright orientation. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the elongated rod is configured to be attached at different positions on the wheeled object depending on parameters including height of a user, weight of a user, and configuration of the handle member. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the clamp further comprises: knob, for moving the handle screw to engage the handle member with the apparatus by pushing the ball joint inserts against the removable inserts. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wheeled object includes one of a stroller, a trolley, and a four wheeled suitcase to which the apparatus is adapted for pushing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprises one or more foam-pad pads adhered to the at least one removable insert inserts to ensure a tight clamping of the apparatus to the handle member of the wheeled object. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the elongated rod is configured to rotate and lock in at 0 degrees and 90 degrees thereby enabling the elongated rod to be folded against the handle member of the wheeled object when in the upright orientation when not in use, or the elongated rod is locked down horizontally to be in the holding orientation when in use. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the elongated rod includes a curvature to provide an additional place to hold onto, as it is L shaped or a loop around and a parallel portion. ### Claim 12 A wheeled object comprising: a handle member; an elongated rod adapted to be pivotally coupled to the handle member; and a clamp mounted to the elongated rod, wherein the clamp is configured to secure the elongated rod to the handle member, wherein the clamp comprises a hub and a housing, wherein the hub is configured to articulate the elongated rod to enable the elongated rod to engage at a holding orientation and an upright orientation, wherein the hub comprises an actuator operatively connecting a gear, wherein the elongated rod extends horizontally from the handle member in the holding orientation allowing a user to push the elongated rod in order to push the wheeled object via the handle member, and wherein the actuator is engaged for articulating the elongated rod to engage at the holding orientation and position to the upright orientation with respect to the handle member. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The wheeled object of claim 12, wherein the wheeled object includes one of a stroller, a trolley, and a four wheeled suitcase to which the wheeled object is adapted for pushing. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The wheeled object of claim 13, further comprises a spring connected to the gear for enabling the elongated rod to rotate or move from the holding orientation to the upright orientation. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The wheeled object of claim 14, wherein the elongated rod is configured to be attached at different positions on the wheeled object depending on parameters, including height of a user, weight of the user, or configuration of the handle member on the wheeled object. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The wheeled object of claim 15, wherein the actuator connects to a barrel that triggers the gear.
