Abstract
Disclosed is a stroller propulsion apparatus, comprising a pair of elongated handles attached to a handlebar of a stroller. The elongated handles further comprise a grip and a resistance element. By using the grips, the user applies a pressure on the handles and the resistance element to move the handles in a forward direction and a rearward direction in a reciprocating motion propelling the stroller in the forward direction to allow a user to maintain an ergonomic positions while walking and exercising.
Claims17
A stroller propulsion apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated handle having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end of the elongated handle detachably attached to a handlebar of a stroller;
- a handle grip attached to the top end of the elongated handle;
- a sliding tube mounted over the elongated handle, to be moved in an upward direction and a downward direction based on the direction of a movement of the elongated handle, wherein the sliding tube comprises a resistance element to be stretched and compressed for propelling the stroller in a forward direction and a backward direction, based on the direction of the movement of the sliding tube of the elongated handle;
- and
- a pneumatic valve configured outside of the sliding tube and adjacent to the sliding tube, wherein the pneumatic value is configured to adjust a resistance level of the resistance element that extends vertically within the sliding tube, wherein the pneumatic value adjusts the resistance level of a spring extending vertically and a resistance level of the elongated handle extending horizontally, wherein the pneumatic valve adjusts each resistance level by changing a size of an aperture.
