A stilt height adjustment apparatus for a stilt having a pivotally movable parallelogram frame structure being partitionable into a top portion including spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal shoe platform and a bottom portion including spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal floor platform, said stilt height adjustment apparatus comprising:
- a spaced pair of connected substantially vertical supports, said vertical supports configured to removably attach between the top portion and bottom portion of the stilt, wherein the removable attachment of the spaced pair of vertical supports of the stilt height adjustment apparatus increases the height of the stilt by vertically extending the pivotally movable parallelogram frame structure.
In a stilt apparatus having a resiliently pivotally movable parallelogram frame structure being separable into a top segment including spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal shoe platform and a bottom segment including spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal floor platform
- the improvement comprising
- the provision, intermediate the shoe platform and the floor platform but adjacent to the top spaced apart vertical strut members and bottom spaced apart vertical strut members, of a height adjustment component being formed to detachably couple the top segment into operable position with the bottom segment while maintaining resilient pivotal movement ability of the parallel frame structure and adjustably increase the height of the stilt.
A stilt height adjustment method comprising:
- separating a top portion of a stilt having spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal shoe platform from a bottom portion of a stilt having spaced apart vertical strut members extending toward a pivotally connected horizontal floor platform;
- providing a height adjustment apparatus including a spaced pair of substantially vertical supports, said vertical supports configured to removably attach between the top portion and bottom portion of the stilt;
- and
- coupling the top portion into operable higher position with the bottom portion by detachably affixing the spaced pair of substantially vertical supports of the height adjustment apparatus to the spaced apart vertical strut members of the top and bottom portions of the stilt.
