Abstract
A handle extension for a stroller is described. Embodiments of the handle extension can be implemented to allow for the natural movement of arms of a user while pushing a stroller. Embodiments include a pair of handle extensions rotatably coupled to a stroller handlebar. The handle extensions can rotate about the stroller handlebar and include a means to allow for movement of a handle of the handle extension in addition to the handle extension rotating about the handlebar.
Claims22
A handle extension comprising:
- a clamp assembly adapted to rotatably couple to a stroller handlebar;
- a rod assembly adjustable in length, a first end of the rod assembly being coupled to the clamp assembly;
- an elbow joint including (i) a first clamp coupled to a second end of the rod assembly, and (ii) a second clamp rotatably coupled to the first clamp;
- a locking mechanism adapted to prohibit the second clamp from rotating when the locking mechanism is engaged;
- and
- a handle being coupled to the second clamp and including an actuator to engage the locking mechanism.

A method for implementing a handle extension, the method comprising:
- providing a handle extension, the handle extension including:
- a clamp assembly;
- a rod assembly adjustable in length, a first end of the rod assembly being coupled to the clamp assembly;
- an elbow joint including (i) a first clamp coupled to a second end of the rod assembly, and (ii) a second clamp rotatably coupled to the first clamp;
- and
- a handle being coupled to the second clamp;
- securing the clamp assembly to a handlebar of a stroller, the handle extension being able to rotate about the handlebar;
- and
- pushing the stroller via the handle extension,
- wherein the clamp assembly rotates around the handlebar as the stroller is pushed.

A handle extension comprising:
- a handle having a substantially “L” shape;
- an elbow joint including a first clamp rotatably coupled to a second clamp, the handle being coupled to the first clamp;
- a rod assembly adjustable in length, a first end of the rod assembly being coupled to the second clamp of the elbow joint;
- and
- a clamp assembly including:
- a first assembly clamp coupled to a second end of the rod assembly;
- and
- a second assembly clamp adapted to rotatably couple to a stroller handlebar;
- wherein (i) a borehole formed by the first assembly clamp is oriented substantially perpendicular to a borehole formed by the second assembly clamp, (ii) the first assembly clamp is secured to the second assembly clamp, and (iii) the second assembly clamp is adapted to secure to handlebars having different diameters.
