Stroller propulsion apparatus
View Patent ↗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.
1. 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.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bottom end of the elongated handle is detachably attached to the handlebar of the stroller by a clamp.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the handle grip comprises a T shape.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the elongated handle is foldable.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resistance element is pneumatic.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the resistance element is adjustable.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the elongated handle is rotatably attached to the handlebar of the stroller to enable a 360-degree movement of the elongated handle with respect to the handlebar of the stroller.
8. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the clamp of the elongated handle comprises a lever lock to secure the elongated handle to the stroller.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the resistance element is adjusted in one or more intervals by the pneumatic valve.
10. A stroller propulsion apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a foldable elongated handle rotatably attached to a handlebar of a stroller;
a handle grip attached to a top end of the elongated handle wherein a user applies pressure to the top end of the elongated handle to move the elongated handle in a forward and backward direction in a reciprocating motion;
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 the forward 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.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the elongated handle is detachably attached to the stroller by a clamp.
12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the top end of the elongated handle is folded down perpendicular to the handlebar of the stroller.
13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the resistance element is pneumatic.
14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the elongated handle is rotatably attached to the handlebar of the stroller to enable a 360-degree movement of the elongated handle with respect to the handlebar.
15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the elongated handle is detachably attached to the handlebar of the stroller to enable the elongated handle to be removed and stored.
16. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the elongated handle comprises the pneumatic valve to adjust the resistance element in one or more intervals.
17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the clamp of the elongated handle comprises a lever lock to secure the elongated handle to the stroller.
