Abstract:
1. An adjustable handle assembly for a device configured to support and carry a child and to be moved along a surface, the device having a handle extension that extends from a part of the device and that has an end with an extension axis, the handle assembly comprising: a stem configured to attach to the end of the handle extension; a grip body coupled to the stem, the grip body independently movable relative to the handle extension both longitudinally along the extension axis and rotationally about the extension axis; an actuator on the handle assembly and movable between a lock position retaining the grip body in a fixed position relative to the handle extension and a release position permitting both longitudinal and rotational movement of the grip body relative to the extension axis between a plurality of selectable longitudinal and rotational positions; a pair of slots spaced apart on opposite sides of a core body of the stem and oriented longitudinally along the core body, each slot of a finite length; a pin oriented laterally across the handle extension and fixed in position relative to the handle extension, the pin extending through each of the slots; a resilient bow longitudinally fixed relative to and within the core body between the opposite sides; and a cam rod oriented longitudinally within the core body between the opposite sides and connected for movement with the actuator, wherein the core body can slide between two selectable longitudinal positions defined by the length of the slots, and wherein the pin is captured at one end of the slots in a first one of the two selectable positions and is captured at an opposite end of the slots in a second one of the two selectable positions.
