Patent ID: 7032911

Claim:
A stroller handle extender for an existing stroller having two push handles, each having a stem, for increasing the effective length of the stems of the push handles so that a taller individual may comfortably stand upright while grasping the push handles and pushing a child in the stroller, and thereby avoid straining the back, neck, and shoulder muscles, comprising: two elongated extender handles, each having a straight portion and a U-shaped portion extending therefrom; and two clamping assemblies, each having: an upper bracket and a lower bracket, each bracket having a first end, a second end, and two spatially separated arcuate grooves extending from the first end to the second end, each bracket further having two bolt holes extending therethrough, said bolt holes positioned between the two arcuate grooves of each of the brackets, wherein when the upper bracket is selectively positioned over the lower bracket, and the bolt holes of the brackets are aligned with one another, the arcuate grooves of the upper bracket and the lower bracket together define two substantially cylindrical channels, one channel for selectively engaging the stem of one of the push handles, and the other channel for simultaneously selectively engaging the straight portion of one of the extender handles; and two bolts and two wing nuts, each bolt having a threaded end, said bolts for selective extension through each of the bolt holes, said wing nuts for selective threading onto the threaded end of each of the bolts when selectively securing the upper bracket to the lower bracket.
