Abstract:
A steering apparatus for adapting a push-from-behind transportation device having a push bar for steering through pulling in an abreast or leading position. The steering apparatus includes a telescopic bar to selectively adjust the length as the steering apparatus extends forward from the pushing bar. The connection of the steering apparatus to the pushing bar may be integrated thereto, facilitated by a removable load bearing device as well as pivotal connection so as to increasing the steering and navigating of the push-from-behind transportation device by pulling from either side or the front thereof.

Claim (Index 11):
A steering system for a push-from-behind transportation device, comprising:\n a telescopic bar connected to a pushing bar of said push-from-behind transportation device; the telescopic bar comprising an outer tube and an inner member slidable in the outer tube for selectively moving the telescopic bar between an extended condition and a retracted condition; a quick release mechanism for moving the inner member between a locked engagement and an unlocked engagement relative to the outer tube; a load bearing device removably attached to the pushing bar; the load bearing device providing one or more slots along a lower or rear portion thereof; strapping for wrapping the load bearing device around a portion of the pushing bar, the strapping operatively engaging each slot; the bar support and each slot spaced apart by two or more inches; a locking mechanism removably locking the telescopic bar to the pushing bar; the pushing bar being disposed adjacent a rear portion of said push-from-behind transportation device; and a distal end of the telescopic bar extending forwardly adjacent a front portion of said push-from-behind transportation device in the extended condition.
