- the first point of contact may be a handle and the second point of contact may be an arm contact. In essence the device provides for easier steering control of the wheeled vehicle.
- the device 10 includes a first member 14 that is coupled to the wheeled vehicle, such as a stroller 12, as for example shown in FIG. 1.
- the first member may be an elongated structure, as for example a rod or may be a panel as for example shown in FIG. 2.
- the first member may have various shapes in plan view, as for example, rectangular, triangular, oval or trapezoidal.
- An arm contact 16, and a handle 18 spaced apart from the arm contact extend from the first member 14.
- the arm contact may be formed by two spaced apart elongated members 20 defining a channel 22 between them for accommodating an arm of the operator as for example shown in FIG. 2.
- the arm contact elongated members 20 may be mounted on the first member in a manner that would allow them to rotate about a rotational longitudinal axis and preferably about a central longitudinal axis so as to facilitate insertion of the operator's arm between the elongated members.
- the elongated members rotate allowing the arm to move without being pinched.
- each of the elongate members may be oblong or irregular in cross-section or may have a rotational axis which is not in the center of the elongated member.
- the members may be rotated about their rotational axis to narrow or widen the gap defined between them.
- any known locking means may be provided to lock the elongated members in any desired rotated position
- the elongated members may be made from a soft material such as rubber or foam.
- the elongated members may be mounted on the first member such that they can be moved relative to each other and fixed at different locations so as to adjust the size of channel 22, i.e., the spacing between the two elongated members, for accommodating arms of different size, i.e., different thickness.
- the arm contact 16 may be in the form of a horseshoe as for example shown in FIG. 3 and may be forming an enclosed loop 24 with the first member 14, as for example shown in FIG. 3. With this embodiment, the operator's arm is inserted into the loop 24.
- the handle 18 may be an elongated generally vertical member, as for example shown in FIG. 1 providing a vertical grip 30, or may be a horizontal handle as for example shown in FIG. 2 providing a horizontal grip 32, or may be any other type of handle which may be gripped by an operator's hand.
- the handle 18 may be adjustably extending from the first member so as to allow for the adjustment of the handle for orienting a grip portion of the handle in various positions that can be selected by the operator, hi an exemplary embodiment, the handle may include a coupling portion 35 onto which is mounted a grip portion 34, as for example shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C.
- the coupling portion may be a curved portion as for example shown in FIGS. 4 A, 4B, and 4C. The curved portion may then be clamped along different locations on the first member so as to adjust the position of the grip portion 34 using a clamping member 36.
- the device 10 may be coupled to the wheeled vehicle 12, as for example to a handle 40 of the wheeled vehicle using a clamp 42, as for example shown in FIG. 1.
- the device may be coupled to the wheeled vehicle using any other known method.
- the clamp 42 allows for the clamping and fixing of the device 10 to the handle 40 at different angles as for example shown in FIG. 1. For example, for taller operators, the device may be rotated to be in a more vertical position 1OA and clamped using claims 42 as for example shown in FIG. 1. For shorter operators, the device may be rotated to position 1OB.
- the clamp 42 When not using the device, the clamp 42 may be loosened allowing the device 10 to be rotated and stowed out of the way to position 1OC as for example shown in FIG. 1. The clamp 42 may then be retightened so as to retain the device in the stowed position.
- the device may be provided with more adjusting points for adjusting the length and/or orientation of device for the comfort of the operator.
- the first member 14 may be collapsible about an axis 44 shown in FIG. 1. In other words, the first member may be made to bend or rotate about the axis 44.
- Another clamping device 46 may then be used to clamp and retain the first member in the rotated or bent position.
- any part of the device may be made to be extendible and/or compressible.
- the first member may be a telescoping member.
- the location of the device handle and arm contact may be adjusted relative to the wheeled vehicle handle and retained in the selected extended or compressed position using a clamping member.

- the entire device 10 may be made to slide lengthwise and/or transversely relative to the wheeled vehicle 12, as for example shown in FIG. 5, and may be fixed or secured in any position relative to the wheeled vehicle using any known means.
- a device may be formed by separate arms 50, 52 as for example shown in FIG. 6. The arms may be pivotably coupled to the wheeled vehicle 12. An elongated member 20 extends from each of the arms 50, 52. The arms are pivoted relative to the wheeled vehicle until the gap 53 defined between the elongated members 20 is sufficient to accommodate the operator's arm. The arms are then fixed relative to each other using a clamp or other locking device 54.
- Each of the arms may in an exemplary embodiment be a telescoping member allowing for adjustment of their length.
- a handle 18 extends from the wheeled vehicle 12 and along with the arms define the device 10.
- the arms 50 and 52 may pivot relative to the wheeled vehicle for being stowed away and/or may be telescoping members as for example shown in FIG. 7 allowing for the adjustment of the distance between each elongate member 20 and the handle 18.
- the arm contact 16 may extend from an arm 60, which serves as the first member which arm may be pivotably coupled to the wheeled vehicle 12 along a pivot axis 61, as for example shown in FIG. 8.
- the device handle 18 is made to extend from the wheeled vehicle.
- the arm 60 may also be telescoping.
- the device may be formed on the wheeled vehicle structure without using a first member.
- the device handle 18 may be mounted on one location of the wheeled vehicle, or on a member extending from the wheeled vehicle, and the arm contact 16 may be mounted on another location on the wheeled vehicle, or on a member extending from the wheeled vehicle, spaced apart from the device handle as for example shown in FIG. 9.
- the device handle 18 may be mounted on one location of the wheeled vehicle, or on a member extending from the wheeled vehicle, and the arm contact 16 may be mounted on another location on the wheeled vehicle, or on a member extending from the wheeled vehicle, spaced apart from the device handle as for example shown in FIG. 9.
- the arm contact 16 may be mounted on another location on the wheeled vehicle, or on a member extending from the wheeled vehicle, spaced apart from the device handle as for example shown in FIG. 9.
- a wheeled vehicle may be provided with more than one inventive device for operating the vehicle, with each device located at different locations on the vehicle.
- the device handle and/or arm contact may be pivotable such that they can be pivoted relative to the structure on which they are mounted. In this regard, the handle and the arm contact may be individually or together pivoted out of the way when not in use.
- the device may be mounted or formed at any location on the wheeled vehicle. For example, the device may be mounted at the center of the wheeled vehicle as for example shown in FIG. 7 or may be mounted off- center as for example shown in FIG. 8. In alternate exemplary embodiments, the mounting of the device may be such that it would allow the operator to slide it or move it to different locations on the wheeled vehicle.
- the device may be formed by a one or more straps 70 which are coupled or wrapped around an operator's arm 69, as for example, an operator's bicep as shown for example in FIG. 10, and which are then coupled to the wheeled device.
- the strap or straps may be coupled to the handle 72 of the wheeled device using any means, as for example Velcro.
- the coupling of the strap to the vehicle handle is achieved by wrapping the strap around the vehicle handle and connecting the strap onto itself, as for example at location 71, using any means, as for example Velcro.
- the portion 74 of the strap which is coupled to the operator's arm serves as the arm contact and the wheeled vehicle handle serves as the device handle.
- a separate handle may be mounted onto the wheeled vehicle and/or the straps may connect to other portions of the wheeled vehicle structure.
- the distance 80 between the device handle 18 and the arm contact 16 may be such that the arm contact accommodates a wrist 75 of the operator, as for example shown in FIG. 11.
- the operator's hand grasps the device handle while the operator's wrist provides a second point of contact allowing for single arm and/or hand operation including steering of the wheeled vehicle.
- the term "operator's arm” as used herein means any part of the operator's arm including the operator's wrist.
- the arm contact 16 may extend from two spaced apart members 14, as shown in FIG. 12.
- the arm contact defines an upside down U- shape or a channel structure as shown in FIG. 12.
- the handle 18 is mounted between the two members 14.
- the handle is adjustable in that it may be fastened along different lengthwise locations on the first members 14. Fastening may be accomplished with many well-known methods, such as by using of fasteners such as screws. For example, fastening nuts may be fixed at either end of the handle. Holes may be formed along the length of each of the members 14. The handle is moved to a desired location between the two first members 14 where its ends are aligned with two holes formed on the opposite members 14.
- Screws are then screwed through the openings formed from the first members 14 and into the fasteners within the handle 18 to fix the handle at the desired location.
- the first members 14 may be pivotably coupled to the vehicle's handle 40 so that they may be rotated out of the way by pushing upwards or downwards when not in use.
- the wheeled vehicle handle 40 may be used as the device handle, thereby alleviating the need for handle 18.
- the device 10 may be formed to have two spaced apart arm contacts 16, each forming an upside down channel which extends from opposite end portions of a handlebar-like member 114.
- the arm contacts are spaced sufficiently apart to accommodate the left and right arm of an operator.
- the handlebar-like member may be coupled to the handle 40 of the wheeled vehicle and may be coupled so as to allow for the device to be rotated relative to the handle so it can be placed and locked in different positions and so that it can be stowed away when not in use.
- the operator may use either his left or his right arm, or both arms to control and steer the vehicle.
- the handlebar-like member 114 is coupled to the handle at about the center of the handlebar-like member.
- an end portion of the handlebar-like member extends from either side of the point of coupling to the handle 40.
- the arm contacts 16 do not form full channels in that they only include a generally vertical portion 116 from which extends a generally transverse portion 118.
- the free end 120 of the generally transverse portion may be bent downwards as shown in FIG. 14. Since the arm contact does not form a full channel, it may be difficult for an operator's arm to provide a sufficient side load in both directions for steering the vehicle.
- the operator may have to use both ends to be able to steer the vehicle in both directions.
- the operator may use his/her right arm, to steer the vehicle in the right direction and his/her left arm to steer the vehicle in the left direction and visa versa if the channel-shaped arm contacts are reversed with the vertical portion being external of each arm.
- it may be easier for the operator to insert his/her arms within the partial channel-shaped arm contact.
- the device may include only one of the shown arm contacts, as for example, either the left or the right arm contact.
- the handlebar-like member 114 may include only one end portion.
- two first members 14 may be coupled to a handle 40 of the vehicle so as to define a triangle with a handle 40.
- An arm contact 16 extends vertically from the vertex of the triangle.
- the two members 14 may be pivotably connected to the handle 40 so that the device may be pivoted out of the way when not in use.
- one of the first members 14 may be positioned such that it is generally perpendicular to the handle 40 of the vehicle.
- the device 10 includes only a single member 14 coupled to the handle 40 of the device from which extends a generally vertical arm contact 16, as for example shown in FIG. 16.
- the wheeled vehicle handle 40 is used as the handle of the device.
- a separate handle 18 may be provided on the device 10 as for example shown in dotted lines in FIGS. 15 and 16. In the exemplary embodiments as shown in FIGS.
- the device is connected to the vehicle handle 40 so as to be able to resist the turning moments that will be applied to the device for turning the vehicle.
- some of these embodiments also provide a different kind of leverage for one handed control.
- the primary handle 40 which is intended for two hand operation is located directly above or nearly directly above (typically just behind) the fixed rear wheels. This arrangement provides very little leverage and makes one hand operation of these vehicles so challenging.
- an arm contact 16 may also act as leverage is created by placing a hand grip either further behind the fixed rear wheels (the pivoting axis) of the vehicle or by placing a handle grip away from the fixed rear wheels to the front side (in the direction of the front wheels) of the wheeled vehicle.
- leverage is also created by using the arm contact 16 as a hand grip.
- the arm contact 16 acts as a "rear hand grip” and it is extended off the back of the wheeled vehicle handle 40. This puts the point of control (the read hand grip) further away from the central pivoting axis of the vehicle, thereby making it easier to maneuver vehicle.
- the rear hand grip is extended off of the primary handlebar away from the pivoting axis of the stroller. This extra distance between the rear hand grip and the wheeled vehicle handle provides additional leverage which makes the vehicle easier to control with one hand.
- Leverage may also be created by use of a "front grip" 100 which can be placed near the front of the wheeled vehicle away from the wheeled vehicle pivoting or rotating axis as for example shown in FIG. 17. In this regard the grip 100 forms the entire device 10 for single hand operation. This design works when the front wheels of the vehicle can rotate and rear wheels are in a fixed position or can be put in a fixed position as is the case with a shopping cart and most baby strollers.
- the front single hand grip can be in a fixed position or can be adjustable or pivotable relative to the wheeled vehicle to be put into position for use or to be stowed away.
- the front grip may also be made to be adjustable in length by being formed, as for example, by telescoping members.
- the front grip is located on the side of the vehicle and not directly in front of the vehicle so that the vehicle itself won't interfere with the operator's stride. The further away from the pivoting axis of the wheeled vehicle the front grip is located, the more leverage it will provide making it easier to control the wheeled vehicle. Any of the grips can be integrated into the vehicle or can be designed and sold as an aftermarket accessory to be attached by the consumer.
- exemplary embodiment devices allow the operator to create leverage using two or more points of contact, or a single hand grip placed away from the pivoting axis of the vehicle as described above. The operator can pick between the two for easy one handed control. One way may be more comfortable or convenient than the other at a given point of time or in a given circumstance.
- the device may be made to be integral with the vehicle, or may be made to be part of the vehicle, or may be provided separately for incorporation into the vehicle after it is manufactured. Any of the aforementioned exemplary embodiment devices may also be integrally formed with the vehicle such that they form the vehicle "handle" for operating the vehicle as for example shown in FIG. 18. With such exemplary embodiments, the force applied to the device to turn the vehicle is reacted at two locations on the vehicle. Furthermore, any of the aforementioned exemplary embodiment devices may be made to be selectively and releasably positioned at a desired level and angle relative to the vehicle for operation and back to a "stow-away" position when not in use.
- the arm contacts 16 and/or the handles 18 described herein may be mounted on the device such that they are capable of rotating about their longitudinal axis.
- the vehicle can be turned without the operator having to let go the vertical arm contact for allowing the vertical arm contact to also turn.
- the vehicle is able to rotate relative to the vertical arm contact.
- some of the exemplary embodiments allow for operation of a wheeled vehicle using a single arm and/or hand of the operator by allowing the operator's arm and/or hand to be coupled to the vehicle or to a device coupled to the vehicle, at two or more locations.
- This provides for two or more separate points of contact between the vehicle or the device coupled to the vehicle and the operator's arm and/or hand providing the necessary leverage to the operator's arm and/or hand allowing for single arm and/or hand operation including steering of the wheeled vehicle in all possible directions.
