Description

I

Buggy Skis This invention relates to a device for the ease of use of a child's pushchair on Snow or Sand.

When pushing a Childs pushchair on Snow or Sand it can be difficult to manoeuvre as the wheels of the pushchair become forced downwards and forwards in the Snow or Sand.

When the invention is attached to a child's pushchair it appears to become much easier to push and manoeuvre on either Snow or Sand. These items are attached without any modification to the pushchair. The invention is lightweight and will easily fit under a pushchair and if needed fit easily into a travel case The invention wilJ now be easier to understand by way of enclosed sketch drawings in which: Figure 1. Shows a pair of devices which can attach to the wheels of a child's pushchair by the way of rubber straps.

Figure 2. Shows a top view of the devices and the strap positions which will attach to a pushchairs wheel.

Figure 3. Shows a curve of the front of the device and adjustable siraps which fit over a pusbchairs wheel adjust at the rear concealed in a raised area of this device.

Figure 4. Shows these devices attached to the wheels of child's pushchair from a side view, which incorporates a separate raised section which contains the mechanism for adjusting the tension of the straps Figure 5. Shows these devices attached to the wheels of a child's pushchair from a front view.

In figure 1. the rubber straps I. which will attach to the wheels of the pushchair 6.

without any modification and will be adjusted for fitting by the end of the strap at the back of the device by means of a catch device 2. In figure 2. The underside of the wheel fits in a space 3. of the raised area 5. of this device, to maintain stability of the wheel.

As two straps I. Are used with a double wheel version of pushchair this becomes more stable for manoeuvring. In figure 3. The front end of these devices 4. are curved to allow ease of forward motion. In figure 4. The raised position 5. Is shown.

In figure 5. The devices are shown attached to wheels 6. Of a pushchair from a front view.
