PANCAKE WHEEL GRANTED U.S. PATENT ON WORLD'S THINNEST FOLDING JOGGING STROLLER DESIGN
Virginia Beach, Virginia —— Pancake Wheel announces that the U.S. patent office has granted it patent protection on the world's thinnest folding
jogging stroller technology, and that international patents are also pending.
Pancake Wheel's technology is a quantum leap and a marked change from prior jogger design–Pancake's baby joggers fold to about 6 inches thin with all 3
wheels intact, eliminating the inconvenience of detaching tires to achieve a flat profile. Other commercially available jogging strollers typically use a folding system allowing a center fold, to fold the frame in
half, however the devices remain a bulky 15 or more inches thick, swallowing most vehicle storage space. The first Pancake jogger patent (others are pending) discloses a new forward wheel folding system, and
unique methods to fold the jogger rear wheels. Pancake is currently seeking and exploring worldwide commercial licensing and distribution agreements.
