| 20080220948 | HOPPING BALL - A hopping play ball has one or more water reservoirs in fluid communication with one or more squirt nozzles. The squirt nozzles are activated by a user. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090062083 | Rocking type exercising apparatus - A rocking type exercising apparatus includes a movable unit on which a user rides and a driving unit for causing the movable unit to perform a rocking motion. The driving unit includes a motor having power supply terminals a speed reduction means for reducing a rotational speed of the motor and a brake circuit for electrically short-circuiting the power supply terminals of the motor when the motor is stopped. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100190616 | Exercise apparatus - An exercising apparatus includes a movable unit on which a user straddles and a driving unit for driving the movable unit. The driving unit changes a state of the movable unit to provide the user with an exercising load. A storage part stores corresponding relationships between the states of the movable unit and the messages, and a state detector detects the state of the movable unit at approximately the same timing as the output timing determined by an output timing determination part. A message output part outputs messages corresponding to the user's postures repeatedly during a period of providing the user with an exercising load. The message output part extracts the message corresponding to the state of the movable unit detected by the state detector from the storage part and outputs the extracted message at the output timing determined by the output timing determination part. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110269602 | HOPPING BALL - A hopping play ball has one or more water reservoirs in fluid communication with one or more squirt nozzles. The squirt nozzles are activated by a user. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110275491 | HOPPING BALL - A hopping play ball has one or more water reservoirs in fluid communication with one or more squirt nozzles. The squirt nozzles are activated by a user. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20120115687 | Adjustable spring device for walking and running - An adjustable spring device for walking and running is attached to user's footwear creating comfortable conditions during the locomotion. In an embodiment, it includes: an upper lever and lower lever locating one above the other, wherein at least one of the levers is made of elastic material, and a support mechanism having a joint shaft that allows the levers to be pivoting. The device includes a first flexible link connecting the front ends of the levers, and a second flexible link connecting the rear ends of the levers. The links can be adjusted to a certain constant length before the deployment of the device. For creating optimal energy exchange conditions between the device and user, and reducing the shock loads on the user's leg joints and spine, the device can be adapted by shifting the support mechanism between the levers and by adjusting the flexible links between the lever ends. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20130210587 | BOUNCING APPARATUS - The present invention provides a bouncing apparatus adjustable between a pogo stick configuration and a stilt configuration. The bouncing apparatus has a first frame member and a second frame member removably coupled to the first frame member. Both the first frame member and the second frame member include a body, a piston moveable with respect to the body, and a first biasing member extending between the piston and the body. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20130296140 | HOPPING BALL - A hopping play ball comprises a pair of elongated grips or handles adjacent to each other and extending radially outward from the surface of the ball. The ball may also comprise an array of mammillated protrusions on the lower surface, opposite the handles, to improve the stability during bouncing on a soft or elastic surface, such as a trampoline rebounding mat. In other embodiments, the ball has one or more water reservoirs in fluid communication with squirt nozzles disposed on either the surface of the ball or an outward facing portion of the handles. The squirt nozzles are activated by the player via the handle grips, and may pump or squirt water in response to each bounce or may be triggered independent of the players bouncing movement. The mammillated surface aids in preventing slippage of the balls during such types of wet play with multiple players. | 11-07-2013 |
| 20140349818 | NOVEL EXERCISE AND SPORTING APPARATUS - A novel exercise and sporting apparatus with improved safety features is disclosed. In preferred embodiments, the apparatus comprises: a first resilient arched member having two opposite end zones, and being configured to securely engage with a foot receiving member; a second resilient arched member having two opposite end zones, and being configured to contact a ground surface; a connection element being configured to connect an end zone of the first resilient arched member with an end zone of the second resilient arched member, and a rotation-opposing assembly extending from the connection element toward a ground surface, the rotation-opposing assembly being configured to limit an amount of rotational motion of the apparatus. | 11-27-2014 |
| 20160001133 | Combination Pogo Stick and Hauling Device - A combination pogo stick and hauling device comprising a tubular frame having a “pogo” end and a “hauler” end, footpeg-handle elements attached at both ends thereof, telescopically and slidably fitted into the “pogo” end of the frame is a stem with a ground-engaging element at an external end, a spring is provided for acting axially between the frame and the stem; arranged at the “hauler” end of the frame are a steering headset, a lock member for locking and unlocking the steering headset, a coupling element attached to the steering headset, and a wheel-fork assembly. | 01-07-2016 |
| 20160001134 | PISTON CONFIGURATIONS FOR PNEUMATIC POGO STICK - A pneumatic pogo stick is provided that utilizes compressed air like a spring to have a potentially higher power to weight ratio than a comparable coil spring pogo stick. The pneumatic pogo stick includes an elongate cylindrical housing which forms a cylinder. The housing is formed from a clear polycarbonate plastic. A top cap is attached to one end of the housing to form the top of an air chamber. A piston, slidable within the cylinder, forms the bottom of the air chamber. An elongate shaft is coupled to the bottom of the piston and is moveable therewith, extending from the distal end of said housing as the piston moves within the cylinder. A bottom bracket assembly is attached to the bottom of the housing and a bushing for maintaining the lateral position of the shaft relative to the housing is attached to the bottom bracket assembly. The bushing prevents the shaft from rotating relative to the housing. User foot supports are also attached to the bottom bracket for supporting the feet of the user and handle bars are attached to the top cap for grasping with the hands of a user. Improvements are also provided to the piston and air shaft that allow for reduced hammering and a lower maximum compression ratio in order to provide relatively smooth jumping and landing while propelling a user to greater heights. Examples of such improvements include a hollow air shaft and modifications to the shape and structure of the piston. | 01-07-2016 |
