Benefits of technology

[0011] Cross-bracing bars which are intended to strengthen the installation of the device.
[0049] The device according to the invention, wholly or partially, can be judiciously used in a number of cases in which it is desirable to prevent persons from falling when learning given sports or during various training systems.

Problems solved by technology

When a novice pupil falls, he often takes a long time to get up again and if his falls are regular, he spends only a very small amount of time, during his training course, in learning to ski.

embodiment

[0066] The structure of the device according to the invention can be produced with various materials, but it is preferable to construct it completely or partially from aluminium so that it can readily be handled during its production and during assembly and disassembly in situ. This lightness allows the size of packing cases and the costs of road, rail, sea or air transport to be reduced.

[0067] With reference to the drawings and as shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus comprises carriers which are each composed of two posts (5) and a cross-piece (1). FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-piece (1) which can be more or less long and which is composed of a rectangular tube (2), to which two assembly plates (3) and three securing plates (4) are welded, allowing the locking flanges (15) to be bolted. The number of securing plates (4) depends on the length of the cross-piece (1). FIG. 4 illustrates a post (5) which is composed of a carrier tube (6), at the bottom of which a square plate (9) is welded. At...

Abstract

The invention concerns a device enabling able-bodied or handicapped persons to learn to practise roller skating, skateboarding, ice skating, skiing on snow or artificial track. The invention is characterized in that it comprises supports consisting of posts supporting the cross members beneath which are maintained rails whereon can move freely rolling wheeled carriages whereto are attached the straps secured to the harnesses, obstacles arranged or provided beneath the rails, seats provided each with two hollow pockets with inclined base enabling the persons to put on their skates and fix their strap to the harness, signalling strips arranged on the floor serving to guide visually impaired or blind persons, a device including a sensor triggering a sound signal whereof the tone is different depending on the type of the obstacle, carriages with inclined side panels retaining the straps secured to the fastening points of the harnesses.

Description

[0001] Device allowing persons, even handicapped persons, to learn to practise roller skating, skateboarding, ice skating, skiing, horse riding and swimming without falling or sinking. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to a device which allows persons to learn, easily and without any risk of falling, to roller skate, skateboard, ice skate, ski on snow or on artificial pistes and also to learn to swim without any risk of sinking. [0003] Learning these disciplines often leads to falls, sometimes serious falls, in particular in the case of elderly people. Learning to swim often gives rise to the fear of sinking in people, in particular when they know that they are out of their depth. [0004] The device according to the invention allows all these disadvantages to be overcome. Its use has the advantage that the user never falls or sinks and thus learns without being in a permanent state of fear. Consequently, the user will learn much more quickly and without any risk ho...
