Rodeo or riding device

Abstract

A riding device includes one or more cranks rotatably attached to a base, and a rider support supported on a carrier and movable relative to the base for supporting a rider, and a moving device for moving the carrier and the rider support relative to the base in an elliptical and reciprocating action, the rider support may be moved in different moving strokes relative to the base and may be adjusted up and down relative to the carrier. The base includes one or more rotatable cranks and the carrier includes a curved member slidably and movably engaged with the crank for allowing the curved member of the carrier to be forced to move in the elliptical and reciprocating action by the crank.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a rodeo or riding device, and more particularly to a rodeo or riding device including a rider support or saddle supported on a carrier which is movable relative to a base by a drive mechanism or device in an elliptical and reciprocating action for allowing the rider support also to be moved relative to the by in the elliptical and reciprocating action.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical riding devices or rodeo training devices comprise a rider support for supporting the users thereon, and a drive mechanism having a crank arm coupled to the rider support to drive the rider support and to simulate the bucking and / or spinning motions of a rodeo animal attempting to unseat its rider.[0005]For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,979 to Turner discloses one of the typical rodeo training devices also comprising a drive mechanism coupled to the rider support with a crank arm for training...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]The other objective of the present invention is to provide a rodeo or riding device including a rider support and / or a carrier movable relative to a drive mechanism or device for allowing the rider support to be moved in different moving strokes relative to the drive mechanism or device by the drive mechanism or device and by the moment of inertia.

Problems solved by technology

However, the rotating frame may only be rotated relative to the stationary base frame but not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in different moving stroke.

However, the fixed frame and the lower frame portion of the body portion may not be moved relative to the supporting ground or plane in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in different moving stroke.

However, the seat plate is also solidly coupled to the drive mechanism with the cranks and the swing arms, such that the seat plate may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in different moving stroke.
