Definitions

  • the present invention relates a playing and training appliance.
  • the appliance is in the first place intended for use in playgrounds and similar environments, but can also be used in other places.
  • An appliance according to the present invention comprises a closed body which is freely mounted in bearings so as to pivot when a user tries to sit on it, stand on it or run on it.
  • the main function of the invention is for the user to try to ride on it and, as an element of competition, try to reach a certain position by pivoting the closed body under himself.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a playing and training appliance which
  • a playing and training appliance which comprises at least one closed body with a central pivot shaft which is essentially horizontal or is inclined less than 45° to the horizontal plane.
  • the closed body is arranged to pivot freely on the central pivot shaft.
  • the closed body holds a ballast which affects the pivoting motion.
  • the ballast can counteract and/or coact with the pivoting motion.
  • the playing and training appliance comprises at least one closed body which is designated 2 in the drawings.
  • the closed body 2 is arranged with a pivot shaft 4, on which the closed body 2 pivots; the pivot shaft 4 will be described below.
  • the closed body 2 is intended for a user in the first place to sit on, like on a horse, for instance in a straddling position.
  • the closed body is also intended for a user to stand or run on.
  • the main shape of the closed body 2 is conical in relation to the pivot shaft 4, see Fig. 2.
  • the main shape of the closed body 2 can be cylindrical (not shown) in relation to the pivot shaft 4, or otherwise symmetrical or unsymmetrical, for instance triangular.
  • the closed body 2 is further marked with at least one indication 6 indicating where the user is intended to sit or stand.
  • the indication 6 is formed as a recess or a plurality of recesses in the closed body 2.
  • the closed body 2 has a wavelike surface which makes it possible for at least two users to sit on it at the same time, in a wave shape each. Clear indications 6 give a more ergonomical fit for the user to sit, which is adjusted to different ages and sizes.
  • the closed body 2 is also provided with tactile marks which are arranged round the closed body 2. These marks give the user a possible element of competition, in which the user should pivot the closed body 2 under himself and reach a certain mark.
  • the surface structure of the closed body 2 is designed so that the indications 6 are perfectly smooth while the other surfaces have a friction surface. The surfaces are prepared so that also a visually handicapped person can decide where the intended sitting surface is to be found.
  • the closed body 2 has five different extreme radii, see Figs 1 and 2. To make the closed body 2 pivot requires less physical efforts where the radius is greater. The differences between the varying power conditions between the radii affect the sitting, walking and running function.
  • the closed body 2 is advantageously made in one piece by rotation casting; in this way the closed body 2 will have no joints and the like, which may rip open or may scratch a user.
  • the closed body 2 can also be made of two or more parts which can be joined, for instance using glue, or the like.
  • the closed body 2 holds a freely movable ballast 8, which affects the pivoting motion and which preferably is sand or gravel.
  • the ballast 8 can also consist of steel balls, different types of liquids, oil, polymer mixtures and the like.
  • the ballast 8 has a weight of about 10-40 kg, preferably about 15-25 kg.
  • the closed body 2 can on the inside be provided with low partition walls 10 or the like, which affect the ballast, "the sand is to swish about", see Fig. 3b.
  • the ballast 8 consists of sand or gravel, its angle of repose should not be affected by outer circumstances; for instance the ballast should not stick if it is wet and damp outside.
  • the closed body 2 is provided with a through tube 12.
  • bearings 16 are arranged, for instance slide bearings, in which bearings 16 the closed body 2 is mounted on the pivot shaft 4.
  • the pivot shaft 4 may consist of, for example, some kind of prior-art stand, such as a bent steel tube.
  • a strip is arranged between the bearing 16 and the pivot shaft 4 to have a damping and/or sealing effect, such as a stop strip, strip seal or the like.
  • the closed body 2 can be provided without the through tube 12. In that case, the bearings 16 are mounted directly on fastening elements (not shown) arranged on the closed body 2.
  • the central pivot shaft 4 is essentially horizontal. It may also be angled so as to be inclined, but less than 45° to the horizontal plane.
  • the closed body 2 is arranged to pivot freely on the central pivot shaft 4.
  • the ballast 8 held by the closed body 2 affects the pivoting motion by counteracting and, thus, damping it.
  • the ballast 8 can also coact with the pivoting motion and, thus, reinforce it.
  • two closed bodies 2 are arranged on a common pivot shaft 4 (see Fig. 4).
