<p>This disclosure shows a skating device designed to enable the user to perform the physical movements required when ice skating in artificial conditions, such as, for example, when there is no readily accessible ice rink or frozen lake. As such, the skating device can be used indoors at any time of the year. The device itself consists of a frame with a step for each foot on an approximately horizontal, pivotable guide. Each step is slidingly movable along its pivotable guide. Biasing force means, arising from the use of suitable weights, oppose the skating movements of the user and restore the parts of the skating device to their initial rest positions following these movements. The frame includes a horizontal pole, whose position is adjustable, for gripping by the user's hands.</p> |
