<p>The device could be used for the imitation of skiing in different directions including uphill, downhill and flat surface skiing. The adjustable device consists of 2 axes (1,3) with appropriate wheels (2,4). Each of the two axes has latches (5,6). The rear axis (3) has a fixed control rod (7), on which a bar-type limiter (8) is mounted; the front rod is mounted on the front axis. The control rod (1) and the front rod (9) are connected together with the help of a hinge (10). For controlling, the system has a handle (11) (2,4). It is possible to mount seats on the control rod. When moving with the help of the device, the user puts his legs on leg supports on the front axis (1), pulls the handle (11) backwards, and the rear axis (3) with wheels (4) moves forward. The limiter (5), which is connected to the front axis (1), rests against the surface and makes the device slow if it moves along the horizontal surface or upwards. When the rear wheels stop, the user changes body position, and the limiter (6) which is connected to the rear axis (3) turns and rests against the surface. The front wheels (2) are then released and move forward, providing a step-like motion. After continuous descent, the bar-type limiter (8) provides slowing and additional safety. It is possible to install skis or special floats instead of wheels, to simulate gliding on snow or water.<IMAGE></p> |
