Snowboard travel simulator for learning snowboarding

摘要

The simulator has a support (2) below the sliding surface of the snowboard (1), that allows the board to move freely in relation to the floor (4) and presents a hemisphere whose surface section is flush against the snowboard. The support can alternatively be semi-cylindrical or ellipsoidal in section, once again with its surface section flush with the board above. If a block support is used, this has an inbuilt tumbler to connect at its top end with the snowboard. The support bay be elastic, or fixed to the board, or be rotatably secured to the board by a rapid fastener e.g. by screw, notching or slide fastener. An electrically, hydraulically etc. driven motor may set the support and/or snowboard in movement, the support being 35 cm wide and suitable for all current boards. When using the block, the tumbler consists of an elastic bearer passed through an opening in the block and fitted above with an intermediate bearer supporting the snowboard. The support may be an elastomer cylinder or spring.
