MUSCULAR-SPRING-INERTIA SERIES-SUPPORT METHOD OF MOVEMENT AND TRAINING Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC B62M29/00 F03G1/10 F03G5/08 A63B21/00 A63B23/00 

FIELD: transport engineering; muscular machine systems accumulating and delivering energy of resilient forces, including muscular forces, and inertia of movement for movement and training; cycles and sleighs.

SUBSTANCE: one part of user's body is placed on one of inertia movement supports coupled by longitudinally springing connection operating in resilient deformations of extension and/or compression in longitudinal direction, and other part of user's body is placed on other support. Pulling and pushing movements of body make supports move in turn and in series so that traction, friction, resilient deformation and conventionally inertia forces converted one into the other are conveyed to the supports. Opposite resilient deformation forces and their inertia vibratory effects and resilience of user's body providing continuation of movement when spring between supports go out of operation are also used. There is no necessity to push away from the ground, or floor. Invalids can get active and passive training and can move inside rooms, negotiate stairways and move over the ground the same as rider users.

EFFECT: increased speed, riding comfort; no adverse effect on environment. 6 cl, 2 dwg
