Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed toward an amusement device that allows a person to bounce using a ball and more particularly, toward a device that allows a person to bounce freely in a controlled manner without undue restraint.
- Children of all ages enjoy the weightless feel of bouncing. For example, pogo sticks, trampolines, and moon bouncers, all amuse children of various ages because the child is able to bounce in the air, seemingly without restraint. A traditional pogo stick, however, is somewhat rigid and does not provide a very elastic movement. Moon bouncers are a favorite among younger children however they are rather large so that individuals tend not to own them. They are more often rented or found at fairs, amusement parks, or the like. While trampolines are often owned by individuals, they are rather large and are not easily portable.
- Various types of smaller, very elastic amusement devices are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,716,229 to Van Der Cleyen et al. discloses a jump ball that includes a disk-shaped foot support that extends around an inflatable ball so as to give the ball a substantially figure eight shape. A person stands on the foot support and pushes his or her ankles against the ball to retain it in place and then jumps up and down like a pogo stick. But unlike a pogo stick, this invention does not have a handle so that a person must balance on the ball unaided. This makes it somewhat difficult to use and can create a potentially dangerous situation.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,893,809 to Blankenzee also discloses a jump ball that includes an inflatable, flexible ball with a rigid plate that surrounds the ball. A person stands on the plate in order to jump up and down. Again, however, this action may be dangerous because of the limited control as the person has nothing to hold on to as he or she is jumping. The apparatus is also difficult to use for many people.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,179,409 to Marino discloses an elastic amusement device that includes a ball with a frame partially surrounding the ball with a rigid handle extending upwardly from the frame. A person stands on the frame, holds the handle, and bounces. However, the ball is essentially encased by the frame thereby limiting the expansion and movement of the ball so that the ball cannot move as freely when a person is bouncing thereon. The rigid handle also makes the devices somewhat uncomfortable to use as it does not absorb the shock from the bouncing ball but, rather, transfers it to the arms and upper body of the person using the same. The rigid handle itself can also potentially cause injury to the person using the device if he or she should fall on the same.
- A need exists, therefore, for a bouncing amusement toy or device that is comfortable to use and which allows the person to freely bounce in a controlled and safe manner.
- The present invention is designed to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art discussed above. It is an object of the present invention to provide an amusement device that allows a person to bounce using a ball.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an amusement device that is easier to use but also provides the excitement of bouncing on a ball.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide an amusement device that allows the user to bounce in a controlled manner and which increases the user's confidence and performance.
- In accordance with the illustrative embodiments demonstrating features and advantages of the present invention, there is provided an amusement device that includes an elastic ball, a rigid, generally rectangular platform surrounding the ball so as to give the ball a figure eight appearance, an elongated elastic handle extending upwardly from the ball, and means for releasably mounting the handle onto the ball. The mounting means includes a plurality of straps with at least one of the straps having a releasable buckle secured thereto. The straps are secured to the platform adjacent the ball. The handle includes an upper section, a lower section, and a pair of bars extending generally horizontally outwardly from the upper section of the handle. The bars are adapted to be grasped by a person while bouncing on the ball. The handle and the ball are made from an elastic rubber-like material.
- Other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the accompanying drawings one form that is presently preferred; it being understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a person using the amusement device of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the amusement device of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the amusement device of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the amusement device of the present invention; and -
FIG. 5 is a front elevational view shown partially in cross-sectional of the amusement device of the present invention. - Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like reference numerals have been used throughout the various figures to designate like elements, there is shown in
FIG. 2 an amusement device constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention and designated generally as 10. - The
amusement device 10 of the present invention generally includes anelastic ball 12, a rigid, generallyrectangular platform 14 surrounding theball 12 so as to give the ball 12 a substantially figure eight appearance, an elongated,elastic handle 16 extending upwardly from theball 12, and means for releasably mounting thehandle 16 on theball 12. Theball 12 is made from an elastic material such as rubber or a synthetic rubber or similar material. Theplatform 14, on the other hand, is preferably made of a rigid plastic material that is strong enough to support a person standing thereon and includes a central opening passing therethrough. Theball 12 is located in the central opening of theplatform 14 with the top half 12 a of theball 12 extending above theplatform 14 and thebottom half 12 b of theball 12 extending below theplatform 14. (SeeFIG. 5 .) - The mounting means for the
handle 16 includes a plurality ofstraps strap releasable buckle straps platform 14 and pass upwardly therethrough adjacent the central opening around theball 12. (SeeFIGS. 3 and 4 .) Eachstrap upper member lower member upper members straps rigid cap 50. Thecap 50 fits onto the top of theball 12 and is attached to thelower section 52 of thehandle 16 in such a way the handle is concentric with theball 12 and extends upwardly from the center of theamusement device 10. Thelower members straps platform 14 as explained above and are in line with the upper members. Eachfirst member second member releasable buckle straps ball 12. - The
handle 16 includes alower section 52, anupper section 54, and a pair ofbars upper section 54 of thehandle 16. (SeeFIG. 5 .) The length of thehandle 16 throughout thelower section 52 and theupper section 54 is normally flaccid and is made from an elastic material such as natural or synthetic rubber. Thebars hand grips ball 12. (SeeFIG. 1 .) - In order to use the
amusement device 10, aperson 64 stands on theplatform 14 with one foot on either side of theball 12, grasps thebars handle 16. (SeeFIG. 1 .) Theperson 64 may now bounce while trying to balance on theplatform 14. The elasticity of thehandle 16 provides an increased bouncing effect, helps the person to balance and absorbs shock that otherwise might be transferred from theplatform 14 to the person's upper body. The elasticity of the handle also provides constant tension thereby allowing the person's feet to stay securely on the platform while performing jumping maneuvers. - As pointed out above, the
platform 14 is preferably made from a rigid plastic material. However, order to provide traction or more stable footing for theperson 64 heplatform 14 may also have grid-like patterns FIG. 3 .) - The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing specification as indicating the scope of the invention.
