Abstract

The novelty of the invention consists in the method of storing in the bungy the energy due to gravity and the transformation of both the up 105 and-down motion of the suspended body into forward motion of same under a stretched cable. This provides an imitation of flight. Throughout the ages there appeared to be a yearning in humans to to imitate the flight of birds and many attempts were made to convert the up-and-down motion of arms into an imitation of flight. However, the weight-to 110 strength of human bodies is such that any flapping flying surfaces providing lift would have prohibitive sizes. Moving same would exceed human forces. The invention provides the separation of forces required to lift the body from those needed to move it forward. The lift is provided by the suspension from the cable and the propulsive forward force is provided through the 'motion converter' (top assembly) from the up-and down movements of the body suspended under a bungy. The invention described above may be used as a personal exercise machine, a vehicle for sporting competitions, as well as means for 120 improved personal visitations of nature reserves, national parks and unobtrusive and close observation of wild animals in their native surroundings. . . ........ 22.06.2011 Stanley Schaetzel

Description

1 AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT 2010100951 FLYOFLEX The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me: 2 FLYOFLEX - EXERCISTNG, COMPETITION AND OBSERVATION DEVICE DESCRIPTION The invention embodiment consists of two inter-connected assemblies, the top assembly being shown in Fig 1, the bottom assembly in Fig 2 and the dynamics of the complete system in fig 3. 10 The numbered parts are described as follows: 1 Main rolling wheel 2 Gravity drive wheel 3 Arms drive wheel 15 4 Yoke 5 Bungy top attachment 6 Common shaft 7 Bungy 8 Cradle-Bungy attachment 2o 9 Cradle assembly 10 Arms drive assembly 11 Gravity drive 12 Arms drive chord 13 Handles 25 14 Main cable (providing horizontal support during motion) 15 Cradle attachments 16 Arm pivot points 17 Cradle attachment points 18 Arms of the exercising person 30 19 Alternative yoke used when main cable has supports along the way. The top assembly (Fig 1) consists of a yoke (4) holding the main shaft (6) on which three wheels are mounted. The main wheel (1) rides on top of the main cable (14) and is periodically connected by ratchets to the 35 two side wheels (2) and (3). Wheel (2) is connected to the arms assembly (12) and wheel (3) to the cradle assembly cable (11). The bottonr assembly (Fig 2) consists of the cradle (9) supporting a person in d pone position, face down, and is connected to the bungy (7) 40 1by cradle attachments (15) which are fixed to the bungy attachment (8).
3 The gravity chord (11) is also attached to attachment (8). The arms of the person hold two handles (13) attached to chords (10) which are connected to the arms drive chord (12). 45 The dynamics of the system are shown, in schematic form, in Fig 3. The neutral position (Fig 3 a) occurs when the weight of the person is taken up by the bungy. When the person lowers the arms (18) and takes up some of the weight, the arms assembly (10) moves cables (12) down, (Fig 3 b) and wheel (3) transmit's a clock-wise rotation to the main wheel 50 (1), whilst wheel (2), spring loaded to the yoke, retracts the gravity chord (11) following the fact that the cradle (9) rises with respect to the top assembly due to energy stored in the bungy (7). When the person on the cradle raises the arms up (Fig 3 c), the cradle (9) falls and wheel (2) transmits again a clockwise rotation to the main wheel (1), whilst wheel (3), spring loaded to the yoke (4), retracts the assembly cable (12). This is the beginning of a harmonic motion, with gradually increasing amplitude until it settles into a steady state which depends of the weight and the strength of the person. The top assembly can thus be considered 60 as a 'motion converter'. An alternative yoke, used when the main cable is supported by pylons along its length, is shown in fig I b. The basic systems remain unchanged. 6 The details of the ratchets between the drive wheels and the main wheel as well as the details of the spring loading of the drive wheels to the yoke are not shown separately since many standard arrangements can be used. Safety features, such as a personal harness on the cradle, safety line in 70 case of bungy rupture, brakes and anti-collision front and back devices are not shown since they would be standard equipments based on sound engineering practice and would be included in manufactured products based on this invention.
