PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the described figure 1, and according to the number 20 adopted therein, it can be seen how the jumping device comprises an assembly formed by a pedal (1), articulated on a first end of a first connecting rod (2) and comprising a first hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (3) of actuation between them. It also comprises a second connecting rod (4), articulated at the second end of the first connecting rod (2), opposite the first end. The first connecting rod (2) is also connected to the second connecting rod (4) by a cylinder

upper (5), hydraulic or pneumatic. Later this connection will be explained in more detail.

The upper part of the second connecting rod (4) is fixed to a clamping harness (figure 5) for the user, which will generally carry a set as indicated above on each end, both fixed to the same harness. It is equally possible, but more difficult to handle, for the user to carry a single set, similar to the so-called "pogo sticks" in English.

The pedal (1) will comprise a trigger, button or trigger lever (not shown), hereinafter "release button" which may be similar to that described for the utility model ES1064910U mentioned above. However, it is preferred that it be an electric button. This release button (not shown) must be located in the user's support area, so that when the user steps on the ground the brake shoe is active and brakes.

Preferably, the user will fix his foot to the pedal (1) by tapes or by a calapies similar to those used in cycling. If necessary, tapes or straps will also be applied to the leg area, taking advantage of the proximity along the entire length of the leg (Figure 4).

Inside the second connecting rod (4), located higher than the first connecting rod (2), a guide (6) is provided. In that guide (6) a carriage (7) circulates that is fixed to one end of the upper cylinder (5). How has it

indicated, the other end of the upper cylinder (5) is fixed to the first rod (2). In the figure (2) the gma (6) has been represented as four parallel bars (8), so that the carriage (7) must embrace these bars (8).

5 In said figure 2 a section of the carriage (7) and the gma (6) are shown. It can be seen how the second connecting rod (4) has a rack (9), fixed thereto, on which an outer wheel (10) carried by the carriage engages. The outer wheel (10) has an external gear to engage with said rack (9) and an internal gear to engage with an internal wheel 10 (11), coaxial. This internal wheel (11) has at least one movable shoe (12), generally two, to engage or disengage the two wheels (10,11). Therefore, the two wheels (10.11) can rotate independently. The inner wheel (11) is actually fixed to the carriage (7) so that it cannot rotate, so that the shoes (12) perform the brake function of the outer wheel (10). On the other hand, the rotation of the outer wheel (10) on the rack (9) causes the carriage (7) to move on the gma (6). The button arranged on the pedal (1) causes the shoes to retract (12), allowing the upper cylinder (5) to be triggered, which has a launch spring inside. The retraction of the shoes (12) can be mechanical (by wiring) or electric (electromagnets or other type of actuator).

With this arrangement of the different elements of the set, when a person decides to use the jumping device of the invention, in its single or double version (one or two sets), the upper part of the second connecting rod must be adjusted on its hips (4 ) and fix your feet to the respective pedal (1). Figure 5 shows part of a belt (13), in which the fixing straps have been removed to better appreciate the belt. In

Each edge of the strip (13) represented will be articulated.

Initially the position of the connecting rods (2, 4) does not allow the accumulation of energy in the upper cylinder (5), but the flexion of the legs allows to load this. Pressing the firing button retracts the shoes (12), and it is allowed to release the energy contained in the upper cylinder (5) to produce the jump. Depending on whether a set or two is carried or, in this second case, both sets are activated in parallel or not, consecutive jumps, strides, etc. occur.

As can be seen in Figure 4, the connecting rods (2,4) are located near and parallel to the corresponding leg of the user, so that no element protrudes, and the behavior of the device is more natural and closer to that of the legs. For this, the length of the connecting rods (2,4) 15 will be similar to that of the corresponding leg section, and the articulation of the pedal (1) with respect to the first connecting rod (2) will be close to the ankle. Preferably the first rod (2) is of adjustable length (telescopic).

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to extend its explanation more so that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it, stating that , within its essentiality, it may be carried out in other ways of realization that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is required as long as it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
