Abstract

The walking float is for use on the water and is used with ski sticks. It comprises a solid body of suitable material, the underside being provided with a hollow compartmented keel on each longitudinal side. These are weighted with water to prevent lateral movement. The foot is in a well on top, fixed to a hinged plate. Between the keels are flaps, these being in two parts. They are hinged together and also pivot between the keels. For a forwards movement, the flaps drop down and provide reactive thrust. On the rearwards movement, they fold together and offer no resistance.
