First Embodiment of the Invention First, a floating game machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. [About the levitation support 1 having buoyancy on water] The levitation support 1 is made of a lightweight material, and has a handrail 2 (connecting body).
And fixed floating bodies 3 attached to the handrail 2 on both sides in the left-right direction orthogonal to the traveling direction P (front-back direction).

[Movable levitation body 4 having buoyancy on the water] The movable levitation body 4 is formed of a lightweight material, and the power transmission portion 5 is disposed between the left and right fixed levitation bodies 3 below the handrail 2. The left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7 are provided. The left and right floating pedestrians 6 and 7 extend in the traveling direction P along the left and right fixed levitation bodies 3 and are connected to the left and right fixed levitation bodies 3 by strings 8 so as not to be separated. Concave foot rests 9 and 10 are formed in the front-rear center of the surfaces of the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7. A water scraping blade 11 (propulsion body) is rotatably supported in the center part in the front-rear direction on the back surfaces of the left and right floating pedestrians 6 and 7, and is in a standing state in which it is rotated forward and in a horizontal state in which it is rotated backward. And can be taken.

[Regarding use of the above-mentioned floating game machine] The user faces the front in the upstream side of the traveling direction P, puts his left foot on the left foot rest 9 on the left floating walker 6, and moves to the right floating walker 7 Place the right foot on the upper right foot rest 10 and stand with the handrail 2 as a support. Then, when the user performs a walking motion and independently reciprocates both the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7 along the traveling direction P, the force for kicking the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7 is the watering blade. It is converted as a water propulsion force by 11, etc., and the entire water game machine advances forward. In this case, when the levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 are kicked backward, the water scraping blades 11 that stop in the upright state become resistance to water and a water propulsion force is generated. On the contrary, when the levitating walking bodies 6 and 7 are moved forward, the water scraping blades 11 rotate to the horizontal state due to the resistance of water, so that it is not necessary to float the levitating walking bodies 6 and 7 on the water surface and only slide them. Good.

The first embodiment has the following characteristics (a) to (c). (B) Walking for health promotion can be enjoyed on the water for leisure as well. In addition, walking resistance on the water is higher than on land, so the amount of exercise increases, which is even better for health.

(B) Since the floating support 1 is provided in addition to the movable levitation body 4, the stability of the entire floating game machine is improved. Further, since the levitation support 1 has the handrail 2, the user can easily stand on both the left and right levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 of the movable levitation body 4.

(C) The left and right levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 can not only reciprocate independently in the traveling direction P (front-back direction), but also within a range where movement is not restricted by the string 8 (flexible rope). Also, it is possible to move in the left-right direction, etc., and the degree of freedom of the left and right levitating walking bodies 6, 7 increases. Therefore, since the user tries to stabilize both the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7, the amount of exercise increases, which is not only better for health, but also more interesting as a leisure article.

In addition to the first embodiment, the following (a) to
It may be configured as shown in (b). (A) Although not shown, instead of the water scraping blades 11 of the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7 in the first embodiment, a water scraping part (propulsion) having a predetermined shape (a rear upright surface and a front inclined surface) The left and right floating walking bodies 6, 7 are projected from the back surface of the body. In this case, when the levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 are kicked backward, the upright surface of the water scraping portion becomes resistance to water, and a water propulsion force is generated. On the contrary, when the levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 are moved forward, the inclined surface of the water scratching portion weakens the water resistance, and it is not necessary to float the levitation walking bodies 6 and 7 on the water surface, and it is sufficient to slide them.

(B) Although not shown, in the first embodiment, a guide body for restricting the movement of the left and right floating walking bodies 6 and 7 so as to reciprocate only in the traveling direction P is provided on the floating support body 1. Set up.
