Description
- The present invention claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application, Ser. No. 60/175799, filed Jan. 12, 2000.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a recreational exercise apparatus, and more particularly to an adjustable jumping apparatus that the user rides while bounding about in the fashion of a pogo stick.
- 2. Discussion of Related Art
- The pogo stick is widely known and still in common use by children. There is something inherently but indescribably pleasurable in bouncing about while essentially standing on a stick. However, the pogo stick has never been well adapted for use by adults; the internally housed coil springs providing resiliency in the device tend to be stiff, slow to recoil, and ill-suited for heavier loads. Further, aside from the most ambitious child after a Guinness World Book of Records mark, even children tend to suffer a certain degree of boredom after using the pogo stick only a short time. This may be attributable to the effort required to produce a thrilling bounce, if any can be produced at all. Even so, the pogo stick remains an appealing toy.
- Furthermore, the pogo stick is, at least potentially, a useful exercise device. Again, however, due to the mechanical and structural limitations of existing pogo-stick-type devices, they are not well-suited for exercise. They tend to impart a significant impact to joints and therefore expose the user to possible joint stress injury, and, as is well known, for long term health benefits and injury avoidance, low impact aerobic exercise is generally preferred by health experts. Moreover, conventional pogo sticks are not adjustable and are therefore useful to only a limited range of user sizes and weights. Finally, they are noisy.
- While alternative designs have been proposed to overcome the foregoing disadvantages, such improvements generally entail the inclusion of expensive equipment or involve expensive manufacturing processes. What is needed, therefore, is a jumping device that is suitable for use by adults and children of all sizes and weights, that is adjustable, that provides the rider with a thrilling, bouncing ride, that minimizes the danger of joint stress and overuse injury, and that is inexpensive to manufacture.
- The bungee pole of the present invention is an adjustable jumping apparatus suitable for use by riders of a wide range of sizes and weights. The inventive apparatus comprises an elongate, substantially hollow housing with reinforced foot pegs attached to its sides. The housing may be cylindrical in shape or any of a number of other polygonal shapes that define a hollow interior. A pole extends downwardly from the housing and has a base for engagement with the ground during use. The pole slides into the housing through a sleeve integral with the lower end of the housing, which sleeve provides support to the pole and ensures that it moves in a generally straight line along the concentric longitudinal axes of the housing and the pole.
- At the upper end of the pole is an integral disc having a plurality of loops fastened to its inferior surface. At least one bungee cord, and preferably a plurality, are connected at their upper ends to the loops and are interposed between the inferior surface of the disc and the interior surface of the lower end of the housing. The bungee cords are connected at their lower ends to a plurality of loops, which are, in turn, fastened to the interior surface of the lower end of the housing. The bungee cords have hooks at each end for removable connection to said loops. The bungee cords are easily removed or installed to tailor the device to the anticipated user. The loops may be removable or integral.
- A set of handlebars having hand grips is connected to the upper end of the housing and preferably includes a shock absorber located at its neck. The upper end of housing is preferably removable so that the user can selectively remove or install bungee cords to suit his or her liking.
- FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of the bungee pole jumping apparatus of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is side elevation cross sectional view of the bungee pole showing the device in its fully extended configuration; and
- FIG. 3 is a side elevation cross sectional view showing the bungee pole in its compressed configuration.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the bungee
pole jumping apparatus 10 of the present invention, showing that the apparatus comprises an elongate, substantiallyhollow housing 12 having at least onevertical side surface 14 and anupper end 16, and alower end 18. Thehousing 12 has reinforcedfoot pegs 14 attached to the at least onevertical side 14 on the lower portion of thehousing 12. Thefoot pegs 20 are capable of supporting the weight of most reasonably anticipated users and preferably includeside structure 22 to prevent the user's foot from slipping from the foot pegs when in use. The housing is preferably cylindrical in shape, but many polygonal shapes defining a hollow interior would be equally suitable as no functional limitations reside in the geometry of the housing other than its generally elongate shape. - FIGS.1-3 show that the device further includes a
pole 24 extending downwardly from the housing and having abase 26. The pole may be of any of a number of generally symmetrical shapes, but is preferably cylindrical. Thepole 24 slidingly inserts into the housing through asleeve 28 integral with thelower end 18 of said housing and defining an opening 28 a, which may be of any shape to match the pole, but which is preferably cylindrical. Sleeve 28 provides structural support to thepole 24 and helps ensure that when used the pole moves smoothly up and down and in a substantially straight line along the longitudinal axis L of thehousing 12. Longitudinal axis L of thehousing 12 is concentric with the longitudinal axis of thepole 24.Sleeve 28 may be disposed upwardly into the interior of the housing or, alternatively, downwardly from the exterior surface of the lower end of the housing, or, again alternatively, it may be a combination of the two. - At the
upper end 28 of thepole 24 is anintegral disc 30 having a plurality ofloops 32 fastened to itsinferior surface 34.Disc 30 may be of any of a number of suitable shapes but is preferably generally planar. At least onebungee cord 36, and preferably a plurality, are connected at their upper ends 38 to theloops 32 and are interposed between the inferior surface ofdisc 30 and the interior surface 40 of thelower end 18 ofhousing 12. Thebungee cords 36 are connected at theirlower ends 42 to a plurality ofloops 44, which are, in turn, fastened to the interior surface 40 of thelower end 18 ofhousing 12. The bungee cords havehooks 41 at each end for connection to said loops. The loops may be removable or integral. - A set of
handlebars 46 havinghand grips 48 is connected to theupper end 16 ofhousing 12 and preferably includes shock absorbing structure 50 located at the neck of the handlebars, for example, a coil spring, that allows for limited movement of the handlebars in every direction, thereby providing shock absorption and improving control of the device. Theupper end 16 ofhousing 12 is preferably removable so that the user can selectively remove or install bungee cords to suit his or her liking. Additionally, bungee cords having varying degrees of elasticity and coefficients of restitution may be installed to adjust the liveliness of the device; that is, to increase or reduce the rebound action of the device. Bungee cords may also be double looped for even more added rebounding potential. As the user increases his or her skill and courage, bungee cords may be added to provide truly remarkable vertical rebound. - The bungee pole has an extended configuration, shown in FIG. 2, and a compressed configuration, shown in FIG. 3. Until weight is applied downwardly on the
foot pegs 20, the device remains in the extended configuration. When a user stands on the device and initiates a bounding motion, the bungee pole extends and invests the bungee cords with the potential energy to propel the user high into the air upon rebound. At all times during use, however, the user is suspended by the elastic bungee cord; that is, he or she is quite literally hanging by the cords. - The present invention is suited for simple recreation and for exercise as well. Though it is an extremely lively device, it has a soft springing action that is easy on the joints while providing a good aerobic workout. As an exercise device, it is intended primarily for adult use. However, it is equally well suited for use as a recreational device or toy by young adults and children. When so used, adult supervision or training is recommended to ensure that the bungee cords are not configured to make the device too lively for the user to control.
- While this invention has been described in connection with preferred embodiments thereof, it is obvious that modifications and changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art to which it pertains without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of this invention is to be limited only by the appended claims.
