- The present invention relates to a rodeo or riding device, and more particularly to a rodeo or riding device including a rider support or saddle supported on a carrier which is movable relative to a base by a drive mechanism or device in an elliptical and reciprocating action for allowing the rider support also to be moved relative to the by in the elliptical and reciprocating action.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Typical riding devices or rodeo training devices comprise a rider support for supporting the users thereon, and a drive mechanism having a crank arm coupled to the rider support to drive the rider support and to simulate the bucking and/or spinning motions of a rodeo animal attempting to unseat its rider.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,979 to Turner discloses one of the typical rodeo training devices also comprising a drive mechanism coupled to the rider support with a crank arm for training cowboys to ride rodeo animals such as bulls and wild horses.
- Normally, the drive mechanism is coupled to the rider support with the crank arm for actuating or moving or rotating the rider support. In addition, the drive mechanism is solidly coupled to the rider support with the crank arm, such that the rider support may not be moved relative to the crank arm and the drive mechanism in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the crank arm and the drive mechanism in different moving stroke.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,425 to Collins et al. discloses a typical workout horse comprising a body portion having a support column extended downwardly therefrom, and an upper frame attached to the support column, and a drive mechanism coupled between the upper frame and a stationary base frame for actuating or moving the support column and the body portion relative to the stationary base frame.
- However, the support column and the body portion may not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in an elliptical and reciprocating action. In addition, the drive mechanism is also solidly coupled between the upper frame and the stationary base frame such that the support column and the body portion also may not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in different moving stroke.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,402,626 to Beaty discloses a typical bucking machine also comprising a drive mechanism coupled to the rider support with one or more crank arms and/or links and/or spin wheels and/or spin shafts, and a rotating frame for supporting the rider support for allowing the rider support to be driven to simulate the bucking and/or spinning motions of a rodeo animal attempting to unseat its rider.
- However, the rotating frame may only be rotated relative to the stationary base frame but not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the stationary base frame in different moving stroke.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,866,594 to Greenwood discloses a typical polo training apparatus comprising a body portion having a lower frame portion, and a drive mechanism coupled between the lower frame portion of the body portion and a fixed frame for driving the lower frame portion of the body portion to simulate the polo training operation.
- However, the fixed frame and the lower frame portion of the body portion may not be moved relative to the supporting ground or plane in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in different moving stroke.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,964,614 to Tsai discloses a typical riding device also comprising a seat plate coupled to a front spindle and a rear spindle of a drive mechanism with cranks and swing arms respectively, for driving the seat plate to simulate the bucking and/or spinning motions of a rodeo animal attempting to unseat its rider.
- However, the seat plate is also solidly coupled to the drive mechanism with the cranks and the swing arms, such that the seat plate may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in an elliptical and reciprocating action and also may not be moved relative to the cranks and the swing arms of the drive mechanism in different moving stroke.
- The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional bucking or riding or rodeo training devices.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a rodeo or riding device including a rider support or saddle supported on a carrier which is movable relative to a base by a drive mechanism or device in an elliptical and reciprocating action for allowing the rider support also to be moved relative to the base in the elliptical and reciprocating action.

A pulley orroller 15 is attached to the free end portion of each of thecranks 13. - A motor driving means or
device 20 is disposed on thebase 10 and is provided for coupling to thecranks 13 in order to rotate thecranks 13 relative to thebase 10 in the cyclic and reciprocating action, and includes a wheel orpulley 21 rotatably attached to thebase 10, such as rotatably attached to thestud 12 of thebase 10 with ashaft 22, and includes amotor 23 disposed on thebase 10 and having aspindle 24 coupled to thepulley 21 with acoupling device 25, such as acoupling belt 25, a gearing mechanism (not shown), a sprocket-and-chain mechanism (not shown) or the like for rotating or driving thepulley 21 relative to thebase 10 or thestud 12, and includes a weight member orfly wheel 26 also rotatably attached to thebase 10, such as rotatably attached to thestud 12 of thebase 10 with theaxle 14 for allowing theaxle 14 and thecranks 13 and thefly wheel 26 to be rotated in concert with each other. - The weight member or
fly wheel 26 is coupled to thepulley 21, such as coupled to theshaft 22 of thepulley 21 with another coupling device 27 (FIG. 3 ), such as acoupling belt 27, a gearing mechanism (not shown), a sprocket-and-chain mechanism (not shown) or the like for allowing thepulley 21 to be indirectly coupled to themotor 23 with thepulley 21 and for allowing thepulley 21 and thus thecranks 13 to be driven or rotated relative to thebase 10 or thestud 12 by themotor 23. The coupling thefly wheel 26 to thepulley 21 may thus be formed or acted as a speed reduction mechanism. Alternatively, thefly wheel 26 or thecranks 13 may also be directly coupled to themotor 23 with another coupling device (not shown) without thefly wheel 26 and thepulley 21. - A
carrier 30 is to be supported on thebase 10 and is to be moved relative to the base 10 in an elliptical and reciprocating action, and includes one or more (such as two) levers 31, 32 having one end or a front portion coupled together with afront barrel 33 which is pivotally coupled to thebase 10, such as pivotally coupled to the one end or the front portion or thefront column 11 of the base 10 with apivotal link 16 and apivot pin 17 which is downwardly dependent on or from thefront column 11 of thebase 10 for allowing the one end or the front portion or thefront barrel 33 of thecarrier 30 to be pivoted or rotated relative to thefront column 11 of thebase 10 and to be moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base 10 in a reciprocating action, best shown inFIGS. 5-7 . It is preferable that thecarrier 30 includes abar 34 coupled between the middle portion of thelevers carrier 30. - The
carrier 30 includes a curved segment ormember 35 formed or provided on the rear end or therear portion 36 of each of thelevers rollers 15 of thecranks 13 respectively, and thecurved members 35 include a suitable curvature for slidably or movably engaging onto therollers 15 of thecranks 13 and for allowing thecurved members 35 to be forced and guided to move forwardly and rearwardly and upwardly and downwardly or cyclically relative to thebase 10 by or with thecranks 13 and the motor 23 (FIGS. 5-7 ). It is to be noted that thecurved members 35 each include an upwardly curved curvature having a topdead center portion 37 and a relativelylower portion 38 for allowing therollers 15 of thecranks 13 to have a tendency to be moved toward and retained on the topdead center portion 37 of thecurved members 35. - The length of the
levers curved members 35 from being disengaged from therollers 15 of thecranks 13 when thecarrier 30 is moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base 10 in the reciprocating action (FIGS. 5-7 ). It is preferable that thecarrier 30 further includes a positioning or stopmember 39 attached or secured to the front and/or the rear portion of either or both of thecurved members 35 for engaging with therollers 15 of thecranks 13 and for limiting the movement of thelevers carrier 30 relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 and for preventing thelevers carrier 30 from being disengaged from therollers 15 of thecranks 13. - It is preferable that a retaining

In operation, as shown inFIGS. 5-7 , thelevers carrier 30 may thus be moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base 10 in the reciprocating action by or with thecranks 13 and themotor 23 and may be prevented from being disengaged from therollers 15 of thecranks 13 inadvertently. - It is to be noted that the
curved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 are not solidly or pivotally coupled to thecranks 13 such that thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 may be moved relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13, and such that the moving strokes of thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 may be different or changed when thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 are moved in different speeds relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13, as also best shown inFIGS. 5-7 . Thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 may also be caused to selectively move relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 by the users themselves and by the moment of inertia when the users are stepped onto thecarrier 30. - The
carrier 30 is provided for supporting arider support 50 thereon in order to support a user on therider support 50, and includes ahousing 41 disposed on thecarrier 30, such as attached to or disposed on thebar 34 of thecarrier 30, and thehousing 41 includes achamber 42 formed therein and preferably having a non-circular cross section (FIGS. 4 , 8). For example, therider support 50 includes apost 51 slidably engaged into thechamber 42 of the housing 41 (FIG. 9 ) and preferably having a non-circular cross section (FIGS. 8 , 10) corresponding to that of thechamber 42 of thehousing 41 for allowing thepost 51 to be guided to slide or move longitudinally along thehousing 41 or to move up and down relative to thehousing 41 and thecarrier 30 and for preventing thepost 51 from being rotated relative to thehousing 41 and thecarrier 30. - The
post 51 of therider support 50 is provided for supporting a seat cushion or saddle 52 thereon (FIGS. 1 , 3) for supporting a user thereon, and includes a tube 53 (FIGS. 8 , 9), such as a threadedtube 53 engaged in thepost 51 and secured to thepost 51 with such as fasteners 54 (FIG. 9 ).

rider support 50 includes abeam 57 disposed on top of the post 51 (FIGS. 5-11 ) and preferably disposed parallel to thecarrier 30 and/or thebase 10, and includes ahub 58 disposed on thebeam 57, such as disposed on the middle portion of thebeam 57, and includes twocasings 59 also disposed on thebeam 57, such as disposed on the side portions of thebeam 57 and located beside thehub 58 or on the two side portions of thehub 58. Therider support 50 further includes a seat orframe 60 rotatably or pivotally coupled to thehub 58 of thebeam 57 with such as a pivot rod 61 (FIGS. 9 , 11) for allowing theframe 60 of therider support 50 to be rotated or pivoted or tilted or inclined relative to thebeam 57 and the post 51 (FIG. 11 ). The seat cushion or saddle 52 is disposed or supported on theframe 60. - Two
spring members 62 are engaged in thecasings 59 and engaged with theframe 60 or engaged between thebeam 57 and theframe 60 for cushioning theframe 60 and thus thesaddle 52, and twofasteners 63 may be slidably engaged through thecasings 59 of thebeam 57 and thespring members 62 and threaded or engaged with theframe 60, and thefasteners 63 each include anenlarged head 64 for engaging with thebeam 57 and for limiting the tilting or rotating movement of theframe 60 therider support 50 relative to thebeam 57 and thepost 51 or for preventing therider support 50 from being over rotated relative to thebeam 57 and thepost 51. Therider support 50 further includes anarm 65 attached or secured onto theframe 60, such as attached to the front and lower portion of theframe 60, and thearm 65 includes a number of orifices 66 formed therein (FIG. 10 ) for adjustably attaching or securing twostirrups 67 to theframe 60 and for engaging with the feet of the rider. - In operation, as shown in
FIGS. 5-7 , thelevers carrier 30 may be moved forwardly and rearwardly relative to the base 10 in the reciprocating action by the engagement of thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 with therollers 15 of thecranks 13, and the one end or front portion or thefront barrel 33 of thecarrier 30 is pivotally coupled to the base 10 with thepivotal link 16 and thepivot pin 17 such that thecarrier 30 may be caused to move relative to the base 10 in an elliptical and reciprocating action by thecranks 13 and themotor 23. Thecranks 13 and themotor 23 and/or thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 may thus be formed or acted as a moving means or device for moving thecarrier 30 relative to the base 10 in the elliptical and reciprocating action. The typical riding devices or rodeo training devices failed to provide and dispose asaddle 52 or arider support 50 on thecarrier 30 for supporting the user, and a motor driving means ordevice 20 for moving thecarrier 30 relative to the base 10 in an elliptical and reciprocating action. - The
carrier 30 may be moved relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 in different moving strokes relative to the base 10 because thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 are not solidly or pivotally coupled to thecranks 13 such that thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 may be moved relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13, and such that the moving strokes of thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 may be different or changed when thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 are moved in different speeds relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13. Thecurved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 may also be caused to selectively move relative to therollers 15 of thecranks 13 by the users themselves and by the moment of inertia when the users are stepped onto thecarrier 30. - The
rider support 50 and thus thesaddle 52 may be moved or adjusted up and down along thehousing 41 and relative to thecarrier 30 by themotor 55 according to the different heights of the users. Theframe 60 and thus thesaddle 52 may be suitably tilted or rotated relative to thebeam 57 and thepost 51 and cushioned by thespring members 62 for allowing the user to be comfortably supported on therider support 50. The one end or front portion of thelevers carrier 30 may also be slidably supported or coupled to the base 10 with such as rollers or wheels (not shown) instead of thepivotal link 16 and thepivot pin 17, thecarrier 30 may also be caused to move relative to the base 10 in the elliptical and reciprocating action by thecranks 13 and themotor 23. - It is to be noted that the engagement of the
curved members 35 of thelevers carrier 30 with therollers 15 of thecranks 13 may also be arranged or disposed on the front portion of thelevers carrier 30 in order to move therider support 50 and thecarrier 30 relative to the base 10 in the elliptical and reciprocating action, and the rear portion of thelevers carrier 30 may be pivotally coupled to the rear portion of the base 10 with thepivotal link 16 and thepivot pin 17 or slidably coupled to the base 10 with the rollers or wheels (not shown). - Accordingly, the riding device in accordance with the present invention includes a rider support movable relative to a drive mechanism or device for allowing the rider support to be selectively moved relative to the drive mechanism or device by the users themselves, and for allowing the rider support to be moved in different moving strokes relative to the drive mechanism or device by the drive mechanism or device and by the moment of inertia.
- Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
