Excerpts from the Patent Application.

This invention relates to exercising and amusement means and more particularly to a spring mounted device adapted to be ridden and caused to progress along a floor or the ground in a series of leaps generally comparable to the leaping action of a galloping horse in that the device partakes of unsupported transit generally parallel to the surface of the ground or floor being traversed during a portion of each cycle of operation in said simulation of galloping.

The principal object of the invention is to provide an organized apparatus adapted to be straddled and ridden as a horse is ridden and including relatively movable front leg and rear leg components together with spring means in each of said components adapted to be compressed by the weight of a rider and to assist in the bouncing movements of the rider in operating the apparatus, whereby, during the portion of each cycle of operation, the apparatus is completely clear of the surface being traversed while moving generally parallel to such surface in unsupported transit.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the above character adapted to carry a cover means generally simulating the appearance of a horse or other animal to be ridden.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an organized exercise and amusement apparatus adapted to be ridden as a horse is ridden and including a rigid rear leg portion having either one or two foot portions and a single front leg portion having a single foot portion pivotally mounted for swinging movements in the vertical longitudinal plane of the apparatus and operable by the rider in causing the apparatus to progress along a floor, ground or other surface in the previously mentioned manner of a galloping horse.

With the foregoing objects in view, together with such additional objects and advantages as may subsequently appear, the invention resides in the parts, and in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts described, by way of example, in the following specification of certain presently preferred embodiments of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings which form a part of said specification and in which drawings:
