ABSTRACT:
A novel motion simulation device adaptable as a training, amusement or playground device is provided which comprises a support structure pivotally attached at one end to an overhead suspension, and supporting, near the other end, a passenger carrying body; a resiliently extensible tether connected at one end to the support structure near the passenger carrying body, and at the other end to a substantially fixed point below the point of suspension, to limit and define the pattern of swinging motion of the structure; a spring operatively interconnecting the support structure and suspension to provide simulated bobbing motion for the device; and braking structure, utilizing the tether, for stopping the device. Certain optional embellishments may be included to limit motion of the device to selected degrees of freedom.
