ABSTRACT:
A cable car or the like, operable by either muscular or electric power -- e.g. by a stationary motor -- is provided with a railway having a runway whose side walls serve to guide the car during travel along the runway, as well as with an abutment for abruptly ending said travel at the edge of a pool (automatic cut-off means being actuated just prior thereto), while a diver who has derived momentum from belly-down riding on top of the car is consequently propelled outwardly over the pool along whatever trajectory may have been pre-calculated. Although applicable to living divers at recreational pools, the invention is primarily useful for an unlimited range of diver tests via use of midget-size facsimilies of human divers, e.g. dolls readily available at store toy counters and having swivel joints internally frictionized so as to maintain the limbs and heads in any postures initially selected as well as to keep them there until subsequently changed, and wherein the arms can readily be rigidly maintained in straight-ahead or downwardly-dangling postures, as desired, by use of rigid splints. Desired body weight and/or density also can readily be achieved by appropriately dimensioned waistbands of thin sheet lead, plus desired locating of the center of gravity in the process.
