ABSTRACT:
A riding capsule device includes a capsule member, a base, and control mechanism. The capsule member has a bottom configuration in the form of a convex spherical segment. The base has a lower portion with a top configuration in the form of a concave spherical segment engaged by said bottom configuration of the capsule member and having a radius of curvature which is larger than the radius of curvature of the bottom configuration of the capsule member. The base further has an upper portion with an internal concavely arcuate surface that forms a smooth continuation of and overlies the concave spherical segment of the bottom portion of the base. The control mechanism includes a circular, tubular control member that is inflatable and deflatable and which when inflated is doughnut shaped, and which is attached to the concavely arcuate surface of the upper base portion, and which, when inflated engages and immobilizes the capsule member, and which, when deflated, goes limp and disengages the capsule member.
