ABSTRACT:
A system for simulating human gait embodied as a human-like model, for example, a mannequin, a scarecrow and the like depending on the intended application of the system, driven by a driving system along a pair of tracks. The driving system includes rotatable terminals for reversing the direction of advancement of the model. The model has legs which are pivotally connected to one another in a spaced alignment at a waist enabling a scissor-like action during the step-by-step advancement of the model along the tracks. The waist includes a balancing mechanism for maintaining a substantially even keel of the model during the gait-like motion. Furthermore, the legs include an upper segment pivotally connected at a knee-like joint to a lower segment such the legs have a tendency for a flexion movement and urging mechanisms for straightening them. Still further, the legs terminate in feet pivotally connected thereto which are provided with front and rear shock absorbers for smoothing the gait-like motion.
