ABSTRACT:
A walking device employs a linkage mechanism to drive a vehicle on skis supporting it. The linkage mechanism, of which Peaucellier's mechanism is a special case, is caused to raise the skis when a motor drives linkages to raise one of its pivot axes. During that portion of the cycle in which a given ski supports the vehicle, a locking mechanism locks its movable axis against movement, and the weight of the vehicle is thereby not transmitted to the motor.
