Abstract
The present invention provides a bouncing apparatus adjustable between a pogo stick configuration and a stilt configuration. The bouncing apparatus has a first frame member and a second frame member removably coupled to the first frame member. Both the first frame member and the second frame member include a body, a piston moveable with respect to the body, and a first biasing member extending between the piston and the body.
Claims19
A bouncing apparatus comprising:
- a first frame member having:
- a first body,
- a first piston moveable with respect to the first body,
- a first biasing member extending between and in mechanical communication with the first piston and the first body, and
- a first foot support coupled to the first body;
- and
- a second frame member removably coupled to the first frame member, the second frame member having:
- a second body,
- a second piston moveable with respect to the second body,
- a second biasing member extending between and in mechanical communication with the second piston and the second body, and
- a second foot support coupled to the second body.
