Abstract
A training device for ice skaters includes a body enclosing rectilinear frame and pairs of front and rear supp.ort legs depending from the frame. Runners are provided at the lower extremities of the support legs and at least the runners on the rear support legs are rotatable. Springs operatively connect the rotatable runners and their associated support legs such that during the forward movement of the trailing device the rotatable runners are caused to rotate against the bias of their respective springs into an orientation parallel to the direction of movement and when the training device is stationary the rotatable runners are biased by the springs towards an orientation substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the training device.
Claims6
A training device for ice skaters comprising:
- a rectilinear horizontally disposed frame dimensioned to enclose a skater;
- a pair of front support legs and a pair of rear support legs extending downwardly from the corners of said frame;
- a runner secured to each of said support legs, the runners on at least said pair of rear support legs being rotatably mounted thereon so as to be rotatable through a predetermined arc;
- and spring means operatively connecting each of the rotatable runners with their associated support legs, whereby during forward movement of the training device said rotatable runners are caused to rotate against the bias of said spring means into an orientation parallel to the direction of movement and when the training device is at rest said rotatable runners are biased by said springs towards an orientation substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the training device.
