Recreational device having rings

A rider propelled recreational device comprising:

• a central support associated at its proximal end with a horizontal plane of reference and having mounted at its distal end a bearing device, said central support having its longitudinal axis positioned perpendicularly to said horizontal plane of reference, and said bearing device being fixedly attached to said distal end of said central support with the longitudinal axis of said bearing device inclined relative to said horizontal plane of reference and intersecting the longitudinal axis of said central support to define an acute angle therebetween;
• at least one radially outwardly extending first cross member mounted at its proximal end to said bearing device for rotation about the longitudinal axis of said bearing device, said first cross member being rotatable about said longitudinal axis of said bearing device to describe a circle defining a second plane which second plane is positioned in non-parallel relationship with said horizontal plane of reference;
• and
• a plurality of rings suspended for omnidirectional and translational movement, from the distal end of said first cross member, each of said rings being attached to the distal end of a respective one of at least two flexible supporting members, said supporting members being operatively connected at their respective proximal ends to a second cross member positioned substantially perpendicularly to the distal end portion of said first cross member.

• at least one radially outwardly extending first cross member mounted at its proximal end to said bearing device for rotation about the longitudinal axis of said bearing device, said first cross member being rotatable about said longitudinal axis of said bearing device to describe a circle defining a second plane which second plane is positioned in non-parallel relationship with said horizontal plane of reference;

• a plurality of rings suspended for omnidirectional and for translational movement, from the distal end of said first cross member, each of said rings being attached to the distal end of a respective one of at least two flexible supporting members, said supporting members being operatively connected at their respective proximal ends to a second cross member positioned substantially perpendicularly to the distal end portion of said first cross member.

• at least one radially outwardly extending cross member mounted at its proximal end to said bearing device for rotation about the longitudinal axis of said bearing device;
• and
• a plurality of rings, each ring being suspended from the distal end of said cross member and used to propel said recreational device, said bearing device being positioned with its longitudinal axis at an oblique angle relative to said horizontal plane of reference and said cross member being rotatably movable about said longitudinal axis of said bearing device to describe a circle which circle defines a second plane which second plane is positioned in nonparallel relationship with said horizontal plane of reference.
