Abstract
A bucking horse simulator apparatus includes a frame that has a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a front end. A hitch connector is attached to the front end. An axle is attached to the frame and a pair of support wheels is attached to opposite ends of the axle. A post is attached to and extends upwardly from the frame. A beam is pivotally coupled to an upper end of the post. A cover is positioned on the beam. A drive wheel is rotatably mounted to the frame. A leg is attached to the drive wheel and to the beam to lift and lower the beam when the drive wheel is rotated. The hitch connector is coupled to a vehicle to pull the frame and rotate the drive wheel to simulate bucking horse to a person seated on the cover.
Claims7
A bucking horse simulation apparatus comprising:
- a frame having a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and a front end, a hitch connector being attached to and extending away from said front end;
- an axle being attached to said frame, a pair of support wheels being attached to opposite ends of said axle, each of said first and second lateral sides having one of said support wheels positioned adjacent thereto;
- a post being attached to and extending upwardly from said frame, said post being spaced from each of said first and second lateral sides, said post having an upper end;
- a beam having a first end and a second end, said upper end of said post being pivotally coupled to said beam between said first and second ends;
- a cover being positioned on said beam, said cover including a central wall being mounted on and extending along an upper surface of said beam and a pair of side walls each being attached to and extending downward from said central wall;
- a drive wheel being rotatably mounted to said frame;
- a leg being attached to said drive wheel;
- an arm being attached to said beam between said first end and said post, said arm being attached to said leg at a point spaced from an axis of rotation of said drive wheel such that rotation of said drive wheel alternatively pulls and pushes said arm toward said beam to cause lifting and lowering of said first end of said beam;
- and
- wherein said hitch connector is coupled to a vehicle to pull said frame and rotate said drive wheel.

- a beam having a first end and a second end, said upper end of said post being pivotally coupled to said beam between said first and second ends;
- a cover being positioned on said beam, said cover including a central wall being mounted on and extending along an upper surface of said beam and a pair of side walls each being attached to and extending downward from said central wall, said side walls each having an outer convex surface;
- a drive wheel being rotatably mounted to said frame;
- a leg being attached to said drive wheel;
- an arm being attached to said beam between said first end and said post, said arm being attached to said leg at a point spaced from an axis of rotation of said drive wheel such that rotation of said drive wheel alternatively pulls and pushes said arm toward said beam to cause lifting and lowering of said first end of said beam;
- a wedge member being attached to and extending upwardly from said central wall, a grip being attached to said wedge member;
- a pad being mounted on said cover to provide comfort for a person riding on said cover;
- a plurality of springs being attached to and extending between said beam and said post to bias said beam toward a horizontal orientation;
- and
- wherein said hitch connector is coupled to a vehicle to pull said frame and rotate said drive wheel.
