  • Patent number: 10366625
    Abstract: A kinesthetic device that simulates flight includes a base unit and a swing unit. The base unit includes a base seat; whereas, the swing unit includes a swing seat, two swing support structures pivoted between the base seat and the swing seat, and a swing actuator used to control the swing positions of the two swing support structures. The two swing support structures are equal in length and parallel to each other. A fixed baseline is formed between two junction points between the two swing support structures and the base seat, a swing baseline is formed between two junction points between the two swing support structures and the swing seat, and the fixed baseline and the swing baseline are equal in length. The two swing support structures, the fixed baseline and the swing baseline form a parallelogram, allowing the swing support structures to swing stably the base seat.

  • Patent number: 7967688
    Abstract: A motion simulator has a motive device suspended in midair and having a base, a moving panel, twelve universal joints mounted on the base and the moving panel and six actuators connected to the universal joints and being retractable. A seat assembly is hung on the moving panel. Therefore, as the actuators retract, the seat assembly is moved in six degrees of freedom such as heave, sway, surge, pitch, roll and yaw. Audiences sitting on the seat assembly are hung with their feet hanging in the air and therefore feel excited and experience vivid virtual reality. Moreover, the actuators bear axial force such as drag force and thrust force and are endurable and safety.
