Abstract: A foot exercising device includes a frame, an energy-transmitting mechanism, a first drum, a second drum, and a pair of pedals. The energy-transmitting mechanism is mounted on the frame. The first drum is interactively coupled with the energy-transmitting mechanism for transmitting rotational energy thereto, and the second drum is interactively coupled with the energy-transmitting mechanism for transmitting rotational energy thereto. Each pedal has an elongate slot to receive a rolling element therein. One end of the rolling element is rollingly and eccentrically connected with one end surface of the first drum for rotating the first drum. Each pedal is pivotably connected with the second drum by an elongate connecting rod, wherein each rolling element is received in each elongate slot to be capable of rolling along the elongate slot of each pedal.

Abstract: A laterally movable recreational device is disclosed. The device includes an enclosure having at least one opening for entry of an occupant and a support for suspending the enclosure above a floor or ground surface. The support and enclosure are constructed and connected to one another to facilitate movement of the enclosure in a predetermined path. There is a controlled fluid or resilient mounting of the enclosure relative to the support in the predetermined path in order to facilitate a controlled fluid or resilient movement of the enclosure relative to the support in the predetermined path when an occupant enters the enclosure. Preferably, the predetermined path in which movement of the enclosure relative to the support is facilitated is a lateral or horizontal path enabling controlled fluid or resilient movement of the enclosure relative to the support in such lateral or horizontal path.
