  • Patent number: 5607376
    Abstract: A treadmill or walker apparatus includes a mounting base, a pair of front rollers mounted fixedly on rotatable left and right front shafts which coaxially extend from a left front side to a right front side of the mounting base, a pair of rear rollers mounted rotatably on at least one rear shaft which extends from a left rear side to a right rear side of the mounting base, endless left and right foot belts engaging respectively one of the front rollers and one of the rear rollers, and a support unit disposed between the front and rear rollers to provide a supporting surface for the foot belts. The foot belts move independently and are to be treaded individually by the feet of the user, thereby preventing the action of the user's left foot from influencing the action of his right foot and vice-versa when the apparatus is in use. The apparatus may be used with a functional supporting frame that is in the form of a baby chair, a baby stroller, an exercise walker or any other suitable form.

  • Patent number: 5538489
    Abstract: A walker apparatus includes a base, a pair of front roller mounted rotatably on a first shaft which extends from a front left side to a front right side of the base, a pair of rear rollers mounted rotatably on a second shaft which extends from a left side to a rear right side of the base, endless left and right foot belts engaging respectively one of the front rollers and one of the rear rollers, and a support unit disposed between the front and rear rollers to provide a supporting surface for the foot belts. The foot belts move independently and are to be treaded respectively by the left and right feet of the user, thereby preventing the action of the user's left foot from influencing the action of his right foot and vice-versa when the walker apparatus is in use. The walker apparatus may be used with a functional supporting frame that is in the form of a baby chair, a baby stroller, an exercise walker or any other suitable form.

  • Patent number: 5411279
    Abstract: A multiple-belt conveying apparatus includes at least one endless inner belt movably wound on at least one substrate plate secured to a base having two arcuate end portions disposed on a front end portion and a rear end portion of the substrate plate for movably winding the endless inner belt on the two arcuate end portions of the substrate plate, having an inner slipping surface and an outer frictional surface; and an endless outer belt movably wound on a front roller and a rear roller fixed on a base, the outer belt movably overlapping the inner belt (or belts) with an inner surface of the outer belt frictionally contacting the outer frictional surface of the inner belt, and the inner belt having its inner slipping surface slidably contacting an upper slipping surface formed on an upper surface of the substrate plate, thereby providing a belt conveying apparatus having a flat top surface for comfortable and minimum stress loading, riding or walking on the outer belt and also for a smooth movement of the bel

  • Patent number: 4335536
    Abstract: An inflatable throwing toy made of air impervious sheet material comprises an inflatable ring having an inflating valve located thereon the ring being comprised of a bottom and a top section joined at their outer and inner peripheries, and two or more disc sections with at least a first disc section of which being attached to the top section of the inflatable ring and a second disc section being attached to the first disc section of the inflatable ring forming an inflatable enclosure with the first disc section with an inflating valve located on a part of the inflatable enclosure. The inflatable throwing toy may have a cylindrical gusset made of air impervious sheet material joining the top section and the bottom section of the inflatable ring at the inner surfaces thereof and there being a third disc section extending from the bottom section of the inflatable ring. When the third disc section is used, the second disc section is an extension of the top section of the inflatable ring.

  • Patent number: 4291487
    Abstract: An inflatable article having a thin outer wall formed from a flexible, gas impervious, resilient material forming a closed surface. At least one hollow protrusion provided with a sealed end and an open end is associated with the wall, and at least one movable internal object is contained within the closed surface. A non-elastic connection member is attached on one side to the sealed end of the hollow protrusion and attached on the other side to the internal movable object. The article further includes an external control member connected to the sealed end of the hollow protrusion for imparting and controlling movement to the internal object through the connection member and extending from the protrusion externally of the closed surface so that the movable internal object will be moved when the user pulls the external control with the article in a restrained condition.
