Rodeo or riding device

Abstract

A riding device includes one or more cranks rotatably attached to a base, and a rider support supported on a carrier and movable relative to the base for supporting a rider, the carrier has a front portion for swinging relative to the base and a rear portion pivotally coupled to the cranks indirectly with a pendulum for moving cyclically relative to the base and for allowing the carrier to be moved in an elliptical and reciprocating action relative to the base by the crank device, and the rider support is supported on the carrier and moved in concert with the rider support for supporting the rider, and the carrier and the rider support may be moved relative to the base in an elliptical and reciprocating action by the rider.

1 . A riding device comprising:
 a base including a column and a stud extended upwardly from said base,   a crank device rotatably attached to said stud of said base with an axle and rotatable relative to said base in a cyclic and reciprocating action,   a carrier including a front portion pivotally coupled to said column of said base for swinging relative to said base, and including a rear portion pivotally coupled to said crank device with a pendulum for moving cyclically relative to said base and for swinging relative to said base and for allowing said carrier to be moved in an elliptical and reciprocating action relative to said base by said crank device, and   a rider support supported on said carrier and moved in concert with said rider support for supporting a rider, and said carrier and said rider support being movable relative to said base in an elliptical and reciprocating action by the rider.   
   
   
       2 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said crank device includes a pivot pole pivotally coupled to said rear portion of said carrier. 
   
   
       3 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said front portion of said carrier is pivotally coupled to said column of said base with a link. 
   
   
       4 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said link is dependent downwardly from said column of said base and pivotally coupled to said front portion of said carrier with a pivot pin. 
   
   
       5 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said carrier includes a housing disposed on said carrier for supporting said rider support. 
   
   
       6 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said rider support includes a post extended downwardly therefrom and slidably engaged into said housing and adjustable up and down relative to said housing and said carrier. 
   
   
       7 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a fly wheel is rotatably attached to said stud of said base with said axle for allowing said axle and said crank device and said fly wheel to be rotated in concert with each other. 
   
   
       8 . The riding device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a follower is rotatably attached to said base and coupled to said fly wheel for allowing said follower to be rotated by said fly wheel.
