Horse-riding simulation device

Abstract

A horse-riding simulation device contains a seat, a stand, a support member, a power source, a front-back driving member, and a left-right driving member. The device mainly uses belts as the transmission mechanism. Through a belt, a motor of the power source drives an axle of the front-back driving member to spin. The axle in turn drives another axle of the left-right driving member to spin via another belt. The second axle has an eccentric crank shaft connecting to a place of the stand via a shaft. When the crank shaft is spun, the seat pin-joined to the stand is swung to the left and to the right periodically by the shaft.

1 . A horse-riding simulation device comprising:
 a stand having at least a support plate;   a seat pivotally joined to said stand having the shape of a saddle for a user to sit astride;   a support member fixed to said support plate having at least a U-shaped handle along the front-back direction relative to said user, said handle supporting said seat from therebeneath;   a power source fixed to said support plate having at least a motor;   a front-back driving member fixed to said support plate having at least a first axle running trough a first transmission wheel, and a first driving wheel engaged by said motor and connected to said first transmission wheel by a first transmission belt, said first axle, when spun, engaging said handle into periodical front-back movements; and   a left-right driving member fixed to said support plate having at least a third axle engaged by said first axle via a third transmission belt, and a eccentric third crank shaft having a first end connected to said third axle and a second end connected to a first end of a shaft, a second end of said shaft pivotally joined to said stand; said third crank shaft, when spun, engaging said shaft to swing said support plate and thereby said seat to the left and to the right periodically.   
   
   
       2 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said support plate has two opposing sockets aligned in the front-back direction in the middle therebeneath; said stand has two opposing pins aligned in the front-back direction in the middle; and said pins are pivotally joined to said sockets, respectively. 
   
   
       3 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first end of said shaft has a bearing for connection to said second end of said third crank shaft. 
   
   
       4 . The device according  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first and third transmission belts is a leather belt. 
   
   
       5 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and third transmission belts are made of a flexible material. 
   
   
       6 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein said third transmission belt runs around a third driving wheel of said first axle and a third transmission wheel of said third axle.
