Recreational apparatus providing up and down motion and rotational motion

Abstract

A recreational apparatus that provides up and down motion and rotational motion is encompassed. The apparatus comprising a beam mounted on a mount, in order to achieve up and down and rotational motion. The beam comprises a seat at the first and second ends on substantially opposing sides of the mount and an impact absorption member located with each seat. The impact absorption member is a resilient ball, wherein at least part of the ball fits through a rim in the seat. According to a further embodiment, the recreational apparatus can be adjusted as the beam is capable of being located on the mount at different positions along the length of the beam.

1 . A recreational apparatus providing up and down motion and rotational motion, comprising a mount and a beam mounted thereon, for said up and down and rotational motion, wherein the beam comprises first and second seats at substantially opposing sides of the mount and an impact absorption member associated with each seat. 
   
   
       2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the impact absorption member is a resilient ball. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein at least part of the ball fits through a rim in the seat. 
   
   
       4 . A recreational apparatus providing up and down motion and rotational motion, comprising a mount and a beam mounted thereon, for said up and down and rotational motion, wherein the beam is capable of being located on the mount at different positions along the length of the beam. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , in which the beam comprises first and second seats at substantially opposing sides of the mount and an impact absorption member located with each seat. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus according to any one of  claims 1 - 5 , wherein the mount is capable of being attached to the ground. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus according to any one of  claims 1 - 3  and  5 - 6 , wherein the seat further comprises an integral handle. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus according to any one of  claims 1 - 3  and  claims 5 - 7 , further comprising a handle bar between the seat and the mount. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus according to any one of  claims 1 - 3  and  6 - 8 , wherein the beam is capable of being located on the mount at different positions along the length of the beam. 
   
   
       10 . A recreational apparatus providing up and down motion comprising a mount and a beam mounted thereon for said up and down motion, wherein the beam comprises a seat remote from the mount comprising a rim and a resilient ball associated therewith in which at least part of the ball projects through a rim in the seat. 
   
   
       11 . A recreational apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the apparatus further provides rotational motion. 
   
   
       12 . A recreational apparatus according to  claim 10  or  claim 11 , wherein the beam comprises first and second seats at substantially opposing sides of the mount. 
   
   
       13 . A recreational apparatus according to any one of  claims 1 - 3 ,  5 - 9  and  12 , wherein the first and second seats are at respective ends of said beam. 
   
   
       14 . A recreational apparatus according to any one of  claims 1  to  13 , wherein the mount comprises at least one leg portion. 
   
   
       15 . A recreational apparatus according to  claim 14 , wherein the leg portion comprises a substantially vertical portion and a substantially horizontal portion, the horizontal portion comprising a generally radially extending inner length and, extending generally perpendicular thereto, a generally circumferentially extending outer length. 
   
   
       16 . A recreational apparatus substantially as described herein with reference to the drawings.
