DEFINITION
Classification: 472/15
Trainer for foot travel (e.g., for walking, skating, etc.):
(under subclass 14) Subject matter wherein the apparatus helps the circuitous movement causing person to learn to locomote in a step by step manner over an underlying surface area.
(1) Note. The person may be a baby, a novice, an invalid, etc., learning or relearning how to walk, skate, etc. The roundabout may be used to stabilize the person during the learning process and may carry only a portion of the person's weight, or may carry it only when the person falls, or begins to fall. See the Search Note to Exercise Devices below.

104, Railways, particularly
62, for a railway vehicle traveling along a fixed track and used for physical training.
135, Tent, Canopy, Umbrella, or Cane, particularly
65+, for subject matter relating to a cane, stick, crutch, or the like designed to aid in human locomotion and to similar structure in umbrella shafts and swagger sticks when useful for aiding human locomotion and subclass 67 for a walker, per se, i.e., an aid to locomotion which is a free standing support having two handles by which it is gripped and is operated by lifting from, moving across and replacing on the ground, floor, or the like and which does not have a seat,
path control or propulsion facilitating means, e.g., wheels, casters, etc. 280, Land Vehicles, particularly
7.1+, for a walker vehicle propelled by a seated occupant and convertible to a different device, e.g., a stroller, etc., subclasses 43+ for a walker having retractable wheels, subclasses 87.021+ for a wheeled walker propelled by the contact of a hand or foot of a child with a surface over which the walker travels and that is unrestricted as to path, except by a wheel or wheel mounting, subclasses 200+ for a wheeled vehicle having other types of positive propelling means, subclasses 809+ for a skier or skater appliance or attachment including a hand held ski pole and subclasses 841+ for skates and skis, per se. Also see the below search note to Class 297.

The seat may be occupied for resting between successive exercise periods of walking, skiing, skating, etc., and may include a mere recitation of wheels or running gear. See the Class Definition and the Search notes thereunder of Class 297 for the line between that class and Class 280, Land Vehicles, regarding similar apparatus found in those classes.
482, Exercise Devices, for similar art to this subclass (15) where the person is not limited to following a circuitous path; also see particularly
66+, for an occupant propelled support frame having a movement facilitating feature and subclass 69 for user translation apparatus which suspends the occupant from above, e.g., by a body harness, etc. See (1) Note, above.
