DEFINITION
Classification: 482/70
Having separate foot engaging members reciprocating on parallel guide tracks, e.g., Nordic skiing simulator, etc.:
(under subclass 51) Subject matter wherein the apparatus includes a pair of individual user foot contacting elements separately capable of controlled movement back and forth along a set of evenly spaced rail-like elements.
(1) Note. The separate reciprocating foot engaging members permit the legs of the user to alternately move in a back and forth motion, e.g., to imitate leg motion necessary to propel a user when Nordic (cross country) skiing.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
71, for apparatus which may simulate Alpine (downhill) or towed, e.g., water, etc., skiing in which the user provides only insignificant propelling force. See the (1) Note thereunder.
72, for apparatus which may include track guided foot engaging members which must reciprocate in unison while simulating rowing a boat.
