(under subclass 51) Subject matter whereby the apparatus supports the user for bounding about on a supporting surface, e.g., ground, floor, etc.
(1) Note. This subclass provides for apparatus whose primary purpose is bouncing exercise. Movement over the ground, floor, etc., is often in random directions as, for example, when a child sits on a large ball type apparatus and bounces vertically while moving randomly about in a horizontal direction.
(2) Note. While the intended use of this type of apparatus is not always clearly set forth as being exercise, the apparatus has been historically considered to be a form of exercise or athletic device which, by its nature, often makes exercising more enjoyable.
