A long or triple jump foul detector system is disclosed which very accurately detects a foul by an athlete when a portion of an athlete's shoe crosses over a foul line when beginning the jump. A laser beam is emitted parallel to and directly above the foul line. A laser beam detector detects interruption of the laser beam by the athlete's shoe and a foul detector provides a foul indication. An audible foul indication is delayed so as not to interfere with the athlete's jump. Also, the system may provide additional detection of an athlete's foot crossing a training line positioned in front of the foul line. Furthermore, the system distinguishes between a relatively quick interruption of the beam caused by the athlete's shoe when jumping, and a relatively slow interruption of the beam which may result such as by a judge placing his or her hand in the beam when measuring a jump. The system is equally well adaptable to either indoor or outdoor long or triple jump competition, and includes convenient set-up procedures which ensure accuracy. The system also automatically compensates for varying light conditions and is effective in bright sunlight. When a low battery voltage condition arises, the system automatically alerts the operator. A micro-processor is employed for rapid and accurate control of the various functions performed by the system. |

An integrated bungy jumping system for jumping off a platform. Connected to the platform is a rack to which are connected elasticized bungy jumping cords and a control mechanism to adjust the height of the bungy cords to accommodate the weight of the person jumping so that the jumper can control his contact relative to the surface above which he is jumping. The system also includes an arrangement for lowering the jumper to the surface upon completion of the jump. There is also provided a counterweight to return the system to accommodate another jumper. |

An inflatable bag comprises a small sack which is charged with sodium bicarbonate and accommodating a small externally breakable container filled with an acidic solution. The small sack is enveloped in an inflatable bag member which is made of a synthetic resin having no permeability to the gas which is generated as a reaction between the sodium bicarbonate and the acidic solution. As the small container is collapsed by external pressure, the acidic solution flows out of the container into reaction with the sodium bicarbonate, thereby generating carbon dioxide gas. The small sack is punctured by the gas pressure with a sound of a bang or a whistle and, thereafter, the inflatable gas member is gradually inflated. It is possible to use a plurality of small sacks made of a material which exhibits small extension, such that one small sack is contained in another sack. With this arrangement, the "bang" can be generated repeatedly or the whistles blown successively by the same number as the number of the small sacks used. |

A jump and reach physical training system is disclosed for measuring vertical height attained by a person jumping vertically from a standing position. A board is included, having visually perceptible full size scale with equally spaced increments thereon. The board includes appropriate mounting devices that allow it to be attached to a support above the floor surface and within standing reach of the jumper. The jumper stands flat on the floor and extends her arms upwardly to reach a maximum height on the board. The maximum reached height is indicated by the increment covered by the fingertips. Such increment is recorded on a held calculator. The individual then jumps upwardly in an effort to cover the board at the highest increment possible. The attendant observed this and notes the increment adjacent the high point of the jumper's reach. A corresponding increment is noted on the calculator which then provides a direct reading in terms of standard linear measurement. |

A long jump marking board that discloses the point of take-off of a long jump in athletic competition or practice comprising an array of elongate marking elements pivotally mounted to a base. The elements are closely spaced, parallel to each other, and transverse to the direction of the jump. Prior to use, the elements are situated in a first position extending substantially upward from the base. When a jump is made, using the marking board as a take-off point, an athlete's foot will contact a number of the elements and cause them to be pivoted to a second position angularly disposed to the base. The pivoted elements remain in the second position illustrating the point of foot contact and the take-off point of the jump. An accurate measurement may then be taken from the take-off point to the landing point. A reset mechanism is provided to reset all pivoted members to their original upright position. |

A hopping game apparatus for children having a longitudinal semiflexible tubular bar supported at each end by a pair of semiflexible legs with each leg having a formed foot designed to prevent the lower ends of the legs from jamming into the ground, the legs being of equal length such as to maintain the longitudinal bar horizontal. Extending laterally from each side of the longitudinal bar are a plurality of pairs of semiflexible rods that are horizontal and at right angles to the longitudinal bar. The pairs of rods are equally longitudinally spaced from each other along the length of the longitudinal bar to provide between opposed rods on each side of the longitudinal bar hopping zones, or stations, for a child, the purpose of the game apparatus being to provide and/or permit a child to hop, highstep, skip, jump, leap or twist in midair to an about face turn from one zone or station to another, from one end of the apparatus to the other, or from side to side, or along one side and back on the other side. In accordance with rules established for the game there is provided a plurality of multicolored rings that a child can move from one rod to another rod when it successfully accomplishes the desired or selected action in moving from one zone or station to another.

A lightweight metal rod which is intended to be manually held at opposite ends while being jumped over by the holder. The ends, by which it is held, are in the form of handles which may be positioned in the axis of the rod to provide one jumping height or moved to a parallel but offset position to provide a smaller jumping height.

The present invention relates to a board unit for a jumping exercise, and to a shock-absorbing leg for same. The board unit for a jumping exercise according to the present invention comprises: a main board having a wall that protrudes upwards along the entirety of the rim of a flat base panel; an inner plate which covers the base panel of the main board, and which has a tightening rib tightly coupled to the inner surface of the wall of the main body, and which has a reinforcing rib formed at the inner lower surface thereof; and an upper plate which is arranged on the inner plate, and made of a flexible material that is soft to the touch. The shock-absorbing leg for a jumping exercise has a hollow body and a pair of joint protrusions formed at the top of the main body and opposite each other, wherein said hollow body has a corrugated first shock-absorbing portion which is flexible and has a relatively lower strength, and a second shock-absorbing portion which contacts the first shock-absorbing portion and which has a strength greater than that of the first shock-absorbing portion and which has elastic restoring force. The main board, the inner plate, and selectively the upper plate of the board unit can be assembled in a one-touch fashion, thereby enabling easy assembly. The upper plate can be assembled in a variety of methods to produce a variety of designs to suit the taste of the user, and the double shock-absorbing structure of the shock-absorbing leg of the present invention can effectively absorb strong or weak shocks, thus enabling an increase in the number of users. |

A hang-timer device is disclosed that is capable of issuing recording instructions to a recording device, such as a digital camera. The hang-timer can measure a static acceleration profile of a wearer of the hang-timer, and based on this static acceleration profile it can issue recording instructions to a recording device. For example, if the static acceleration profile changes from about 1g to about 0g, the hang-timer can issue instructions for the recording device to record; additionally, if the profile changes from about 0g to about 1g, it can issue instructions to stop recording. Moreover, the hang-timer can issue instructions for the recording device to record some period of time before a hang-time event and some period of time after a hang-time event. Various other such variations on the general notion described above are also disclosed. |
