Abstract:
Described herein is an apparatus and method to convey an object through the air in a controlled and repeatable manner. The apparatus may comprise an object attached to at least one resilient member, the resilient member or members constraining object movement in a substantially vertical y-axis direction. The apparatus may also comprise at least one support member coupled to the at least one resilient member, and the support member or members constrain object movement in a substantially horizontal x-axis direction. In use, the resilient member is energised, movement initiated, and object movement then occurs in an x-axis and a y-axis direction, the movement path substantially governed by the resilient member(s) and the support member(s). The apparatus and method may allow the object to experience a variety of movement sensations, one being the feeling of flight or gliding.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus to control movement of an object, the apparatus comprising:\n (a) at least one object attached to at least one resilient member, wherein the at least one resilient member constrains movement of the at least one object in a substantially vertical y-axis direction; and (b) at least one support member moveably coupled to the at least one resilient member, wherein the at least one support member constrains resilient member movement along a set path relative to the support member and, wherein the at least one support member has a positive or negative incline through at least part of the length of the support member;\n wherein, in use:\n i. the at least one resilient member is energized prior to movement and, when movement of the at least one object is initiated, the object moves substantially in the vertical y-axis direction, movement constrained by the at least one resilient member, and the set path direction constrained by the at least one support member; and \n ii. movement post initiation in the y-axis direction is independent of movement of the resilient member along the first set path.
