Bow-Shaped Bouncing Toys

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 4 Foot Bounce Pogo Stick Gives a New Design to an Old Plaything

— September 29, 2012 — Art & Design
Incorporating a patented bow-shaped spring made of composite fiber, The 4 Foot Bounce Pogo Stick takes pogo enthusiasts to new heights.

The shaft of the pogo stick is made from high-grade aluminium that's both durable and lightweight, and the padded handlebars provide additional comfort. But the real thing that sets this pogo stick apart from others is the bow-shaped mechanism. Its design returns the downward force of the rider much more efficiently than with traditional coiled spring pogo stick designs, enabling riders to bounce higher while exerting less force.

If you're aiming to teach your kids a lesson about the nature of gravity they won't soon forget, The 4 Foot Bounce Pogo Stick perfectly illustrates that what goes up, must come down.
Trend Themes
1. Bow-shaped Spring Mechanism - Innovative applications of this technology could disrupt industries from sports to transportation.
2. Composite Fiber Springs - The use of composite fiber and other advanced materials in spring technology could revolutionize industries from construction to aerospace.
3. Efficient Force Transmission - Technology that improves force transmission could have applications in industries from robotics to manufacturing.
Industry Implications
1. Sports Equipment - Incorporating composite fiber and other advanced materials in sports equipment could lead to lighter, more durable and efficient products.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The bow-shaped spring mechanism could be applied to other outdoor recreation equipment, such as trampolines, and could greatly enhance the overall experience for participants.
3. Transportation - The use of composite fiber springs can lead to lighter, more efficient transportation solutions, from bicycles to automobiles.
