    History of Springs

    Richard James invented the Slinky.

    Richard James was a naval engineer trying to develop a meter designed to monitor horsepower on naval battleships. Richard was working with coil springs when one of the springs fell to the ground. He saw how the spring kept moving after hitting the ground and an idea for a toy was born.

    Slinky debuted at Gimbel's Department Store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the Christmas årstid and then at the American Toy Fair. Richard was nervous at the first demonstration of his toy and convinced a friend to attend and buy the first Slinky. However, this turned out to be unnecessary as were sold during the 90 minute Gimbel demonstration.

    Pogo stick

    Spring-aided device for jumping off the ground in a standing position

    This article is about the jumping device. For the idrott, see Xpogo. For the comic book, see The Pogostick.

    A pogo stick is a vehicle for jumping off the ground in a standing position—through the aid of a spring, or new high performance technologies—often used as a toy, exercise equipment or extreme sports instrument.[1] It led to an extreme sport named extreme pogo or "Xpogo".

    It consists of a pole with a handle at the top and footrests near the bottom, and a spring located somewhere along the pole. The spring joins two sections of the pole, which extends below the footpads.

    The jumper places their feet on the footpads while balancing on the pole, then jumps up or down with a bending action of the knees to add or subtract energy in the spring. When the spring is at full compression or extension, the jumper is lifted by the recoil of the spring, being launched several inches or f

    Outdoor Play and Games: Vehicles--Pogo-Sticks










    Figure These Englaish children in the late s or early 50s are enjoying their matching pogo-sticks.

    I'm unsure just where to archive the pogo-stick. For want of a better palce I will archive it here. It was a vehicle of sorts. Pogo Sticks first appeared in America and were popular there in the s. I vaguely rememember pogo-sticks from the s. I never had one, but I remember seeing one as a little boy in America. A British reader tell us that they were popular in Briatin for a short time. I'm not sure if they appeared elsewhere. It appears to have been popular with both boys and girls. The pogo-stick, however, wasn't all that easy to use. It took considerable effort to bounce up and down and skill to keep balanced. If you just try to stand still on a pogo-stick, needless to say you will fall off. You have to get bouncing along.

    History

    No one realy knows who invented the pogo stick, or who or what pogo was. O
