摘要

The device includes support beams (1) for supporting rails (11), along which trolleys (20) slide. The curved rails (34) follow the shape of obstacles (42) on the ground. A strap (35) of adjustable length is connected between the trolley and a harness (39) worn by the person learning, e.g. to skate. The teaching device also includes signaling strips fixed to the ground for guiding partially-sighted or blind persons. A device fixed to the rail includes a sensor that actuates a sound signal whose tone is different according to the type of obstacle being encountered.
