The novelty device for kicking a user's buttocks 100 (hereinafter invention) is a disciplinary device. The invention 100 is a striking tool. The invention 100 exchanges momentum between an appropriate authority 172 and a client 171. The momentum exchange occurs between the invention 100 and the buttocks of the client 171. The invention 100 comprises a frame structure 101, a mechanical linkage 102, and a disciplinary tool 103. The frame structure 101 elevates the mechanical linkage 102 and the disciplinary tool 103 above a supporting surface. The mechanical linkage 102 forms an energy transfer device that transfers the energy generated by the appropriate authority 172 to the disciplinary tool 103. The disciplinary tool 103 is a rotating structure. The disciplinary tool 103 converts the received energy from the appropriate authority 172 into a rotation with angular momentum. The disciplinary tool 103 rotates until the disciplinary tool 103 impacts the client 171. The impact of the disciplinary tool 103 with the client 171 transfers momentum to the buttocks of the client 171.

The frame structure 101 is a pedestal structure. The mechanical linkage 102 and the disciplinary tool 103 attach to the frame structure 101. The frame structure 101 forms a platform that elevates the mechanical linkage 102 and the disciplinary tool 103 above the supporting surface the invention 100 rests. The frame structure 101 forms the load path that transfers the loads of the mechanical linkage 102 and the disciplinary tool 103 to the supporting surface. The frame structure 101 forms a space where the client 171 stands to receive disciplinary action. The frame structure 101 comprises a suspension platform 111 and a plurality of telescopic legs 112.

The suspension platform 111 is a rigid structure. The suspension platform 111 is a u-shaped structure. The suspension platform 111 attaches to the plurality of telescopic legs 112. The suspension platform 111 attaches to the plurality of telescopic legs 112 such that the center axes of a first arm, a second arm, and a crossbeam of the u-shaped structure of the suspension platform 111 are horizontally oriented. The suspension platform 111 is sized such that the client 171 can stand between the free end of the first arm of the u-shaped structure of the suspension platform 111 and the free end of the second arm of the u-shaped structure of the suspension platform while receiving disciplinary action. The mechanical linkage 102 mounts on the suspension platform 111.

The plurality of telescopic legs 112 transfers the load borne by the suspension platform 111 to the supporting surface. Each telescopic leg selected from the plurality of telescopic legs 112 is a rigid structure. Each selected telescopic leg is a composite prism structure. Each selected telescopic leg is a load bearing structure. Each selected telescopic leg transfers a portion of the load borne by the frame structure 101 to the supporting surface. Each selected telescopic leg is an adjustable structure. By adjustable is meant that the span of the length of the center axis of the composite prism structure of each telescopic leg selected from the plurality of telescopic legs 112 can be changed.

The suspension platform 111 attaches to the plurality of telescopic legs 112 such that the plurality of telescopic legs 112 elevates the suspension platform 111 above the supporting surface. The elevation of the suspension platform 111 above the supporting surface adjusts by adjusting the span of the length of the center axis of each selected telescopic leg.

In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, each selected telescopic leg is a telescopic structure.

The mechanical linkage 102 is a mechanical device. The mechanical linkage 102 is operated by an appropriate authority 172. The mechanical linkage 102 forms a mechanical linkage 102 between the appropriate authority 172 and the disciplinary tool 103. The mechanical linkage 102 receives the motive forces required to operate the disciplinary tool 103 from the appropriate authority 172. The mechanical linkage 102 transfers the rotational energy received from the appropriate authority 172 to the disciplinary tool 103. The mechanical linkage 102 comprises a lever 121, a cam 122, a first pivot 141, a second pivot 142, a first connecting rod 151, and a second connecting rod 152.

The first pivot 141 is a pivot. The first pivot 141 is a rotating structure. The first pivot 141 secures the lever 121 to the suspension platform 111 such that the lever 121 rotates relative to the suspension platform 111.

The second pivot 142 is a pivot. The second pivot 142 is a rotating structure. The second pivot 142 secures the disciplinary tool 103 to the suspension platform 111 such that the disciplinary tool 103 rotates relative to the suspension platform 111.

The first connecting rod 151 is a rigid structure. The first connecting rod 151 is a prism shaped structure. The first connecting rod 151 is a transfer structure. The first connecting rod 151 transfers rotational energy received from the lever 121 to the cam 122.

The second connecting rod 152 is a rigid structure. The second connecting rod 152 is a prism shaped structure. The second connecting rod 152 is a transfer structure. The second connecting rod 152 transfers rotational energy received from the cam 122 to the disciplinary tool 103.

The lever 121 is a rigid structure. The lever 121 is a rotating structure. The lever 121 mechanically attaches to the first pivot 141. The lever 121 mechanically attaches to the first connecting rod 151. The appropriate authority 172 pulls on the lever 121 such that the lever 121 rotates around the first pivot 141. The lever 121 attaches to a congruent end of the first connecting rod 151 such that the rotation of the lever 121 moves the first connecting rod 151 in a linear direction that is aligned with the center axis of the first connecting rod 151.

The cam 122 is a mechanical device. The purpose of the cam 122 is to convert: a) linear motion into rotational motion; and, b) rotational motion into linear motion. The cam 122 attaches to the congruent end of the first connecting rod 151 that is distal from the lever 121. The cam 122 attaches to a congruent end of the second connecting rod 152. The cam 122 attaches to the first connecting rod 151 such that the linear motion of the first connecting rod 151 causes the cam 122 to rotate. The rotation of the cam 122 causes the second connecting rod 152 to move in a linear motion. The second connecting rod 152 moves in a linear direction that is aligned with the center axis of the second connecting rod 152.

The disciplinary tool 103 is a tool. The disciplinary tool 103 receives rotational energy from the mechanical linkage 102. The disciplinary tool 103 rotates such that the disciplinary tool 103 impacts the buttocks of the client 171. The disciplinary tool 103 transfers momentum to the buttocks of the client 171. The disciplinary tool 103 comprises a handle 131 and a working element 132.

The handle 131 is a rigid structure. The handle 131 is a prism shaped structure. The handle 131 forms the handle 131 of the tool formed by the disciplinary tool 103. The second pivot 142 attaches the handle 131 to the suspension platform 111 such that the handle 131 rotates relative to the suspension platform 111. The second connecting rod 152 attaches to the fixed end 161 of the handle 131. The handle 131 attaches to the second connecting rod 152 such that the linear motion of the second connecting rod 152 causes the handle 131 to rotate around the second pivot 142. The rotation of the handle 131 around the center of rotation formed by the second connecting rod 152 causes the working element 132 to also rotate around a center of rotation aligned with the second connecting rod 152.

The handle 131 comprises a fixed end 161 and a free end 162. The fixed end 161 is the congruent end of the handle 131 that is proximal to the suspension platform 111.
