Fixed hub. Besides, the whole arrangement is inclined. The passenger carriers form a closed ring, although such carousels have a limit is set in relation to the circumferential speed because consideration is given to the passengers subjected to centrifugal force must become.

The innovation is based on the task of finding a carousel arrangement that increases the peripheral speed allows, increases the stimulus to experience, but reduces the risk for passengers.

This is achieved in the sense of the innovation in that the Disk along its edge area at a distance from one another upright support brackets, between which the passenger carriers are arranged hanging with the help of pendulums attached to the front.

The advantage of this carousel designed in this way is that a very considerable increase in the peripheral speed can be achieved without endangering passengers. Because the passenger carriers are suspended in the shape of a pendulum, they swing under at high speeds Outward centrifugal force, so that the centrifugal force acting on the passengers presses the passengers against their seats and no longer, as with known carousels, against the side walls of the passenger racks. At the same time, the experience

stimulus increased considerably, because in addition to the enlargement the circumferential speed, the sideways swinging of the passenger carrier leads to overlapping movements.

In the context of "refinements of the innovation, it is provided that the support frames have an approximately triangular, upwardly tapering shape, in the tip area the articulation of the pendulum is provided. The individual pendulum can consist of two mutually acute angles There are links that are mounted on a common axis on the support frame. It is also advisable to use the to provide individual support frames with struts extending in the tangential direction and connected to the disc, so that the inertia forces and tangential forces can be easily absorbed,

Another object of the innovation is that the disk is attached to radial supports from profile supports which are connected to the slewing ring designed as a spherical slewing ring, with a centric Disc area cut out and by a fixed or mainly counter-rotating disc, spherical cap or something like that has just been replaced.

With the help of this embodiment of the innovation can during

particularly contains adventure stimuli. Due to the recess in a central disk area, the impression to be awakened as if the passenger carrier were moving around a planet as a satellite.

For this reason the disk is, according to the innovation, with its The bearing and drive are arranged on a support arm that can be pivoted on one side and whose pivot axis is on one that serves as a foundation Trolley mounted and connected to a hydraulic swivel cylinder. Advantageously, a the pivot axis and the hydraulic cylinder receiving the support frame pivotable about a vertical axis on the trans-, be arranged port car, which in turn is provided with pivotably hinged support levers. Instead of the transport trolley other foundations can also be provided. It seems essential that one should use such an arrangement a swash plate can achieve in which during the rapid rotation of the disc its axis on the one hand from the The vertical can be adjusted to an inclined position and, on the other hand, can be set in a circular motion.

Details of the innovation can be found in the drawing. ■ In it the innovation is schematic and example

shown. Show it:

Fig. 1: a schematic side view of an oblique Position of the carousel with the pendulum suspended passenger carriers and

2r is a perspective view from below of the carousel according to Fig. 1..

In the exemplary embodiment of the innovation, the carousel is provided with a rotatable disk 1, on the edge area of which there are support frames 2 arranged at a distance from one another. These support brackets 2 are firmly connected to the disk 1 and, if necessary, stiffened with struts 6 in the tangential direction. In the exemplary embodiment, the support brackets have an upwardly tapering triangular shape, at the tip of which a bearing is provided for receiving an axle on which a pendulum 4 is pivotably mounted. This pendulum 4, which can also preferably represent a double-armed lever arrangement at an acute angle, carries at its lower end the passenger carrier 3, which is thus arranged hanging and pendulum between the support frames 2. The bearings 5 are arranged so high that an optimum of amusement stimulus is achieved at high circumferential speeds without endangering the passengers. When the disc 1 rotates around its center at rapid speed , the start

Passenger carrier 3 under the action of centrifugal force knock out the outside so that the passengers are pressed against their seats; and no longer, as with known ones Carousels, which are subject to danger, from the passenger carriers to be thrown out.

As shown in particular Fig. 2, the disc 1 is attached to radially extending brackets 7, which are preferably can be cranked. The middle area of the disk can be cut out and replaced by another disk, a spherical cap 10 or the like are replaced, which is either fixed or rotates in the same direction or even in opposite directions. This will gives the impression that the passenger carriers 3 as Satellites moved around a planet.

The cantilevers 7 are connected to a hub θ and these are mounted on a support arm 11 by means of a spherical rotary joint Λ, which can be pivoted on one side about a pivot axis 12 with the aid of a hydraulic cylinder 13. With help With this arrangement, it is possible to remove the pane 1 from the horizontal position that it is when mounting and dismounting normally occupies in an inclined position too change, as a result of which the stimulus to experience increases, because now the movement takes place along an inclined plane and

909883/0317

the passenger carriers 3 carry out an ascent and descent, in the course of which the oscillation is different.

The support frame 14 can also according to the example of Pig. 2 on a trolley 15 or some other foundation be arranged. Here, FIG. 2 shows an additional variant, according to which the support frame 14 around a spherical rotary joint 18 is pivotable. This pivotability can be used on the one hand to adjust the position of the carousel with regard to to change its center of gravity in relation to the foundation. On the other hand, it is also possible to use the Support frame 14 slowly around the ball pivot connection 18 rotate and thereby produce the effect of a swash plate by the inclined plane of the disc 1 itself / continuously changes in their inclination. The trolley 15 or a corresponding foundation is here of sufficiently long Support levers 16 are provided which are rotatably mounted at the corners of the transport carriage 15 with the aid of the pivot axes 17 ' are. During the transport, these support levers 16 can be pivoted towards the transport carriage 15. In the inPig. 2 they serve to secure the foundation in its position.
