CLASS 77: Sports.

The device designed as a swing is designed so that the occupants of the swing, while they are swinging or while they are completely at rest, the Receive the impression as if they swing up or at a considerable height. as whether the swing overturned completely. The device is on the accompanying drawings shown.

Fig. 1 shows the arrangement diagrammatically, Fig. 2 shows an external transmission, Fig. 3 in Section of a braking device, Fig. 4 partly in section, partly in view of a variant of the device and FIG. 5 shows a detail in side view.

The box A of the device Fig. 1, 2 and 3 is equipped inside like a living room. An axle B leading through the box A is rotatably mounted in bearing points D mounted outside the box, and the box itself is rotatable on this axle. In the interior of the box, the axis B is bent in a Π shape so that the bend extends almost to the top of the box, and the swing is suspended from the bend so that it can swing freely.

On one side of the box A , rotatably on the axis B, a sprocket b is attached, and. a chain d leads around this and around a sprocket f, the axis of which is rotatable in a storage rack G located behind the storage rack D. On this axis sits a cord or belt pulley g with a crank pin which is connected to the hand lever h mounted on the frame G by a push rod i .

A crossed cord k leads around the cord disk g and a cord disk k ¹ mounted on the frame D.

A swinging movement or rotation can therefore be transmitted to the box A by two different means, namely firstly by means of a lace disc g with crank pin, push rod and hand lever, and secondly by means of a rope disc k ¹ , which is provided with a hand crank.

On the side of the box A opposite that to which the chain wheel b is attached, there is a pulley m, and a brake band m ¹ leads around it, one end of which is attached to a block wi ² protruding from the frame D. and with the other end on a cord κ, which leads over further pulleys and from these through the hollow axis B ; the inner end of this cord is within the hand of the person who is inside the box to operate the device.

A second cord p, which protrudes from the hollow axis B on the opposite side and allows signals to be given to a guard outside the box, is also easily accessible for the operator.

On the opposite sides of the box there are windows S, and on the outside of the box over the whole containing the windows

A wall / on which a wall of a neighboring house is represented by painting or in some other way extends across the room. The device thus produced is now set up in a suitable building in such a way that its outside is completely hidden from view. The inside of the box is accessed from an anteroom, which is connected to box A by a suitable bridge. When people get into the box, the bridge is firmly connected to the chamber by a bolt tl, which is removed before the box is set in vibration. After the passengers have entered the inside of box A and have taken their place in the swing, the door through which they entered is closed, whereupon the guard in the box also sits in the swing and gives the signal to the guard standing outside to set the box in motion. This keeper now begins to set the box in vibrations, which are initially small, then become larger and larger, until at the end he lets the box make a few complete revolutions, whereupon he lets the vibrations become smaller again until the box comes to a complete standstill. Since the passengers in the swing have no mark by which they can see that the box is vibrating, they are led to believe that the swing is making these vibrations and finally overturns completely a few times. Of course, the furniture and decorative objects in box A must be fastened in such a way that they cannot change their position when the box vibrates. The brake attached to the outside of the box gives the keeper inside the possibility / to regulate the speed of rotation and to bring the box to a standstill quickly if required. If it is not desired to make the box complete revolutions, the axis B can be placed in the upper part of the box, as shown in FIG. In such a box, the casing surrounding it can be considerably lower than in the first case. The purpose of the upward cranking of the shaft within box A is to give the swing girders the greatest possible length. If desired, you can also let the axle run through the box without cranking and hang the swing directly on the axle. In Fig. 5 a modification of the drive device is shown, as it appears appropriate for some cases. On the shaft B of the box, a washer P is fastened with a crank pin which is rotatably fastened in the upper slot of a fixed frame on the outside. Lever P1 engages. At the lower end of this lever is also provided with a slot in which the crank pin wl of the drive pulley P2 engages, so that by rotating the same the pulley P and thus also the box A are set in reciprocating oscillations. The swing box must be provided with a high grille to prevent the passengers from falling out of the swing. The interior of the box A can be illuminated by gas or electric light, in that the leads pass through the hollow axis B into the interior of the box. Pa τ ε ν τ - A ν s ρ R ü c η ε: 1. A stationary swing with a housing surrounding it, which is shown in Vibrations or revolutions are displaced, so that those sitting in the swing People have the sensation that the swing is being set in motion respectively completely, overturn. 2. Embodiments of the under i. marked swing on which a) the gears, which are intended to set the housing vibrating, attached to the outside of the housing; b) braking devices are arranged on the outside of the housing, which can be operated by means of a cord reaching into the interior of the box; c) a bridge leads from an anteroom into the housing, and devices are provided to hold the bridge in place and loosen it.
