Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Rundfahrgeschäft mit einer um eine in Ruhestellung etwa vertikale Mittelachse dreh- und antreibbaren Bodenscheibe, auf der mit Abstand von der Mittelachse mehrere Sitzträger jeweils an einer Nabe befestigt und um eine Achse drehbar gelagert sind, wobei die Achsen der Sitzträger gegenüber der Mittelachse geneigt sind.The invention relates to a circular ride with a base disc which can be rotated and driven about a central axis which is approximately vertical in the rest position and on which a plurality of seat supports are each fastened to a hub and are rotatably mounted about an axis at a distance from the central axis, the axes of the seat supports being opposite the central axis are inclined.

Bei diesem aus der US-A-2 319 327 bekannten Rundfahrgeschäft geht die Achse des Sitzträgers im wesentlichen durch den Schwerpunkt des Sitzträgers mit dem darauf sitzenden Fahrgast, so dass Fliehkrafteinflüsse (infolge Drehung um die Mittelachse) ebenso wie Einflüsse von Beschleunigungs- und Verzögerungskräften auf den Träger allenfalls gering sind. Für die Drehung des Sitzträgers (mit Fahrgastsitz und Fahrgast) ist daher ein vom Fahrgast zu betätigender Handantrieb vorgesehen, der infolge der weitgehenden Auswuchtung sogar übersetzt ausgebildet ist. Ferner verläuft die Hauptebene des Trägers senkrecht zur Sitzträgerachse, so dass sie in allen Drehstellungen des Sitzträgers um den Neigungswinkel a der Sitzträgerachse gegenüber der Bodenscheibe geneigt ist.In this circular ride known from US-A-2 319 327, the axis of the seat carrier essentially passes through the center of gravity of the seat carrier with the passenger sitting on it, so that centrifugal forces (as a result of rotation about the central axis) as well as influences of acceleration and deceleration forces are absorbed the carrier is small at best. For the rotation of the seat carrier (with passenger seat and passenger), therefore, a manual drive to be actuated by the passenger is provided, which due to the extensive balancing is even geared. Furthermore, the main plane of the support extends perpendicular to the seat support axis, so that it is inclined in all rotational positions of the seat support by the angle of inclination α of the seat support axis with respect to the base plate.

Von diesem Stand der Technik ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ohne zusätzlichen herstellungstechnischen Aufwand die Attraktivität eines derartigen - relativ einfachen - Fahrgeschäfts durch zusätzliche Bewegungsabläufe zu erhöhen.Starting from this prior art, the invention is based on the object of increasing the attractiveness of such a - relatively simple - amusement ride without additional manufacturing outlay by additional movement sequences.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäss dadurch, dass die Sitzträger unter einem Winkel β derart an ihren Naben befestigt sind, dass nur in einer Ruhelage die Hauptebene des Sitzträgers senkrecht zur Mittelachse verläuft. In der Ruhelage des Sitzträgers befindet sich dieser am tiefsten Punkt seiner Kreisbahn um seine Achse und ist an jedem anderen Punkt dieser Kreisbahn nicht nur angehoben, sondern auch gegenüber der Drehachse der Mittelscheibe und damit deren Hauptebene gekippt. Aufgrund der Erdanziehung hat der (um seine Achse frei drehbare) Sitzträger jedoch das Bestreben, in die Ruhelage zurückzukehren, wenn er aus dieser ausgelenkt wurde. Dies geschieht im Betrieb des Rundfahrgeschäfts schon aufgrund von Beschleunigungs- und Verzögerungskräften, die auf diese Weise den Fahrgast eine scheinbare 'Berg-und Talfahrt' vollführen lassen. Der Fahrgast kann eine solche den beiden Drehbewegungen (um die Mittelachse der Bodenscheibe einerseits und die Sitzträgerachse andererseits) überlagerte Vertikalbewegung auch willkürlich herbeiführen; vorteilhaft ist deshalb am oberen Ende der Achse des Sitzträgers ein Handrad - relativ zur Bodenscheibe starr-befestigt, was an sich bekannt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the seat supports are attached to their hubs at an angle β such that the main plane of the seat support extends perpendicular to the central axis only in a rest position. In the rest position of the seat support, it is located at the lowest point of its circular path about its axis and is not only raised at every other point of this circular path, but also tilted with respect to the axis of rotation of the central disk and thus its main plane. However, due to gravity, the seat support (freely rotatable about its axis) tends to return to the rest position when it has been deflected out of it. In the operation of the tour business, this already happens due to acceleration and deceleration forces, which in this way allow the passenger to carry out an apparent 'ascent and descent'. The passenger can also arbitrarily bring about such a vertical movement superimposed on the two rotary movements (about the central axis of the base plate on the one hand and the seat support axis on the other); It is therefore advantageous to have a handwheel at the upper end of the axis of the seat support — rigidly fixed relative to the base plate, which is known per se.

Aus der US-A-3 603 583 ist ein Rundfahrgeschäft bekannt, bei dem mehrere Fahrgast-Sitzträger jeweils am freien Ende eines Auslegerarmes angeordnet sind. Die Auslegerarme sind um eine zentrische, vertikale Achse drehbar und um tangential zu dieser verlaufende horizontale Achsen in vertikalen Ebenen schwenkbar. Jeder Sitzträger ist an einer Nabe befestigt, die um eine Hochachse drehbar ist, welche an einem abgekröpften Endabschnitt des Auslegerarmes und senkrecht zu diesem befestigt ist. In der Ruhestellung des Auslegerarmes (Einsteigstellung) ist die Hochachse des Sitzträgers gegenüber der zentrischen Drehachse des Fahrgeschäfts geneigt, beim Hochschwenken des Auslegerarmes im Betrieb geht diese Neigung zunächst gegen Null und nimmt dann - in anderer Richtung - wieder zu. Dieses bekannte Rundfahrgeschäft ist nicht nur von anderer, wesentlich komplizierterer Gattung, sondern kann auch die vorliegend erstrebte Wirkung nicht erzielen, weil die Sitzträger nicht unter einem Winkel an ihren Naben befestigt sind.A circular ride is known from US-A-3 603 583, in which a plurality of passenger seat carriers are each arranged at the free end of a cantilever arm. The cantilever arms can be rotated about a central, vertical axis and pivoted about horizontal axes tangential to it in vertical planes. Each seat bracket is attached to a hub which is rotatable about a vertical axis which is attached to a bent end portion of the cantilever arm and perpendicular to this. In the rest position of the cantilever arm (entry position), the vertical axis of the seat support is inclined with respect to the central axis of rotation of the ride, when the cantilever arm is pivoted up during operation, this inclination initially approaches zero and then increases again in the other direction. This well-known tour business is not only of a different, much more complicated type, but also cannot achieve the desired effect because the seat supports are not attached to their hubs at an angle.

Letzteres gilt auch für das aus der AU-B-462 297 bekannte Fahrgeschäft, bei dem mehrere Fahrgast-Sitzträger am Umfang einer Bodenscheibe angeordnet sind, welche mit ihrer zentrischen Drehachse kippbar ist. Die im wesentlichen ovalen Sitzträger sind mittels ungeneigter Naben und Achsen drehbar gelagert, die lotrecht auf der Bodenscheibe befestigt sind.The latter also applies to the amusement ride known from AU-B-462 297, in which several passenger seat carriers are arranged on the circumference of a floor disc which can be tilted with its central axis of rotation. The essentially oval seat supports are rotatably supported by means of uninclined hubs and axles, which are fastened vertically on the base plate.

Vorzugsweise ist die Achse jedes Sitzträgers entweder radial auswärts oder radial einwärts geneigt. Dies hat gegenüber einer Seitwärtsneigung den Vorteil sinnfälliger Ausrichtung der Sitzträger und damit der Fahrgastsitze in ihrer Ruhelage, welche gleichzeitig die Einstiegsposition beim Fahrgastwechsel ist. Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass mehrere Sitzträger mit ihren Naben gruppenweise auf als Zwischenscheiben dienenden Bodenscheiben angeordnet sind, deren jede um eine auf einer Haupt-Bodenscheibe senkrecht stehende Zwischenachse dreh-und antreibbar ist sowie radialen Abstand von der Mittelachse der Haupt-Bodenscheibe hat. Solche Satelliten-Konstruktionen sind an sich bekannt. In bezug auf die Zwischenachse sind die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung und die neue Wirkung der Träger-Hochachsen mit ihren Trägern die gleichen wie vorstehend mit Bezug auf die Mittelachse beschrieben, jedoch überlagert sich dem noch die Drehung der Zwischenscheibe um die Mittelachse, so dass ein zusätzliches, für den einzelnen Fahrgast auf- und abschwellendes Fliehkraftfeld wirkt.The axis of each seat support is preferably inclined either radially outwards or radially inwards. Compared to a sideways inclination, this has the advantage of a sensible alignment of the seat carriers and thus the passenger seats in their rest position, which is also the entry position when changing passengers. A further development of the invention provides that a plurality of seat supports with their hubs are arranged in groups on floor disks serving as intermediate disks, each of which can be rotated and driven around an intermediate axis perpendicular to a main floor disk and has a radial distance from the central axis of the main floor disk . Such satellite constructions are known per se. With regard to the intermediate axis, the arrangement according to the invention and the new effect of the carrier vertical axes with their carriers are the same as described above with reference to the central axis, however, the rotation of the intermediate disk about the central axis is also superimposed on it, so that an additional, for centrifugal force swells up and down for the individual passenger.

Es ist ferner möglich, weitere an sich bekannte Merkmale von Rundfahrgeschäften auch bei dem vorliegenden Rundfahrgeschäft einzusetzen. So kann die Mittelachse der Bodenscheibe gegen die Lotrechte um einen Winkel schrägstellbar sein, wie dies zum Beispiel aus der AU-B-462 297 bekannt ist. Man wird den Winkel kleiner als den Neigungswinkel der Sitzträgerachsen wählen, um zu verhindern, dass die Wirkung jener Neigung durch die der Mittelachse aufgehoben wird; im übrigen aber überlagern sich in diesem Falle zwei 'Berg- und Talfahrten' unter Aufrechterhaltung der einander überlagerten Drehbewegungen.It is also possible to use further features of round-trip rides, which are known per se, also in the present round-trip trade. For example, the central axis of the base plate can be inclined at an angle to the perpendicular, as is known, for example, from AU-B-462 297. The angle will be chosen to be smaller than the angle of inclination of the seat support axes in order to prevent the effect of that inclination from being canceled out by that of the central axis; otherwise, in this case, two 'ascents and descents' overlap while maintaining the superimposed rotary movements.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel. Darin zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 in schematischem Querschnitt eine Hälfte der Bodenscheibe mit jedoch nur einem Sitzträger;
  • Fig. 2 eine der Figur 1 gleiche Darstellung, jedoch mit einer anderen Sitzträger-Anordnung;
  • Fig. 3 eine - ebenfalls schematische - Draufsicht auf einen Viertelkreis-Ausschnitt des Rundfahrgeschäfts; und
  • Fig. 4 eine der Figur 1 entsprechende Darstellung der Anordnung mit Zwischenscheibe.
The drawing illustrates the invention using an exemplary embodiment. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 in a schematic cross section Half of the floor pane with only one seat support;
  • FIG. 2 shows a representation similar to FIG. 1, but with a different seat support arrangement;
  • 3 shows a plan view, likewise schematic, of a quarter-circle section of the circular shop; and
  • Fig. 4 is a representation corresponding to Figure 1 of the arrangement with washer.

In der bei Karussells üblichen Weise trägt ein zentraler Mittelbau 1 drehbar eine Bodenscheibe 2, welche gemäss Figur 3 kreisrund ist, aber auch eine hiervon abweichende äussere Kontur besitzen kann. Der im Mittelbau 1 angeordnete Antrieb ist nicht dargestellt; er dreht die Bodenscheibe 2 um die vertikale Mittelachse 3.In the manner customary in carousels, a central central structure 1 rotatably supports a base plate 2 which, according to FIG. 3, is circular, but can also have an outer contour which deviates therefrom. The drive arranged in the middle section 1 is not shown; it rotates the base plate 2 about the vertical central axis 3.

Mit radialem Abstand von der Mittelachse 3 und am Umfang gleichmässig verteilt sind Sitzträger 4 angeordnet, die im vorliegenden Beispiel mit dem Fahrgastsitz 5 zu einem Bauteil vereinigt sind. Der Sitzträger 4 ist an einer Nabe 6 befestigt, welche um eine strich-punktiert angedeutete Achse 7 frei drehbar ist. Am oberen Ende der Achse 7 ist ein Handrad 8 befestigt, welches - da die Achse 7 fest auf der Bodenscheibe 2 sitzt - dieser gegenüber ortsfest bleibt, wenn sich die Nabe 6 mit dem Sitzträger 4 um die Achse 7 dreht. Eine solche Bewegung kann daher von einem Fahrgast verursacht werden, der sich mit seinen Händen am Handrad 8 abstützt.Seat supports 4 are arranged at a radial distance from the central axis 3 and evenly distributed on the circumference, which in the present example are combined with the passenger seat 5 to form a component. The seat support 4 is fastened to a hub 6, which is freely rotatable about an axis 7 indicated by dash-dotted lines. At the upper end of the axis 7, a handwheel 8 is fastened which - since the axis 7 is firmly seated on the base plate 2 - remains stationary when the hub 6 rotates about the axis 7 with the seat support 4. Such a movement can therefore be caused by a passenger who is supported with his hands on the handwheel 8.

Abweichend von bekannten Anordnungen ist die Achse 7 nicht lotrecht auf der Bodenscheibe 2 befestigt, sondern dieser gegenüber geneigt auf ihr angeordnet, und zwar gemäss Figur 1 radial auswärts, gemäss Figur 2 radial einwärts. Mit der Lotrechten schliesst die Achse 7 des Sitzträgers 4 einen Winkel a ein. Unter einem entsprechenden Winkel ß =90°-a ist der Sitzträger 4 mit seiner horizontalen Hauptebene 4a an der Nabe 6 befestigt. Aus diesem Grunde wird der Sitz 5, wenn er in der einen oder anderen Richtung aus seiner in Fig. 1 (und Fig. 2) dargestellten Ruhelage herausgedreht wird, der Achs- und Sitzträger-Neigung entsprechend angehoben; in den Fig. 1 und 2 ist jeweils diejenige Lage strichpunktiert angedeutet, in der der Ruhelage diametral gegenüber der Sitzträger 4 mit dem Sitz 5 die am stärksten angehobene Lage einnimmt.In a departure from known arrangements, the axis 7 is not fixed vertically on the base plate 2, but rather is arranged on it inclined relative to it, namely radially outwards according to FIG. 1 and radially inwards according to FIG. The axis 7 of the seat support 4 forms an angle a with the vertical. At a corresponding angle β = 90 ° -a, the seat support 4 is fastened to the hub 6 with its horizontal main plane 4a. For this reason, when the seat 5 is rotated in one direction or the other out of its rest position shown in FIG. 1 (and FIG. 2), the inclination of the axle and seat support is raised accordingly; 1 and 2, that position is indicated by dash-dotted lines in which the rest position diametrically opposite the seat support 4 with the seat 5 assumes the most raised position.

Da die Nabe 6 mit dem daran befestigten Sitzträger 4 auf der Achse 7 frei drehbar ist, besteht die Neigung des Sitzträgers 4 mit dem daran befestigten Fahrgastsitz 5 (sowie gegebenenfalls einem Fahrgast) unter der Wirkung der Erdanziehungskraft (Gewicht) in die in den Figuren 1 und 2 jeweils ausgezogen dargestellte Ruhelage zurückzukehren.Since the hub 6 with the seat support 4 attached to it can be freely rotated on the axis 7, the inclination of the seat support 4 with the passenger seat 5 attached to it (and possibly a passenger) exists under the effect of the gravitational force (weight) in that shown in FIGS and 2 to return to the rest position shown in full lines.

Das gleiche gilt, wenn der Sitzträger 4 mit Hilfe der Nabe 6 um die Achse 7 frei drehbar auf einer Zwischenscheibe 9 angeordnet ist, welche ihrerseits um eine Achse 10 auf der Bodenscheibe 2 gelagert ist. Ein nur angedeuteter Antrieb 11 dreht die Zwischenscheibe 9 um die Achse 10 und bewegt auf diese Weise den Sitzträger 4 mit dem darauf befindlichen Sitz 5 in unterschiedliche radiale Abstände von der Mittelachse 3, was zu hiervon abhängigen Bewegungen des Sitzträgers 4 mit der Nabe 6 um die Achse 7 führt.The same applies if the seat support 4 is arranged with the aid of the hub 6 so as to be freely rotatable about the axis 7 on an intermediate plate 9, which in turn is mounted on the base plate 2 about an axis 10. A drive 11, only indicated, rotates the intermediate disk 9 about the axis 10 and in this way moves the seat support 4 with the seat 5 thereon at different radial distances from the central axis 3, resulting in movements of the seat support 4 with the hub 6 which depend on this Axis 7 leads.

In Fig. 1 ist strichpunktiert angedeutet, dass die Bodenscheibe 2 mit der Mittelachse 3 gekippt (bzw. unter Anheben gekippt) werden kann, so dass die Bodenscheibe 2 mit allen Aufbauten gegenüber ihrer ursprünglichen horizontalen Hauptebene eine schräge Lage einnimmt. Der Winkel, um den die Mittelachse 3 gegen die Lotrechte verschwenkt wird, ist in Fig. 1 mit (p bezeichnet. Im allgemeinen wird die Anordnung insbesondere so getroffen werden, dass der Winkel (p kleiner als der Neigungswinkel a der Sitzträgerachsen 7 ist.In Fig. 1 is indicated by dash-dotted lines that the base plate 2 can be tilted with the central axis 3 (or tilted while lifting), so that the base plate 2 with all the superstructures assumes an oblique position with respect to its original horizontal main plane. The angle by which the central axis 3 is pivoted against the vertical is denoted by (p in FIG. 1. In general, the arrangement will in particular be such that the angle (p is smaller than the angle of inclination a of the seat support axes 7.

Eine zusätzliche Fahrsensation ergibt sich, wenn man die gekippte Bodenscheibe 2 wippen lässt, was mit Hilfe eines Luftbalges, der die Bodenscheibe in die gekippte Stellung hebt, unschwer (und gefedert) möglich ist.An additional driving sensation arises when the tilted base plate 2 is rocked, which is easily possible (and sprung) with the help of an air bellows that lifts the base plate into the tilted position.
