Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Wasserrrutsche für Personen, mit mindestens einer aus rinnenförmigen, grossenteils gebogenen Bahnabschnitten zusammengesetzten Rutschbahn, die zumindest teilweise von Kragträgern getragen ist, die von einer Stützen aufweisenden Tragkonstruktion in verschiedenen Höhen auskragen, wobei am freien Ende jedes Kragträgers ein Stützglied für den Verbindungsbereich zweier Bahnabschnitte vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a water slide for people with at least one slide composed of channel-shaped, largely curved track sections, which is at least partially supported by cantilevers, which protrude from a support structure having supports at different heights, with a support member for at the free end of each cantilever the connection area of two track sections is provided.

Charakteristik des bekannten Standes der TechnikCharacteristic of the known prior art

Eine derartige Wasserrutsche zeigt die DE-B Nr. 2702005, die eine schraubenförmig ansteigende Rutschbahn aus einzelnen Bahnabschnitten beschreibt. Bei dieser Ausführung werden die Stützen durch Quer- und Längsträger verbunden, und die Kragträger sind in verschiedenen Höhen an den notgedrungen ebenfalls im wesentlichen der Raumkurve der Rutschbahn folgenden Längsträgern befestigt, wobei jeder Kragträger den Verbindungsbereich zweier Bahnabschnitte stützt. Jede andere Linienführung der Rutschbahn vergrössert diese aus den Längsträgern sich ergebenden Probleme noch, da diese dann zwischen den einzelnen Stützen jeweils unterschiedlich gekrümmt werden müssen.Such a water slide is shown in DE-B No. 2702005, which describes a helically rising slide from individual track sections. In this embodiment, the supports are connected by cross members and longitudinal members, and the cantilevers are also attached at different heights to the longitudinal members, which essentially also follow the spatial curve of the slide, each cantilever supporting the connecting region of two web sections. Any other line of the slide increases these problems arising from the side members, since they then have to be curved differently between the individual supports.

Eine weitere Wasserrutsche ist aus der DE-A Nr. 2757945 zu entnehmen, die eine schraubenförmig ansteigende Rutschbahn aus einzelnen Bahnabschnitten beschreibt. Als Tragkonstruktion sind mehrere Stützen vorgesehen, von denen radial jeweils V-förmige Kragträger abstehen. Die Kragträger stützen bogenförmige Längsträger, auf denen die Bahnabschnitte verlegt sind. Eine derartige Tragkonstruktion erfordert einen erheblichen Material- und Herstellungsaufwand, vor allem aufgrund der durch die Kragträger gehaltenen Längsträger, die aufgrund der schraubenförmigen Anordnung entsprechend gekrümmt werden müssen.Another water slide can be found in DE-A No. 2757945, which describes a helically rising slide from individual track sections. Several supports are provided as a supporting structure, from each of which radially project V-shaped cantilever beams. The cantilevers support arched longitudinal beams on which the web sections are laid. Such a supporting structure requires considerable expenditure in terms of material and manufacture, above all due to the longitudinal beams held by the cantilever beams, which have to be curved accordingly due to the helical arrangement.

Schliesslich zeigt auch noch die US-A Nr. 1347968 eine Rutschbahn mit Fahrzeugen, deren gebogene Bahnabschnitte um eine zentrale Stütze geführt sind. Jeder Verbindungsbereich zweier Bahnabschnitte ist einerseits über eine waagrechte Verspannung und andererseits über eine unterkrägige Strebe mit der zentralen Stütze verbunden, die aus mehreren ineinandergesteckten Elementen besteht. Als Einsteckbegrenzung jedes Elementes dienen Flansche, an denen die Streben und Verspannungen fixiert sind. Dadurch ist die Linienführung und das Gefälle der Bahnabschnitte weitgehend beschränkt.Finally, US-A No. 1347968 also shows a slide with vehicles, the curved track sections of which are guided around a central support. Each connection area of two track sections is connected on the one hand by a horizontal bracing and on the other hand by means of a lower-braced strut to the central support, which consists of several nested elements. Flanges on which the struts and braces are fixed serve as the insertion limit of each element. As a result, the lines and the gradient of the track sections are largely restricted.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine derartige Wasserrutsche konstruktiv zu vereinfachen, so dass einerseits ein geringerer Materialbedarf und eine wirtschaftlichere Herstellung gegeben sind, und andererseits jede beliebige Linienführung mit wenigen, immer gleich gestalteten Bauteilen möglich wird.The invention has now set itself the task of structurally simplifying such a water slide, so that, on the one hand, less material is required and production is more economical, and, on the other hand, any line layout is possible with a few, always identical components.

Darlegung des Wesens der ErfindungState the nature of the invention

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass zwischen jedem Kragträger, der radial von einer Stütze absteht, und der Stütze ein oberkrägiges Abspannelement angeordnet ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that an upper-anchored guying element is arranged between each cantilever beam which projects radially from a support and the support.

Nach der erfindungsgemässen Lösung werden also einerseits Längsträger zwischen den Stützen und andererseits Längsträger an den freien Enden der Kragträger dadurch erübrigt, dass jeder der Kragträger, der ausschliesslich einen Verbindungsbereich zweier Bahnabschnitte stützt, direkt von einer Stütze absteht. Die oberkrägige Abspannung erlaubt gegebenenfalls auch grössere Ausladungen der Kragträger, wie sie bei weitläufigen Anlagen denkbar sind.According to the solution according to the invention, therefore, on the one hand, longitudinal beams between the supports and, on the other hand, longitudinal beams at the free ends of the cantilever beams are dispensed with in that each of the cantilever beams, which exclusively supports a connection area between two web sections, projects directly from a support. The upper-angled guying also allows larger cantilevers, as are conceivable in large systems.

Unter oberkrägig wird dabei verstanden, dass die Abspannelemente sich vom Kragträger schräg nach oben zur Befestigung der Stütze erstrecken.Top-cantilever is understood here to mean that the bracing elements extend obliquely upward from the cantilever beam for fastening the support.

Um die Kragträger in jeder gewünschten Höhe an den Stützen anbringen zu können, sieht eine weitere Ausführung der Erfindung vor, dass an der Stütze höhenverstellbare Befestigungsteile für jeden Kragträger und das ihm zugeordnete Abspannelement angeordnet sind. Als Befestigungsteile eignen sich beispielsweise zylindrische Rohrstükke oderAnkerplatten, die in der jeweiligen Höhe an der Säule verschweisst, vernietet oder verschraubt werden.In order to be able to attach the cantilever beams to the supports at any desired height, a further embodiment of the invention provides that height-adjustable fastening parts for each cantilever beam and the anchoring element assigned to it are arranged on the support. Suitable fastening parts are, for example, cylindrical pipe pieces or anchor plates which are welded, riveted or screwed to the column at the respective height.

Die Befestigungsteile für die Abspannelemente weisen eine seitlich abstehende Befestigungslasche auf, an der das Abspannelement angelenkt wird. Es ist dabei auch möglich, die Abspannelemente für mehrere unmittelbar aufeinanderfolgende Kragträger an einem einzigen Befestigungsteil mit mehreren Befestigungslaschen zu verspannen. Beispielsweise kann ein zylindrisches Rohrstück am oberen Ende einer Stütze angeordnet werden und in diesem Fall miteinerabdeckplatteversehen sein, die auf der Stütze aufliegt.The fastening parts for the guy elements have a laterally projecting fastening tab to which the guy element is articulated. It is also possible to brace the anchoring elements for several cantilever beams immediately following one another on a single fastening part with a plurality of fastening lugs. For example, a cylindrical piece of tubing may be placed at the top of a support and in this case may be provided with a cover plate which rests on the support.

Da am Kragträger nahe dem freien Endbereich vorzugsweise ein verschiebbarer Befestigungsteil für das insbesondere längenveränderbare Abspannelement angeordnet ist, ist es auch möglich, bei nicht kreisbogenförmigen Bahnabschnitten, bei denen sich die Distanz zur Stütze ändert, Kragträger gleicher Länge zu verwenden und die Stützglieder mit unterschiedlichen Abständen von der Stütze vorzusehen. Hiezu ist es weiters von Vorteil, wenn zumindest der Endbereich jedes Kragträgers rohrförmig ausgebildet ist und das Stützglied für den Verbindungsbereich zweier Bahnabschnitte eine den rohrförmigen Bereich des Kragträgers umfassende längsverschiebbare Manschette aufweist.Since a displaceable fastening part is preferably arranged on the cantilever beam near the free end area for the in particular length-adjustable guy element, it is also possible to use cantilever beams of the same length in the case of non-arcuate track sections in which the distance to the support changes, and the support members with different distances from to provide the support. For this purpose, it is also advantageous if at least the end region of each cantilever is tubular and the support member for the connecting region of two web sections has a longitudinally displaceable sleeve which encompasses the tubular region of the cantilever.

Zur Einstellung der Längsneigung der Bahnabschnitte kann weiters vorgesehen sein, dass das Stützglied um die Längsachse des Kragträgers schwenkbar angeordnet ist, wodurch das gesamte Stützglied eingerichtet werden kann. In einer weiteren Ausführung ist vorzugsweise am Stützglied ein etwa U-förmig gebogener Halteteil angeordnet, wobei zur Einstellung der Seitenneigung vorgesehen ist, dass das Stützglied ein Schwenklager aufweist, dessen Schwenkachse senkrecht zur Längsachse des Kragträgers ausgerichtet ist und auf dem ein parallel zum Kragträger angeordneter Halteteil für den Verbindungsbereich der beiden Bahnabschnitte verschwenkbar ist.To adjust the longitudinal inclination of the web sections, it can further be provided that the support member is arranged to be pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the cantilever, whereby the entire support member can be set up. In a further embodiment, an approximately U-shaped holding part is preferably arranged on the support member, it being provided for adjusting the side inclination that the support member has a pivot bearing whose pivot axis is perpendicular to the Longitudinal axis of the cantilever is aligned and on which a holding part arranged parallel to the cantilever is pivotable for the connection area of the two web sections.

Daraus ergibt sich, dass zur Aufhängung von kreisbogenförmigen Bahnabschnitten, deren Stossstellen immer etwa radial zu einer Stütze ausgerichtet sind, nur wenige, unterschiedliche Bauteile unabhängig von der Anordnung der Bahnabschnitte verwendet werden können, da die die Stossstellen stützenden Halteteile in die jeweils erforderliche Lage durch Verschieben oder Verdrehen des Stützgliedes bzw. Verdrehen des Halteteiles selbst gebracht werden können. Zum Ausgleich von kleinen, baulich bedingten Ungenauigkeiten kann weiters vorgesehen sein, dass der Halteteil auf einem auf dem Schwenklager längsverschiebbaren Gleitschuh angeordnet ist. Um nun diese Bauelemente (Kragträger, Abspannelement, Stützglieder und Halteteile) auch bei nicht kreisbogenförmigen Bahnabschnitten einsetzen zu können, bei denen die Stossstellen gegebenenfalls nicht radial zu einer Stütze ausgerichtet sind, ist in einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung vorgesehen, dass der Halteteil um ein zweites Schwenklager verdrehbar ist, dessen Achse sowohl senkrecht zur Schwenkachse des Stützgliedes als auch senkrecht zur Längsachse des Kragträgers ausgerichtet ist.It follows from this that only a few different components can be used for hanging circular arc-shaped track sections, the joints of which are always aligned approximately radially to a support, regardless of the arrangement of the track sections, since the holding parts supporting the joints are moved to the required position or twisting the support member or twisting the holding part itself can be brought. To compensate for small, structurally related inaccuracies, it can further be provided that the holding part is arranged on a sliding shoe which can be displaced longitudinally on the pivot bearing. In order to be able to use these components (cantilever, bracing element, support members and holding parts) even in non-circular path sections, where the joints may not be aligned radially to a support, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment that the holding part is arranged around a second pivot bearing is rotatable, the axis of which is oriented both perpendicular to the pivot axis of the support member and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cantilever.

Jeder vorzugsweise U-förmig gebogene, der Rinnenform der Bahnabschnitte angepasste Halteteil kann nach einer weiteren Ausführung der Erfindung zumindest Abschnitte mit U-förmigem Querschnitt aufweisen und an den Enden zweier Bahnabschnitte vorgesehene Flansche umfassen, wobei parallel zur Rutschfläche der Bahnabschnitte sich erstreckende Verbindungselemente angeordnet sind, die die Flansche der Bahnabschnitte und die Seitenstege der im Querschnitt U-förmigen Abschnitte der Halteteile durchsetzen. Zum Ausgleich von temperaturbedingten Längenänderungen der vorzugsweise aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff bestehenden Bahnabschnitte kann weiters vorgesehen sein, dass zwischen den Flanschen der Bahnabschnitte und/ oder zumindest im Bereich jedes Verbindungselementes zwischen jedem Flansch und dem zugeordneten Seitensteg des Halteteiles ein elastischer Körper angeordnet ist. Zusätzlich ist auch eine Überlappung der Bahnabschnitte möglich, um eine möglichst ungestörte Rutschfläche zu erzielen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, each holding part which is preferably bent in a U-shape and adapted to the channel shape of the track sections can have at least sections with a U-shaped cross section and comprise flanges provided at the ends of two track sections, connecting elements extending parallel to the sliding surface of the track sections being arranged, which penetrate the flanges of the track sections and the side webs of the cross-sectionally U-shaped sections of the holding parts. To compensate for temperature-related changes in length of the web sections, which are preferably made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, it can further be provided that an elastic body is arranged between the flanges of the web sections and / or at least in the region of each connecting element between each flange and the associated side web of the holding part. In addition, an overlap of the web sections is also possible in order to achieve a sliding surface that is as undisturbed as possible.

Beschreibung eines bevorzugten AusführungsbeispielesDescription of a preferred embodiment

Eine erfindungsgemässe Wasserrutsche besteht gemäss Fig. 1 und 2 aus mindestens einer Rutschbahn 1, die zumindest teilweise von säulenartigen Stützen 2 getragen wird. Sieführt von einem Startplatz oder Startturm 4 in ein Wasserbecken 3 und wird fortlaufend von Wasser bespült. Jede Rutschbahn 1 setzt sich aus Bahnabschnitten 20 zusammen, die beispielsweise kreisbogenförmig, aber auch gerade ausgebildet sein können. Jede Stossstelle 21 zweier Bahnabschnitte 20 (Fig. 5) wird von einem Kragträger 5 unterstützt, der sich von einer Stütze 2 radial zu deren Achse Aerstreckt und mittels eines oberkrägigen Abspannelementes 7 (Fig. 3) an der Stütze 2 gehalten ist. Die Befestigungsteile 6,8 für den Kragträger 5 und das Abspannelement 7 sind beispielsweise durch zylindrische Rohrstücke oder Hülsen gebildet, die in jeder gewünschten Höhe auf der Stütze fixiert werden können (Pfeile in Fig. 3). Die Rutschbahn 1 kann daher an einer Stütze 2 mehretagig vorbeigeführtwerden. Wird ein Befestigungsteil 8' für ein Abspannelement 7 am oberen Ende der Stütze 2 angeordnet, so kann er topfförmig sein und aus einer Hülse mit daran befestigter Abdeckplatte bestehen. Die Abdeckplatte liegt in diesem Fall stirnseitig an der Stütze 2 auf. Jeder Befestigungsteil 8, 8' weist zumindest eine seitlich abstehende Befestigungslasche 10 auf, in der das Abspannelement 7 angelenkt ist. Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, können an einem Befestigungsteil 8, 8' auch mehrere Befestigungslaschen 10 für mehrere Abspannelemente 7 angeordnet werden. Als Befestigungsteile 6,8 können auch Ankerplatten verwendet werden, die mit an den Stützen angeschweissten Halteplatten verbunden werden.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a water slide according to the invention consists of at least one slide 1, which is at least partially supported by columnar supports 2. It leads from a launch site or launch tower 4 into a water basin 3 and is continuously flushed with water. Each slide 1 is composed of track sections 20, which can be circular, for example, but also straight. Each butt joint 21 of two web sections 20 (FIG. 5) is supported by a cantilever beam 5, which extends radially from a support 2 to its axis and is held on the support 2 by means of an upper-angled guy element 7 (FIG. 3). The fastening parts 6, 8 for the cantilever beam 5 and the guy element 7 are formed, for example, by cylindrical tube pieces or sleeves which can be fixed on the support at any desired height (arrows in FIG. 3). The slide 1 can therefore be guided past a support 2 over several days. If a fastening part 8 'for an anchoring element 7 is arranged at the upper end of the support 2, it can be cup-shaped and consist of a sleeve with a cover plate attached to it. In this case, the cover plate rests on the end face of the support 2. Each fastening part 8, 8 'has at least one laterally projecting fastening tab 10, in which the guy element 7 is articulated. As can be seen from FIG. 3, a plurality of fastening tabs 10 for a plurality of bracing elements 7 can also be arranged on a fastening part 8, 8 ′. Anchor plates can also be used as fastening parts 6, 8 which are connected to holding plates welded to the supports.

Die Kragträger 5 sind als zylindrische Rohre ausgebildet, auf denen als Befestigungsteil für das Abspannelement 7 jeweils eine Hülse 9 längsverschiebbar angeordnet ist, die eine Befestigungslasche 12 aufweist (Fig. 4). In dieser Befestigungslasche 12 ist das andere Ende des vorzugsweise längsverstellbaren Abspannelementes 7 eingehängt. Die Höhenverstellbarkeit der Befestigungsteile 6,8 und, im Falle von zylindrischen Rohrstükken, deren Drehbarkeit an der Stütze 2, die Längsverschiebbarkeit der Hülse 9 am Kragträger 5 und die Schwenkbarkeit des Abspannelementes 7 um die Gelenkzapfen 11, 13 in den Befestigungslaschen 10, 12 ermöglichen eine beliebige Linienführung der Rutschbahn, von der auch die Anzahl der an einer Stütze 2 angeordneten Kragträger 5 abhängt.The cantilever beams 5 are designed as cylindrical tubes, on each of which a sleeve 9, which has a fastening tab 12, is arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable as a fastening part for the guy element 7 (FIG. 4). The other end of the preferably longitudinally adjustable guy element 7 is suspended in this fastening tab 12. The height adjustability of the fastening parts 6, 8 and, in the case of cylindrical tubular pieces, their rotatability on the support 2, the longitudinal displaceability of the sleeve 9 on the cantilever beam 5 and the pivotability of the guy element 7 about the pivot pins 11, 13 in the fastening tabs 10, 12 allow one arbitrary lines of the slide, on which the number of cantilevers 5 arranged on a support 2 also depends.

Entsprechend den Fig. 4 und 5 ist im Endbereich 14 jedes Kragträgers 5 ein Stützglied 15 in Richtung der Pfeile E längsverschiebbar angeordnet. Das Stützglied 15 ist weiters um die Längsachse B des Kragträgers 5 in Richtung der Pfeile F verschwenkbar, wodurch die Längsneigung der Bahnabschnitte 20 eingestellt werden kann. Oberhalb der den Kragträger 5 umschliessenden Manschette des Stützgliedes 15 ist dies mit einem Schwenklager 16 in Form eines Bolzens versehen, um dessen Achse C ein Gleitschuh 17 schwenkbar ist (Pfeile G), der zusätzlich noch in Richtung der Pfeile H auf dem Schwenklager 16 verschiebbar ist. Das Schwenklager 16 dient zur Herstellung der Seitenneigung der Bahnabschnitte 20 und die Verschiebbarkeit des Gleitschuhs 17 zum Ausgleich geringfügiger konstruktionsbedingter Ungenauigkeiten.4 and 5 in the end region 14 of each cantilever 5 is a support member 15 in rich device of the arrows E arranged longitudinally. The support member 15 is also pivotable about the longitudinal axis B of the cantilever 5 in the direction of the arrows F, whereby the longitudinal inclination of the web sections 20 can be adjusted. Above the cuff of the support member 15 surrounding the cantilever 5, this is provided with a pivot bearing 16 in the form of a bolt, about the axis C of which a slide shoe 17 can be pivoted (arrows G), which is additionally displaceable in the direction of the arrows H on the pivot bearing 16 . The pivot bearing 16 serves to produce the lateral inclination of the track sections 20 and the displaceability of the sliding shoe 17 to compensate for slight design-related inaccuracies.

Mit dem Gleitschuh 17 sind Halteteile 18 verbunden, wobei diese Verbindung dann starr sein kann, wenn die Bahnabschnitte20 ausschliesslich kreisbogenförmig ausgebildet sind. Werden auch nicht kreisbogenförmige Bahnabschnitte 20 von den Kragträgern 5 getragen, so ist gemäss Fig. 7 auch die Verbindung zwischen dem Gleitschuh 17 und dem Halteteil 18 gelenkig ausgeführt. Hiezu ist an dem Gleitschuh 17 ein weiteres Schwenklager 19 vorgesehen, in dem der Halteteil 18 um die Achse D verdrehbar ist, die senkrecht zu den Achsen C und B ausgerichtet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine beliebige Einstellung der Halteteile 18 in bezug auf die Stütze 2.Holding parts 18 are connected to the slide shoe 17, this connection being able to be rigid if the web sections 20 are designed exclusively in the form of a circular arc. If non-circular path sections 20 are also carried by the cantilever beams 5, the connection between the slide shoe 17 and the holding part 18 is also articulated according to FIG. 7. For this purpose, a further pivot bearing 19 is provided on the slide shoe 17, in which the holding part 18 can be rotated about the axis D, which is oriented perpendicular to the axes C and B. This enables any adjustment of the holding parts 18 with respect to the support 2.

Jeder Halteteil 18 dient zur Unterstützung einer Stossstelle 21 zweier Bahnabschnitte 20 und ist, etwa der Krümmung der rinnenförmigen Bahnabschnitte 20 angepasst, im wesentlichen U-förmig gebogen. Zumindest Abschnitte 22 des U-förmig gebogenen Halteteiles 18 sind auch im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet (Fig. 6). Die Bahnabschnitte 20 weisen an ihren Enden Flansche 23 auf, zwischen denen eine dauerelastische Dichtungsmasse 26 angeordnet ist. Die Flansche 23 zweier Bahnabschnitte 20 greifen zwischen die Seitenstege25 der im Querschnitt U-förmigen Abschnitte 22 des Halteteiles 18 ein und sind mit diesen durch Verbindungselemente 24 verbunden, die die Seitenstege 25 und die Flansche 23 durchsetzen. Zwischen jedem Seitensteg 25 und einem Flansch 23 sind ebenfalls elastische Körper 27 angeordnet, die der Schwindungsbekämpfung, der Geräuschdämpfung und dem Dehnungsausgleichder Bahnabschnitte 20 dienen.Each holding part 18 serves to support an abutment point 21 of two web sections 20 and is, for example, adapted to the curvature of the trough-shaped web sections 20, essentially U-shaped. At least sections 22 of the U-shaped holding part 18 are also U-shaped in cross section (FIG. 6). The web sections 20 have flanges 23 at their ends, between which a permanently elastic sealing compound 26 is arranged. The flanges 23 of two web sections 20 engage between the side webs 25 of the cross-sectionally U-shaped sections 22 of the holding part 18 and are connected to them by connecting elements 24 which pass through the side webs 25 and the flanges 23. Elastic bodies 27 are also arranged between each side web 25 and a flange 23 and are used to combat shrinkage, to dampen noise and to compensate for the stretching of the web sections 20.

Die Bahnabschnitte 20, die insbesondere aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff hergestellt sind, können in einer weiteren Ausführung gemäss Fig. 8 auch überlappt werden. Hiezu ist der untere Flansch 23 jedes Bahnabschnittes 20 nicht unmittelbaram Ende, sondern um den Überlappungsbereich 28 rückversetzt ausgebildet, und im oberen Randbereich des anderen Bahnabschnittes 20 ist eine Kröpfung 29 vorgesehen, um einen stufenlosen Übergang der Rutschfläche zu erzielen.The web sections 20, which are made in particular from glass fiber-reinforced plastic, can also be overlapped in a further embodiment according to FIG. 8. For this purpose, the lower flange 23 of each web section 20 is not set directly at the end, but is set back from the overlap region 28, and a crank 29 is provided in the upper edge region of the other web section 20 in order to achieve a smooth transition of the sliding surface.

Durch die universale Verstellbarkeit und einfache Konstruktion können Wasserrutschen in beliebiger Linienführung gefertigt werden, wofür nur wenige, jeweils gleichartige Bauteile (Stützen, Kragträger, Abspannelemente und Stützglieder) benötigt werden.Due to the universal adjustability and simple construction, water slides can be made in any line, for which only a few, similar components (supports, cantilevers, guy elements and support members) are required.
