Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des équipements de loisirs, en particulier des équipements d'ai­res de jeu pour enfants, et a pour objet un jeu téléphérique monorail.The present invention relates to the field of leisure equipment, in particular playground equipment for children, and relates to a monorail cable car game.

Les équipements d'aires de jeu existant actuelle­ment sont, soit sous forme de dispositifs fixes que les en­fants peuvent escalader ou occuper, soit sous forme de dis­positifs présentant au moins un élément mobile tel qu'une balançoire ou un manège.The currently existing playground equipment is either in the form of fixed devices that children can climb or occupy, or in the form of devices having at least one mobile element such as a swing or a carousel.

Ces équipements connus ne permettent, cependant, pas la réalisation de mouvements plus complexes, à savoir, par exemple, de déplacements suivant plusieurs directions, éventuellement combinés avec des changements de niveau.These known devices do not, however, allow the realization of more complex movements, namely, for example, displacements in several directions, possibly combined with level changes.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un jeu téléphérique monorail, caractérise en ce qu'il est essentiellement constitué par des éléments de rail de guidage modulaires fixés à une ossature porteuse et reliés entre eux de manière à former un circuit fermé, par des perches mobiles guidées à une extrémité dans le circuit formé par les éléments de rail et munies à leur autre extrémité d'une assise pour un utili­sateur, par une aire de départ surélevée.It has, in effect, a monorail cable car game, characterized in that it is essentially constituted by modular guide rail elements fixed to a load-bearing framework and connected together so as to form a closed circuit, by poles mobile guided at one end in the circuit formed by the rail elements and provided at their other end with a seat for a user, by a raised starting area.

L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la des­cription ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans les­quels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation du jeu conforme à l'in­vention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan suivant la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale montrant le guidage d'une perche, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue en élévation latérale et en coupe suivant la figure 3.
The invention will be better understood thanks to the description below, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of the game according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a plan view according to Figure 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the guiding of a pole, and
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevation view in section according to FIG. 3.

Conformément à l'invention, et comme le montrent, plus particulièrement, à titre d'exemple, les figures 1 et 2 des dessins annexés, le jeu téléphérique monorail est essen­ tiellement constitué par des éléments de rail de guidage modulaires 1 qui sont fixés à une ossature porteuse 2 et qui sont reliés entre eux de manière à former un circuit formé dans lequel sont guidées par une de leurs extrémités des perches mobiles 3 qui sont munies à leur autre extrémité d'une assise 4 pour un utilisateur, par une aire de départ surélevée 5.According to the invention, and as shown more particularly, by way of example, Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, the monorail cable car game is essential. tiially constituted by modular guide rail elements 1 which are fixed to a supporting frame 2 and which are connected together so as to form a circuit formed in which are guided by one of their ends mobile poles 3 which are provided at their other end of a seat 4 for a user, by a raised starting area 5.

L'ossature porteuse 2 du type portique est consti­tuée par des poteaux 6, scellés sur des plots en béton au moyen de chevilles expansives métalliques, et reliés entre eux à leur extrémité supérieure au moyen de traverses 7 de support des éléments de rail 1 au moyen d'étriers connus (non représentés), ces traverses 7 étant fixées sur les extrémités des poteaux à des niveaux différents, en fonction de la pente à conférer aux éléments de rails, au moyen de colliers 9, par des panneaux 10, formant barrières de sécu­rité et contreventement, montés au moyen de colliers 11 entre les poteaux 6 à leur base, et par des chaînes de déli­mitation 8, et les poteaux 6 sont munis, en outre, d'un fourreau 6′ en une matière d'enrobage souple. Les panneaux 10 sont avantageusement sous forme de panneaux de bois ou de panneaux mixtes bois et acier, et participent à l'obtention d'une bonne rigidité de toute l'ossature 2 par la réalisa­tion d'un contreventement, tout en améliorant son esthéti­que. En outre, du fait de ce contreventement, les massifs de fondation des poteaux 6 peuvent être prévus de dimensions relativement faibles.The supporting frame 2 of the gantry type is constituted by posts 6, sealed on concrete studs by means of expansive metal dowels, and connected together at their upper end by means of crosspieces 7 for supporting the rail elements 1 by means known stirrups (not shown), these crosspieces 7 being fixed on the ends of the posts at different levels, depending on the slope to be given to the rail elements, by means of collars 9, by panels 10, forming barriers safety and bracing, mounted by means of collars 11 between the posts 6 at their base, and by delimitation chains 8, and the posts 6 are provided, in addition, with a sheath 6 ′ made of a flexible coating material. The panels 10 are advantageously in the form of wooden panels or mixed wood and steel panels, and participate in obtaining good rigidity of the entire framework 2 by making a bracing, while improving its aesthetics. In addition, due to this bracing, the foundations of the posts 6 can be provided with relatively small dimensions.

Enfin, les traverses de support 7 qui relient les poteaux 6 entre eux par paires, en formant des portiques, permettent, par variation de leur niveau de fixation sur les extrémités desdits poteaux 6 de varier ou de rectifier les pentes des éléments de rail 1 et ainsi les vitesses des per­ches 3 qui y sont guidées.Finally, the support crosspieces 7 which connect the posts 6 to each other in pairs, forming gantries, allow, by varying their level of attachment to the ends of said posts 6 to vary or correct the slopes of the rail elements 1 and thus the speeds of the poles 3 which are guided there.

Les perches mobiles 3 sont pourvues chacune, à leur extrémité guidée dans les éléments de rail 1, d'un train de roulement 11 présentant des galets 12 circulant sur les bords correspondant du rail 1 et sur lequel est articu­lée ladite extrémité de la perche 3 (figure 3).The mobile poles 3 are each provided, at their guided end in the rail elements 1, with a running gear 11 having rollers 12 circulating on the corresponding edges of the rail 1 and on which said end of the pole 3 is articulated ( figure 3).

L'aire de départ surélevée 5 est constituée par une plate-forme de départ mixte en bois, avec ossature mé­tallique 13 et par un escalier d'accès 14 prolongé par un palier, des panneaux mixtes bois et acier délimitant l'aire 5. En outre, une chicane formée par un panneau 15 et par deux limiteurs de gabarit 16 est prévue devant l'aire de dé­part 5. Ainsi, chaque utilisateur est obligé de lâcher sa perche et de suivre un itinéraire de dégagement avant d'ef­fectuer un nouveau passage, de sorte que les perches 3 ne pourront pas être appropriées par les utilisateurs. Les limi­teurs de gabarit 16 sont destinés à ne permettre que le pas­sage d'une perche 3.The elevated starting area 5 is constituted by a mixed starting platform in wood, with metal frame 13 and by an access staircase 14 extended by a landing, mixed wood and steel panels delimiting area 5. In in addition, a baffle formed by a panel 15 and by two gauge limiters 16 is provided in front of the departure area 5. Thus, each user is forced to drop his pole and follow a route of clearance before making a new passage , so that the poles 3 cannot be appropriated by the users. The size limiters 16 are intended to allow only the passage of a pole 3.

La sécurité contre les chutes accidentelles est assurée par les fourreaux 6′ et au moyen de matelas souples recouvrant le sol sous le parcours des perches, ou simple­ment par prévision d'une épaisse couche de sable, tandis que la sécurité des personnes étrangères au jeu est assurée par les panneaux 10 et les chaînes de délimitation rapportés entre les poteaux 6.Safety against accidental falls is ensured by the 6 ′ sleeves and by means of flexible mattresses covering the ground under the path of the poles, or simply by forecasting a thick layer of sand, while the safety of people foreign to the game is provided by the panels 10 and the delimitation chains attached between the posts 6.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un jeu particulièrement attractif, pouvant être implanté dans des parcs de loisirs sur des terrains à relief mouve­menté ou non. En outre, ce jeu peut être évolutif et son tracé peut être variable.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to make a particularly attractive game, which can be set up in leisure parks on terrain with eventful relief or not. Furthermore, this game can be scalable and its layout can be variable.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mo­de de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments, ou par substitu­tion d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements, or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
