- A wave making apparatus of a pool for surfing comprises a wave generating plate which is driven along a pool wall so that waves cannot be generated behind the wave generating plate if high waves are generated. In this case, the pool wall, along which the wave generating plate slides, is inclined so that turbulence can be produced in a deeper zone of water.

wave making apparatus 10 comprising awave generating plate 12 having a wave generating face 13 (front face of wave generating plate 12) which is inclined forward relative to the stationary upper surface of thewater 22 and means for drivingwave generating plate 12 alongwall 18,wall 18 being inclined backward relative to the center of the wave generating pool.

wall 18 backward relative to the center of the wave pool at an angle α of 30° to 50° relative to the vertical plane. If thewall 18 is inclined at less than 30°, smaller turbulence is produced in a deeper zone of water. If the wall is inclined at more than 50°, thewave generating plate 12 will be required to be too large. - A minimum clearance between
wave generating plate 12 andwall 18 is sufficient to permit moving of thewave generating plate 12. If necessary, a slide guide can be provided betweenwave generating plate 12 andwall 18 in order to carry the partial weight or buoyancy ofwave generating plate 12. - The lower end of
wave generating plate 12 is positioned at a height abovepool bottom 20 which is equal to about one-half of the stroke or greater than the stroke necessary to generate waves of desired height.

Thewave generating face 13 of thewave generating plate 12 is desired to be inclined toward the center of the pool at an angle β of 10° to 40° relative to the vertical plane. Thewave generating face 13 need not be flat; it may be curved, either convex or concave. The bottom face ofwave generating plate 12 is parallel toinclined wall 18. The top face ofwave generating plate 12 and the surface on which driveshaft 14 is mounted have no restriction on shape or orientation. In the embodiment of Fig. 1,wave generating plate 12 of a block shape having a rectangular section is used, but thewave generating plate 12 is not confined to the abovementioned shape. It is sufficient that thewave generating plate 12 has awave generating face 13 which is inclined forward. Awave generating plate 12 comprising a wave generating face, bottom face and an upper face and a wave generating plate of a shape of a thin plate having only a wave generating face can be used. - A drive means for

The drive unit coupled to driveshaft 14 may be hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical. The chain lines in Fig. 1 show thewave generating plate 12 in different positions, as driven by the drive means. - According to the wave making apparatus described above, when the
wave generating plate 12 is pushed into the water by being moved half a stroke downward alongwall 18 by the drive unit throughdrive shaft 14,wave generating face 13 ofwave generating plate 12 produces turbulence down to the deep zone in the water, thereby generating waves of desired height.

drive shaft 34 connected to thewave generating plate 12, thedrive shaft 34 having arack 26 thereon. The drive means further comprises apinion gear 28 engaged with therack 26. Adrive motor 35 is coupled to drivepinion gear 28, preferably through a reduction gearing (not shown). Mount 36 supports thedrive shaft 34 and thedrive motor 35 coupled to turn thepinion gear 28 for driving thewave generating plate 12 along a wall through therack gear 26 on thedrive shaft 34.

The pool of Fig. 5 includes two
wave making apparatuses 10a and 10b, which are thewave making apparatus 10 shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 4, the distance from the bottom ofpool 30 to the top surface of the water is indicated in parentheses. The bottom surface ofpool 30 is lowest in the central area and slopes up toward the pool sides. A wave making apparatus was arranged at each end of twowaterways pool 30. The waves generated bywave making apparatuses 10a and 10b pass through the tworespective waterways pool 30. As a result, high waves appropriate for surfing can be generated easily inpool 30, by means of thewave making apparatuses 10a and 10b. In the case of a wave making pool for surfing, the form ofwave 24 need not be sinusoidal.Waves 24 of high steepness ratio, which have peaked crests and flat troughs, are preferable. The drive unit for driving thewave generating plate 12 is not required to have a sophisticated sinusoidal motion control mechanism. A drive cycle range which cover a very limited range of the cycle is sufficient. - In a test example, the backward angle of inclination α of the
wall 18 was at 45°, and the angle of inclination β of thewave generating face 13 of thewave generating plate 12 was set at 30°. The reciprocating cycle of operation of the wave generating plate was between 2 and 6 seconds. The design criteria for the stroke of the wave generating plate (distance of movement) for a given depth of water is as follows: -
- The improved effects of the present invention are as follows:
- (a) The wave making apparatus can produce turbulence in a deep zone of water in comparison with prior art wave making apparatus. Therefore, high waves can be easily generated.
- (b) Any special wave absorbing work is not required because there is no surface of water behind the wave generating plate. Accordingly, the space around the wave making apparatus which is necessary for arranging said apparatus is reduced and, therefore, maneuverability for arranging the wave making apparatus increases.
- While the invention has been described above with respect to specific apparatus, it should be clear that various modifications and alternations can be made within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. For example, the drive means for driving the wave generating plates can be freely chosen, to drive the
wave generating plate 12, forward and backward (that is, "to and fro", substantially parallel to the surface of the rearwardlyinclined surface 18 of the pool.
