Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carrousel comprising:
  • Such a carrousel is known from NL-A-8,500,983.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the attractiveness can be greatly increased in a simple manner.
  • the passenger seating facility is provided according to the invention with a number of benches which are suspended in a hinged manner.
  • the resultant of the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the column, the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the passenger seating facility and the force of gravity takes the benches into gradually changing, more or less lying positions, with the result that persons sitting on the benches can observe the surroundings in very varying sitting or lying positions.
  • the passenger seating facility preferably has a number of arms extending radially from the column, and a number of benches are suspended between the ends of each successive set of arms.
  • a tower which seesaws about a horizontal axis and has a passenger seating facility at one end and a counterweight at the other end is known from US-A-2,172,451.
  • the passenger seating facility is a gondola which can rotate in two directions at right angles to each other.
  • the column can seesaw, but cannot rotate.
  • a carrousel with an arm which can swivel about a horizontal axis by means of a hydraulic cylinder, which arm has fitted on it a revolving frame having at one end hingedly suspended gondolas in which passengers stand, is also known from DE-A-3,538,398.
  • the revolving frame carries out no rotary movements about two axes at right angles to each other.
  • the carrousel shown comprises a number of supporting legs 1 extending upwards at an angle from anchoring blocks 2 to a rotatably mounted horizontal shaft 3 which can be rotated by means of a drive unit 4.
  • a column 5 is fixed on the horizontal shaft 3, which column can consequently rotate about a horizontal axis.
  • a bush 5a Supported at one end of the column 5 is a bush 5a to which a number of radially extending arms 6 are fixed.
  • the drive means 7 By means of the drive means 7 the bush 5a with arms 6 can be rotated about the central axis of the bush, which coincides with the central axis of the column 5.
  • both the drive means 4 and the drive means 7 comprise an electric motor 8, 9 respectively which drives a gear wheel meshing with a gear ring 10, 11 respectively, which gear ring is fixed to the shaft 3 or the bush 5a.
  • Other drive mechanisms are also possible.
  • Benches 12 are hingedly suspended between the ends of the arms 6.
  • a counterweight 13 is fitted at the end of the column lying opposite the bush 5.
  • a platform can be used instead of the arms 6.
  • the column or swivelling arm 5 can also be disposed at an angle.
  • the supporting structure 5a, 6 can be fixed in such a way to the column 5 that said structure takes up a horizontal position for boarding and alighting.
