Definitions

  • the invention relates to an amusement ride according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such rides are already known. With them, the passenger receptacle is assigned to the end of the cantilever arm which can be driven in an approximately vertical plane so that it can be moved essentially in accordance with the cantilever circular path. This means that only a very limited impression of movement can be conveyed to the passengers.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an amusement ride that allows a variety of movement states of the passenger reception and enables novel sensations of perception for the passengers.
  • the object is achieved in that the passenger accommodation is movable on at least one further circular path in the region of the end of the cantilever arm. This presents passengers with increased driving pleasure.
  • the passenger can be moved on an approximately cycloidal path if the passenger receptacle can be moved on a circular path about an additional axis of rotation which runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the cantilever circular path.
  • a ring track is arranged on at least one end of the cantilever arm.
  • the ring track forms a lane for passenger accommodation.
  • the passenger intake can run all the way along this circular track, thereby offering the passengers an additional looping effect (for looping on the cantilever orbit).
  • a drive unit is to be used for the already mentioned as well as a further additional movement of the passenger receptacle, it is expedient to connect the ring track firmly to the end of the cantilever arm. The passenger intake can then be easily moved along the circular path by means of the drive.
  • the ring track is advantageously articulated on the cantilever arm in a relatively movable manner.
  • the passenger intake is connected to the circular path in such a way that it is moved along the circular path by the ring path thus driven in rotation.
  • the variety of movements of the passenger accommodation is further expanded if the passenger accommodation is also movable about its own axis.
  • This axis is arranged in such a way that it defines the axis of rotation around which the passenger accommodation moves on the ring path. cuts.
  • the passenger intake can thus be moved on two different circular paths in addition to the cantilever circular path and thus in almost any plane, the movement on the respective circular path being able to take place in both directions and also independently of one another.
  • a variety of movement states can be generated, which are expediently controlled on the basis of empirical determinations with the aim of optimizing the pleasure effects for the passenger.
  • An amusement ride 10 (FIG. 1) has a frame 11 (FIG. 7) which carries a cantilever arm 14 with at least one passenger receptacle 17 between two bearing blocks 12 which can be rotated or pivoted about a horizontal axis of rotation 13.
  • the rotational movement of the cantilever arm 14 in a vertical plane takes place by means of a drive (not shown) which is assigned to the frame 11.
  • the frame 11 can be designed for both stationary and mobile operation of the ride 10.
  • the axis of rotation 13 extends approximately centrally through the cantilever arm 14.
  • the passenger receptacle 17 with a plurality of seats 18 is assigned to a free end of the cantilever arm 14.
  • the other end on the other hand, carries a counterweight 19 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, a (second) passenger receptacle 17 being able to be arranged instead at this end.
  • the passenger receptacle 17 can be moved along a ring track 20, namely along the inside of the ring track 20. This gives the passenger receptacle 17 a first additional movement to that of the cantilever arm 14. This additional movement takes place on a circular path around a further central axis 21. This rotary movement takes place at the end region of the cantilever arm 14 within the ring path 20.
  • the central axis 21 runs parallel to the axis of rotation 13 of the Cantilever arm 14, whereby the passenger receptacle 17 travels with the passengers as a result of the superposition of the movements of the cantilever arm 14 with the first additional movement in an approximately cycloidal path.
  • the ring track 20 is firmly connected to the end of the cantilever arm 14. Within and along the ring track 20, the passenger receptacle 17 is held so that it can be moved by means of supporting or supporting rollers 22, 57.
  • the passenger receptacle 17 is assigned a drive unit 23 which has a drive wheel 24 which abuts and rolls on the inner circumferential surface of the ring track 20.
  • the rollers 22, 57 are evenly distributed approximately triangularly on the circumference of the ring track 20.
  • a corner point of the triangle is formed by a support arm 56 of the passenger receptacle 17, which in the exemplary embodiment shown carries a plurality of rollers 57 at its free end.
  • the remaining rollers 22 are arranged to form two further corners of the triangle on opposite sides of a base plate 28 of the passenger receptacle 17. They can rest against both the outer and inner circumferential surface of the ring track 20 or can be held in a form-fitting manner, to a certain extent positively guided, in a guide groove (not shown) of the ring track 20. As a result, the rollers 22 form support points of the passenger receptacle 17 on the ring track 20.
  • the ring track 20 is formed by two parallel rings 25 (FIGS. 3 and 4), between which the passenger receptacle 17 is held approximately symmetrically.
  • the rings 25 form rails for the rollers 22 of the passenger receptacle 17, which span an (imaginary) cylindrical surface, the longitudinal central axis of which corresponds to the central axis 21 of the ring track 20.
  • the passenger receptacle 17 travels along the inside of the ring track 20 or the imaginary cylinder surface.
  • the extension arm 14 is pivoted out of its previously vertical position and on the other hand the passenger receptacle 17 is also moved within the ring track 20. It can be seen in Fig. 2 that the passenger shots 17 with the Passengers are moved on two different circular orbits of different diameters.
  • a further or second additional movement of the passenger receptacle 17 is provided in that the passenger receptacle 17 is also rotatable about an axis of rotation 27, quasi the axis of symmetry of the passenger receptacle 17 itself, for which purpose the drive unit 23 can also be used.
  • This rotary movement preferably does not carry out the entire passenger receptacle 17, but rather a base plate 28 carrying the seats 18. In any case, the passengers can thus be included in the movement of the extension arm 14 as well as the two additional movements of the passenger receptacle 17.
  • the axis of rotation 27 is arranged so that it intersects the central axis 21 about which the passenger receptacle 17 moves when it moves on the circular path along the ring path 20, preferably at right angles.
  • the most varied movement states can be achieved by the movement of the extension arm 14 and the two additional movements.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cantilever arm 29 which is held off-center from the axis of rotation 13 on the one hand and is provided with a particularly decorative, star-shaped annular path 30 on the other hand.
  • a corresponding counterweight 19 ensures that both arms of the extension arm 29 are in balance despite the eccentric arrangement of the axis of rotation 13.
  • FIG. 6 An alternative ride 31 is shown in FIG. 6. It differs from the ride 10 described above only in that the ring track 33 is arranged differently on the cantilever arm 34.
  • the ring track 33 is arranged to be relatively movable at the free end of a cantilever arm 34.
  • the passenger accommodation 32 is firmly connected to the ring track 33 so that it can be moved by the ring track 33.
  • the passenger accommodation 32 is by means of supports 35 on the Ringbahn 33 held.
  • three free rollers 37 are assigned to the free end of the cantilever arm 34, two of which abut or roll on the outer and outer surface of the ring track 33, at least one of which this rollers 37 is driven by a drive unit (not shown) assigned to the extension arm 34.
  • the second additional movement of the passenger receptacle 32 relative to the ring path 33 about an axis of rotation 54 is carried out by a drive unit 36 assigned to the passenger receptacle 32.
  • Another ride 38 according to FIG. 7 does not differ in terms of the two additional movements of the passenger receptacle 39 from the passenger shops 10 and 31 described above.
  • the end of the extension arm 40 is fork-shaped or provided with a fork 41. Between fork arms 42, the passenger seat 43 can be rotated about the axis of rotation 44, which connects the end regions of the fork arms 42, in accordance with the first additional movement.
  • the passenger receptacle 43 is also held in a swing-like manner by means of a suspension 45 on the axis of rotation 44.
  • the first additional movement of the passenger receptacle 43 takes place here about the axis of rotation 44.
  • the second additional movement takes place in that the passenger seat 43 or a base plate 46 thereof is rotated about an axis of rotation 47 by means of a drive unit 48.
  • a third additional movement occurs in the amusement ride 38 in that the passenger receptacle 43 can be rotated with the fork 41 about the end of the extension arm 40 by a drive unit (not shown).
  • the fork 41 is connected to a pivot 49 in the end of the extension arm 40 rotatably mounted. This rotary movement takes place about the longitudinal axis 50 of the extension arm 40.
  • the fork 41 can also be displaced along the longitudinal axis 50 in the pivot bearing, so that the diameter of the path which describes the passenger receptacle 43 on the cantilever circular path can be changed.
  • the ride 51 corresponds to the ride 31 with respect to the first two additional movements.
  • a third additional movement is also provided here, in that the end of the cantilever arm 52 rotatably holds the ring track 53, approximately analogously to the fork 41 of the ride 38 described above.
  • the ring track 53 can also be used on the longitudinal axis with the passenger accommodation not shown here 55 of the cantilever arm 52 can be displaced to change the diameter of the cantilever circular path.
  • the individual movements of the passenger recordings in particular the additional movements, can optionally be individually controlled by the passengers in the respective passenger recording, whereby the driving stimulus is further increased.
  • a particular driving stimulus arises when the additional movements, in particular the first and second additional movements, take place in opposite directions.
