  • a (second) passenger accommodation 17 may be arranged can.
  • the passenger accommodation 17 is along a ring track 20 movable, on the inside of the ring track 20 along. This receives the passenger reception 17 a first additional movement to that of the cantilever arm 14. This additional movement takes place on a circular path about a further central axis 21. This rotary movement takes place at the end region of the cantilever arm 14 within the ring track 20.
  • the central axis 21 runs parallel to the axis of rotation 13 of the extension arm 14, whereby the passenger reception 17 with the passengers due to the superposition of the movements of the cantilever arm 14 with the first additional movement approximately cycloidal path leaves.
  • the ring track 20 is fixed to the end of the cantilever arm 14 connected. Within the ring track 20 and along this is the passenger accommodation 17 by means of load-bearing or supporting rollers 22, 57 movable held.
  • the passenger compartment 17 is a drive unit 23 assigned, which has a drive wheel 24, that on the inner lateral surface of the ring track 20 fits and rolls.
  • the rollers 22, 57 are uniformly approximately triangular distributed over the circumference of the ring track 20.
  • a corner point the triangle is formed by a Outrigger 56 of the passenger accommodation 17, which in the shown embodiment at its free end carries several rollers 57.
  • the remaining rollers 22 are on to form two more corners of the triangle opposite sides of a base plate 28 of the Passenger reception 17 arranged. You can both on the outer and inner surface of the ring track 20 concerns or form-fitting, so to speak positively guided in a guide groove, not shown the ring track 20 can be held. This will form the rollers 22 support points of the passenger accommodation 17 the Ringbahn 20.
  • the ring track 20 is formed by two parallel rings 25 formed (Fig. 3 and 4), between which the passenger reception 17 is kept approximately symmetrical.
  • the rings 25 form rails for the rollers 22 of the passenger accommodation 17, the (imaginary) cylinder surface span, the longitudinal central axis of the central axis 21 corresponds to the ring track 20.
  • Passenger reception 17 runs on the inside of the ring track 20 or imaginary cylinder surface along.
  • Another or second additional movement of the passenger reception 17 is given in that the passenger accommodation 17 also about an axis of rotation 27, so to speak Axis of symmetry of the passenger accommodation 17 itself, is rotatable, for which purpose the drive unit 23 Can be used.
  • This rotary movement is carried out preferably not all of the passenger accommodation 17, but a base plate supporting the seats 18 28.
  • the passengers are in the Movement of the cantilever arm 14 as well as the two Additional movements of the passenger accommodation 17 can be included.
  • the axis of rotation 27 is arranged so that it the central axis 21, around which the passenger intake 17 as they move along the circular path Ring track 20 moves, cuts, and preferably right angle. This is due to the movement of the cantilever arm 14 and the two additional movements most diverse movement states achievable.
  • a cantilever arm 29 is shown which for is held off-center by the axis of rotation 13 and on the other hand with a particularly decorative, star-shaped trained ring track 30 is provided. Through a corresponding counterweight 19 is despite the off-center Arrangement of the axis of rotation 13 a balance given both arms of the cantilever arm 29.
  • An alternative ride 31 shows Fig. 6. It differs from that previously described Ride 10 only by a different arrangement the ring track 33 on the cantilever arm 34. Die Ring track 33 is relatively movable at the free end of a Cantilever arm 34 arranged. Passenger reception 32 is, however, firmly connected to the ring track 33, so that it can be moved through the ring track 33. The Passenger reception 32 is by means of supports 35 on the ring railway 33 held.
