  • the subject of DE 87 01 462 relates to a similar one Amusement ride with rigid booms caused by radial force Movable towards the central column, the gondolas on the arms are freely pivoted attached.
  • DE-PS 44 689 shows the possibility of training a opposite movement of opposite passenger gondolas.
  • the invention has for its object a new carousel in the
  • the preamble of claim 1 specified type indicate an increase of the driving experience that requires only a small footprint, flexible is controllable, but can nevertheless offer a high useful frequency.
  • the support rods for the gondola or Seat support through a controlled application of force in relation to the orbit of the rotary carrier are pivotable outwards / inwards, the Swivel axis of the support rods on the swivel bracket at an angle to the radial and The circumferential direction of the rotary carrier runs.
  • the flight radius of the gondola or Seat support can be adjusted as desired. It is thus possible to To move the flight radius far inwards towards the mast as well as far deflect outwards, beyond the area that is due to the Centrifugal force influence arise with freely suspended gondola or seat supports would.
  • the determination of the trajectory in this way allows it for example, the operating space of the carousel to a limited space to adapt to a fair. It also makes it possible to change the footprint of the To reduce the size of the carousel even further, for example when entering and leaving The passengers disembark the support rods opposite their freely hanging ones
  • the position towards the mast can be slightly deflected, and with it the outer circumference the area of the seat or gondola carrier becomes very small in the basic position.
  • the pivot axis of the support rods preferably runs in the plane of the rotating support, especially in a horizontal plane. However, it can also be provided, the pivot axis in relation to the plane of the rotary support in to arrange an angle deviating from this plane so that a Deflection of the support rods in the radial direction a corresponding advance or Backward movement of the support rod in the circumferential direction of the rotary support causes.

  • This design of the Invention has the particular advantage that the gondola and seat support very much can be arranged staggered on the circumference of the rotary support without when pivoting the support rods inwards, a mutual Touching the seat or gondola carrier of different support rods would be possible.
  • This measure is also of particular advantage insofar as the Footprint of the carousel can be kept even smaller, though a high frequency of use is possible because practical while driving constantly the entire carousel space by alternately pivoting the Seat or gondola carrier is used inside / outside.
  • the carousel to allow use similar to a chain carousel achieve additional driving experience by swiveling inwards / outwards is possible, which is not the case with conventional chain carousels is possible.
  • the carousel should preferably be a couple of Have arms of the rotary support or the support rods.
  • the pivoting movement of the support rods can be done by mechanical Force transmission, for example cable, chain or the like, by hydraulic or Pneumatic drive or electric motor. For alternating on and The movements can be swiveled out successive support rods by a suitable control device be synchronized with each other. If a carousel has a rotating beam with only a few, e.g. B. four arms can also be used to synchronize the Swinging out of the support arms can be dispensed with. The individual support arms then have so much freedom of movement that mutual disability does not occur.

It can also be provided, seat support additionally by a horizontal at rest Let the axis rotate, so that rollover movements of the seat support possible are.
  • Five seat supports are preferably offset in pairs by 72 ° arranged against each other at the lower end of the support rods.
  • the rotary support of the carousel four arms, each containing five x two seats, so that the The total capacity of the carousel for one trip is 40 people.
  • a central mast 1 shows a central mast 1, on the upper side of which a rotating support 2 is rotatably mounted. If desired, the axis of rotation of the rotary support 2 to the axis of the mast at an angle to the vertical be deflected, wherein the axis of rotation can itself be designed to rotate. Corresponding devices for changing the axis of rotation are from the stand known in the art.
  • the rotary support has six arms 10, on the other of which Ends each of the support rods 3 hanging via a joint 8 in a fork 7 are attached.
  • the number of rotating arms can be changed easily, e.g. B. on four.
  • the axis of rotation of the support rods 3 is not tangent to Rotating beam, but at an angle of 30 ° - 60 ° to the tangent, so that the Swiveling a support rod leads to the pivoting plane of the Support rod runs approximately tangentially to the mast or its casing.
  • the Support rods 3 are pivoted outward / inward by force, so that, as shown, they can experience a wide deflection to the outside, but can also make a wide deflection inwards.
