Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fairground attraction.
  • a fairground attraction which is formed by a base on which a main carrier in the form of a disc is rotatably mounted.
  • the main carrier which is rotatable on a substantially vertical axis, is provided with a number of person carriers arranged distributed thereon in peripheral direction. Each person carrier is in turn also rotatable relative to the main carrier.
  • Mounted for this purpose on the main carrier is a rotation shaft for each person carrier, which shaft lies at a small angle to the vertical.
  • Each person carrier can thus rotate in a plane which encloses a small angle to the horizontal.
  • the person carrier will hereby rotate under the influence of gravity to the lowest-lying position, while during rotation of the main carrier the position of the person carrier varies under the influence of the centrifugal force. This results in a combined rotation movement in different planes, which is perceived as being particularly exciting.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a fairground attraction which provides a greater sense of speed and more excitement than the above described attraction, and wherein embarking and disembarking is simpler and requires less time.
  • a fairground attraction comprising a base, a main carrier suspended from the base for rotation about a substantially vertical first axis and at least one person carrier suspended from the main carrier at a distance from the first axis for rotation about a substantially vertical second axis.
  • the at least one second axis preferably encloses an angle with the first axis.
  • the at least one person carrier is suspended from the main carrier via an auxiliary carrier which is suspended from the main carrier at a distance from the first axis for rotation about a substantially vertical third axis. This does after all combined three rotation movements.
  • the at least one person carrier is preferably suspended from the auxiliary carrier at a distance from the third axis for rotation about the second axis.
  • auxiliary carriers are preferably suspended distributed in peripheral direction from the main carrier.
  • a robust but nevertheless light construction is in this case achieved when the main carrier comprises a hub and a number of spokes extending radially from the hub and each bearing at least one auxiliary carrier.
  • auxiliary carrier In order to further increase the capacity and stability of the attraction, a number of person carriers is suspended distributed in peripheral direction from the auxiliary carrier.
  • the or each auxiliary carrier can then also comprise a hub and a number of spokes extending radially from the hub and each bearing at least one person carrier.
  • the at least one person carrier can comprise a suspending member and at least one seat suspended therefrom, wherein the suspending member is then preferably formed such that during use the centre of gravity of the seat and a passenger seated thereon lies at a distance from the second axis. In this way the seat will be set into motion as a result of the combined effects of centrifugal force and gravity during rotation of the attraction. This can be achieved in simple manner when the suspending member is substantially C-shaped.
  • the fairground attraction is preferably provided with means for rotatingly driving at least the main carrier and the or each auxiliary carrier.
  • These drive means can be formed by a single motor with a number of transmissions, or by individual motors for each of the main and auxiliary carriers.
  • the base comprises an arm, of which one end is connected to a support resting on the ground and the opposite free end bears the main carrier.
  • the arm is preferably pivotable on a substantially horizontal shaft, thereby creating an additional possible movement.
  • a structurally simple and compact fairground attraction is on the other hand characterized by the fact that the base comprises a mast with a foot resting on the ground and a top around which the main carrier is rotatable.
  • the attraction is then provided with means for causing at least the part of the mast bearing the main carrier to bend, fold or tilt, the planes in which the rotation movements occur can once again be varied so as to provide an even greater excitement.
  • a fairground attraction 1 (fig. 2) is formed by a base 2 from which a main carrier 3 is suspended.
  • Main carrier 3 is rotatable relative to base 2 about a substantially vertical first axis A1, and is driven rotatingly by a motor 22 (shown in broken lines).
  • Base 2 is formed here by an arm 13, the free end 15 of which bears main carrier 3, while the opposite end 14 is connected to a support 16 for pivoting on a horizontal shaft H.
  • This support 16 here takes the form of a trailer, so that the fairground attraction 1 is mobile.
  • the trailer is provided with a chassis 18 and telescopic jacks 19 with which the chassis can be raised from the ground G and support 16 can be disposed in stable manner. Two of these jacks 19 are arranged at corners of the trailer, while two other jacks 19 are arranged on ends of spacers 20 fixed to the trailer.
  • Support trailer 16 is provided with means 17 to cause the position of arm 13 to be varied, here in the form of two hydraulic jacks.
  • the main carrier 3 takes a star-shaped form and comprises a hub 6 and a number of - here three - spokes 7 which are distributed uniformly in peripheral direction and which extend radially from hub 6.
  • Each spoke 7 bears on its end an auxiliary carrier 4 which is rotatable relative to main carrier 3 around a substantially vertical second axis A2.
  • Auxiliary carriers 4 are each driven rotatingly by a motor 23 (also shown in broken lines).
  • Auxiliary carriers 4 also take a star-shaped form in the shown embodiment, and each comprise a hub 8 and four spokes 7 which are likewise distributed uniformly in peripheral direction and extend radially from hub 8. Each spoke 9 bears in turn a person carrier 5 which is rotatable relative to auxiliary carrier 4 around a - once again substantially vertical - third axis A3.
  • Person carriers 5 consist here of a suspending member 10 and two seats 11 suspended therefrom.
  • the suspending member 10 takes a C-shaped form, so that during use the centre of gravity of the seats 11 and passengers P seated thereon does not coincide with - the extension of - the second axis A2. Owing to this arrangement the person carriers 5 do not have to be driven, but will begin to rotate spontaneously about axis A2 when main carrier 3 and auxiliary carriers 4 are set into rotation.
  • axes A1, A2 and A3 are each substantially vertical, and thus run practically parallel.
  • the axes A2 in any case each enclose an angle ⁇ with the main axis A1.
  • the person carriers 5 hereby rotate in planes which do not coincide with or are not parallel to the plane in which the main carrier rotates, so that passengers P therefore also undergo an up and downward movement as well as the rotation.
  • the axes A3 about which auxiliary carriers 4 rotate can also enclose an angle with the main axis A1 and/or the axes A2 of person carriers 5.
  • the arm 13 from which the main carrier 3 is suspended is pivotable around the horizontal shaft H and provided with means 17 for moving arm 13 up and downward.
  • the arm 13 By setting the arm 13 into motion during the rotation movement of the main and auxiliary carriers 3, 4, the paths described by the person carriers 5 are varied even more, thereby achieving a greater thrill.
  • arm 13 can be lowered so far after a ride that the passengers can disembark easily and new passengers can embark. Because the main, auxiliary and person carriers 3, 4 and 5 are here suspended in cantilevered manner, passengers P can readily access the seats 11 via a fixed stage 21, and do not have to walk over movable parts of the attraction. The construction is hereby simplified on the one hand, while on the other hand the embarking and disembarking time is also reduced.
  • the base 102 is formed by a mast 113, the foot 114 of which stands on the ground G.
  • Main carrier 3 is in this case rotatable around the free end, or top part, 115 of mast 113.
  • mast 113 can be provided in this embodiment with means 117 to cause at least the top part 115 to bend, fold or tilt so that the planes in which the different rotation movements are performed can once again be varied.
  • means 117 can for instance be formed by a hinge (not shown here) between foot 114 and top part 115, and a drive co-acting with top part 115, for instance a jack or set of gears.
  • the invention is described and illustrated here on the basis of two exemplary embodiments, it will be apparent that it is not limited thereto.
  • the embodiments shown here for instance have in each case auxiliary carriers, but in a smaller embodiment of the attraction it is also possible to envisage the person carriers being suspended directly from the main carrier.
  • the main carrier and/or the auxiliary carrier could also be embodied otherwise than shown here, for instance as flat or dome-shaped discs. More or fewer auxiliary carriers and person carriers could also be applied than shown here.
  • the person carriers could also perform other movements in addition to the described and shown rotation movements about substantially vertical axes, for instance swinging movements about horizontal axes, whereby the excitement would be further enhanced.
