  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for lifting vehicles, especially boats or the like, in which the lift assembly used requires little space, which is simple and already offers the passenger during the driveway a pleasure attraction.
  • the device according to the invention for lifting vehicles, in particular boats or the like, of a ride for amusement starts from a device in which the vehicles are transferred along a guideway from an elevated place of departure substantially by gravity movement to an arrival place, and the vehicles from the place of arrival to Departure be raised along a vertically guided lifting device.
  • the lifting device is designed as a rotatably mounted rotary tower on the bottom, are arranged in particular on its outer side in pairs parallel to each other lifting platforms for receiving vehicles from the arrival of the guideway for lifting along the turret and for delivering the vehicles to the departure.
  • the inventively mounted on the bottom side turret is rotated as far as the driveway of a lifting platform to the required angle that the Hubrig at the departure directly to the track connects, so that the vehicles can be delivered directly to the track without loss of time.
  • the lifting platforms each have a turntable and at the lower end of the guideway, the vehicles Anke up raising lifting conveyor is anslitis.
  • the lifting platform can be rotated during the driveway over larger angles, z. B. more than 360 °, d. H. perform a spiraling upward movement, so that the pleasure of attraction is already effected in the driveway of a vehicle.
  • the respective other lifting platform which moves in the downward movement of a lifting platform in the downward direction, forms a counterweight for the upwardly traveling lifting platform, so that the energy required to drive the lifting platform is low.
  • the drive of the lifting platforms is preferably realized by a cable pulling device in which the lifting platforms are suspended on a guided over an upper roller rope, similar to a paternoster elevator.
  • drive means also an electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or Kettenzugantrieb can be used.
  • a gear drive can also be used.
  • the lifting platforms are moved up and down synchronously under weight balance by an opposing lifting platform.
  • an inclined, in particular belt conveyor used, which absorbs the boats below the water surface in the formation of the device as a waterway and carried out obliquely upwards out of the water.
  • the boats are preferably transferred directly to a lifting platform. They can still be moved substantially horizontally at the point of arrival between the belt conveyor and the lifting platform by means of a roller conveyor.
  • the boats are preferably between Lifting platform and guideway guided over a runway to facilitate a facilitated transition between lifting platform and guideway.
  • the lifting platforms can be lifted freely suspended, in particular in cable drive, but they are preferably raised rail-like similar to an elevator guide. This can also be realized in elevator drives known fuse elements in a simple manner.
  • the drive of the turret may preferably be designed according to the drive of a slewing crane.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of the amusement device with a multi-lane track running from a departure point 10 to an arrival point 6, the lane being passed through an entrance building 2 where passengers can get off the boats or board a boat.
  • the guideway is formed as a channel and extends at a relatively shallow angle down. Through the channel, a water flow is guided, on which the boats are led floating down.
  • the invention is not limited to a waterway, but is also particularly for rail-guided "dry" trains, for. B. roller coasters, usable.
  • the arriving at the destination 6 vehicles are raised by means of a vertically guided lifting device, wherein they are simultaneously rotated about the axis of the lifting device, which is designed as a turret 3.
  • the lifting device 4 which receives boats on the right side, is thereby rotated during the driveway along the turret 3 so that it arrives at the departure point 10 on the left side of the turret and can deliver the boat directly into the guideway.
  • Fig. 2 shows an amusement ride in rotated by 90 ° view.
  • a lifting platform 4 is shown in a middle position along the vertical height of the turret.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of the turret 3, which shows two opposite lifting platforms 4, 5 in the respective starting positions. While the first lifting platform 4 can pick up a boat in the situation shown, at the same time the second lifting platform 5, which is in the upper position, can deliver a boat into the guideway 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a plan view of the amusement ride.
  • a boat 7 is shown, which is then lifted by means of a slanted, in particular belt conveyor 8, slightly obliquely upwards out of the water, to transfer it to a roller conveyor 9.
  • This is a powered roller conveyor that carries the boat on the first lifting platform 4 horizontally on.
  • the roller conveyor 9 facilitates the transfer of a boat 7 on the first lifting platform 4, when the belt conveyor 8 is arranged relatively obliquely. With a slight tilt arrangement can be dispensed with the roller conveyor 9.
  • the belt conveyor can also be designed as a roller or friction wheel conveyor or in other suitable for this purpose design.
  • the lifting platforms also include a runway to transfer the boats on the lifting platform in a safe rest position.
  • the runways of the lifting platforms can also be mounted on a turntable of the lifting platforms to allow a necessary or intentional rotation of the boats on the lifting platform.
  • the transferred to the first lifting platform 4 boat is then transported vertically along the outside of the turret 3, in particular by means of cable rail guided upwards.
  • the turret 3, which is mounted on the bottom side rotated, so that the lifting platform 4 is pivoted during the upward movement in the direction of the vehicle web 1.
  • the lifting platforms can also be performed on the inside of the turret.
  • the second lifting platform 5 is simultaneously and synchronously lowered, which forms a counterweight to the lifting platform 4 due to the weight-compensating drive of the lifting platforms.
  • the corresponding raised boat is transferred to a runway 11 from which it enters the water-bearing channel 1 and then floats down along the channel.
  • the drawing shows a boat 12, which has just been released from a lifting platform.
  • the Hubplattenformen 4, 5 are driven in pairs. It is also possible, depending on space, other Hubin pairs inside or outside of the To arrange turret, which are driven independently of another pair, however, the loading and unloading of the lifting platforms of each pair is centrally coordinated.
  • the lifting platforms are arranged opposite each other on the turret (offset by 180 °) and also the arrival and departure end of the guideway are offset by 180 ° with respect to the turret, the lifting platforms will move upwards and downwards and turn through 180 ° directly at the departure and arrival ends can dock the guideway.
  • an additional angular rotation of the turret may be required before docking a lifting platform to the track by z. B. first the loaded lifting platform at the upper end of the turret is directed towards the guideway and then the turret is rotated by such an angle that the lower platform is directed towards the arrival end of the guideway to allow loading.
  • the additional angular rotation can be avoided or reduced if the platforms themselves have a turntable, which allows to load the platforms from different directions or to unload in different directions.
  • each lifting platform can accommodate not only one boat but also two or more boats, in particular one row behind the other, which are returned in turn at the point of departure
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to lift vehicles of an amusement ride in a confined space with a simultaneous increase in the amusement effect of an energy-economical operation, at the same time achieving an appealing visual appearance of the installation.
