Die Figuren 1 und 2 lassen den grundsätzlichen Aufbau des Wasserfahrgeschäftes mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Wasserfahrzeug erkennen. Das Wasserfahrzeug besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Rahmen 10 mit an seiner Unterseite vorgesehenen Leitflossen 10a, an welchem der drehbare Schwimmkörper 20 angebracht ist. Dieser drehbare Schwimmkörper 20 weist eine kreisscheibenförmige Plattform 24 auf, auf welcher die Sitzplätze 21 für die Fahrgäste 23 angebracht sind. Vor den Sitzplätzen sind Wasserspritzpistolen 22 vorgesehen.The Figures 1 and 2 let recognize the basic structure of the water ride with a watercraft according to the invention. The vessel consists essentially of a frame 10 with provided on its underside vanes 10a, on which the rotatable float 20 is mounted. This rotatable float 20 has a circular disk-shaped platform 24, on which the seats 21 are mounted for the passengers 23. In front of the seats water spray guns 22 are provided.

An der im Wasser befindlichen Unterseite der Plattform 24 ist ein mit dieser drehfest verbundenes Schaufelrad 30 vorgesehen, dessen Gestaltung in den Figuren 5 bis 8 gezeigt und in diesem Zusammenhang näher erläutert ist.At the bottom of the platform 24 located in the water, a paddle wheel 30 rotatably connected thereto is provided, the design of which is in the FIGS. 5 to 8 shown and explained in more detail in this context.

Zur Bewegung des Wasserfahrzeuges durch das Gewässer 1 ist im Gewässer ein Zugseil 40 vorgesehen, das über nicht dargestellte, im Gewässergrund 2 verankerte Umlenkrollen entsprechend der vorgesehenen Route für das Wasserfahrzeug geführt ist. Das Zugseil 40 wird von einem Getriebemotor 42 über die Seilrolle 41 angetrieben. Mit diesem Zugseil 40 ist der Rahmen 10 des Wasserfahrzeuges über Seilkupplungen 13 und Kupplungseile 14 verbunden. Bei Bewegung des Wasserfahrzeuges mittels des Zugseiles 40 in Richtung des Pfeiles A wird das Schaufelrad 30 und damit der mit diesem verbundene Schwimmkörper durch die entstehende Strömung in Rotation versetzt.For movement of the watercraft through the water 1, a traction cable 40 is provided in the water, which is guided via not shown, anchored in the water body 2 pulleys according to the intended route for the watercraft. The traction cable 40 is driven by a geared motor 42 via the pulley 41. With this pull rope 40 of the frame 10 of the watercraft via cable couplings 13 and clutch cables 14 is connected. Upon movement of the watercraft by means of the traction cable 40 in the direction of arrow A, the impeller 30 and thus the float connected thereto by the resulting flow in rotation.

Zur Stabilisierung des Rahmens 10 sind Querstreben 12 und eine Längsstrebe 15 vorgesehen, wie dies genauer die Untenansicht gemäß Figur 3 zeigt. An den äußeren Enden der Querstreben 12 sind seitliche Stützrollen 11 drehbar gelagert, welche ein sanftes Andocken des Wasserfahrzeugs an die Landeplattform des Bahnhofes gewährleisten. An den vorderen und hinteren Enden der Längsstrebe 15 befinden sich die Seilkupplungen 13, in welche die mit dem Zugseil 40 verbundenen Kupplungsseile 14 eingehängt sind.For stabilization of the frame 10, transverse struts 12 and a longitudinal strut 15 are provided, as shown more precisely in the bottom view FIG. 3 shows. At the outer ends of the transverse struts 12 lateral support rollers 11 are rotatably mounted, which ensure a smooth docking of the vessel to the landing platform of the station. At the front and rear ends of the longitudinal strut 15 are the cable couplings 13, in which the connected to the pull cable 40 coupling cables 14 are mounted.

Die Gestaltung des drehbaren Schwimmkörpers 20 mit Sitzplätzen 21 und Spritzpistolen 22 ist im Einzelnen in Figur 4 erkennbar,The design of the rotatable float 20 with seats 21 and spray guns 22 is in detail in FIG. 4 recognizable

Für die Gestaltung des Schaufelrades werden zwei in den Figuren 5 und 6 veranschaulichte Gestaltungsformen vorgeschlagen.For the design of the paddle wheel are two in the FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrated designs proposed.

Das Schaufelrad 30 gemäß Figur 5 weist radial und geradlinig verlaufende Schaufeln 31 auf.The impeller 30 according to FIG. 5 has radially and rectilinear blades 31.

Einen besseren Wirkungsgrad hat das in Figur 6 veranschaulichte Schaufelrad 30', deren radial verlaufende Schaufeln 31' bogenförmig gekrümmt sind.A better efficiency has the in FIG. 6 illustrated impeller 30 ', the radially extending blades 31' are arcuately curved.

Zur Beeinflussung von Drehrichtung und Drehgeschwindigkeit des Schaufelrades 30 ist eine Blende 32 vorgesehen, die sich auf der Außenseite des Schaufelrades 30 über einen Sektor von etwa 80° erstreckt. Diese Blende deckt einen Teil der Kammern des Schaufelrades ab. Sie ist über den Blendenträger 34 mit der Stellwelle 33 verbunden, welche durch die Mittelachse 36 des Schaufelrades 30 und des Schwimmkörpers 20 nach oben in den Fahrgastraum geführt ist und an ihrem äußeren Ende einen Stellhebel 35 aufweist. Mittels dieses Stellhebels 35 können die Fahrgäste 22 die Position der Blende verändern, z.B. aus der in Figur 7 dargestellten Stellung in die in Figur 8 dargestellte Stellung verschwenken. Bei gleichbleibender Strömung in Richtung des Pfeiles B hat dies zur Folge, dass das Schaufelrad 30 und damit der mit diesem verbundene Schwimmkörper 20 zunächst in Richtung C, also im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, und dann nach Verstellung in Richtung des Pfeiles D, also im Uhrzeigersinn, umläuft. Die Veränderung der Blendenposition wirkt sich auch auf die Drehgeschwindigkeit aus, so dass mittels dieser verstellbaren Blende der Fahrgast interaktiv in den Fahrtverlauf eingreifen kann, was zu einer weiteren Attraktivität des Wasserfahrgeschäftes beiträgt.For influencing the direction of rotation and rotational speed of the blade wheel 30, a diaphragm 32 is provided, which extends on the outside of the blade wheel 30 over a sector of about 80 °. This panel covers part of the chambers of the paddle wheel. It is connected via the diaphragm support 34 with the control shaft 33 which is guided through the central axis 36 of the impeller 30 and the float 20 up into the passenger compartment and at its outer end an adjusting lever 35. By means of this control lever 35, the passengers 22 can change the position of the diaphragm, for example from the in FIG. 7 position shown in the in FIG. 8 pivot position shown. With constant flow in the direction of arrow B, this has the consequence that the impeller 30 and thus the associated with this float 20 first in the direction C, ie counterclockwise, and then after adjustment in the direction of arrow D, ie clockwise, rotates. The change in the aperture position also affects the rotational speed, so that by means of this adjustable aperture, the passenger can intervene interactively in the course of the journey, which contributes to a further attractiveness of the water ride business.
