Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Vergnügungsgerät mit einer Basis, an der wenigstens ein schwenk- oder drehbarer Träger zur Halterung von an dem Träger in Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen befestigt ist, entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable support is mounted for holding arranged on the carrier in gondolas rows of seats, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer Vielzahl von Vergnügungsgeräten zur Verwendung auf Jahrmärkten und dergleichen werden Fahrgäste zu einer Fahrt in Gondeln aufgenommen, die mit dem Vergnügungsgerät mehr oder weniger schnell in vertikaler Richtung bewegt werden. Die Bewegung kann linear oder kreisförmig erfolgen. Ein kreisförmiger Bewegungsablauf wird insbesondere an Riesenrädern verwendet, wobei eine Vielzahl von Gondeln an einem drehenden Rad befestigt ist. Die Gondeln des Riesenrades sind schwenkbar an der Peripherie des Rades angeordnet. Bei manchen Riesenrädern können sie auch in horizontaler Ebene gedreht werden. Bei Halt des Riesenrades können eine oder mehrere sich im unteren Bereich jeweils auf einer Plattform befindende Gondeln be- und entladen werden.In a variety of amusement devices for use at fairs and the like, passengers are taken for a ride in gondolas, which are moved more or less quickly in the vertical direction with the amusement device. The movement can be linear or circular. A circular movement is used in particular on giant wheels, with a plurality of gondolas attached to a rotating wheel. The gondolas of the Ferris wheel are pivotally mounted on the periphery of the wheel. In some giant wheels, they can also be rotated in a horizontal plane. When the ferris wheel stops, one or more gondolas located on the platform at the bottom can be loaded and unloaded.

Bei anderen schaukelförmigen Vergnügungsgeräten befinden sich Sitze an beiden Enden eines Tragbalkens, der durch Eigenbewegung der Fahrgäste bewegt werden kann oder auch motorisch bewegt wird. Das Be- und Entladen erfolgt auch in dieser Ausführung in einem Zustand, in dem eine Gondel sich im unteren Bereich auf einer Plattform befindet. Zur Sicherung des Trägers im nicht ausbalancierten Zustand beim Entladen einer Gondel ist der Träger dabei mechanisch zu fixieren.In other swinging amusement devices seats are located at both ends of a support beam, which can be moved by proper movement of the passengers or is also moved by a motor. The loading and unloading takes place in this version in a state in which a nacelle is located in the lower area on a platform. To secure the carrier in the unbalanced state when unloading a nacelle, the carrier is to be mechanically fixed.

Es ist auch bekannt, Sitze in Gondeln kardanisch aufzuhängen, um eine Bewegung in drei Ebenen zu ermöglichen. Entsprechende Gondeln werden nach ihrer Beladung mittels eines Hubgerüstes auf eine größere Höhe angehoben und können dann die gewünschten Bewegungsmuster entweder durch manuelle Betätigung oder durch motorisch gesteuerten Antrieb durchführen. Der Nachteil einer solchen Anordnung liegt darin, dass während des Auf- und Abfahrens der Gondeln sowie bei der Be- und Entladung der Spielbetrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes unterbrochen ist.It is also known to gimbal-mount seats in gondolas to allow movement in three planes. Corresponding gondolas are lifted after their loading by means of a mast to a greater height and can then perform the desired movement patterns either by manual operation or by motor-driven drive. The disadvantage of such an arrangement is that it is interrupted during the up and down of the gondolas and during the loading and unloading of the game mode of the amusement device.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Vergnügungsgerät mit Gondeln mit kardanischer Aufhängung derart weiterzubilden, dass wenigstens zwei entsprechende Gondeln gleichzeitig betrieben werden können und diese im Wechsel be- und entladen werden können, wobei der Energiebedarf zum Betreiben des Vergnügungsgerätes minimiert ist und die Spielzeit des Vergnügungsgerätes pro Zeiteinheit erhöht werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, an amusement device with gondolas with cardan suspension in such a way that at least two corresponding gondolas can be operated simultaneously and these can be alternately loaded and unloaded, the energy required to operate the amusement machine is minimized and the playing time of the amusement device per unit of time can be increased.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the invention defined in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in subclaims.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Vergnügungsgerät mit einer Basis, an der wenigstens ein schwenk- oder drehbarer Träger zur Halterung von in Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen befestigt ist, wobei die Gondeln an dem Träger in Bezug auf die Basis wenigstens in Vertikalrichtung bewegbar sind und die Sitzreihen in der Gondel in wenigstens zwei zueinander senkrecht stehenden Ebenen dreh- oder auch schwenkbar sind.The invention is based on an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable support is mounted for supporting gondolas arranged rows of seats, the gondolas are movable on the support with respect to the base at least in the vertical direction and the rows of seats in the nacelle are rotatable or pivotable in at least two mutually perpendicular planes.

Erfindungsgemäß enthält der Träger wenigstens zwei Gondeln, die durch kardanisch ineinandergreifende Rahmen gebildet sind, wodurch die Sitzreihen in der Gondel kardanisch in drei senkrecht zueinander stehenden Ebenen bewegbar sind.According to the invention, the carrier comprises at least two gondolas, which are formed by gimbals interlocking frame, whereby the rows of seats in the gondola are gimbal movable in three mutually perpendicular planes.

Während eine der Gondeln in ihrer Ausgangsstellung be- und entladbar ist, können weitere an dem Träger befestigte Gondeln in einem vorgegebenen Fahrprogramm weiter betrieben werden.While one of the gondolas can be loaded and unloaded in its initial position, further gondolas attached to the carrier can continue to be operated in a predefined driving program.

Ein derartiges Vergnügungsgerät weist den Vorteil auf, dass durch die besondere Gestaltung der Gondeln in Form einer kardanischen Aufhängung der Sitze ein großer Vergnügungseffekt erreicht werden kann und andererseits der Betreiber des Vergnügungsgerätes einen hohen Fahrgastdurchsatz erreichen kann. Dabei ist der Energieaufwand zum Betrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes relativ gering. Ebenso ist der Platzbedarf für das Vergnügungsgerät relativ klein.Such an amusement device has the advantage that a great entertainment effect can be achieved by the special design of the gondolas in the form of a gimbal of the seats and on the other hand, the operator of the amusement device can achieve a high passenger throughput. The energy required to operate the amusement device is relatively low. Likewise, the space requirement for the amusement device is relatively small.

Der Träger des Vergnügungsgerätes ist vorzugsweise ein abgewinkelter oder bogenförmiger zur Basis gewölbter Tragbalken, der im mittleren Bereich an der Basis gelagert ist und an seinen nach oben gerichteten Enden mit je einer Gondel versehen ist. Bei diesem nach Art einer Wippschaukel ausgebildeten Gerät weist der Träger an beiden Enden je eine Gondel auf. Der Träger ist über ein Schwenkgelenk an der Basis befestigt. Bei erhöhter Lagerung des Trägers gegenüber der Basis können bei der Bewegung des Trägers an den Enden relativ hohe Höhen erreicht werden. Die Bewegungssteuerung der Gondeln bzw. der in den Gondeln angeordneten Sitzreihen erfolgt vorzugsweise motorisch. Auch die Auf- und Abbewegung der Enden des Trägers erfolgen motorisch, z. B. elektromotorisch, hydraulisch oder pneumatisch. Die Bewegungen des Trägers und der Gondeln können in der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit und der Bewegungsmuster aufeinander abgestimmt werden.The carrier of the amusement device is preferably an angled or arcuate curved to the base support beam, which is mounted in the central region on the base and is provided at its upwardly directed ends, each with a nacelle. In this device designed in the manner of a seesaw swing, the carrier has a gondola at each end. The carrier is attached to the base via a pivot joint. With increased storage of the carrier relative to the base, relatively high heights can be achieved in the movement of the carrier at the ends. The movement control of the gondolas or arranged in the gondolas rows of seats is preferably motorized. The up and down movement of the ends of the carrier are motorized, z. B. electric motor, hydraulic or pneumatic. The movements of the carrier and the gondolas can be matched in the speed of movement and the movement patterns.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Träger anstelle einer Schwenkbewegung um eine Schwenkachse auch entlang einer bogenförmigen Führungsbahn zwischen Träger und Basis verschoben werden, so dass die Enden des Trägers auch auf diese Weise große Höhen erreichen können.In an alternative embodiment, instead of a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the carrier can also be displaced along an arcuate guideway between the carrier and the base, so that the ends of the carrier can reach high heights in this way as well.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Träger als Tragrad ausgebildet, das um eine mit der Basis verbundene zentrale Drehachse drehbar gelagert ist, wobei das Tragrad wenigstens zwei Gondeln an der Peripherie enthält. Die Sitzreihen in der Gondel sind ebenfalls kardanisch aufgehängt. Zwar entspricht das Grundprinzip einem Riesenrad, jedoch wird durch die Einführung einer kardanischen Aufhängung der einzelnen Gondeln bzw. der Sitzreihen der Gondeln ein gesteigerter Vergnügungseffekt erreicht. Die Zahl der Gondeln kann auch größer als zwei gewählt werden.In another embodiment of the invention, the carrier is designed as a carrying wheel, which is rotatably mounted about a central rotation axis connected to the base, wherein the support wheel includes at least two gondolas on the periphery. The rows of seats in the gondola are also gimballed. Although the basic principle of a Ferris wheel, but by introducing a gimbal suspension of the individual gondolas or the rows of seats of the gondolas an increased entertainment effect is achieved. The number of gondolas can also be chosen larger than two.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform können auch zwei parallel angeordnete Träger verwendet werden, die an ihren Enden jeweils eine Gondel aufweisen, so dass im Betrieb des Vergnügungsgerätes nur jeweils eine der Gondeln zur Be- und Entladung abgesenkt werden muss, während der nicht zu beladende Träger weiter betrieben werden kann und die der zu be- oder entladenden Gondel gegenüberliegende Gondel auf großer Höhe bleiben kann.In a further embodiment, two carriers arranged in parallel can also be used, each of which has a nacelle at its ends, so that only one of the nacelles for loading and unloading has to be lowered during operation of the amusement device, while the carrier not to be loaded continues to operate and the gondola opposite the loading or unloading nacelle can remain at a high altitude.

Bei gleicher Grundausbildung kann auch jeder der beiden Träger nur an einem Ende jeweils eine Gondel aufweisen, während das gegenüberliegende Ende des Trägers mit einem Gegengewicht versehen ist, wodurch statt einer zweiten Gondel an einem Träger auch auf diese Weise ein Gewichtsausgleich im laufenden Betrieb hergestellt werden kann.With the same basic training and each of the two carriers can have only one gondola at one end, while the opposite end of the carrier is provided with a counterweight, which instead of a second nacelle on a carrier in this way a weight balance can be made during operation ,

Die kardanisch miteinander verbundenen Rahmen der Gondeln sind vorzugsweise rechteckig, oval oder kreisförmig ausgebildet. Dabei ist ein äußerer Rahmen drehbar an zwei Armen des jeweiligen Trägers gelagert, während die Sitzreihen an einem Innenrahmen befestigt sind. Ein Zwischenrahmen verbindet den äußeren mit dem inneren Rahmen kardanisch miteinander. Vorzugsweise sind die Sitzreihen an beiden Seiten eines Schenkels des inneren Rahmens befestigt. Die Sitzreihen können auch an zwei gegenüberliegenden Schenkeln des inneren Rahmens befestigt werden, um so eine bessere Gewichtssymmetrie herstellen zu können. Bei dieser Ausführungsform müssen jedoch geeignete Möglichkeiten zum Be- und Entladen der Sitze auf der Plattform bereitgestellt sein, welche bei der Beladung oder Entladung nur eines Schenkels bei senkrechtstehendem Innenrahmen einfacher herzustellen sind.The cardanically interconnected frame of the gondolas are preferably rectangular, oval or circular. In this case, an outer frame is rotatably supported on two arms of the respective carrier, while the rows of seats are secured to an inner frame. An intermediate frame gimbals the outer and inner frames together. Preferably, the rows of seats are attached to both sides of a leg of the inner frame. The rows of seats can also be attached to two opposite legs of the inner frame, so as to be able to produce a better weight balance. In this embodiment, however, suitable options for loading and unloading the seats must be provided on the platform, which are easier to produce when loading or unloading only one leg with vertical inner frame.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, die an dem oder den Schenkeln des inneren Rahmens angeordneten Sitzreihen dreh- oder schwenkbar auszugestalten.It can also be provided to arrange the rows of seats arranged on the leg or legs of the inner frame so that they can rotate or swivel.

Am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Trägers 2 ist eine weitere Gondel 3 angeordnet, die entsprechend in einem weiteren Be- und Entladebereich auf der Basis 1 betreten oder verlassen werden kann. Zwar ist der Träger 2 bogenförmig dargestellt, aber er kann auch stumpfwinklig oder sogar gradlinig ausgebildet sei, wobei eine bogenförmige oder abgewinkelte Gestalt bevorzugt wird, um große endseitige Höhen zu erhalten, wenn das gegenüberliegende Ende abgesenkt ist.The Figures 1 - 3 show an embodiment of the invention, in which on a platform-like base 1, an arcuate carrier 2 is tiltably received in its central region in a bearing 9. The base 1 contains a loading and unloading area 10, in which the passengers can enter or leave the gondola 8 arranged on the carrier 2 at the end. At the opposite end of the carrier 2, a further nacelle 3 is arranged, which can be entered or left correspondingly in a further loading and unloading on the base 1. Although the carrier 2 is shown arcuate, it may also be obtuse or even rectilinear, with an arcuate or angled shape being preferred for obtaining large end heights when the opposite end is lowered.

Das Lager 9 befindet sich auf der Basis 1 an einem erhöhten Gerüst 11, so dass die Enden des bogenförmigen Trägers 2 jeweils ausreichend weit nach unten geschwenkt werden können um die Gondeln 3 oder 8 betreten oder verlassen zu können.The bearing 9 is located on the base 1 on a raised frame 11, so that the ends of the arcuate support 2 can each be pivoted sufficiently far down to the gondolas 3 or 8 to enter or leave.

Die Gondeln 3 und 8 sind endseitig an dem Träger 2 angeordnet und bestehen aus drei ineinander verschachtelten Rahmen, die rechtwinklig gegeneinander gelagert sind. Der äußere Rahmen 7 ist in einem Lager 12 gelagert. Der Zwischenrahmen 6 ist mit seiner Lagerachse rechtwinklig zur Lagerachse 12 in dem äußeren Rahmen 7 gelagert. Im Inneren des Zwischenrahmens 6 ist der innere Rahmen 5 über das Lager 13 gegenüber dem Zwischenrahmen 6 gelagert. Die Anordnung der Lager 12, 13, 14 der ineinandergreifenden Rahmen 5, 6, 7 ergibt eine kardanische Lagerung, so dass der innere Rahmen 5 in rechtwinklig aufeinander stehenden Ebenen bewegbar ist. Die Bewegung erfolgt vorzugsweise motorisch nach einem vorgewählten Steuerprogramm.The gondolas 3 and 8 are arranged on the end side on the carrier 2 and consist of three nested frames, which are mounted at right angles to each other. The outer frame 7 is mounted in a bearing 12. The intermediate frame 6 is mounted with its bearing axis at right angles to the bearing axis 12 in the outer frame 7. Inside the intermediate frame 6, the inner frame 5 is mounted on the bearing 13 with respect to the intermediate frame 6. The arrangement of the bearings 12, 13, 14 of the interlocking frame 5, 6, 7 results in a gimbal bearing, so that the inner frame 5 is movable in mutually perpendicular planes. The movement is preferably motorized according to a preselected control program.

Der gegenüberliegende Schenkel 16 des inneren Rahmens 5 kann ein Gegengewicht aufweisen.The inner frame 5 has on the free leg 15 two parallel rows of seats 4, wherein the individual seats of the rows of seats are mounted on both sides of the leg. The opposite leg 16 of the inner frame 5 may have a counterweight.

Der Schenkel 16 kann jedoch ebenfalls Sitzreihen aufnehmen, wenn das Be- und Entladen der Sitzreihen auf der Plattform geeignet gewährleistet werden kann. Dafür sollten die Schenkel 15 und 16 gegenüber dem inneren Rahmen 5 drehbar sein, um die Sitzreihen beim Be- und Entladen jeweils in aufrechter Stellung halten zu können.However, the leg 16 can also accommodate rows of seats when the loading and unloading of the rows of seats on the platform can be suitably ensured. For this purpose, the legs 15 and 16 should be rotatable relative to the inner frame 5 in order to be able to hold the rows of seats during loading and unloading in an upright position.

Die aus den Rahmen 5, 6, 7 gebildeten Gondeln sind vorzugsweise rechteckförmig gestaltet, sie können jedoch auch andere Formen, wie oval oder kreisförmig, ausgestaltet sein.The gondolas formed from the frames 5, 6, 7 are preferably rectangular in shape, but they can also be other shapes, such as oval or circular, be designed.

Zum Be- und Entladen einer Gondel wird der Träger 2 an einem Ende so weit abgesenkt, dass der Schenkel des inneren Rahmens, der die Sitzreihen trägt, bis auf die Basis 1 heruntergefahren werden kann. Nach der Beladung der Sitzreihen kann das entsprechende Ende des Trägers 2 wieder angehoben werden, während das gegenüberliegende Ende des Trägers abgesenkt wird. Die Gondeln können dadurch nach Art einer Wippschaukel gegenläufig synchron auf- und abbewegt werden.For loading and unloading a nacelle, the carrier 2 is lowered at one end so far that the leg of the inner frame that carries the rows of seats can be shut down to the base 1. After loading the rows of seats, the corresponding end of the carrier 2 can be raised again while the opposite end of the carrier is lowered. The gondolas can thereby be moved up and down synchronously in the manner of a seesaw swing.
