Definitions

  • Attachment means are used as means which attach the user to the running gear.
  • the attachment means can include the harness or the vehicle and any components connecting the running gear and the harness or the vehicle.
  • the attachment means can be understood as a part of the vehicle.
  • the running gear might be understood as a part of the vehicle.
  • the advantage of the hybrid amusement slide according to the present invention is the enhanced experience for the user because the combination of the sliding trail and the gliding system enables movement paths which are not possible with one of the two components alone.
  • the movement path has at least one of the sliding trail and the gliding system.
  • One design of the hybrid amusement slide involves that the user first slides on the sliding trail while being suspended by the gliding system. The sliding trail then ends and the user is then only held by the gliding system. Then the user is released from the gliding system and the gliding system also ends.
  • the hybrid amusement slide is configured such that the user can disengage from the gliding system. Once the user is disengaged from the gliding system, he is only supported by the sliding trail from below.
  • the hybrid amusement slide further comprises a drive system configured to drive the user.
  • the drive system can be part of the sliding trail, of the gliding system or a combination thereof.
  • the drive system generates water jets or an (electro)magnetic field acting on the vehicle which accommodates the user.
  • the drive system acts on the running gear to which the user is attached.
  • the track switch can be part of the sliding trail, of the gliding system or of a combination of both. If the track switch is part of the gliding system, this means that the guide means splits into two or more sub-means.
  • the movement path has a section in which the sliding trail splits into a left part and a right part.
  • the gliding system does not comprise a track switch in this section, such that the user remains attached to the guide means and follows either the left or the right part of the sliding trail. It is also possible to disengage the user from the gliding system before the sliding trail splits.
  • the sliding trail does not comprise a track switch, but the gliding system has a track switch, such that there is a section of the movement path having two or more guide means to one of which the user can be attached.
  • one of the guide means maintains its vertical distance to the sliding trail, while the other guide means increases its vertical distance from the sliding trail, thus raising the user and giving the experience of a jump.
  • both the sliding trail and the gliding system include a track switch, resulting in two or more potentially independent movement sub-paths in this section.
  • the hybrid amusement slide comprises a control system for controlling the track switch.
  • the control system receives user input by the user to control the track switch. The user input can be given before the user starts its slide or during the slide.
  • the hybrid amusement slide comprises a vehicle for accommodating the user.
  • the vehicle can be connected to the running gear which runs, rolls or glides on or in the guide means, for example via attachment means.
  • the vehicle can for example a boat, a raft, a ring, a mat or a sack.
  • the vehicle comprises the running gear for running along the guide means.
  • the running gear can also run on the outside of the guide means.
  • the guide means can or cannot have a hollow core.
  • the vehicle comprises a contact part configured to be in contact with the sliding trail and being releasable from the rest of the vehicle.
  • the rest of the vehicle might include a seat for accommodating the user.
  • the contact part can for example be a ring.
  • the contact part When the contact part is released from the rest of the vehicle, the user remains accommodated by the rest of the vehicle and for example remains suspended by the gliding system through the rest of the vehicle. However, the contact part separates from the rest of the vehicle, thus giving the user the impression that the vehicle is broken or a part of the vehicle got loose.
  • the sliding trail ends, such that the contact part releases from the rest of the vehicle and falls down while the user remains suspended by the gliding system.
  • the hybrid amusement slide comprises a harness for accommodating the user.
  • the harness comprises an arrangement of straps or ropes and at least one locking device, like a carabiner, to ensure that it does not detach from the user unintentionally.
  • An example is a five point harness.
  • the harness can comprise the running gear.
  • the harness comprises a hook and the gliding system comprises a rope as the guide means to which the hook of the harness is engageable.
  • the hook glides along the rope to suspend the user from above.
  • the hook is an example of the running gear.
  • the harness comprises a running gear comprising one or more wheels rolling on or in the guide means.
  • the hybrid amusement slide does, along the movement path, first comprise a section with a guide means only and then a section with a sliding trail only as explained above.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic side view of a hybrid amusement slide 1.
  • the hybrid amusement slide is also simply referred to as slide 1.
  • Figure 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the slide 1 of Figure 1 .
  • the slide 1 comprises a sliding trail 2 for supporting the user U from below.
  • the sliding trail 2 can be a body slide or a slide used with a vehicle, such as a ring, a boat, a mat or a sack.
  • the vehicle is a ring 7.
  • the sliding trail 2 can be a dry slide or a water slide in which a film of water propagates along the sliding trail 2 to reduce friction.
  • the sliding trail 2 typically utilizes gravity to accelerate the user U while sliding.
  • the slide 1 further comprises a gliding system 3 including guide means 4 for suspending the user U from above.
  • the guide means 4 is a pipe or tube for guiding a running gear 5.
  • the running gear 5 comprises a plurality of wheels 5a to roll along the guide means 4.
  • the gliding system 3 comprises attachment means 6 for attaching the user U to the running gear 5.
  • the attachment means 6 comprises a seat 6a for accommodating the user. Not shown in the Figures is an optional restraint system for securing the user U in the seat 6a.
  • the bottom of the seat 6a rests in the ring 7, which is intended to slide along the sliding trail 2. It shall be noted that the ring 4 is optional and the seat 6a could be intended for gliding on the sliding trail 2.
  • the sliding trail 2 has a U-shaped cross section to accommodate the user U, for example via the ring 4.
  • the shape of the sliding trail 2 enables a lateral movement of the user U depending on the forces acting during the slide.
  • Figure 2 further indicates a vertical direction v and a horizontal direction h. Those directions are defined relative to the sliding trail 2.
  • the horizontal direction h is parallel to the bottom of the sliding trail 2 and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the user U.
  • the vertical direction is perpendicular to the bottom of the sliding trail 2, and is thus perpendicular to both the horizontal direction h and the sliding direction of the user U.
  • a vertical distance d between the sliding trail 2 and the guide means 3 is given in the vertical direction and determines whether the user U is supported only from below via the sliding trail 2, only suspended from above via the gliding system 3 or a combination of both.
  • the guide means 4 typically runs parallel to the sliding trail 2. For example, it is located centrally above the sliding trail 2 in the horizontal direction h.
  • the hybrid amusement slide 1 defines a movement path of the user U from a first point to a second point. If the hybrid amusement slide 1 is a pure gravity slide, the first point is higher than the second point and the movement path typically continuously descends from the first to the second point.
  • Figure 2a shows a perspective view onto a hybrid amusement slide 1.
  • Figure 2a shows the guide means 4 located centrally above the sliding trail 2.
  • the movement path of the user U makes a righthand curve. This causes centrifugal forces acting on the user U, the ring 7 and the attachment means 6 in the horizontal direction h. Those forces let the user U swing up the left wall of the sliding trail 2.
  • the gliding system 3 enables this movement, for example by enabling a rotation of the running gear 5 about the guide means 4 or a rotation of the attachment means 6 relative to the running gear 5.
  • Figure 3 shows a modification of the slide 1 of Figure 1 .
  • the part of the movement path of the slide 1 shown in Figure 3 is divided into three sections S1, S2 and S3.
  • the user U is supported by the sliding trail 2 from below and is suspended by the gliding system 3 from above.
  • section S2 there is no sliding trail 2 for supporting the user U from below and the user U is only suspended by the gliding system 3.
  • the sliding trail 2 descends downwards such that the vertical distance h between the sliding trail 2 and the guide means 4 increases.
  • the user U thus loses contact to the sliding trail 2 and hovers by use of the gliding system 3.
  • the sliding trail 2 sets in again, with a short part having an ascending slope to smoothly accept the user U on the sliding trail 2.
  • the vertical distance between the guide means 4 and the sliding trail 2 increases at the transition from section S2 to section S3.
  • the user U is again both supported by the sliding trail 2 from below and suspended from above via the gliding system 3.
  • the ring 4 stays attached to the attachment means 6 such that the ring is in contact with the sliding trail 2 both in section S1 and section S3.
  • the ring 4 detaches from the attachment means 6 in the transition from section S1 to section S2. This increases the sensation experienced by the user U.
  • the attachment means 6 are in contact with the sliding trail 2.
  • the ring 4 is also optional in section S1. In this case, no ring is present and the seat 6a is in contact with the sliding trail 2 both in section S1 and section S3.
  • the slope of the guide means 4 in section S2 is larger than in sections S1 and S3. This gives the user U the impression of dropping in section S2.
  • section S1 of the slide 1 can be omitted, which means that the movement path starts with the gliding system 3 only, not having a sliding trail 2 for supporting the user U from below. However, the transition from section S2 to S3 remains.
  • Figure 4 shows a modification of the modification shown in Figure 3 .
  • both the sliding trail 2 and the gliding system 3 are present in section S4, only the gliding system 3 is present in section S5 and there is a transition between sections S4 and S5.
  • section S6 does not contain a sliding trail 2, but rather a brake run 8 for braking the user U at the end of the slide.
  • the ring 7 detaches from the attachment means 6 in section S5 as described above. In another implementation, the ring 7 is not present at all as described above, which means that already in section S4 the attachment means 6 are in contact with the sliding trail 2.
  • Figure 5 shows another modification of the hybrid amusement slide 1.
  • Sections S7 and S8 correspond to sections S1 and S2 shown in Figure 3 .
  • the ring 7 detaches from the attachment means 6.
  • section S9 another ring 7 is waiting for the user U accommodated by the attachment means 6, in particular the seat 6a.
  • the attachment means 6 engage with the new ring 7 at the transition from section S8 to section S9 and the slide continues with the new ring 7.
  • vehicle transport means which collect the vehicle, in the present example the ring 7, detached from the attachment means 6 in section S8 and transporting the collected ring 7 to the transition from section S8 to section S9.
  • Figure 6 shows another modification of the hybrid amusement slide 1.
  • the movement path has section S10 and a section S11, wherein section S10 corresponds to section S2 of Figure 2 or section S8 of Figure 5 .
  • Section S11 corresponds to section S3 of Figure 3 or section S9 of Figure 5 , but comprises an uphill section having an ascending slope. This means that the movement path of the hybrid amusement slide 1 moves upwards in the uphill section.
  • the user U can accomplish the uphill section based on remaining kinetic energy or there can be a drive system for delivering additional energy to the user U in the uphill section.
  • the drive system can act on the running gear 5, the attachment means 6, the ring 7 or a combination thereof.
  • the ring 7 is not present. This means that, in section S11, the attachment means 6a are in contact with the sliding trail 2.
  • Figure 7 shows another embodiment of a hybrid amusement slide 11.
  • the slide 11 comprises a sliding trail 12 similar to the sliding trail 2 of the previous embodiment and a gliding system 13 comprising a rope 14 as the guide means and a harness 16a for accommodating the user U.
  • the harness 16a is attached to a running gear 15, which runs along the rope 14, via the attachment means 16.
  • the part of the movement path of the slide 11 shown in Figure 7 has three sections S12, S13 and S14.
  • section S12 only the gliding system 13, but not the sliding trail 12 is present.
  • the user U slides or glides along the rope 14 only.
  • section S13 both the sliding trail 12 and the gliding system 13 are present.
  • the vertical distance between the rope 14 and the sliding trail 12 gradually decreases until the user U is in contact with the sliding trail 12.
  • the user U is both supported from below by the sliding trail 12 and suspended from above by the gliding system 13.
  • the harness 16a detaches from the attachment means 16 such that, in section S14 of the movement path of the slide 11, the user U is only supported from below by the sliding trail 12.
  • the rope 14 ends shortly after the harness 16a is detached from the attachment means 16.
  • the harness 16a might remain attached to the attachment means 16, and thus to the guide means 14, in section 14, such that the user U is supported from below and suspended from above in this section.
  • the running gear 15 can have at least one wheel for rolling along the rope 14, at least one gliding surface for gliding along the rope 14 or a combination thereof.
  • Figure 8 shows a modification of the slide 11 of Figure 7 in terms of other sections S15, S16 and S17 of the movement path of the hybrid amusement slide 11.
  • section S15 both the sliding trail 12 and the gliding system 13 are present, such that the user U is both supported from below and suspended from above.
  • section S16 only the gliding system 13 is present, but not the sliding trail 12, such that the user is only suspended from above in section S16.
  • Section S17 is a brake section in which, like in section S16, only the gliding system 13 is present, but not the sliding trail 12.
  • the user U is slowed down in a brake run 18, in particular to a complete stop, for example by braking the running gear 15.
  • the attachment means 16 are detached from the running gear 15 or the harness 16a is detached from the attachment means 16, such that the user U can leave the hybrid amusement slide 11.
  • Figure 10 shows a third embodiment of a hybrid amusement slide 21 comprising a sliding trail 22 and a gliding system 23.
  • the gliding system 23 comprises a rope 24, a running gear 25 gliding or rolling along the rope 24, attachment means 26 connected to the running gear 25 and a harness 26a attached to the attachment means 26.
  • the user U is attached to the harness 26a and rests on a ring 27 as an embodiment of the vehicle.
  • the movement path of the slide 21 shown in Figure 10 has three sections S18, S19 and S20.
  • section S18 the gliding system 23 is present, but not the sliding trail 22.
