Description

DESCRIPTION

Roller coaster

The invention relates to a roller coaster according to the features of claim 1.

Rail attractions such as roller coasters are well known and increasingly popular due to the pleasure experienced by passengers. A rail attraction is known, for example, from EP 2 298 426 B1 or US5791254. This attraction provides for a vehicle with multiple passenger receptacles for passengers. The vehicle has one or more rows of passenger receptacles, where the two central passenger receptacles are configured with a footrest in the form of a bottom plate. This bottom plate serves, on the one hand, to cover the rails and, on the other hand, as a comfortable footrest for the passengers. The two seats to the left and right of the center passenger pods are instead equipped without such a footrest, in order to convey to the passengers seated in the outer passenger pods the illusion of a free-floating ride. Therefore, the illusion is conveyed in particular as the passengers who take seats in the outer passenger compartments circulate "floorless", that is, they can look down freely, and they can let their feet dangle freely since the footrest is missing.

In addition to the rail attraction with two differently configured passenger receptacles, in which passengers sitting outside during the roller coaster ride can let their feet swing freely, similar attractions have already been known under the designation ' wing-coaster '. On these so-called 'winged roller coasters' coasters, passengers sit in their passenger sockets on the left and right side of the lane, where the passengers are not hindered either downward due to footrests or upward due to footrests. to some structure of the attraction. The illusion of free flight while riding similar roller coasters can therefore be adequately felt.

However, problematic on these known rail rides is the fact that the illusion of free flight is too disturbing in particular for fearful passengers. Furthermore, safety aspects cannot be optimally satisfied when the passenger's feet hang freely in the air without any kind of restraint. Thus, for example, in particular in the summer months it can happen that passengers with looser footwear, such as p. ex. sandals or flip-flops, lose it during the trip, since any type of footrests are missing in these passenger receptacles. Such thrown shoes endanger not only other riders of the rail ride, but in particular the spectators on the ground as well. This danger is all the greater the more spectacular the driving figures are and the faster the vehicle passes over the lane. Finally, it can also happen that passengers who, for example, take their seats for the first time in such passenger receptacles without any type of footrest, are deprived of any type of future taste due to the feeling of insecurity and therefore are not ride more on a roller coaster.

This is where the present invention comes into play.

The invention has the object of specifying a roller coaster in which the passenger receptacles are offered with different sensation when riding on one and the same roller coaster, where passenger receptacles will be prepared in which the sensation of a free-floating ride is amplified. however, the security aspects are satisfied.

This objective is achieved by means of a roller coaster with the characteristics of claim 1. Another solution of this objective is the object of claim 10.

Improvements of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The solution according to the invention is essentially based on the fact that for the passengers of a roller coaster, in one and the same roller coaster, a vehicle with several passenger receptacles is made available, where the passenger in a first passenger receptacle, as per For example a vehicle seat, you may feel a completely different ride sensation than in a second passenger receptacle, such as a passenger seat placed next to it. In this regard, the first passenger receptacles are preferably located above the rail layout and have a flat-shaped and preferably non-transparent footrest, such as a foot plate for example. Passengers, who take a seat in these first passenger compartments, have a high sense of security in these first passenger compartments, as they can rest their feet completely on the large footrest. Additionally, this sense of security is amplified because a downward gaze is avoided by using the flat foot plate and, consequently, fearful people who react, for example, in a very sensitive way, always have the feeling of having a ground under your feet. Furthermore, the flat footrest shields the feet of the people received in the first passenger receptacles securely from the rails, so that therefore there is no danger for passengers to put their feet between the rails. Additionally, this flat footrest can be stepped on by passengers when getting on and off the associated passenger pods.

The second passenger receptacles are not provided according to the invention with a similar flat footrest, but with a bar-shaped footrest, so that the gaze downwards is considerably free and the Passengers who take seats in the second passenger pods can look down almost unhindered. However, these passengers can rest their feet safely on the footrest in the form of a bar, as long as it is desired by the passengers, so that in this sense a high sense of security is achieved in the passengers. Furthermore, such passengers, possibly wearing loose footwear, for example sandals or flip-flops or the like, can rest their feet and consequently their shoes securely on the bar-shaped footrests, so that a unintended fall of these shoes. These bar-shaped footrests can also be used when loading and unloading passengers in the second passenger pods as a stepping aid. This is especially favorable in particular for smaller people, when the vehicle enters a station and passengers get on or off the platform in a simple way by stepping on the bar-shaped footrest located somewhat higher on their vehicle seat.

While the bar-shaped footrest is preferably used for passenger receptacles on rail rides with differently configured passenger receptacles, it is also found within the framework of the invention that the bar-shaped foot receptacle is also used. on those roller coasters that only feature the same passenger receptacles. Examples of similar roller coasters are the roller coasters mentioned at the beginning as "wing-coaster". On these roller coasters, the passenger receptacles are exclusively positioned laterally next to the rails, that is, to the left and right of the rails. The passenger compartments are all identical or almost identical and have hitherto no footrests. With the present invention, all or only a part of the "wing-coaster" type mountain passenger receptacles can also be provided with footrests in the form of a bar, in order to increase the feeling of security of the passengers received therein.

In a further development of the invention, the bar-shaped footrests are configured in a U-shape or at least approximately in a U-shape. In this connection, the two free ends of such a U-shaped arm are preferably attached to a seat substructure. of the passenger compartment in a fixed way, for example, by means of screws. Such a U-shaped arm-shaped configuration of the bar-shaped footrest is distinguished by a high mechanical stability compared to similar bar-shaped footrests, which are configured in an L-shape and are only mounted on one arm in the construction of the ground side of a passenger receptacle. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to use such L-shaped bar-shaped footrests in the roller coaster according to the invention.

Preferably, the bar-shaped footrests are removably attached to the passenger socket. This has the advantage that passenger receptacles can also be provided in which no footrests are mounted at all, so that there is the possibility of providing a roller coaster with three differently configured passenger receptacles: a first receptacle with a footrest flat, preferably non-transparent, a second receptacle with a bar-shaped footrest and a third receptacle without any type of footrest. If necessary, the bar-shaped footrests can also be foldable and / or pivotable arranged in the respective second passenger compartment. Such a folding or pivoting arrangement of the bar-shaped footrest has the advantage that a passenger can decide at will whether or not he wants to use the bar-shaped footrest when riding the roller coaster.

Conveniently, the bar-shaped footrests are configured such that it cannot slip when the feet are placed on the bar-shaped footrest. This can be achieved, for example, in that an anti-slip layer, such as a rubber coating, is applied at least in sections on the bar-shaped footrest. Other measures are also possible, such as, for example, scratching the surface of the footrest in the form of a bar.

According to the invention, it is provided that the distance of the bar-shaped footrest or the area placed on the bar-shaped footrest in which the passengers can rest their feet is exactly equal to or approximately equal to the distance that the flat footrest has with respect to the respective seat that belongs to the flat footrest. These measures have the decisive advantage that passengers, who take their seats on such a roller coaster, for safety reasons, first of all on the first passenger compartments with the corresponding flat footrest and place their feet there, on a subsequent journey can switch to the second passenger pods located preferably outside and there they can support their feet in a similar way, so they feel a sense of increased security compared to the free suspension of the feet and yet - almost - they have the feeling of a free-floating ride, as the downward gaze is freed thanks to the omission of a flat footrest.

Furthermore, according to the invention it is provided that the second passenger sockets with the bar-shaped footrests are positioned higher compared to the plane of the rails than the first passenger sockets, to which the footrest is associated. In this regard, these second passenger sockets with the bar-shaped footrests are also preferably positioned laterally offset from the first passenger sockets. An arrangement of this type has the advantage that the roller coaster can have a station with platforms reaching flat to the first passenger receptacles. Second passenger receptacles are located on vehicles entering the station on the contrary above the platform, so that the passengers seated there can easily get on and off in these passenger receptacles. The bar-shaped footrests serve passengers there as a stepping aid to get on and off. In this regard, the bar-shaped footrests of the second passenger pods are positioned above (e.g. at a distance of approximately 20 cm or more) from the platform, so that when the vehicle enters the station, a collision of the outer passenger receptacles or the feet of the passengers standing on them can be safely avoided in any case. the platform.

It is preferable that at least a second row of seats is provided. The respective seating direction of the passenger receptacles in the second row of seats may be oriented in the direction of travel of the vehicle or in the opposite direction. The passenger sockets in the second row of seats can also have bar-shaped footrests or other footrests, which are offset rearwardly preferably in the seating direction and can be arranged below the seating surface within the projection of the seating surface. Furthermore, it is particularly advantageous if only the last row of seats is rotated in the direction of travel of the vehicle, so that the passengers in the last row of seats experience a special experience, namely, on the one hand, the sensation of a journey. floating freely and, on the other hand, you cannot see the route yet to be passed by the passengers. The at least one second row of seats can be configured in a similar way to the at least one first row of seats.

The roller coaster according to the invention is explained in more detail below by means of several exemplary embodiments with eight figures. They show:

FIG. 1 a first embodiment of a roller coaster vehicle with altogether eight passenger receptacles that are arranged in two rows;

Figure 2 one of the rows of seats with four seating positions of the vehicle of Figure 1 in perspective view;

Figure 3 a row of seats of Figure 2 in side view;

FIG. 4 a second example of embodiment of a row of seats of a vehicle;

FIG. 5 a third embodiment of a row of vehicle seats;

Figure 6 a fourth example of embodiment of a row of vehicle seats,

Figure 7 a fifth example of embodiment of a row of seats of a vehicle, and

Figure 8 a sixth example of a first and a second row of seats of a roller coaster vehicle.

In the following figures, unless otherwise indicated, the same references designate the same parts with the same meaning.

A first exemplary embodiment of a roller coaster vehicle 10 is shown in FIG. 1. For greater clarity, the section of rail on which the vehicle moves is not represented in figure 1. The vehicle 10 has a vehicle chassis 10a, on the upper side of which several passenger receptacles 20, 40 are placed together. These passenger receptacles 20, 40 are subdivided into two rows of seats, namely a first row of seats 11 and a second row of seats 12, so that in each row of seats four passenger receptacles 20 are respectively arranged, 40 next to each other. Each passenger receptacle 20, 40 has a seating direction in which a passenger who takes a seat looks as due in the passenger receptacles 20, 40. On the lower side of the chassis 10a are mounted the wheels 13 with which the vehicle 10 can be moved on the rails of the roller coaster.

As seen in more detail from Figures 2 and 3, the various passenger receptacles 20, 40 are specially provided with footrests 22, 42.

The two central passenger receptacles 20, which are hereinafter referred to as first passenger receptacles 20, of each of the rows 11, 12 have a common flat footrest 22 which is configured, for example, as a foot plate or foot plate. bottom or foot plate. Each of the first passenger receptacles 20 has in this regard seats with a seating surface 28 and a front seat edge 27. The seating surfaces 28 of these first passenger receptacles 20 are slightly inclined to the rear -referred to the direction of travel F of the vehicle 10 - and the seat direction is oriented in the direction of travel F. The distance between the front seat edge 27 of these first seat pockets 20 and the flat footrest 22 is designated, as can be recognized of figure 3, with the reference A. The distance A can be, for example, between 40 and 50 cm and vary at will depending on the roller coaster. It is only important that most people riding the roller coaster can actually use the 22 flat footrest to support their feet. As seen in particular in Figures 2 and 3, the flat footrest 22 clearly protrudes in the direction of travel F or the seating direction of the front seat edge 27 of the first passenger receptacle 20. As is further shown in Figure 2, the Flat footrest 22 is a common flat footrest 22 for the two central passenger pods 20. Similarly, in the second row of seats 12, the first center passenger pods 20 provided there are equipped with a similar flat footrest 22.

The outer passenger pods 40, hereinafter referred to as second passenger pods 40, have a footrest 42 configured completely differently. The footrests 42 provided therein, associated with the respective second passenger receptacle 40, are configured as bar-shaped footrests 42. In the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, this bar-shaped footrest 42 is configured in the shape of a U and is preferably removably attached, e.g. ex. by means of screws, with their distal ends of the respective two U-shaped arms on the seat frame 44. The detachable fixing has the decisive advantage that, depending on the need, the bar-shaped footrests 42 can or cannot be screwed into the respective second passenger receptacles 40. This bar-shaped 42 and preferably U-shaped footrest is fixed in the rear area underneath on the seat frame 44 and is folded forward in L-shaped side view in the direction of travel F or seat direction, so that the passengers, who are received in the second passenger receptacle 40, find a secure support with their feet on these footrests.

As seen from the representation of FIG. 3, the front end of the bar-shaped footrest 42 does not protrude in the seating direction beyond the front seat edge 27. Thanks to this measurement and the bar-shaped configuration of the footrest 42 ensures that a passenger received in the second passenger receptacle 40 is not hindered in his downward gaze in any way, so that the feeling of a free-floating ride can be conveyed. Furthermore, the passenger received in the second passenger receptacle 40 is free to decide at any time to let his legs swing freely downwards, when he does not want to rest with his feet on the bar-shaped footrest 42. In this way You can also further enhance the illusion of a free-floating ride. However, for those people who feel insecure, the bar-shaped footrest 42 offers an ideal possibility to be able to support themselves with their feet.This support is especially useful when the passenger received in the second passenger compartment 40 is wearing loose footwear, as p. ex. sandals or flip-flops. Thanks to the support of the feet, it can be guaranteed that during a roller coaster ride you do not accidentally lose your shoes. This section is provided in figure 2 with reference 43.

Conveniently, a section that is provided for foot rest on the bar-shaped footrest 42 is provided with an anti-slip coating, e.g. ex. a rubber-like coating or a bar-shaped footrest scraping 42.

As clarified from the side view of Figure 3, the distance B between the front seat edge 47 and the front area of the bar-shaped footrest 42, on which a passenger can rest with their feet, is equal large or preferably as large as the distance between the front seat edge 27 and the flat footrest 22 of the first passenger receptacle 20. Furthermore, from Figure 3 it can be recognized that the bar-shaped footrests 42 are located within a projection 65 of the seating surface 48 of the second passenger receptacle 40, that is, they do not extend beyond the projected seating surface 48. This projected seating surface is designated in Figure 3 by reference 65. From this This ensures that the bar-shaped footrest 42 is in any case below the seating surface and does not extend beyond it and thus does not obstruct the gaze of a passenger sitting down. a in the second passenger receptacle 40.

However, in this context it should be mentioned that the bar-shaped footrest 42 can also protrude forward from the seat ridge 47 in the direction of travel F, in order to allow the passengers also later a footrest when they do not want to bend their legs and feet backwards, in order to rest their feet on the footrest 42. A similar footrest 42, elongated in the direction of travel F is indicated in figure 3 by a dashed extension of the footrest in the form of a bar 42 in the direction of travel F.

In FIG. 4 a row of seats 11 is represented, which broadly corresponds to the first embodiment shown above. However, the bar-shaped footrest 42 presented there is clearly configured shorter when viewed in the direction of travel F or in the direction of seating, so that the front area of the flat footrest 42 does not protrude from the seating surface 48 and in particular, not of the front seat edge 47 of the second passenger receptacle 40. The bar-shaped footrest 42, which is also configured in a U-shape in this embodiment of FIG. 4, is better placed inside a projection surface of the seating surface 28 of the second passenger receptacle 40. The essential advantage of such a shortened configured bar-shaped footrest 42 is that a passenger received in the second passenger receptacle 40 is not hindered at all in his look down for some structure. Consequently, the feeling of a free-floating ride is optimally satisfied at least optically for the respective passenger.

Figure 5 shows a third embodiment of the passenger receptacles 20, 40 of a first row of seats 11 of a roller coaster. The exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5 largely resembles the exemplary embodiments shown above, where the bar-shaped footrest 42 is now not configured in a U-shape, but only as bolts that run straight out of the seat frame at left and right orthogonal to the direction of travel F. These bolts are rearranged so that they do not protrude from a projection 65 of the seating surface 48 of the second passenger receptacle 40.

Figure 6 shows a fourth embodiment, which differs from the aforementioned embodiments of the passenger receptacles in two points. On the one hand, at the right end of the row of seats 11 directed towards the observer there is another passenger receptacle 60, on the lower side of which below the seat surface rests another footrest 62, which is not bar-shaped but now plate-shaped and has a central opening 63. In this respect, the other footrest 62 is designed so that it is again arranged underneath from the seating surface of the other passenger receptacle 60 and does not protrude from the outer lip of the seat. The projection of the seat of the other foot receptacle 60 is designated in FIG. 6 again with the reference 65. From FIG. 6 it can be recognized that the other footrest 62 is associated exclusively with the other foot receptacle 60 represented on the right in Figure 6. This other footrest 62 serves exclusively for a passenger who has taken a seat in the other passenger receptacle 60. On the contrary, the flat footrest 22 serves for two passengers who find their place in the two central passenger receptacles 20. In FIG. 6, another passenger compartment 70 can be fully recognized on the left, which does not have any footrests at all. Accordingly, this row of seats, as shown in Figure 6, offers passenger receptacles 20, 60 and 70, for three different riding sensations.

Figure 7 shows a fifth embodiment example. This receiving example differs from the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 6 in that the footrest 67 shown in FIG. 7 is configured in the form of a plate, however, it does not have a central opening.

Until now, only the different embodiments of passenger receptacles for a roller coaster according to the invention have been explained. With reference to figure 2 the situation that occurs when vehicles enter a roller coaster station with such explained passenger receptacles is still finally explained. In figure 2 the situation of the vehicle in a station is outlined schematically. The vehicle (of which only the first row of seats 11 is represented) enters the station on lanes 1. The station has platforms 3 located to the left and right of lanes 1, which are configured so that they arrive up to close to the flat footrest 22 and preferably end flush in plane with respect to this flat footrest 22. This ensures that passengers getting on or off in the first two receptacles 20 can easily get on or off the platform 3 to through the flat footrest 22 on the seats. For this, the passengers must step on the platform 3 only on the flat footrest 22 and then take a seat in the first passenger receptacle 20.

As shown in figure 2, the two platforms 3 protrude below the two, that is, second outer passenger receptacles 40. Therefore, passengers who want to take a seat in these second passenger receptacles 40, generally only need to be standing on the platforms 3 and from there they can climb directly into the second passenger receptacles 40. Given that in the illustrated embodiment, the two second outer passenger receptacles 40 are positioned somewhat higher than the first two passenger receptacles 40. passenger 20 located in the middle, the bar-shaped footrests 42 advantageously serve as a boarding aid, while the passengers step on the bar-shaped footrests 42 when riding in the second passenger receptacles 40, in order to be able to climb easily in the seats 48 of the second passenger receptacles 40 or take a seat there. This is very advantageous in particular for small people.

Figure 8 shows a roller coaster with at least two rows of seats 11, 12. Unlike the embodiments shown above, only the respective seat direction of the second row of seats 12 is not oriented in the direction of travel F of the vehicle 10, but rather that the seating direction of the passenger receptacles 20, 40 of the second rows of seats 12 is oriented in the opposite direction to the direction of travel F. The passengers in or on the first or second receptacles 20, 40 in the second row of seats 12 they therefore ride on their backs and look properly to the rear.

The first passenger pods 20 of the second row of seats 12 have a common flat footrest 22, which, unlike the flat footrest 22 of the first row of seats 12, now clearly protrudes from the front seat edges 27 of the first passenger pods. 20 in the opposite direction to the direction of travel F of the vehicle 10 - but previously as now in the seating direction as in the interior inserted embodiments. The second passenger sockets 40 also have footrests 42, which can be configured similarly to the bar-shaped footrests or other footrests 42 or 62 discussed so far.

The bar-shaped footrests 42 or the other footrests 62 of the second row of seats 12 are preferably arranged - as shown - within the projection 65 of the seat surface 48 of the second passenger receptacle 40, that is, they do not extend beyond the projected seating surface 48, whereby the footrests 42, 62 are not seen by the passenger in the second passenger receptacle 40 during the roller coaster ride and the feeling of a free-floating ride is amplified, however, the security aspects are further satisfied. The bar-shaped footrest 42, but also the other footrest 62 (not shown) in the second row 12 therefore does not project in the seating direction from the front seat edge 47 of the second passenger compartment 40.

The second passenger receptacles 40 in the second row of seats 12 can be arranged, viewed in the direction of travel F or in the direction of seats, forwards or backwards analogously to the embodiment described above. In particular, it is preferable that the row of seats 11 and the second row of seats 12 are arranged with mirror symmetry.

The second passenger receptacles 40 in the second row of seats 12 can also be positioned higher relative to the plane of the rails than the first passenger receptacles 20.
