Les manèges forains utilisant des véhicules tels que les auto tamponneuses permettent à leur utilisateur de se déplacer sur une surface appelée piste, chaque utilisateur étant libre de Fairground rides using vehicles such as bumper cars allow their user to move on a surface called track, each user being free to
se déplacer comme bon lui semble sur cette piste. move as he sees fit on this track.
Le véhicule peut être du type classique c'est-à-dire avec son moteur situé à l'avant du véhicule, le siège positionné sur l'arrière au niveau de l'essieu, ce siège reposant sur le support de la perche qui fait contact avec le grillage pour l'alimentation du véhicule, la pédale de commande étant 30 située sur le côté du moteur. Un tel véhicule apporte une maniabilité rigoureuse mais dépourvue de grande originalité lors du déplacement du véhicule ou de la direction prise par The vehicle can be of the conventional type, that is to say with its engine located at the front of the vehicle, the seat positioned on the rear at the axle, this seat resting on the support of the pole which makes contact with the screen for supplying the vehicle, the control pedal being located on the side of the engine. Such a vehicle provides rigorous handling but devoid of great originality when moving the vehicle or the direction taken by
le véhicule.the vehicle.
L'invention a donc également pour but de proposer un nouveau véhicule pour manège forain qui présente des effets différents de conduite comme par exemple, un effet de glisse latérale. Ainsi, l'invention a également pour objet un véhicule pour manège forain comportant un châssis sur lequel sont montés, des moyens de propulsion et de direction, une perche pour 10 l'alimentation, un siège pour un conducteur, des moyens de commande des moyens de propulsion et un organe de commande de direction dudit véhicule, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de propulsion et de direction sont localisés à l'arrière dudit véhicule. De manière avantageuse, avec un véhicule selon l'invention, on obtient une meilleure maniabilité ainsi qu'un effet de glisse latérale donnant au conducteur l'impression de conduire un karting auto-tamponneuse. Le conducteur du 20 véhicule peut ainsi faire évoluer le véhicule par le biais d'un organe de commande tel qu'un volant ou encore un manche de commande du type " joystick " qui reproduit l'effet multidirectionnel du véhicule d'origine mais à propulsion arrière. Ainsi, de manière avantageuse, le véhicule selon l'invention comporte un moteur de propulsion placé à l'arrière du châssis, un siège pour le conducteur placé à l'avant du moteur tandis que le support de perche recouvre ledit moteur, 30 le ou les conducteurs se retrouvant dos au moteur. La pédale de commande du véhicule se situe entre l'essieu et l'extrémité de la voiture à l'avant ce qui permet au conducteur d'allonger les jambes en direction de l'essieu et d'actionner à l'aide du pied la pédale de mise en route du moteur. Cette fonction de commande de mise en marche du véhicule peut également se faire à l'aide du manche de commande dit " joystick " qui se substitue ainsi à l'utilisation de la pédale. On décrira maintenant l'invention plus en détail en référence au dessin dans lequel: la figure 1 représente une vue en plan du dessous d'un véhicule selon l'invention; la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale du véhicule de la figure 1, la figure 3 représente une vue agrandie de la partie avant du véhicule de la figure 2; et The invention therefore also aims to provide a new vehicle for fairground riding which has different driving effects such as, for example, a side gliding effect. Thus, the invention also relates to a vehicle for a fairground ride comprising a chassis on which are mounted, propulsion and steering means, a pole for feeding, a seat for a driver, means for controlling the means propulsion and a steering control member of said vehicle, characterized in that the propulsion and steering means are located at the rear of said vehicle. Advantageously, with a vehicle according to the invention, better maneuverability is obtained as well as a side gliding effect giving the driver the impression of driving a bumper car. The driver of the vehicle can thus make the vehicle evolve by means of a control member such as a steering wheel or even a control stick of the "joystick" type which reproduces the multidirectional effect of the original vehicle but powered back. Thus, advantageously, the vehicle according to the invention comprises a propulsion motor placed at the rear of the chassis, a seat for the driver placed at the front of the motor while the pole support covers said motor, the or with the drivers facing their backs to the engine. The vehicle's control pedal is located between the axle and the end of the car at the front, which allows the driver to extend his legs towards the axle and operate the foot with the foot. engine start pedal. This vehicle start-up control function can also be done using the “joystick” control stick, which thus replaces the use of the pedal.
