Description

【００１１】
先ず、図４に示すように、遊園地等に設置される観覧車の一例として、地面Ｋに構築された支持脚１０４の上端に、回転軸（中心軸）１００を中心としてスポーク１０１およびリム１０２より構成される旋回輪（移動手段）１０３が回転可能に支持されている。前記リム１０２には、連結棒１１を介して後述する回転キャビン５（図１参照）が放射状に複数設けられている。[0011]
First, as shown in FIG. 4 , as an example of a ferris wheel installed in an amusement park or the like, the spokes 101 and rims 102 center on the rotation axis (central axis) 100 at the upper end of the support legs 104 constructed on the ground K. A pivoting wheel (moving means) 103 configured by the above is rotatably supported. A plurality of rotating cabins 5 (see FIG. 1), which will be described later, are provided radially on the rim 102 via the connecting rods 11.

【００１２】
図１および図２に示すように、例えば観覧車の旋回輪１０３（図４参照）には、一対の円形枠１０がそれぞれ連結棒１１を介して複数組放射状に設けられており、この一対の円形枠１０には、外装としての透明な強化ブラスチックからなるキャビンカバー１５が円形枠１０の中心軸線Ｓ回りに回転自在に取り付けられている。キャビンカバー１５は開閉出入口（不図示）を備え、キャビンカバー１５の長手方向は前記中心軸線Ｓと一致している。本例のキャビンカバー１５はほぼ卵型になっているが、これに限定されない。キャビンカバー１５内の下部には床２０が固定され、キャビンカバー１５と床２０とにより回転キャビン５（眺望キャビン）が構成されている。回転キャビン５内の搭乗者はキャビンカバー１５を通して外界を見ることができるようになっている。[0012]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, a pair of circular frames 10 are provided radially in pairs via connecting rods 11 on a turning wheel 103 (see FIG. 4 ) of a ferris wheel. A cabin cover 15 made of a transparent reinforced plastic as an exterior is rotatably mounted on the circular frame 10 around a central axis S of the circular frame 10. The cabin cover 15 is provided with an opening and closing opening (not shown), and the longitudinal direction of the cabin cover 15 coincides with the central axis S. Although the cabin cover 15 of this example is substantially egg shaped, it is not limited to this. A floor 20 is fixed to a lower portion in the cabin cover 15, and the cabin cover 15 and the floor 20 constitute a rotating cabin 5 (view cabin). A passenger in the rotating cabin 5 can see the outside through the cabin cover 15.

Claims
