Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an underwater maze that can be simulated for underwater walks by being provided in a pool in a water park or an amusement park.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional maze game, there are mazes provided on land, but none are provided underwater.

[0003] There are facilities for enjoying the sense of underwater in a tunnel provided in the sea or in an aquarium tank, but there is no facility that can freely move between the water and the water surface.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an underwater maze in which an underwater walk can be easily simulated and an athletic play can be performed.

[0005]

An underwater maze according to the present invention is a maze composed of a cylindrical body made of a transparent material, which is stretched underwater so that the maze can enter and exit from the surface of the water. .

Further, a net on which a player can climb is placed in the space on the maze so that the player can move between the maze and the net.

In the underwater maze according to the present invention, a player can easily enter and exit the maze from the poolside or the like. Since the maze is formed of a cylindrical body made of a transparent material, the player who enters the maze feels as if he is walking underwater.

Also, by providing a maze with a height difference,
In addition to simply walking in the maze, it is possible to enjoy playing like a slide by using the inclined portion of the maze.

[0009] In addition, by stretching the net in the space on the maze, it is possible to enjoy athletic play as well as walking underwater.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the underwater maze of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front sectional view showing an example of the underwater maze of the present invention. The underwater maze 1 is provided in the pool 2 with a difference in elevation, and is configured by connecting transparent pipes made of a plastic material.

In the space above the underwater maze 1, there is a net 3 on which a player can climb.

The underwater maze 1 is supported by the bottom surface 2a of the pool 2 and is fixed to the bottom surface 2a by fixing hardware 4. The underwater maze 1 is provided with an entrance 5 through which the player can enter and exit from the pool side 2b.
Can enter the underwater maze 1.

A tower 6 protruding into the air from the underwater maze 1 is provided in a substantially central portion of the underwater maze 1, and a net 3 is provided. The tower 6 is also provided with an entrance 7 so that a player in the underwater maze 1 can use the tower.
By the step 8 provided in 6, it is possible to climb to the entrance 7, and from this entrance 7, it is possible to move onto the net 3.

Since the periphery of the net 3 is fixed to the pool side 2b by the net fixing portion 9, a player who has moved from the tower 6 to the net 3 can play on the net 3 like an athletic. To the underside maze 1 through the entrance 5 provided in the pool side 2b.

In the aerial portion of the pool 2 relatively close to the water surface, an opening 10 is provided to allow access to the outside of the underwater maze 1 so as to be able to climb from the underwater maze 1 by step 11. The opening 10 is provided with a platform 13 to which a handrail 12 for safety is attached, and the platform 13 can be moved to the net 3 from the platform 13.

In the unlikely event that the pipe used in the underwater maze 1 is broken for some reason, the water in the pool 2 is
, A sensor 14 provided at the lowest part of the underwater maze 1 detects inundation. When the sensor 14 detects the inundation, the signal is sent to the control box 15. The control box 15 receives the signal and issues a command to a solenoid valve 17 and a drain pump 18 provided in a drain pipe 16 connected to the underwater maze 1. As a result, the electromagnetic valve 17 is opened, the drain pump 18 is operated, and draining is started.

The drain pipe 16 is originally connected to the drain port 19 through the pool 2.
However, when draining the water submerged in the underwater maze 1, the water in the pool 2 is also drained at the same time to ensure safety.

The underwater maze 1 is provided with a plurality of vent pipes 20 at a plurality of locations so that even if the water of the pool 2 is flooded in the underwater maze 1,
Make sure that no more than half of the maze cross section is flooded.
The internal space volume of the underwater maze is designed.

An image of a fish or the sea floor in the sea may be projected on the side wall or the bottom surface of the pool, so that it is as if the user is walking in the sea.

[0020]

According to the present invention, it is possible to simulate an underwater walk or play in a maze at a pool such as a water park or an amusement park.
