In the summer, cool air is blown by a blower or heat insulation. Adjust the temperature by covering with materials,
There are ways to take countermeasures, but it seems that these are not particularly necessary for high speed and short rides.

In the case of a circular track, the vehicle body 2 is
A stable running is expected by uniformly applying air pressure to the vehicle body 2 by adopting the circular shape with the same cross section as above, but it is not specified as a circular vehicle body. Four running tires 3 are mounted on the line in contact with the track, and in an arc-shaped track, on the extension of the center 0 of the radius of the track and in contact with the track, four running tires 3 are attached to the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle body.

Tires 4 should also use no-puncture tires for safety.
The caster of the guide tire should be equipped with a lock mechanism to stop the rotation because it is possible to retreat at the getting on / off position. Attach it at four places, also in the extension line of the center 0 point of the track in this case.

The center of gravity of the front and rear of the vehicle body and the center of the left and right running tires 3 are set so that the center of gravity is always lowered on the track without rails, the running tire 3 is brought into close contact with the track 1, the body 2 is always guided in the direction of gravity, and the running is stable. Attach the balance weight 5 near the lower part.

An air path 6 is provided in the space between the seat under the vehicle body 2 and the balance weight 5, and when passing through the closed circular orbit 1, the air inside is compressed. This is not particularly necessary in the case of an arc-shaped orbit in which the movement of the vehicle body 2 is made smooth by improving the flow.

A vertical stabilizer 7 is mounted on a vertical line at the center of the vehicle body 2, has the effect of rectifying air and preventing left and right sway especially at high speed, and also serves as a reinforcing material for supporting a load applied from the front of the induction tire 4. .

A reinforcing plate 8 for supporting a load applied to the left and right of the induction tire 4 is attached.

In the case of a circular track, it is not possible to get on and off if the track is a circular track at the entry / exit and stop positions, and it is impossible to press the brake tire 21 against the brake plate 9 of the vehicle body 2. The guide plate 20 is mounted so that the vehicle body 2 is guided horizontally and the brake tire 21 contacts the brake plate 9 accurately. When the vehicle body 2 is stopped, the guide tire 12 and the guide plate 20 mounted on the vehicle body 2 are attached. The brake plate 9 is elastically guided to the stop position by making contact with the brake plate 9, and the brake tire 21 is pressed against the brake plate 9 attached to the left and right sides of the vehicle body from the left and right with the horizontal line at the center 0 point of the track 1 as a center.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In this embodiment, the vehicle body 2 is ridden right and left from the upper center by a flip-up type door 13; 4,
Fig. 5 for two-seater and Fig. 6 for four-seater, Fig. 7 for sitting and wearing a seatbelt. Cushioning on five surfaces other than the upper surface inside the vehicle body to improve riding comfort, battery, digital speed meter, illumination. Also, a generator with a simple structure attached to a bicycle is attached to the running tire 3, and the light at the head of the circular track is shown in FIGS. Supplies electricity to the internal digital speedometer, illumination, etc. The following describes the embodiment from departure to stop
The vehicle body 2 is raised to a high place by a chain or a wire rope. The track 1 is fixed to a sleeper 17 and a support 18 in FIG.
9, 10, 16, and columns 18 are installed at predetermined pitches. The cross section of the track 1 is formed by curves, ups and downs, and straight lines with a fixed circle or circular arc. Is painted in a predetermined position with fluorescent paint. Vehicles lifted from a low place to a high place are released at the highest position and descend the track at the highest speed. When the vehicle body 2 is pressed against the lower part of the track while being pressed against the lower part of the track, the running tire moves rightward like a pendulum around the track center due to centrifugal force. FIG. 8, there is no rail, so smooth cornering without shock occurs. When it hits the horizontal part, the body pressed to the lower part is slightly pushed up to the upper part of the track due to inertia.
When the vehicle turns right while descending from a horizontal part, the running tire 3 is brought into close contact with the track 1 due to the effect of the weight balance 5, and the centrifugal force is applied. In Fig. 9, the running tire moves to the left due to the force. In addition, a digital speedometer, illumination, etc., operating in response to the speed inside the vehicle body while slid, operate on a circular track. The fluorescent paint applied on the inner surface of the track is illuminated by illuminating the oblique upper part of the front, and the vehicle arrives at the stop position while guiding the inclined body horizontally by guiding the guide plate while repeating such basic movement, near the stop point In FIGS. 11 and 13, the braking tire 21 is pressed against the braking plate 9 of the vehicle body 2 from the left and right by the braking tire 21 and stopped. Rotate to move to a predetermined landing position.

[0018]

By using a track without rails, smooth cornering and ride comfort without impact can be experienced.

When a track of a general coaster is installed, a total of three structural pipes and two track rail pipes are required. In the case of the circular track of the present invention, one track is used because the track itself is a pipe type. The track can be used for both the track and the structural material, so the track installation cost is low.

There is no fear of derailing due to the effects of the guide plate, the guide tire, and the like, and running such as rotation and drilling is possible.

By mounting the induction tire, there is no rollover on the track.

The running tires can move left and right, so that unexpected running can be enjoyed.

Since the vehicle body is simple, the production cost can be reduced.

In a circular orbit, thrill and tension in a closed space can be enjoyed.

Since the number of wheels is small, resistance is small and high speed can be expected.

Since there is little resistance to the wheels, it is possible to travel from a slightly higher place.

In a circular orbit, the sense of direction is lost due to high speed and cornering in the darkness that is closed, and the illusion of being sucked into a black hole, the external light that occasionally enters through the opening, and the digital type inside the vehicle body The speedometer gives even more tension, giving the illusion that the flow of illumination in response to speed enters the world of a different dimension with a time machine watched on TV and other animations, and is projected on the inside of the orbit by lights outside the body. You can experience a variety of fantasy worlds, such as creating an atmosphere in which fluorescent paint has lost your way into another world.

Even in the case of an arc-shaped track opened to the outside, the basic parts and mechanisms of the present invention are mounted at predetermined positions, and the track is tilted along the expected running path of the vehicle body so as to be guided to the guide plate. It can be expected to have smooth ride comfort without impact following the gravity, inertia and centrifugal force without tire contact.
