Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a coaster.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a coaster having a rail and a traveling vehicle traveling along the rail, a traveling vehicle may be twisted during traveling, and in such a case, in a conventional coaster, the traveling vehicle is also adapted to the twist. It rotates, and the person in the traveling vehicle also rotates with the rotation.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, in the conventional coaster, the passengers can enjoy a considerable thrill, but since the passengers are turned over, it is necessary to securely fix the passengers to the seats. The whole structure becomes complicated.

[0004] Furthermore, the passenger has a low degree of freedom, and the passenger is cramped while traveling.

Therefore, in the present invention, the passenger can get on in a relatively comfortable state, and the position of the rotary capsule on which the passenger gets on can be changed in the circumferential direction with respect to the support garter and can be enjoyed. Intended to provide coasters.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a coaster according to the present invention is a traveling rail having a support garter and a twisting portion disposed along the support garter and partially twisted with respect to the support garter. And a plurality of running frames that run along the running rails and run while rotating in a plane orthogonal to the running direction in the twisted portion, and a universal joint that connects running frames adjacent to each other. And a rotating capsule whose front end and rear end are supported by the traveling frame body by the rotating bearings to enable rotation in the above-mentioned plane and whose center of gravity is located below the pivot axis. It is a thing.

[0007]

[Action]

 The traveling frame body travels along the traveling rail, and in the torsional portion of the traveling rail, the traveling frame body travels along the torsion and rotates while rotating in a plane orthogonal to the traveling direction.

Therefore, the rotary capsule supported by the traveling frame also rotates with its rotation. In this case, the rotary capsule has its front end and rear end rotatable in the above-mentioned plane by the rotary bearing portion. Since it is supported and its center of gravity is lower than the center of pivot, the rotary capsule has a constant vertical posture based on its center of gravity, that is, the passenger keeps his or her head up. Retained.

That is, the passenger in the rotating capsule does not become inclined or inverted due to the rotation. Further, since the traveling frame bodies adjacent to each other are connected by the universal joint, each traveling frame body can travel smoothly even in the twisted portion.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.

FIG. 1 shows a coaster according to the present invention, which comprises a supporting garter 1, two traveling rails 2 and 2 arranged along the supporting garter 1, and the traveling rail 2 , 2 are provided, and a rotating frame 4 supported by the traveling frame 3 is provided.

Thus, the traveling frame body 3 is provided with the trolley parts 6 to which the wheels 5a and 5b are attached, and the coupling frame parts 7 to which the dolly parts 6 adjacent to each other are coupled.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the trolley portion 6 is made of a flat plate, and has wheels 5 a ... Rolling on the side surface of the traveling rail 2 in a sandwiched manner and the traveling rail 2. Wheels 5b that roll on the inner surface are attached, and the vehicle travels along two traveling rails 2 and 2.

The front end 7a of the connecting frame portion 7 is attached to the rear end of the truck portion 6 corresponding to the front end 7a, and the rear end 7b is attached to the front end of the truck portion 6 corresponding to the rear end 7b. 8 are connected.

Therefore, the carriage portion 6 and the connecting frame portion 7 travel integrally along the two traveling rails 2 and 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the traveling rails 2, 2 are supported by the support garter 1 via sleepers 9 ... Which are arranged in a predetermined pitch along the longitudinal direction.

The traveling rail 2 is provided with a twisted portion 10 that is twisted with respect to the support garter 1, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 2B.

Therefore, in the twisted portions 10, 10, the traveling frame body 3 travels while rotating in a plane orthogonal to the traveling direction.

That is, on the platform, the winding portion, the brake zone, etc., as shown in (a) of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the traveling rails 2 and 2 are located above the garter 1 and the traveling frame 3 The lower side 11 of the connecting frame portion 7 faces downward.

In the twisted portion 10, the traveling rail 2 is sequentially twisted with respect to the garter 1, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 2, the lower side 11 of the connecting frame portion 7 of the traveling frame body 3. May point upwards.

Next, the rotary capsule 4 is supported by the traveling frame body 3, that is, the connecting frame portion 7, so that the front end and the rear end thereof are rotatable in the above plane by the rotary bearing portions 12, 12.

In this case, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the center of gravity G of the rotary capsule 4 is located below the pivot axis O of the rotary bearings 12, 12, and the rotary capsule 4 is vertically moved. As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the posture is constant, that is, the bottom surface 13 is always held downward.

A seat 14 is provided on the rotary capsule 4, and a passenger is seated on the seat 14. A brake fin 15 is attached to the bottom surface 13 of the connecting frame portion 7.

In FIG. 1, 16 is a supporting leg for supporting the supporting garter 1, and is arranged at a predetermined pitch. In the twisted portion 10, a supporting leg 16 having a bent portion is used so as not to hinder the traveling of the traveling frame body 3 and the rotating capsule 4, as shown in FIG.

Therefore, according to the coaster configured as described above, normally (that is, the platform, the winding portion, the brake zone, etc.), as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. The capsule 4 runs above the garter 1, and at the twisted portion 10, the running frame 3 and the rotating capsule 4 sequentially rotate in a plane orthogonal to the running direction along the twist and below the garter 1. Or drive in.

While the vehicle is running, the rotary capsule 4 has a substantially constant vertical posture, and passengers can always sit on the seat 14 with their heads above.

That is, the traveling frame body 3 rotates in the twisted portion 10 in the plane orthogonal to the traveling direction, and at that time, the rotating capsule 4 slightly swings, but passengers inside the rotating capsule 4 You can always maintain a stable posture with your head up.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the design can be freely changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the number of the bogie portions 6 of the traveling frame 3 can be freely increased or decreased. The number of seats 14 of the rotating capsule 4 can be freely increased or decreased.

Further, the rotary capsule 4 may not be provided with the seat 14 and the passenger can get on the rotary capsule 4 while standing.

[0030]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Despite the traveling frame 3 rotating and traveling in the twisted portion 10 of the traveling rail 2 in a plane orthogonal to the traveling direction, the rotary capsule 4 always has a substantially constant posture (passengers keep their heads up). It is possible to maintain a stable state (posture) as a passenger and to enjoy traveling in a comfortable posture.

Even though the plurality of traveling frame bodies 3 are connected, each traveling frame body 3 can smoothly travel on the twisted portion 10.

Since the passenger is not in an inclined state or an inverted state, there is no need for equipment for fixing the passenger, and the weight and cost of the rotary capsule 4 can be reduced. You can move relatively freely inside and enjoy traveling easily.

During traveling, the traveling frame 3 rotates around the support garter 1, and there is a state in which the garter 1 is not present at a position below the rotating capsule 4. In such a case, the garter 1 is placed below. The passengers can fully enjoy the thrill without seeing.
