FIG. 1 is an overall plan view showing a slalom device 1. This slalom device 1 is provided with a slope 3 in the center on which a projectile body 2 is arranged. The sliding body discharge ports 4 are arranged in a row, and the sliding bodies are guided to the sliding body discharge ports 4 by sliding body running rails 5 that communicate with the sliding body discharge ports 4 in the lateral direction.

A lobby 6 is provided to protrude above the outer peripheral edge of this slope 3, so that the condition of the slope 3 and the sliding condition of the sliding body sliding on its surface can be seen from above.

The angle of inclination of the slope 3 may be varied by supporting the upper end or the lower end with a shaft and supporting the other end with a hydraulic jack or the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, on the right side of the outer peripheral edge of the slope 3, the upper side is a boarding platform 7, and the lower side is a disembarking platform 8.

Further, an opening is provided at the center of the lower end of the slope 3 to collect the sliding bodies that have slid down the slope 3, and this is used as a sliding body recovery port. Therefore, the sliding body collection port 9 is opened from both ends of the lower end of the slope 3 so that the sliding body collects at the sliding body collection port 9.
A guide wall 10 is provided which is gentle toward the direction.

A transport track 11 is provided to carry the sliding body from the sliding body collection port 9 along the outer wall of the building toward the upper end of the slope 3.
A sliding body lift 12 is provided at the upper end of the conveyance track 11 for guiding the sliding body to the sliding body discharge port 4 at the upper end of the slope 3.

With the above configuration, the sliding body discharged from the sliding body discharge port onto the slope 3 collides with the bow single-engine body 2, or when it reaches the lower end of the slope 3 by weaving between them, the sliding body is moved by the guide wall 10 to the sliding body discharge port. 4, and from there, it is carried on a transport track 11 to the sliding body lift 12 located on both sides of the upper end of the slope 3, where it is further transferred to the sliding body traveling rail 5 by the sliding body lift 12. carried. Sliding body running rail 5
From there, it is transported to an arbitrary sliding body discharge port 4 and from there it is discharged again onto the slope 3. Further, on the way to the sliding body lift 12 via the transport track 11, the user gets off the sliding body at the disembarking platform 8, or gets on the sliding body at the boarding platform 7.

Details of the sliding body 13 are shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 below. The sliding bodies 13 shown in the figures are all spherical bodies, and the framework of the spherical bodies is made of steel, alloy, resin, etc., and the table device 4 is made of a transparent material.

Of course, the table device 4 is provided with an entrance and exit for people to enter and exit, and a seat 15 with a safety belt for securing the body is arranged inside, and a control field that also serves as a grip for grasping is placed in front of the seat 15. 16 is the provision. It is preferable to install a display panel 17 equipped with a gyro compass or the like on the side of the control area 16 for the purpose of knowing the inclination angle of the sliding body 13.

A control device 18 is disposed below the seat 15, that is, at the bottom of the sliding body 13. Various types of control device 18 are conceivable, but for example, a weight that can be eccentrically adjusted to the inclination angle of the sliding body 13 is provided, or a weight is arranged in a cross shape in plan view and is in contact with the slope 3, and the braking force is applied to the slope 3. A possible solution would be to install a device that can freely extend or retract the brake applied by friction with the outside.

The sliding body 13 configured as described above controls the slope 3 by the control device 1.
Although sliding is caused by human-induced changes in the position of the center of gravity inside the sliding body 13, it is also possible to reduce the frictional resistance when the sliding body 13 slides by applying Teflon resin to the surface of the slope 3. Alternatively, complex changes may be imparted to the sliding body 13 by pouring water onto the slope, or by attaching rollers or bearings to the sliding part in conjunction with the control device 18 of the sliding body 13. One method is to install magnetic bodies of the same polarity on the slope 3 and the bottom of the sliding body 13 to provide repulsive levitation blades.

Furthermore, a coil spring may be inserted into the proximal end of the projectile body 2 to support the projectile body 2, or the material of the projectile body 2 itself may be made of a resilient material, and the sliding body 13 may be made of a resilient material. A contrivance may be devised to prevent the ball from bouncing when it collides with or comes into contact with the projectile body 2. Alternatively, the projectile body 2 may be instantaneously moved and repelled in the direction in which the sliding body 13 hits so as to actively repel it.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 4, the sliding body 13 moves towards the sliding body collection port 9 while changing its direction in a complicated manner while using the bottom part as the sliding surface and applying a rocking motion to the slope 3 according to the curvature of the sphere itself. leading to.

The sliding body 13a shown in FIG. 5 has the sliding body 13 placed on a disc-shaped sliding part 19, and this sliding part 19 has a depression in the center into which the bottom of the sliding body 13 fits. The sliding body 13 is a main body part 20, and this main body part 20 is the sliding part 1.
It is placed in the center of 9 and can rotate freely. Main body part 20
slides on the slope 3 while being rotatable on the sliding portion 197).

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the sliding body 13b is a spherical body with a flat sliding surface at the bottom, and the spherical main body exterior 21 is housed therein, and the double spheres are rotatably pivoted relative to each other. 22, and are configured to rotate relative to each other using Id 122 as a rotation axis.

In addition, the main body 20 is attached to the sphere inside the main body exterior 21 with a support 22.
The shaft 22 is supported by another shaft 23 in a direction perpendicular to the shaft 22.
The main body 20 is configured to perform gyroscopic motion within the main body exterior 21 by the shaft 23 and the shaft 23.

That is, the sliding body 13b shown in FIG. 6 slides on the slope 3 while performing gyroscopic motion. The degree of difficulty of the sliding situation may be changed by changing the angle of inclination of the slope 3 or by changing the installation position of the projectile 2.

(Effects) As described above in detail, the slalom device of the present invention uses a sliding body that slides from the upper end of the slope to the lower end on which the projectile is arranged, and this sliding body is moved along the slope by the conveyance track. Since it is easily moved toward the upper end, you can easily enjoy free slalom sliding by riding on the gliding body.Furthermore, since a projectile body is placed on the slope, the gliding body can be easily It can glide by extending the time it stays on the slope while changing in various directions due to the reaction when it contacts or collides with the body.

In addition, since the sliding body is a hollow sphere, polyhedron, ellipsoid, etc. made of a transparent material, the sliding direction tends to change when it collides with a projectile while sliding on a slope or depending on the collision angle. Furthermore, the bottom of the sliding body is equipped with a control device that changes the sliding condition, and the front of the seat is equipped with a grip that doubles as a control stick for operating the control device. It is possible to easily change the sliding angle of the sliding body by changing the posture while grasping it.

The sensations and experiences that can be obtained on a glider are similar to the sensation of being active in outer space, and it is possible to easily obtain a simulated experience of space activities on the ground.
