【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are a side view and a plan view showing the overall construction of a gliding vehicle apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the device is generally composed of an endless fixed wire 1 stretched in a slope shape between a take-off position S at a high place and a landing position E at a low place, and the fixed wire. 1 is composed of a glide play equipment which is suspended on 1 and, for example, a suspension mechanism 3 that suspends a paraglider 2 almost freely, and a lift mechanism 4 that lifts the paglider 2 that has arrived at a landing position E together with the suspension mechanism 3 to a take-off position S. ..

The take-off position S is set on a hilly area or a take-off station 6 fixed to the top of the main tower 5 as in this example, and the landing position E is a landing station. It is set above 7. Reference numerals 8 and 9 denote mooring stands that are erected at the take-off position S and the landing position E respectively and moor the fixed wire 1.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the suspension mechanism 3 is supported by shafts 11 and 12 of the bearing plate 10 to clamp the fixed wire 1 from above and below, and a sheave wheel 13 capable of sliding under its own weight. The sheave wheels 13 and 14 are rotatable and displaceable in the left-right direction (the direction of arrow a in the figure). Suspending members 15 and 15 that can be rotationally displaced in the front-rear direction (direction of arrow b) are fitted to the shaft 12, and the suspension frame 15 has a suspension frame member 17 via a rotary joint 16. Is attached. The suspension frame member 17 is set to be rotatable in the direction around the connecting shaft (vertical shaft) 18 of the rotary joint 16 (direction of arrow c in the figure). The paraglider 2 is suspended from the lower end of the suspension frame member 17 via four ropes 19 (see FIG. 4).

The lift mechanism 4 includes drive sheave wheels 20 and 21 arranged in parallel on the mooring stands 8 and 9, and an endless movable wire which is circulated and driven between the sheave wheels 20 and 21. 22 and a hook member 24 that is attached to the movable wire 22 and hooks and conveys a locking plate 23 that projects from the shaft support plate 10 of the suspension mechanism 3. Reference numeral 25 is a support pole that pivotally supports the drive sheave wheels 20 and 21.

At the landing position E, as shown in FIG. 5, a brake device 26 for the hangrider 2 is provided. This brake device 26 includes, for example, upper and lower pressure contact rollers 27 and 28 for sandwiching the locking plate 23, and a shaft support plate 31 holding respective support shafts 29 and 30 of both pressure contact rollers 27 and 28 via an arm 32. And a stand 33 for supporting the same. Reference numeral 34 is a wire guide tower that supports the intermediate portion of the fixed wire 1.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. Now, it is assumed that the user of the paraglider 2 has reached a takeoff position S at a high place from a predetermined boarding / alighting place. This boarding / alighting place may be at the landing position E of the above-mentioned low place, or may be set on the main tower 5 side so that it can be moved up and down by an elevator or the like.

When the user starts by landing from the take-off position with the body of the paraglider 2 tied with a harness, the suspension mechanism 3 slides along the fixed wire 1 via the sheave wheels 13 and 14. To do. At this time, the paraglider 2 rides on the airflow and glides. Therefore, anyone can experience the gliding by Paraglider 2 realistically. Furthermore, since the paraglider 2 is substantially free to be displaced in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, and around the vertical axis via the suspension mechanism 3, the user can operate the cord with respect to changes in gliding speed and air flow. Paraglider 2 can be controlled arbitrarily. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy it as if it were a sport and use it as a safe practice facility to learn advanced practical skills.

When the paraglider 2 glides and approaches the landing position, the locking plate 23 of the suspension mechanism 3 is pressed between the upper and lower pressure contact rollers 27 and 28 of the brake device 26 as shown in FIG. Power is given. Therefore, the paraglider 2 will land in a decelerated state. Of course, the braking device 26 can be omitted by reducing the gradient of the fixed wire 1 near the landing position E.

When the paraglider 2 lands, the paraglider 2 is pivoted around the mooring stand 9 at the landing position E by 180 ° together with the lifting mechanism 3 by a person such as a staff member to the pull-up standby position (the left side position in FIG. 5). To move.

On the other hand, since the hook member 24 attached to the movable wire 22 also moves along the fixed wire 1 due to the circulating movement of the movable wire 22, when the paraglider 2 is in the pull-up standby position. The locking plate 23 is hooked on the hook member 24 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the paraglider 2 is pulled up to the takeoff position S along the fixed wire 1 by the hook member 24 together with the suspension mechanism 3. Here, as well as the operation at the landing position, the hang rider 2 together with the suspending mechanism 3 is turned 180 ° around the mooring stand 8 to enter the take-off standby state.

By the way, when the wire guide tower 34 is provided in the middle portion of the fixed wire 1, the fixed wire 1 is not loosened, in other words, the distance between the take-off position S and the landing position E is lengthened and the glide is performed. The distance can be increased.

In the above embodiment, the suspension mechanism 3 has been described with the paraglider 2 suspended, but other gliding play equipment may be suspended. Of course, the configurations of the suspension mechanism 3 and the lift mechanism 4 are examples, and other deformation means can be arbitrarily used.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the glide play equipment is suspended almost freely through the suspension mechanism that can slide on the fixed wire stretched between the take-off position at high altitude and the landing position at low altitude, and the landing is performed. Since the glide play equipment that has reached the position is pulled up to the take-off position by the lift mechanism, the user can safely enjoy gliding with the glide play equipment and easily learn the glide operation technique.
