2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional water ski practice pool, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-38540. This is because a ski that is towed by a motor boat or the like slides on top of stationary or gently flowing water, in order to disguise the condition of an actual water ski. A device that can be made up of a tank and a pumping device, which draws fluid from a part of the tank and distributes it into holes, upwards with respect to the fluid surface in the tank, and It is a configuration characterized in that it creates a flow of fluid horizontally toward the tank portion along the fluid surface, in use, the skier grips the other end of the rope, one end of which is fixed to a part of the tank, By levitating the ski above the fluid surface, the skier maintains a rest position on the flowing fluid surface, forming a state of water skiing.

[0003]

However, as described above, in the device in which the flow of the fluid is generated in the tank and the skier is simply towed by the rope whose one end is fixed, the towed position is constant, so that the water ski It is not possible to practice or enjoy the start-up of the start of the skiing, and at the rest position on the fluid surface where there is a flow, the skiing can change slightly to the left or right, but it is in the direction parallel to the flow of the ski. Practicing so-called slalom where the ski crosses the water stream due to the difference in the pulling direction and the direction of the flow, which is not only a simple gliding on the water surface but can be experienced and enjoyed on an actual water ski. However, there was a problem to be solved in that I could not enjoy it.

According to the present invention, the towing end of the skier towing lobe is connected to an automatic moving body, and a change between movement and stopping is imparted to the moving body so as to practice a start at the beginning of a run, a normal water slide and a slalom. The purpose is to provide a water skiing practice and recreation pool that can be enjoyed.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a pool main body and a pump device, sucking water from a part of the pool main body or another water source,
In a pool in which this is horizontally jetted along the water surface to form a flow of water on the inner surface of the pool, the jetting of water can be changed at a constant jetting speed within a predetermined horizontal width or arbitrarily. In addition to the above, the track was installed at a predetermined height position along the pool contour coast including the upper part of the water injection position, and the track was equipped with a skier towing rope whose free end became the grip part. An automatic running body is provided, and a reciprocating movement at a controlled speed and a stop at an arbitrary position are given to the automatic running body, thereby forming a water skiing practice / entertainment pool. .

[0006]

In the water skiing practice and recreation pool of the present invention configured as described above, the automatic traveling body having the skier towing rope stopped at any one end of the track is moved to the upper portion of the water injection position. By doing so, it is possible to form the rising movement at the beginning of the skiing of the water ski,
In addition, by stopping the automatic traveling body near the upper part of the water injection position, it is possible to form a slightly different left and right gliding on the flowing fluid surface and a normal gliding state in a stationary state. The so-called slalom posture in which the ski crosses the water flow alternately to the left and right can be formed by alternately moving the automatic traveling body to the left and right positions to make the pulling direction and the flow direction different.

The pool main body 1 and the pump device 2 are arranged so that water is sucked from a part of the pool main body 1 and is supplied to a water injection port 5 which horizontally injects the water at a constant width along the water surface. It is preferable to use a pump device 2 capable of controlling the water injection speed in a stepwise or stepless manner as the pump device 2. In this case,
It is controlled by a preset program. Further, the water injection port 5 is formed by a slit type rectangular nozzle opened horizontally or a parallel nozzle in which a large number of injection holes are arranged in a row in the horizontal direction.

The track 3 is composed of a monorail having an I-shaped cross section, and is provided on columns 6 having a height of about 1 to 1.5 m, which are erected at predetermined intervals along the contour coast of the pool body 1 including the upper part of the water injection position. It is erected and fixed so as to draw a curved line. This orbit 3
May be formed by two rails or one wire rope having a circular cross section. The point is that it can be used as a guide for moving the automatic traveling body 4 described later.

The automatic traveling body 4 is supported on the upper surface of the raceway 3 and by the rotators 7 rolling on both sides, and the driving force of the forward / reverse rotation motor 8 is transmitted to the rotator 7 which is in pressure contact with the outer side of the raceway 3. In addition, one end of a player towing rope 9 is fixed to the pool body 1 side of the automatic traveling body 4, and wiring for controlling the forward / reverse rotation motor 8 is provided inside (not shown). Grip) is made and the free end is the grip part 1
A control button 11 is provided at 0. As the forward / reverse rotation motor 8, it is preferable to use a motor whose rotation speed can be freely set. The control of the forward / reverse rotation motor 8 may be performed by a preset program instead of being performed by the skier.

The water skiing practice / amusement pool constructed as described above can be meaningfully practiced and enjoyed by being used as follows. First, the autonomous vehicle 4
Is set at one end position on either side of the track 3, for example, the left end position, and the skier towing rope 9 is attached to the pool body 1
Pour it in. The skier wears a water ski, grasps the grip portion 10 of the skier towing rope 9 that has been drawn, creates a gliding posture, operates the control button 11 for rightward movement, and jets the automatic traveling body 4 with water. By moving it above the position, you can practice and enjoy the start-up of the ski start, the slightly changed left and right slides on the flowing fluid surface, and the normal slides at rest. become. However, in this state as it is, it is a simple straight water gliding state, but if the automatic traveling body 4 is grasped and the control button 11 of the portion 10 is operated to move the automatic traveling body 4 to the left and right alternately, the tow is pulled. You can practice and enjoy the so-called slalom, where the direction changes with respect to the flow direction and the ski crosses the water stream alternately left and right.
