Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a leisure vehicle.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in leisure vehicle devices such as rail-suspended bicycles that carry two passengers and are equipped with foot pedals, two seats have been arranged side by side on the left and right. Therefore, as the width of the vehicle increases, in order to avoid interference with the rail support columns, the cantilever beams are extended laterally from the support columns.
Since the cantilever beam and support column had to be connected to the rail, a very large bending moment was applied to the cantilever beam and the support column, which was disadvantageous in terms of strength. Further, there was a problem in that the foot pedals were attached separately to the left and right, making the foot pedal drive mechanism complicated. In addition, since getting on and off the seat is done from both the left and right sides, there is also the disadvantage that the platform takes up a lot of space, and if the seat is accessed from one side, it is difficult to get on and off the platform.

This invention eliminates all of these conventional drawbacks,
To provide a leisure vehicle device that does not take up much space on a platform or the like and is easy to get on and off by simplifying the weight and weight of support columns, etc., reducing the installation space in amusement parks, etc., and simplifying the foot drive mechanism. purpose. Therefore, the feature of the present invention is that a plurality of seats are arranged in rows facing each other in the front and rear of the vehicle traveling direction, and a common pedal device having a common crank is attached at a lower position between the seats. It is in the point where it was done.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, a rail-running suspended bicycle is illustrated as the leisure vehicle device 1, and 2, 2 are rails arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals above and below, and are erected on the ground. The rails 2, 2 are connected to each other by a supporting column 3 and connecting beams 4, 4 projecting like cantilevers from the upper end of the supporting column 3.
is held at a predetermined height from the ground.

Thus, the bicycle 5 is mounted on the rails 2, 2 in a suspended manner so that it can run. Reference numeral 6 denotes a drive wheel that rolls on the upper rail 2 and supports the weight of the bicycle 5 and the passenger.Auxiliary wheels 7 that also roll on the upper rail 2 are attached, as shown in FIG. A pair of anti-rolling guide wheels 8, 9 that roll against and roll on the left and right sides of the upper rail 2, and a pair of anti-rolling guide wheels 10 that roll against and roll on the left side of the lower rail 2. It is attached. A bevel gear 11 is fixed to one end of the horizontal support shaft of the drive wheel 6 and meshed with a bevel gear 13 fixed to the upper end of the vertical interlocking shaft 12. The body 14 is suspended so as to be able to swing back and forth around the same axis as the horizontal support shaft of the drive axle 6, and excessive rocking prevention arms 15, 15 are attached to the upper part of the body 14. The rolling guide wheels 16, 16 pivotally attached to the upper ends of the prevention arms 15, 15 are resiliently abutted from the lower surface of the lower rail 2 by the resilient urging force of the resilient member 17, and roll. The interlocking shaft 12 is made to maintain a substantially vertical shape. Specifically, the interlocking shaft 12 is inserted through a protective cylinder 18, and a pair of arms 15, 15 are pivotally supported on the protective cylinder 18. Further, the body 14 has a roof portion 19 such as a tent on the upper side.

A bottom plate 20 is attached to the lower end of the fuselage 14, and two seats 21, 21 are provided slightly above the bottom plate 20. The seats 21, 21 are arranged in rows facing each other in the front and rear directions, and passengers sit facing each other.
A common pedal device 23 having a common crank 22 is attached at a lower position between the two.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a bevel gear 24 is fixed at the center, and two pedals 26, 26 are attached to a pair of left and right crank pin parts 25, 25, respectively.
The crank part 27 is rotatably supported by an appropriate number of bearings 28, and as mentioned above, passengers seated opposite each other can step on the pedals of the same crank pin parts 25, 25 with their feet. The book crank 22 is rotationally driven, while the central bevel gear 24 is driven by the interlocking shaft 1.
The rotation of the crank 22 is transmitted to the interlocking shaft 12. The rotation of the interlocking shaft 12 is transmitted to the drive wheels 6 through meshing with the bevel gears 13 and 11, so that the drive wheels 6 travel along the rails 2.

The bearings 28 are provided on support members 30, 31, 30 that protrude from the bottom 20 of the fuselage 14, and the central support member 31 covers the bevel gears 24, 29, and together with the aforementioned protective cylinder 18, , protect the passenger's body from moving parts. Also, 32 is the seat 21, 2
It is a C-shaped horizontal rod that connects the backs 21a, 21a of the seats 21, 21a, and prevents passengers from falling from the seats 21, 21, and has a cutout on only one left and right side, which serves as an entrance for boarding and alighting. Further, 52 is a brake lever, which is connected to the brake via a wire cable or the like so as to freely brake the wheels 6 and the like.

In addition, in the specific example, the wheels 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. and the bevel gears 11, 13 are covered by a covering 53 that is attached close to the rails 2, 2, and extend from the covering 53 in the front and back direction. , shock absorbing bumpers 33, 33 protruding in parallel along the upper rail 2,
It is also preferable to add it (Fig. 1).

Next, in other embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, a flying vehicle device is shown as the leisure vehicle device 1, and 34 is a rotary table which is rotatable around the axis A and supported on the floor or the ground. As shown in FIG. 6, the giant rotary table 34 is provided with six radial swinging arms 35 on a plane, and the arms 35 are connected to a support shaft 36.
It is pivotally supported by a protrusion of a rotary table 34, and is swung up and down by a hydraulic cylinder 37 as shown by solid lines and imaginary lines in FIG. Reference numeral 38 is a helicopter-type flying vehicle, which has a rotor 39 above, and appears planarly as if an arm 35 projects perpendicularly from the side of the flying vehicle 38, as shown in FIG. Therefore,
The rotation of the rotating table 34 causes the flying vehicle 38 to advance in the circumferential direction. Further, although detailed illustration is omitted, an attitude holding mechanism is provided so that the flight vehicle 38 always maintains a normal vertical attitude no matter what angle the arm 35 swings. (For example, a parallel link mechanism or the like is used.) A transparent windshield cover 40 is attached to an upright disc-shaped frame 41 and has a sled section 42. In addition, there are two
The seats 21, 21 are arranged in rows facing each other, and the frame body 41
The vehicle is configured so that two passengers can board the vehicle facing each other, and the entrance is opened on the side without the swinging arm 35 so that passengers can board and exit the vehicle from one side.

Therefore, a common pedal device 23 having a common crank 22 is provided at a lower position between the seats 21, 21 as in the previous embodiment, and the common pedal device 23 is arranged as shown in FIGS. 8 and 7. , the cylinder 37
This is to actually lift the arm 35 and the flying vehicle 38 into the air by inputting an input. That is, when the co-pedal device 23 is driven by the passenger's manual power, the hydraulic pump 43 rotates, sends the generated hydraulic pressure to the cylinder 37, extends it, swings the arm 35 upward, and moves the flight vehicle 38. bring it to the surface. 44 is a tank which sucks the liquid in the tank 44 into the pump 43 via a suction pipe 45, and a high pressure pipe 4 with two slow return valves 46 and 47 interposed therein.
Pump 43 and cylinder 37 are connected by high pressure pipe 48 so that hydraulic pressure is sent to cylinder 37 through pipe 8 . Further, a reflux pipe 49 branched from between the two slow return valves 46 and 47 is connected to a solenoid valve 50 and a slow return valve 51 which are interposed in parallel.
It is communicated with the tank 44 through the tank 44. The electric valve 50 is a two-position on-off valve, and in the state shown in FIG. 8, the liquid from the pump 43 is returned to the tank 44 and is not sent to the cylinder 37. If you operate it in reverse,
Hydraulic pressure may be sent to cylinder 37 to cause cylinder 37 to extend.

On the other hand, the rotor 39 is rotationally driven if it is interlocked and connected to the pedal device 23 by a separate power transmission mechanism (not shown), such as a chain and a chain wheel. However, it is a matter of course that the aerodynamic lift force that makes the vehicle 38 actually levitate as a helicopter cannot be obtained. It can be said to be a pseudo drive mechanism.

By the way, since some liquid escapes from the throttle valve portion of the valve 51 into the tank 44, unless the pedal device 23 is driven beyond a predetermined rotation, the cylinder 37 will gradually contract and the vehicle 38 will descend. Therefore, if the pedal device 23 is pressed at high speed, the vehicle 38 will levitate faster, and it is as if the rotor 39 is levitating the vehicle 38, and if the rotor 39 rotates quickly, the vehicle 38 will levitate, and if the rotor 39 rotates slowly, the vehicle 38 will levitate. This gives passengers the feeling of descending. Note that it is also possible to omit the pseudo drive mechanism and configure the rotor 39 to rotate naturally as the rotary table 34 rotates.

The present invention is of course not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be freely modified in design, and can also be applied to other leisure vehicles such as amusement parks that have human-powered pedal devices, and can also be used as a track-running bicycle. The bicycle can be ridden with the crotch extending from the top of the rails, or the rails 2 can be made into a single vertical plate wall, or it can be used as a 4-seater, 6-seater, etc.
A plurality of pairs of two seats 21, 21 may be provided in one vehicle device.

It is also preferable to use a chain, chain wheel, gear mesh, etc. to transmit the driving force of the co-pedal device 23 to other parts. Furthermore, a rocking type pedal may be used as the foot device attached to the lower position between the seats 21, 21.

The leisure vehicle device according to the present invention has two seats 21, 21 arranged in a row facing each other in the front and rear directions in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and a shared pedal having a common crank 22 at a lower position between the seats 21, 21. Since it is configured with the device 23 attached, lovers or parents and children can look at each other while stepping on the pedals and have fun while resolving lack of exercise or training the body, and the left and right width of the vehicle can be reduced. Since the bicycle can be suspended closest to the rail running suspension bicycle and the rail support 3, the bending moment acting on the support 3 and the connecting beam 4 is minimized, which is very advantageous in terms of strength. . Further, even when it is attached to the tip of the swinging arm 35 as in a flying vehicle 38, it is easy to attach it orthogonally.

Furthermore, since the seats 21, 21 are arranged in rows facing each other, the shared pedal device 23 of the common crank 22 can be easily configured, and the drive mechanism using the pedals can be made to have the simplest structure with fewer failures. Since the drive mechanism is simple, the floor surface of the vehicle is smooth and the player can move easily, which is preferable from the viewpoint of safety.
Further, the entrance for passengers to get on and off can be provided only on one side, and it is easy to get on and off the vehicle. As described above, the present invention has a simple structure and has significant practical effects.
