Description

WHEEL AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING BACKGROUND
This invention relates to an amusement device which includes a wheel and methods of assembling a Ferris Wheel wheel of a Ferris Wheel.
An amusement device which includes a wheel, for example as part of a Ferris Wheel, is generally used at places such as amusement parks and fairs. When used at fairs, the wheel often must be transportable, allowing for assembly and operation at different locations as the fair travels from one location to the next. This involves having to assemble and disassembled the wheel many times in many different locations. As transportable wheels can be up to about 80 meters in height (but have a tendency to just keep increasing in size), the assembling and disassembling often requires a crane or similar large device for the process.
In this application, the “Ferris Wheel” is to say the entire amusement device that at least includes a wheel and a frame that supports the wheel through a central wheel axis. The term “wheel” is to say a wheel, like for example a wheel of a Ferris Wheel.
SUMMARY A method of assembling a wheel from a plurality of semi-circular segments which secure together to form the wheel comprises a) assembling a frame and a central wheel axis in an upright position; and b) growing a first side wheel section in a first direction around the central wheel axis and a second side wheel section in a second direction around the central wheel axis by connecting semi-circular segments to the frame and alternately to the first side wheel section and the second side wheel section, and alternately moving the first side wheel section in the first direction and the second side wheel section in the second direction around the central wheel axis as the semi-circular segments are connected until the second side wheel section meets the first side wheel section to form a full circular wheel.
Such a method can allow for the assembly of a wheel without the need for other large equipment, such as a crane. By using semi-circular segments to build up first side and second side wheel sections alternately and evenly, and allowing for their opposite rotations in the first and second directions around the central wheel axis, the wheel can be build up in a stable, efficient and cost effective manner. This can be especially useful when the wheel must be assembled/disassembled and/or moved frequently, for example, when used as part of a traveling fair. The method can also be used in the reverse for disassembling the wheel in a stable, efficient and safe manner.
According to an embodiment, step b) comprises i) connecting a first semi-circular segment to the frame such that it can move around the central wheel axis and moving the first semi-circular segment around the central wheel axis in a first direction; ii) connecting a second semi-circular segment to the frame such that it can move around the central wheel axis and moving the second semi-circular segment around the central wheel axis in a second direction opposite to the first direction; iii) connecting a further semi-circular segment to the first semi-circular segment and to the frame to form a first side wheel section and moving the first side wheel section in the first direction; iv) connecting a further semi-circular segment to the second semi-circular segment and to the frame to form a second side wheel section and moving the second side wheel section in the second direction; v) connecting a further semi-circular segment to the first side wheel section and to the frame and moving the first side wheel section in the first direction; vi) connecting a further semi-circular segment to the second side wheel section and to the frame and moving the second side wheel section in the second direction; and vii) repeating steps v)-vi) until the first side wheel section and the second side wheel section meet to form a full circular wheel from the semi-circular wheel segments.
According to an embodiment, the method further comprises the step of tensioning the wheel. This can be done, for example, with a wedge or other device to ensure that all semi-circular segments are tightly fit together and the full wheel is securely assembled. According to an embodiment, the first side wheel section and the second side wheel section meet at a top to form the full circular wheel. This ensures a balanced build-up of the entire wheel, and allows for building a tall wheel without the need for a crane, which may have been needed in past devices to put in place very top pieces.
According to an embodiment, the moving in the first direction or the second direction is facilitated by one or more winches. Optionally, the one or more winches is positioned at ground level. The one or more winches can be used to move the semicircular segments and the first and second wheel sections in the first direction and the second direction to position them appropriately to balance out the wheel being assembled and to position for further semi-circular segments to be attached.
According to an embodiment, the frame further comprises one or more cable mounting members independently rotatable on the central wheel axis. Optionally, the semi-circular segments are connected to the one or more cable mounting members.
The one or more cable mounting members can allow for the connection of the semicircular segments and first side and second side wheel section, and facilitate rotation in the proper direction around the central wheel axis.
According to an embodiment, the connecting of a semi-circular segment to the frame comprises suspending the semi-circular segment from the frame. Optionally, suspending can be with cables, ropes or other devices. By forming in such a way that the semi-circular segments can be suspended, the wheel and connecting parts can be more compact when disassembled and easier to store and/or transport.
According to an embodiment, the frame is an A-frame. An A-frame can provide a stable support for the central wheel axis.
According to an embodiment, the semi-circular segments are connected to each other with one or more pins. This can allow for easy and quick connections (or disconnection), and provide for the stable and secure connection needed.
According to an embodiment, the semi-circular segments are connected at a central installation position. By connecting the semi-circular segments at a central installation position the first and second side segments can be build up evenly in a balanced and stable manner. Optionally, the central installation position is near the ground. By having the central installation position near the ground, the semi-circular segments only have to be moved/raised minimally before connecting to either the first or second side wheel sections to start or continue building up the wheel. Thus, the use of a crane or other piece of large equipment is no longer necessary to properly position all the segments. Further optionally, the central installation position is at least partially within the frame, or in another option, entirely within the frame. By having the central installation position be at least partially within the frame, the frame can provide stability for the assembly and/or disassembly process when connecting a segment at the central installation position.
According to an embodiment, the frame comprises two cable mounting members on each end of the central wheel axis, one cable mounting member on each end rotatable in the first direction and one cable mounting member on each end rotatable in the second direction. Optionally, each semi-circular segment is connected by cables to two of the cable mounting members. By having cable mounting members on each end rotatable in the first direction and cable mounting members on each end rotatable in the second direction, semi-circular segments and first and second side wheel sections are able to connect to a specific set of cable mounting members to move in the first direction or the second direction without cables from different segments or sections becoming entangled.
According to an embodiment, the wheel comprises between 11 and 21, in particular 15, semi-circular segments. In other embodiments, the wheel could be made of more or fewer semi-circular segments.
According to a further aspect of the invention, a wheel is assembled by the method. Such a wheel is a stable device that is simple to assemble and disassemble in a safe and secure way without the need for additional large equipment, such as a crane. Thus, this wheel is particularly useful when it needs to be assembled or disassembled frequently, for example, as a seasonal wheel for an amusement device and/or a wheel which is part of a travelling fair or circus. The invention in particular relates to a Ferris Wheel.
According to an embodiment, the wheel comprises two cable mounting members on each end of the central wheel axis, one on each end rotatable in the first direction and one on each end rotatable in the second direction. Optionally, each semicircular segment forming the wheel is connected to two of the cable mounting members, one on each end of the central wheel axis. This enables the semi-circular segments to rotate around the central wheel axis in a specific direction for assembly and disassembly of the wheel without cables or other connection devices becoming entangled.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Figs, la-le show front views of a Ferris wheel with a wheel 10 being assembled. The Ferris Wheel includes a wheel 10, a frame 12 and plurality of semi-circular segments 14 connected by cables 16 to frame 12. The reference number 10 refers both to a partly assembled wheel 10 and a complete, assembled wheel 10. Also shown are winches 17a, 17b; and arrows 19a, 19b indicating direction of movement.
Frame 12 includes base 18, and central wheel axis 20 with cable mounting members 22 (see Fig. 2a) is supported by frame 12. Central wheel axis 20 includes two cable mounting members 22 on each side, one which can facilitate rotation in one direction around the central wheel axis 20 and one that can facilitate rotation in the other direction around the central wheel axis 20. In this case, frame 12 is an A-frame with two structural members on each side connecting base 18 to central wheel axis 20. However, in other embodiments, frame 12 can take other forms to support the central wheel axis 20.
Fig. la shows a front view of a first stage of assembling wheel 10. Frame 12 has already been assembled, and the wheel portion is starting to be assembled. A first semi-circular segment 14a is suspended from frame 12 at the central wheel axis 20 through cables 16 such that it can move around central wheel axis 20 in a first direction. The first semi-circular segment 14a is connected to the frame at a central installation position, close to the ground and partially within frame 12.
To facilitate movement, first semi-circular segment 14a is connected to a particular set of cable mounting members 22 on central wheel axis 20 (one cable mounting member 22 on each side) designated to facilitate rotation in a particular direction. Winch 17a is connected to first semi-circular segment 14a through a cable or in another manner such that winch 17a can move first semi-circular segment 14a in a first direction around central wheel axis, shown by arrow 19 in Fig. la.
Fig. lb shows a front view of a second stage of assembling wheel 10. First semicircular segment 14 has been moved around central wheel axis 20 in a first direction by winch 17a. Now a second semi-circular segment 14b is connected to central wheel axis 20 through cables 16. Second semi-circular segment 14b is connected to central wheel axis 20 at cable mounting members 22 on each side that are designated to facilitate movement around central wheel axis in a second direction, as shown by arrow 19b in Fig. lb. Winch 17b connects to second semi-circular segment 14b to move second semi-circular segment 14b in the second direction according to arrow 19b.
Fig. lc shows a front view where second semi-circular segment 14b has been moved away from frame 12 in second direction, and a further semi-circular segment 14c is connected to frame 12 at central wheel axis 20 and to first semi-circular segment 14a. Semi-circular segments 14a and 14c can be connected together with pins, or any other fastening means to secure together into a first side wheel section 24. Semi-circular segment 14c is connected to cable mounting members 22 on central wheel axis 20 in the same manner as semi-circular segment 14a. Winch 17a then moves first side wheel section 24 in the first direction, as shown by arrow 19a.
Fig. Id shows a front view of a further stage of assembling wheel 10, with first side wheel section 24 moved away from frame 12 in first direction by winch 17a. A further semi-circular segment 14d is connected to second semi-circular segment 14b and to cable mounting members 22 of central wheel axis 20. Semi-circular segments 14b and 14d secure to each other to form second side wheel section 26. Second side wheel section 26 is moved in second direction by winch 17b, as shown by arrow 19b.
Fig. le shows a front view of a next stage of assembling wheel 10. A further semicircular segment 14e is connected to first side wheel section 24 and to central wheel axis 20 of frame 12 in the same manner as described above. Winch 17a then moves first side wheel section 24 in the first direction around central wheel axis 20. Further semi-circular wheel segments are then added alternately to first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26 to build up wheel 10, with winches 17a, 17b moving wheel sections 24, 26 for the connection and build up. When a sufficient number of semi-circular segments 14 have been added, first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26 reach a point where they connect to each other to form the entire wheel 10, as shown in Figs. 2a-2c (without cables 16 for viewing purposes only). This is generally at or near a top point of the wheel. At this point, first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26 are connected together, and can be tensioned if needed. The connection can be the same connections used when connecting semicircular segments 14 together, for example, pins or other securing connection members. Tensioning can be done in a number of ways, for example, inserting a wedge into the full wheel for tensioning.
When disassembling wheel 10, the same steps can be taken, only in a different order, for example, from the last step to the first step. Such a disassembly could start with the wheel being untensioned, and then semi-circular segments 14 being removed one at a time alternately from first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26 using winches 17a, 17b until each side wheel section 24, 26 is fully disassembled into semicircular segments 14.
Wheel 10, as shown fully formed in Figs. 2a-2c (without cables 16 for viewing purposes only), can be easily assembled and disassembled in the manner described above, without the need for a crane or other large piece of equipment. By using semicircular segments 14 suspended from a central wheel axis 20 to form a first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26, the wheel can be built up in an efficient and stable way. The use of a central installation position, which can be near the ground and/or at least partially within frame 12, allows for a stable and balanced build-up of sections. The use of first side and second side wheel sections 24, 26; moveable by winches 17a, 17b also provides a balanced build-up of wheel 10 around central wheel axis 20 as more and more semi-circular segments 14 are connected. Two cable mounting members 22 on each side of central wheel axis 20 allow for rotational movement in the first and second direction around central wheel axis 20; allowing for the build-up and movement of both first side wheel section 24 and second side wheel section 26 in opposite directions without the respective cables 16 connecting semicircular segments 14 becoming entangled. By using this configuration and method, wheel 10 can be built up in a segmented, stable manner without the need for a crane or other piece of large equipment. This allows for more efficient and easy assembly and/or disassembly of wheel 10, which can be particularly useful when used in travelling fairs. Additionally, this method of building up wheel 10 can decrease the costs and time of assembly and/or disassembly by no longer needing extra (possibly large) equipment beyond the parts of wheel 10 and two winches 17a, 17b. The buildup in this manner also uses tension connections, allowing for suspending segments 14 from cables, which are easy to store when wheel is disassembled.
Once constructed, gondolas or other passenger devices can be connected to wheel 10 (though not shown in Figs. la-2c) such that wheel 10 can be used as part of an amusement device. When connecting gondolas or other passenger devices, it is generally done in a balanced manner, for example, connecting gondolas on one side of wheel, turning to connect and balance out gondolas on the other side of the wheel, and so on, until all gondolas or passenger devices are connected. Winches 17a, 17b or other equipment could be used for this.
While semi-circular segments 14 are shown in a specific formation, size, type, etc.; this is just for example purposes, and segments 14 could be any configuration, size, type, etc. to connect together to eventually form wheel 10. While 15 semi-circular segments 14 are shown, wheel 10 could be formed from a different number of semicircular segments.
Similarly, the shape, size and configuration of frame 12 is just an example, and frame 12 could be constructed in another way to support central wheel axis 20 for semicircular segments 14 to connect to and rotate around.
While the invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
