Abstract

FIELD: fun-fair machines; swings.

SUBSTANCE: proposed above-water swing is installed on floating base and it includes two posts with secured horizontal crossmember. Hangers are fastened on crossmember with seat in lower part. It contains also device for moving floating base over water, and pond depth meter. Floating base is made up of number of interconnected floats whose summary dead weight is equal to mass of swing and other units arranged on floats. Swing is furnished with ballast tanks for outside water which are installed in center of gravity of swing.

EFFECT: improved amusement.

Description

The invention relates to an attraction technique, and more particularly to a swing.

Known swing, containing mounted on racks horizontal bar with suspended rods with a seat and limiters to change the trajectory of swing rods / cm USSR copyright certificate No. 1639693, cl. A 63 G 9/02. 1988 /.

The lack of analogue should include its lack of amusement.

Also known are surface swings installed on a floating base and including racks with a horizontal beam fixed to them, having pendants with a seat in the lower part, means of moving the floating base on water and a depth gauge of a pond / see Ukrainian patent No. 15073, cl. A 63 G 9/02, 1994 /.

These surface swings are closest to those proposed and are accepted as a prototype.

The disadvantage of the prototype should also include insufficient entertainment.

The technical result of the invention is an increase in the amusement of surface swings as an attraction.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in a surface swing installed on a floating base and including racks with a horizontal crossbar fixed to them, pivotally mounted on the crossbar of a suspension with a seat, means for moving a floating base on water and a depth gauge of a reservoir, according to the invention, the floating base is made in the form of a series of fastened between each of the floats, the total deadweight of which is equal to the mass of the swing and other nodes located on the floats, while the swing is equipped with ballast tanks for outboard water, installed centered on the swing.

In addition, the means of moving the floating base on water is made in the form of a propeller having a manual drive installed with the possibility of its placement in the inoperative position above the water mirror.

In addition, the swing seat is made in the form of a boat equipped with a pivotally mounted brake plate with the possibility of turning it off when inoperative.

In addition, the depth meter of the pond at the location of the swing is made in the form of a sinker in the lower part of the measured flexible link.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

- figure 1 is a General side view of the proposed swing;

- figure 2 is the same, top view.

Above-water swings include vertical struts 1, on which the horizontal bar 2 is fixed. Through bearings / not indicated / on the bar, pendants 3 are mounted, at the lower ends of which is fixed a seat 4 with an articulated brake plate 5 and a platform 6 for jumping into the water. The seat housing is made in the form of a boat and has sides, on which there are seats for seating, and a bottom.

Racks 1 are mounted on longitudinal ladders 7, rigidly connected with floats 8, made for less resistance when moving cigar-shaped in water. Ladders 7 connect the transverse ladders 9 and 10 to each other. Brackets 11 are fixed to the ladders 7, on which ballast tanks 12 for outboard water with drain taps in the bottoms are placed.

A casing 13 is pivotally mounted on the ladder 9, on which a propeller 14 is mounted with a driven sprocket in the lower part and a manual drive / rotator / 15 with a leading sprocket in the upper part of the casing. The rotation from the drive sprocket to the follower is transmitted by the flexible link 16 / for example, a bicycle chain /. The hinge 17 is fixed between the housing and the ladder, while the housing has means for securing it to the ladder both in the vertical and horizontal plane.

The depth gauge mounted on the swing is made in the form of a measured thread 18, the upper end of which is fixed to the reel 19, and the lower end has a sinker 20.

Have fun on the proposed swing as follows.

Vacationers climb the swing ladders and perform the following operations before boarding the seat: by adding overboard water to the tanks 12, the draft of the floats is increased, or by draining the water, the draft is reduced, the plate 5 is set to the upper position, and the screw housing 13 is moved to a horizontal position, reducing it to possible resistance to the movement of the swing in the water.

Then they take up seats in the seat and swing it, holding on to the suspension 3. The force when the seat is swinging is transferred to the crossbar, while the magnitude of the vertical component changes from zero to maximum, as does the horizontal component, which also changes direction. These components will cause the swing to move in the horizontal and vertical plane.

If necessary, emergency braking of the seat plate 5 is transferred to position 21, in which it is maximally loaded into the water. In favorable weather, a sufficiently deep place is selected by means of a depth gauge and engaged in diving, using platform 6 in the seat. To move the swing, the housing 13 is mounted vertically and the propeller is rotated by means of a manual drive.

The proposed swing in comparison with the known have maximum amusement.
