Abstract

FIELD: entertaining industry.

SUBSTANCE: switchback has guiding path and vehicle consisting of at least one car with passenger seats fixed for rotation relative to shaft extending perpendicular to vehicle frame or arranged at an angle thereto. Passenger seats are located on vehicle for rotation owing to cooperation of construction carrying passenger seats with stops fixed on guiding path and/or its supports and/or its base.

EFFECT: increased entertaining effect due to unpredictable character of motion of passenger seats and wider range of entertaining effects.

Description

The invention relates to the entertainment industry.

Known is a catalan mountain containing a guiding path and an articulated vehicle with turning passenger seats (WO 99/44705 from 09/10/1999).

The disadvantage of the well-known Katalova mountains is its complexity and predictability of the nature of the movement (rotation) of passenger seats.

The technical result, to which the invention is directed, is to simplify the design of the catalytic mountain and to ensure the unpredictable nature of movement of passenger seats.

This result is achieved by the fact that in the rolling stock containing a guiding path and a vehicle, consisting of at least one truck with passenger seats fixed with the possibility of rotation about an axis perpendicular to the vehicle frame or at an angle to it, passenger seats mounted on the vehicle with the possibility of rotation due to the interaction of the structure carrying the passenger seats with at least one stop fixed on the guide track and / or its pore and / or base.

The said stops and / or the structural element interacting with them, carrying passenger seats, can be made elastic, while the element can have an annular shape or consist of separate protruding parts distributed around the circumference of the structure.

In turn, the ring can have the same or variable radius, and can also be made curly.

The mountain can be equipped with a device for centering the structure, carrying passenger seats, located in the station area or in front of it.

Passenger seats are most appropriate to arrange around the circumference, i.e. passengers can be placed with their backs or facing the center of the circle.

The vehicle may be located above or below the guide track, and the structure supporting the passenger seats may be fixed to the vehicle frame by means of an axle and / or ring support.

The invention is illustrated by drawings.

1 schematically shows the structure of a vehicle; Fig 2 - options for elements interacting with the stops.

The Katalnaya Gora consists of a guiding path 1, which can be closed or open, a vehicle consisting of one or more passenger trolleys 2 with supporting nodes 3. A structure 4 with passenger seats 5 is mounted on the frame of the trolley with rotation 5. Structure 4 has an element 6 designed to interact with stops (not shown) arranged in series along the guide path.

The catalytic mountain functions as follows.

Passengers occupy seats in the vehicle, and after fixing the safety equipment, the vehicle moves along the guide path.

The rotation of the structure 4 with the passenger seats is carried out by the interaction of the element 6 of the structure 4 with the stops located sequentially along the guide path. The use of stops is advisable if a simple guiding path is used in the catalan mount, i.e. paths creating minor inertial loads.

When using the stops creates uncertainty in the rotation of the structure 4, because the nature of the turn depends on the number of passengers carried (their mass) and their location. The nature of the interaction of the element 6 with emphasis is influenced by the occurring inertial loads, which in turn also determines the force impact on the structure 4, which determines the speed and frequency of rotation of the structure 4. Passenger seats of adjacent carts will move along different trajectories, which creates a variety of entertainment effects .

Element 6 may have a different form of execution. When performing element 6 in the form of a ring of variable radius or in the form of separate protruding parts, not every emphasis can interact with element 6, which also contributes to the uncertainty in the movement of passenger seats.
