Implementation of the invention

The method can be implemented as follows (see Fig. 1 - Fig. 8).

Any water attraction has a supporting bottom of the tank 1, side 2, sometimes decorative side 3, placed on top of the main side.

The elastic working surface is made in the form of a web 14. This web 14 must be fixed in tension to all sides of the attraction 2.

New in the claimed solution is that at least on the inner side of the side walls 2 of the attraction, tensioners are installed (see Fig. 2), to which spacers 6 with stop pads 7 are fixed, which abut against the support bottom 1, a support roller is installed in the tensioner 8 (see Fig. 1) or along the row of tensioners put a support bar 21 (see Fig. 7). The web from the side of the walls is fixed on the frame tubes 15, and the frame tubes 15 are attracted by means of tensioning means through the support rollers 8 or through the support bar 21 to the latches (see Fig. 3). The support bracket 4 can be fixed on the side of the side wall 2, for example, by means of bolts 10 or in other ways.

Before installation, the web 14 is first unrolled and inserted into specially made side pockets 17 (see Fig. 3, Fig. 7) of the web frame tubes 15. Then the web 14 is fixed on the upper platform at the drain grate 11 and on the lower platforms (near the sides 2) ...

In the process of tensioning the web 14 is tightened with the upper and lower tensioners (see Fig. 3 - Fig. 4).

Sometimes, opposite the drain grate 11 in the lower platform, not a board is placed, but support posts, similar to posts 12, which hold the platform with a hydraulic system, including a set of nozzles, in each of which a pump is installed, while the outlet openings of the nozzles are located above the working surface so that the water under pressure came out on the canvas 14 (similar to that implemented in patent RU 164278 U). In such cases, a fastening system is used similar to the upper platform with a drain grid 11.

In other embodiments of the amusement rides, when the canvas 14 is pulled directly to the board and there is no platform with a waterworks opposite the upper platform with a drain grate 11, a system similar to the tensioning system to the side board 2 described below is used for tension.

The process of tensioning the web 14 on the sides 2 from the inner side of the side walls can consist in the fact that the support brackets 4 are fixed as tensioners on the side walls, each of which is pivotally connected in the upper part with a pivot stop 5 having a retractable boom 6 with a support platform 7 at its end, abutting against the support bottom 1.

In the connection zone of the bracket 4 and the stop 5, a support is placed, below which the web tension lock is placed. In the connection zone of the bracket 4 and the stop 5, a support roller 8 is installed. And on the side of the side walls, the frame tubes 15 are placed opposite the brackets 4, and with the help of tensioners they are pulled through the support rollers to the latches of the corresponding brackets 4.

Chains 16 or cables (not shown in the drawings) can be used as tensioning means.

If a chain is used (see Fig. 5 - Fig. 6), then the chain 16 is fixed on the frame tube 15, and the end of the chain 16 is passed through the support roller 8 and fixed with the help of the web tension clamp 9 with the carriage 23.

The tensioners can be tightened alternately, simultaneously, in any direction and in other possible ways that are not described in the stated solution.

If a cable or tape 26 is used for tension (see Fig. 8), then with their help the frame tube 15 is pulled in a similar way, and it is fixed on the frame tube 15 either with a knot or with a special hook.

Stretch the web 14, for example, as follows (see Fig. 8). Take a wrench and begin to turn the pin 24 of the tension lock 9. The carriage 23 begins to descend along the screw 25 and pulls the web 14 to the side board 2, thereby the web is stretched without much effort.

And in the area of the upper part of the attraction adjacent to the drain grate 11, the process of stretching the canvas can be implemented so that horizontal strips are fixed to the vertical support posts 12 of the drain grate, one of which is the support 21 (see Fig. 7), located at the level drain grate 11, and the other - fixing 20, are located below; the frame tension tube 15 is fixed in the area of the upper part of the attraction, passed through the horizontal support bar 21, and by means of tension bolts 19 and, for example, using U-shaped brackets 18, which hold the frame tube 15, are fixed to the horizontal fixing bar 20, which is used as blade tension lock 14.

At the same time, in the area of the upper part of the attraction adjacent to the drain grate 11, the front vertical support posts 12 are used as a bracket, equipped with a pivot stop 13 having a retractable boom with a support platform at its end, which is abutted against the support bottom 1, and in the zone connections of the vertical support post 12 and the stop 13 place the horizontal support bar 21.

Thus, the claimed solution for the tensioning system of the elastic working surface, in the event of a need for tension, allows for quick tensioning without stopping the operation of the attraction, and is also very easy to maintain. In addition, the web tensioning system serves as an additional system of side wall spacers, if the web is tensioned for structures of prefabricated attractions, in which the side walls must be additionally fixed relative to the bottom and adjacent walls.
