Description

The attraction "Water Carousel" refers to the means of healthy, safe and exciting joint recreation for children and adults in the waters of shallow bays, lakes and rivers.

There are a great many ways, technical means and devices for spending leisure time on the surface of natural and artificial reservoirs in the open air, the arsenal of which is annually replenished, updated, growing and continuously increasing. However, the special conditions for combating the pandemic of viral infectious diseases imposed a strict ban on mass gatherings of people in public places and in closed spaces, which negatively affected the motor skills, social and physical activity of the younger generation, always thirsty for fun and entertainment due to the characteristic features of their age. , whose deficiency in the regime of self-isolation painfully affects their detrimentally depressed mental state and the full value of their normal mental and physical development.

No bright prototypes and analogues close in spirit and technical performance were found for the invented autonomous non-volatile attraction at the date of filing the application. The author revealed only their pitiful similarities with a different assortment of rare advantages and many shortcomings, which for the most part relate to bulky capital and / or fundamental structures made of concrete and rolled metal, equipped with electric motors, rails and control panels. Attraction "Water Carousel" according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 169768, IPC A63G 3/00 dated 04/08/2016 for a utility model, only with a very big stretch can be recognized as a prototype of the claimed technical solution, and even then because it is also operated on the surface of the reservoir.

The purpose and objectives of the present invention is an attempt to achieve the fullest possible satisfaction of the interests of small groups of the resting public with self-limited age-related legal capacity by reducing the material costs for the installation, manufacture and installation of a compact, collapsible and mobile transportable mobile means of obtaining a lot of entertainment and pleasure in the form of positive emotions from selectively sufficient dosed physical activity during their stay on the water and yards of a moored structure, stylized as an uninhabited sailing ship or an artificial island, full of mysteries, secrets and fantasies, and always ready for a joyful meeting with new inhabitants.

Technically, the invention is implemented, for example, by the strength, knowledge, skill and skill of a team of two people who are able, using a special tool, to perform installation at a pre-selected point in the water area of a steel mast, for example, with a height ranging from 1.5 to 3 meters above the water's edge, made of a water pipe, for example, with a diameter of 40 ... 60 mm, at the lower end of which at least one curvilinearly curved in the form of an auger is fixed, for example, with a diameter of about 400 mm. The specific diameter of the auger, which plays the role of an anchor pile, is determined empirically and depends on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soil properties of the bottom of the reservoir. On the body of the mast with the possibility of free rotation around it are hinged, preferably three, trapezoidal flat and moderately rigid, allowing flexibility and elasticity without destructive deformations, openwork trusses made of plastic, for example polypropylene, pipes connected to each other by means of one-piece, coupling and / or threaded connections, to which, on shrouds and cords made of ropes, climbing equipment and ropes, inflatable swimming aids are attached, well-known classic hanging hammocks and chairs in the form of sun loungers with a foot pedal drive of a turbine shaft with blades in an amount of preferably three, but not more than five, kits. In places where a large crowd of people who want to take their place on the attraction crowded on the shore, waiting for their turn, it is advisable to install them locally pointwise in the form of a gypsy camp. Such a limited combination and concentration of traditional lifebuoys, air mattresses and "cheesecakes" around a tent resting on the water, covered with sails, hung with yards, hangers, ladders and hammocks in the style of those on which sailors of brigantines and pirate schooners once rested from watch , will inevitably cause delight among children and their tenderly loving parents, who conscientiously control the behavior of children and constantly worry about the timely elimination of possible threats to their safe rest on the water far from land.

All elements and parts of the carousel construction are delivered to the place of installation and installation by land and, of course, by water, therefore it is desirable to maintain their positive buoyancy by sealing the cavity of the pipes, subject to the condition that the mass of the disassembled parts should not be more than 30-50 kg. The correct choice of the installation site of the carousel and the methods of its installation and dismantling are the subject of know-how and go far beyond the declared essential features of novelty and usefulness, and therefore left behind the scenes.

In FIG. 1 schematically depicts the architectural composition of all rigid structural elements of the Water Carousel attraction without canvases, awnings, covers and sails, as seen from the top.

In FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-section of the attraction along the line A-A.

The implementation of the technical solution of the present inventive concept is based on the idea of the need to install a single mast (1) in shallow water, see Fig. 1 and FIG. 2, which acts as an anchor pile for the frame of the floating tent and supporting the epicenter of the fabric of its dome (not shown in the drawings). The frame of the tent is made of openwork trusses (2) with a total number of at least three, which is the most optimal, because a smaller number of them makes the whole structure very shaky and unstable, and a larger one breaks the idyll and harmony, provoking the growth of conflicts between the interests of users. Each truss (2), made flat and soldered from plastic pipes using a set of quick-release fittings, is installed vertically and by means of hinges (3 and 4), allowing them to freely rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on desires and intentions of visitors who have taken one or another position in one or in each chair (5), is fixed on the body of the mast (1) and equidistant from it and from each other by a grouping of straight transverse rails (6) made of a pipe and located at different levels inside the entire structure that makes up the frame of the tent. Part of the rails (6) located near the mast (1) is rigidly connected by transverse rungs (7) and eventually turned into assault ladders with the formation of a separate isolated space for a hanger (not shown in the drawing), in the rear of which the details are located and carefully stored outerwear and hand luggage with food, and the other part of the rails was used for attaching the suspension of hammocks (8) and regular air mattresses (9). On the front edge of the seat seats (10), fixedly fixed on the periphery of the trusses (2) above the water surface under the soles of the feet, hinged supports (11) of the horizontal axis of rotation of the crankshaft (12) of the turbine (13) are fixed, on one or each end of which there is a rigid radially radiant blades (14) are fixed, providing, by means of a pedal drive, the generation of torque from the effort of the muscles of the legs of a resting person. In FIG. 2 shows a variant of placing the turbine impeller in the inner space of the carousel.

The operating modes of the carousel are full of the widest variety in the range from a complete stop to an acceptable high speed of rotation, when all turbines are turned on and all moored watercraft are uncoupled, and in addition to the back of at least one of the seats an outboard electric motor is attached, which, alas, not safe. With what intensity and at what pace to rotate the carousel or not, the team of visitors decides collectively or dictates the will of one on the other, depending on the composition and nature of the contingent gathered on the carousel and the physical capabilities of the persons seated in chairs to the pedals (15) of the crankshaft (12) turbines (13). There are more than enough places for voluntary jumps into the water and / or accidental or unintentional, but almost always safe, falling on such a water carousel, so cheerful laughter, joyful moments and an endless series of holidays are guaranteed to all participants.
