Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A method of adapting a hill to provide an amusement D34/5 E device comprising a water slide dug into the ground having predetermined optional length, rate of descent [56] References Cited and curvature.
  • maximum utility is made of the contours or topography of hilly land bordering any body of water including, without limitation a lake reservoir, stream, ocean, pool, pond or artificial body of water by forming a trench or slideway in the ground of sufficient depth to contain and guide a person in prone or sitting position on a mat within the slideway.
  • the slideway is of substantially uniform depth and follows the contour of the hill along a sinuous path from near or at the top of a hill bordering a lake which will result in the slideway having a predetermined rate of descent.
  • the natural slope of the hill is steep enough to provide a faster rate of descent than desired 7 in a straight line.
  • the trench follows a zigzag path down the hill to obtain the desired rate of descent in much the same manner as a highway built across a steep mountain.
  • Water is delivered to the starting point at the top of the slideway by any suitable means such as gravity feed from a higher elevation or pumping upwardly from the body of water at the lower end of the slideway. In either event water is allowed to flow through the slideway in a predetermined volume which may be varied as desired to provide the requisite coefficient of friction for a person to traverse the slideway on a mat at a predetermined safe rate of speed.
  • the path of the slideway is arranged so that curves in the path have a desired effect on the speed of descent.
  • a landing pool is preferably provided at the bottom of the slideway to provide safe deacceleration for successive riders, although the lake or other body of water will provide equally safe deacceleration and the slideway may communicate directly with the lake.
  • the landing pool is preferably spaced above the surface of the lake to provide a water fall from the landing pool to the lake for the dual purpose of aerating the water in the lake and providing a pleasing aesthetic appearance.
  • the slideway is lined with reinforced concrete or other suitable material to provide a rigid, sturdy and durable slide conforming to the topography of the ground throughout its longitudinal extent.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the water slide and its landing pool
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of a typical curve in the path of the water slide.
  • FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially along line 33 in FIG. 2.
  • the numeral 10 broadly indicates a trench or slideway dug into the ground and conforming thereto.
  • the slideway 10 extends downwardly from a starting point 11 near the top of a hill to a landing pool 12 near the bottom of the hill.
  • the landing pool 12 is spaced above a lake 13.
  • Water is pumped from the lake to the starting point 11 by a pump 14 which empties into a shallow pool at the starting point 11.
  • the starting point or pool 11 communicates with the slideway 10 and water from the pool 11 flows into the slideway 10, down the slideway to the landing pool 12 and back into the lake 13 from which it came.
  • the slideway may follow any desired path from the starting point to the landing pool commensurate with the desired rate of descent, the desired degree of curvature, and the desired length of slideway.
  • the overall length of the slideway may be 400 feet with a vertical fall or drop of feet.
  • the landing pool 12 may be 20 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 3 feet deep.
  • the landing pool overflows into a 2 acre lake which supplies water to the pump 14 for elevation to the starting pool 1 1.
  • the lake 13 receives waste water from the slide where it settles and is recycled.
  • the slideway 10 is on an average slope of approximately 10 varied at selected points to control the desired rate of descent.
  • the pump is operated by a hp.
  • the slideway 10 is lined with concrete 4 to 6 inches thick and reinforced with steel rods. The concrete is finished smooth and rounded at the bottom on a 2 foot radius. The overall width of the slideway is 4 feet.
  • the foregoing specific statements are illustrative only and are not critical to the successful operation of the invention. All dimensions, ratings and values can be varied as desired.
  • the depth of water in the slideway is about 2 inches but again, can be more or less as desired. The more water,
  • the curved path of the slideway includes at least one major curve 14 (about 180) which is intentionally preceeded by a slight reverse curve 15 of about 10 for the purpose of positioning the rider for entry into the larger curve.
  • the major curve 14 has a four foot wall 16 on the outside of the curve to assist in retaining the riders within the slideway. The heavier the rider, the higher he goes up the wall.
  • a mat 20 is provided for each rider to protect the rider from abrasions.
  • the mat may be of any desired material including rubber, fiber, or plastic.
  • the depth and speed of the water are sufficient to require only a minimum frictional contact between the mat and the concrete slideway.
  • the method of adapting the topography of a hill to a water slide amusement device comprises:
  • a method according to claim 1 which includes the step of providing at least one major curve preceded by a slight reverse curve for the purpose of positioning the rider for entry into the major curve.
  • a water slide amusement device comprising a slideway dug into the side of a hill and conforming in a sinuous path to the contour of the hill, to define a predetermined rate of descent, a starting pool at the top of said slideway and communicating therewith, a landing pool at the lower end of said slideway and communicating therewith, said slideway extending from said starting pool to said landing pool, said starting pool and said landing pool each being at a lower elevation than their respective junctures with said slideway, and means for introducing water into the starting pool to flow down the slideway into the landing pool.
  • a structure according to claim 5 which includes at least one major curve preceded by a slight reverse curve for positioning successive persons for entry into the major curve.
