Description

A. FEILER. AERIAL FLIGHT GHUTE. APPLIOATION rmm JULY 23,1908.
Patnted June 22, 1909.
UNITED STATFQATENT OFFICE.
AUGUST FEILER, OF PFORZHEIM, GERMANY.
AERIAL-FLIGHT CHUTE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUST FEILER, a subject of the German Emperor, and resident of Pforzheim, Baden, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aerial-Flight Chutes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in aerial flight chutes for amusement purposes, and more particularly to a device for altering or reversing the inclination of the ropes of the same.
Between two trestles which are placed at a distance of about 100 meters from each other, the ropes of the aerial flight chute are fixed in such a way as to run with an inclination from one trestle to the other. On the rope runs a roller from which a seat or the like is freely suspended. The persons sitting on the seat slide, according to the inclination of the rope, with more or less speed along the rope, the end speed being considerably decreased owing to the hanging-through of the rope so that the persons can be easily caught when arriving at the opposite trestle. To avoid a removal of the seats and to allow of the latter effecting the back flight on the same rope, means are provided to alter or reverse the inclination of the latter so that the same instead of running from one trestle down to the other assumes then the opposite inclination. For this purpose the rope supports are made of rollers which are arranged on top of toothed racks the latter being adapted by means of a m0tor-driven gear to be lowered or raised to suit requirements.
To make the aerial flight railway more amusing the seat of the same may form a boat which on its way along the rope passes through water.
The accompanying drawing shows the subj ect matter of the invention.
Figures 1 and 2 are respectively an elevation and plan of an aerial flight chute, while Figs. 3 and 4 show larger views at right angles of the trestle with the improved device, and Fig. 5 is a cross section through the toothed rack.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 23, 1908.
Patented June 22, 1909.
Serial No. 445,064.
The two trestles a and I) receive each two floors a a and I), b respectively, and from the upper one of one trestle the aerial flight to the lower one of the opposite trestle is effected, the rope c or (1 respectively running always from the upper floor of one trestle to the lower floor of the other trestle. The rope is guided over and supported on a roller support 6 and kept in stretched position by counterweights or the like. The roller supports 6 are fixed on top of toothed racks h which gear with a toothed gearing i the latter being adapted to be driven from a motor 7; or the like. On the rope a rollerf is provided from which. a seat 9 or the like is freely suspended. To reverse or alter the inclination of the rope it is simply necessary to lower the toothed. rack of one trestle and at the same time to lift that of the other trestle, so that for instance the rope which previously runs from the upper floor of the trestle a down to the lower floor of the trestle 1) runs then from the upper floor of the trestle 1) down to the lower floor of the trestle a. By these means the seats or the like can easily be run back on the same rope on which they effected their forward run.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 2- In an aerial flight chute having ropes and seats designed to be run on the latter to and fro, a device for reversing the inclination of said ropes, comprising in combination roller supports at each end of said ropes, toothed racks to carry said roller supports, and motor-driven toothed gears designed to move said racks up and down to suit requirements, for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
AUGUST FE ILE R.
