Definitions

  • the invention relates to amusement facilities of the type having the features according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the ascent of the gondolas is effected by using a frame with toggle lever arms, which in the rest position of the carousel, when the gondolas are set down on the ground, assume a kink position and which are stretched before the start of the rotary movement by means of a coiling tether, so that the gondolas are stretched raised to a certain height or just by Centrifugal force can be raised to a height proportional to the speed of rotation.
  • Overturning rollers prevent a crank connected to the axis of rotation, to which a tether engages, which, even at the highest speed of the carousel, only allows pendulum movements of the crank and which is tightened by the lowering of the gondola when the carousel rotates more slowly, thereby forcibly bringing the gondola back to its original position and finally locked.
  • carousels with gondolas which can be rotated 360 degrees about an axis lying tangentially to the rotating circle of the gondola about the central column (roll axis) and which also have movable wing simulations, the position of which is controlled by control elements from the gondola are changeable by the passenger himself in order to simulate flight movements.
  • This document also discloses swiveling safety bars for holding a person in the gondola. Since the gondolas in this carousel are suspended from pendulum arms, the inertia of the gondola and its occupants is easier to overcome, which means that the carousel is designed to have more sweeping movements in accordance with the publication mentioned first.
  • Amusement systems with gondolas in the suspension as they are explained in the two publications mentioned, however, have shortcomings in the possible low operating speeds and shortcomings and inefficient inefficiencies, so that a practical breakthrough in the application has not yet been achieved.
  • the object of the invention is to design an amusement facility with gondolas, whose rollover, in particular its rollover about the axis (roll axis) lying in the direction of movement of the gondola, can be positively controlled from the gondola.
  • the invention solves this problem by training features according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • Such a motor drive between the nacelle and the frame can be controlled in groups, individually or collectively from a central control station.
  • a motor drive is provided between each nacelle and its frame, which is directly coupled to the control members in the nacelle.
  • a motor drive enables the control of oscillating rolling movements or one overturn or several overturns in succession, preferably regardless of the driving speed of the nacelle wise around the roll axis with which an axis lying in the direction of travel of the nacelle is defined, but also around other axes which form an angle with the roll axis. It is up to the passenger to automatically increase or reduce the simulated flight feeling. This considerably increases the attractiveness of such an amusement facility.
  • this drive between the gondola and its frame for suspension and the control means for the drive are completely independent of the type of movement of the gondola.
  • Design features of the invention are therefore applicable both to carousels and to amusement facilities with gondolas which carry out any other movement, for example linear movement, ascent and descent or the like.
  • the application of the features of the invention is also not limited to the optical replication of aircraft or the like, but can be used with the same effect both in nostalgic gondola designs and in futuristic flight object replicas. A rollover control around several axes that enclose an angle with one another should not be excluded.
  • a control linkage is advantageous which allows the gondolas to adjust their flight positions without hindrance due to centrifugal forces, so that the drive only becomes effective when flight positions are controlled beyond those flight positions resulting from physical forces should. In this way, it should be achieved that the attitude arising due to centrifugal forces are not influenced if the passenger does not intend to control them himself.
  • a transmission linkage is provided between the control member in the nacelle and the regulating member of an electric motor which acts as a drive between the nacelle and the frame, which has two concentrically mounted parts which can be rotated relative to one another but are sprung against one another in both directions of rotation and one has both parts supported shift rod, the length of which is adjustable between the supports.
  • This ensures that the drive can only be switched on if the nacelle is to perform rolling movements beyond the inclined position caused by the centrifugal forces.
  • a smaller inclined position can be controlled in order not only to perform rollovers in both directions, but also to enable pendulum movements around a central position.
  • this transmission linkage can be designed in such a way that it switches off the drive of the nacelle at certain speeds when the nacelle is actuated by control from the passenger beyond extreme positions.
  • an amusement system which has features according to the characterizing part of claim 1, should have seats in the gondolas which form groups of three next to each other, with each of the two outer seats being assigned a pivotable safety bar and these two safety bars facing each other together Are connected on the inside with a safety bar for the seat located between them.
  • This enables the gondola to be better balanced before driving starts.
  • a passenger alone can take a seat in the middle.
  • Two passengers take a seat in the two outer seats, while three passengers sit next to each other in the gondola.
  • the resulting better weight balance of the gondola depending on the occupancy of the gondola is particularly important when rolling overturns because uneven gondola occupancies result in imbalances that can significantly impair the feeling of overturning or even dampen the overturning.
  • a particular solution of the invention in this direction provides that, in the case of seats arranged in groups of three, the two outer seats in the nacelle are each assigned a pivotable safety bar, both of which have a half-bar of a divided safety bar for the middle seat on the inside facing each other.
  • Preference is given to safety bars which rest on the passenger over the shoulder or in the pelvic area.
  • compensating means are provided which consist of parts which can be telescopically displaced against the action of a spring and which can be firmly connected to one another in the holding position.
  • a design is proposed in which the safety bar in the vicinity of its articulation has an extension which can be pulled out of a pocket of the safety bar against the action of a spring and is articulated with a double lever, this double lever being articulated at one end on the nacelle and on its the other end has detents which releasably engage from the outside in counter detents on the safety bar.
  • this double lever is designed as an angle lever, the leg carrying the catches extending approximately parallel to the end of the safety bracket in the direction of the spring tension effective on the articulated connection of the other end of the angle lever, it is achieved that the catches are effectively pressed together when the spring is under tension.
  • a deliberate release of the catches for the purpose of opening the safety bar is possible with conventional means by mechanical or electrical means when the nacelle is at a standstill.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the arrangement of the gondolas 1 on the frame 2, which in the case of these exemplary embodiments is designed as a carousel rotating stand.
  • 1 shows gondolas in a futuristic form
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the formation of the gondolas in nostalgic form, for example as an airplane.
  • the gondolas are rotatably mounted on the free ends of arms 3 in a bearing 4 about an axis lying in the direction of locomotion, that is to say in the case of these exemplary embodiments about an axis lying tangentially on the rotating circle of the gondola.
  • the storage is arranged as possible in the center of gravity of the occupied gondola in order to store it as balanced as possible, so that it is automatically erected in the rest phase by a structurally appropriate reaction to gravity.
  • the center of gravity of the gondola in the occupied and unoccupied state should be as far as possible below the bearing 4 so that an automatic erection takes place from all inclination positions.
  • the aircraft indicated schematically in FIG. 2 is shown schematically in FIG. 3 on an enlarged scale.
  • On the outside of its fuselage there are oppositely rotatable wings 5, the control shafts 6 of which are connected to control levers 7 within the nacelle, so that the passenger can use a control lever 7, if necessary can make an adjustment of the wings 5 via an angular gear 8.
  • windmill effects can be achieved, which lead to the inclination of gondola 1 and can be reversed alternately.
  • a motor drive from an electric motor 18 is provided for each nacelle.
  • the rotary movement of this motor 18, which is fixedly arranged on the frame, is transmitted to a ring 19 surrounding the nacelle (partially broken away in FIG. 3), so that the motor 18 can forcibly rotate the nacelle about its longitudinal axis (roll axis).
  • the control element of the electric motor 18 can also be actuated by a control member 7 by the passenger in the nacelle.
  • a transmission linkage arranged between the control element 7 and the control element of the drive motor 18 compensates for centrifugal forces.
  • This transmission linkage has a control shaft 6 and a servo drive shaft 10 mounted concentrically with it, with two cams 11 attached to it, which enclose an angle with one another and interact with counter surfaces on the shaft 6.
  • Springs 12 are arranged between the cams 11 and the counter surfaces, so that relative movements between the shafts 6 and 10 are possible while overcoming the spring tension. This enables gondola displacements as a result of centrifugal forces without being influenced by the will of the passenger, so that the control movements of the passenger are only possible beyond these gondola movements caused by centrifugal force.
  • the springs 12 also effect a smooth transition when the control movements of the passenger are transferred to the control element of the engine.
  • a shift rod 15 is supported both on the shaft 6 and on the servo drive shaft 10 and here actuates a control switch 16 for the control element of the electric motor 18.
  • the length of the shift rod 15 can be adjusted between the two supports.
  • the control switch 16 can simultaneously actuate an auxiliary drive 17 to support the adjustment of the wings 5 if the drive 18 is to be dispensed with in whole or in part.
  • This auxiliary drive 17, which is indicated schematically in FIG. 4, is accommodated in FIG. 3 within the box 9.
  • FIG. 5 shows a safety bar design for a gondola in which groups of three are formed.
  • a safety bar 21 is assigned to each of the two outer seats and its ends are pivotally articulated in the nacelle.
  • the two mutually facing inner sides of the safety bar 21 have half-bracket lugs 22 which form a safety bar for the third seat in the middle between the two outer ones.
  • This exemplary embodiment shows shoulder brackets which are movable in pivot bearings with the axis 24 and can be securely applied by folding down and pressing on the shoulder area of the passenger.
  • compensating means for adapting to different person sizes and for ensuring that the safety bars 21 are firmly attached to the body of the passengers are provided.
  • FIG. 7 shows a safety bar design for a three-seat group, in which additional support brackets 34 are provided for the lumbar region of the people in the gondola and are connected to the actual safety bar 21 by webs 35.
  • the articulated connection with the nacelle is shown on the left, which can be designed according to the example in FIG. 6.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show an exemplary embodiment of a gondola, such as can be used when the features of the invention are to be used in an amusement facility in which the gondolas have essentially unequal routes, for example on straight sections or in Move up and down.
  • the nacelle 1 is suspended in the frame 2 and enclosed by a ring 19 to which the drive motor is attached.
  • the frame 2 can be moved on elevated railway rails 37 by means of a carriage 36.
  • the pendulum effect and the swinging out of the gondola 1 can be limited laterally by elastic reflex that springs 38 are arranged between the gondola 1 and the chassis 36, so that the desired pendulum effect can be significantly stabilized and limited by the springs.
