Definitions
- the invention relates to equipment for a funfair, affording places to a certain number of passengers who are solidly anchored internally of a moving ride, for example constituted by a closed shell.
- the invention relates to the field of equipment which offers passengers a random series of unordered and unpredictable ride trajectories.
- the passengers' enjoyment consists in being subjected to centrifugal forces and accelerations which vary continuously in direction and sort.
- the aim of the invention is to make available an equipment which realises the above movements on a continuous trajectory which varies without any continuity of course, but randomly.
- the aim is attained by an equipment which rotates unorderedly about an axis which continuously changes within a bundle of axes all passing through a point.
- the point can be fixed or can be subjected to unordered movements.
- the equipment is preferably constituted by a closed shell, generally of an ovoid shape, preferably spherical, internally of which are located places for the passengers to sit, for example solidly anchored seats which receive and securely hold the passengers.
- the shell is supported on a frame by means for constraining which enable the shell to rotate about a diameter axis thereof which axis changes continuously thanks to the motion imparted on the shell.
- the means for constraint can be of various nature, and in themselves of known type, such as a trio of pirouetting wheels, a trio of idle spherical bearings, or even means for support based on an air cushion, or simple sliding supports having a low friction coefficient.
- the motion allowed by the means for constraint comprises a succession of rotations which, in the case of a spherical shell, maintain the centre of the spherical shell fixed with respect to the frame.
- the frame can be subjected in turn to unordered movements.
- the invention further comprises means for imparting the desired movements on the shell with respect to the frame, as well as means for imparting the unordered movements on the frame.
- the embodiment relates to a spherical shell, but could equally relate to a closed shell having a different configuration.
- the figures show a frame 1 having a base constituted by three beams 11 which are coplanar and diverging and positioned at 120° from one another.
- a column 12 rises from the ends of each of the beams.
- each fork 111 is rotatable about an axis thereof, which axis preferably converges together with the axes of the other forks towards a common point, fixed relative to the frame 1.
- Each of the two forks 111 bears an idle wheel 112, while the further fork 111' bears a wheel 113 keyed on the shaft of an electric motor 114 fixed to the fork.
- the rotations of the shaft of the motor 114 are controlled by an encoder, not illustrated, and are commanded by an electric processor according to a predetermined program.
- the axis of the fork 111' bearing the motor 114 is connected to the shaft of a motor 115 which causes the fork 111' to rotate at random.
- the rotations of the fork 111' are controlled by an encoder, not illustrated, and are commanded by an electronic processor according to a predetermined program.

- the three wheels 122 are placed in sliding contact with the spherical shell 20 having the centre thereof preferably coinciding with the point of convergence of the rotation axes of the forks 111 and 121.
- the spherical shell 20 is set in rotation about the axis passing through the centre and parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel 113.
- both motors 114 and 115 are controlled by an encoder which commands a halt in a fixed position, which is also the rest position of the spherical shell 20.
- the spherical shell 20 exhibits a door 21 for opening and gaining access to the inside thereof, which door, in the rest position, is always in the same place, indicated in figure 1, for access and exit of the passengers to and from the ride, using a staircase 200.
- a ledge 22 is arranged at the same level as the door 21 (figure 2) on an internal side of the spherical shell 20, and fixed by known means which are not illustrated.
- the ledge 22 is on a diameter plane of the spherical shell 20, at an equator of the spherical shell 20, and seats 23 are solidly anchored on the ledge 22, which seats 23 are equipped with security belts for retaining the passengers.
- the spherical shell 20 can also contain a plurality of ledges in parallel positions, or also a series of seats arranged randomly.
- the spherical shell 20 is generally constructed by welding segments of sheet metal having a spherical profile, and can exhibit polar zones thereof constituted by a transparent cap.
- the random activation of the motors 114 and 115 can be commanded either manually or via an electronic processor which responds to a special program.
- the frame 1 is fixed to the ground; it could however be supported, at least at one of the beams 11, by mobile rest means able to impart unordered motion thereon.
- the mobile rest means are easily predictable by an expert in the field, and are therefore not illustrated.

Abstract
- a rigid closed shell provided internally thereof with at least a place for a passenger;
- a frame for supporting the shell,
- being means for constraining and supporting the shell which enable the shell to rotate about an axis which varies continuously throughout a range of a plurality of axes having any orientation;
- means for imparting rotations on the shell, which rotations are unordered with respect to the axis.
Description
- The invention relates to equipment for a funfair, affording places to a certain number of passengers who are solidly anchored internally of a moving ride, for example constituted by a closed shell.
- The invention relates to the field of equipment which offers passengers a random series of unordered and unpredictable ride trajectories.
- The passengers' enjoyment consists in being subjected to centrifugal forces and accelerations which vary continuously in direction and sort.
- The aim of the invention is to make available an equipment which realises the above movements on a continuous trajectory which varies without any continuity of course, but randomly.
- The aim is attained by an equipment which rotates unorderedly about an axis which continuously changes within a bundle of axes all passing through a point.
- The point can be fixed or can be subjected to unordered movements.
- The equipment is preferably constituted by a closed shell, generally of an ovoid shape, preferably spherical, internally of which are located places for the passengers to sit, for example solidly anchored seats which receive and securely hold the passengers.
- The shell is supported on a frame by means for constraining which enable the shell to rotate about a diameter axis thereof which axis changes continuously thanks to the motion imparted on the shell.
- The means for constraint can be of various nature, and in themselves of known type, such as a trio of pirouetting wheels, a trio of idle spherical bearings, or even means for support based on an air cushion, or simple sliding supports having a low friction coefficient.
- The motion allowed by the means for constraint comprises a succession of rotations which, in the case of a spherical shell, maintain the centre of the spherical shell fixed with respect to the frame.
- The frame can be subjected in turn to unordered movements.
- The invention further comprises means for imparting the desired movements on the shell with respect to the frame, as well as means for imparting the unordered movements on the frame.
- The constructional and functional advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge clearly from the detailed description that follows, illustrated by the figures of the appended drawings, which illustrate a preferred but non-limiting embodiment, given by way of example.

- Figure 2 is a section along line II-II of figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a detail of figure 1.
- Figure 4 is section along line IV-IV of figure 2.
