Sept. 17, 1963 3 Sheets-Sheet 1 Filed Oct; 5, 1959 M. HAUG MERRY-GO-ROUND Sept. 17, 1963 Filed Oct. v5, 1959 3 Sheets-Sheet 2 Sept. 17, 1963 M. HAUG MERRY-GO-ROUND 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Filed Oct. 5, 1959 United States Patent 3,104,133 1 MERRY-Gfl-RQUND Mathias Hang, Kanalstrasse 1, Memmingen, Bavaria, Germany Filed Get. 5, 1959, Ser. No. 344,236 Claims priority, application Germany Feb. 13, 1959 13 Claims. (El. 272-316) The invention relates to a merry-go-round having a tower and a vertically displaceable cage for supporting seat-carriers rotatable about the tower, the plane of r0 tation of the seat-carriers being adapted to be inclined about a horizontal axis during the operation of the merrygo-round.
In the specification of my pending application Serial No. 697,401, now Patent 2,983,509, filed November 19, 1957, is disclosed a merry-go-round in which the horizontal axis is positioned at the base of the tower and the tower itself is tilted about this axis by means of a crossmember having one end attached to a fixed pivot near the ground and the other end attached to the cage so that during lifting movement, the cage describes a vertical circular path about the axis of the cross-member. This lrnown construction requires a very wide and stable base, n order that the tower shall remain securely standing even in its inclined position. In this connection, it should be remembered that the rotating masses are relatively large, since the tower rotates with the seat-carriers. This construction also requires a pivotal mounting and a ring mount for supporting the tower on its underframe and also a pivotal mounting for the upper end of the cross-member acting on the cage.
It is the object of the invention to considerably simplify this known construction. According to the invention there is provided a merry-go-round comprising a tower, a ring mount carried by the tower for vertical and tilting movement relative thereto, and a cage rotata-bly mounted on the ring mount supporting seat-carriers for rotation about the tower. Thus, with the present invention, it is neither necessary to tilt the entire tower, nor is it necessary to rotate the tower with the seat-carriers. Thus in the construction of the present invention it is onl necessary to have a single ring mount and it is possible to make the bearing surface of the tower smaller while still ensuring stability of the merry-go-round.
Preferably the ring mount is carried by a frame pivotally mounted on an auxiliary cage which is displaceable in a direction parallel to the axis of the tower, although in a different embodiment the ring mount is mounted on an auxiliary cage which is displaceable along the length of the tower and which engages a guide rail having an upper portion inclined relative to the tower axis so that, during lifting movement, the auxiliary cage is pivoted about a horizontal axis by the inclined portions of the guide rail. In the preferred embodiment controllable means are connected between the auxiliary cage and the frame for pivoting the frame about a horizontal axis.
As pointed out, with the construction according to the present invention, it is possible to dispense with one of the two ring mounts necessary with the previously proposed merry-go-rounds. It is, however, also possible rotatably to support the tower by an additional ring mount. With this embodiment of the invention, the inclined axis of the plane of rotation then rotates about the vertical tower axis, thus producing an additional effect. In this connection, it is expedient that the rotational speed of the tower should be considerably less than the rotational speed of the cage on its ring mount. The direction of rotation of the tower and the direction of rotation of the cage can be identical or opposite. Since the two drives for the tower rotation movement and the cage rotation movement may be independent of each other, it is also possible to Patented Sept. 17, 1963 achieve varied effects by changing the speed and directions of rotation of the tower and cage.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE l shows a side view of a merry-go-round with the cage lowered;
FIGURE 2 is a view similar to FIGURE 1 but in part section and showing the merry-go round with the cage in a raised, tilted position;
FIGURE 3 is a side view in part section of another embodiment of the merry-go-round showing the cage in a raised, tilted position;
FIGURE 4 is a plan view of the merry-go-round shown in FIGURE 3;
FIGURE 5 shows in horizontal section a detail of the merry-go-round of FIGURE 3;
FIGURE 6 is an elevational view of the detail shown in FIGURE 5;
FIGURE 7 is a side view of a further embodiment of the rnerry-goaound;
FIGURES "8 and 8a show a horizontal section taken along the line VIIIVIII of FIGURE 7; and
FIGURE 9 is a vertical section taken along the line IXIX of FIGURE 8a.
The merry-go-round shown in FIGURES 1 and 2 consists essentially of a tower 1 having a conical lower portion 1'. In the interior of the tower is a lifting device comprising a piston vertically displaceable in a cylinder under the action of fluid pressure which preferably is supplied in the form of compressed air. The compressed air is supplied by means of a pipe 30. A piston rod 26, which is shown at the upper end of the tower in the drawing, carries at its upper end a cross-member 28 secured to which are tension rods 27 connected to a driven member or auxiliary cage 2. The auxiliary cage 2 bears, by means of rollers 2 on the surface of the tower l.
The auxiliary cage carries two pins 3 at diametrically opposite points. These pins form a horizontal axis about which frame 4 mounted on the pins 3 can be tilted. The frame 4 can be tilted by the action of a working cylinder 7 extending between pivots 4 and 7'. The frame 4 carries a ring mount 5 upon which is mounted a cage 6. The auxiliary cage and frame generally form a supporting device for the cage 6, the latter being rotatable on the frame 4 by means of ball bearings 5 between its ring mount 5 and the frame. The inner surface 35 of the cage 6 is conical or funnel-shaped. Secured on the cage 6 is a gear ring 9 which meshes with a gear wheel 8' rotatable by a motor 3, the motor 8 being mounted on the frame 4 by means of a projection 34.
Provided on the cage 6 is a plurality of tangential pivots 6 upon which are mounted arms 32 carrying at their outer ends 33' seat-carriers or cars 3-3. Each arm is adapted to be individually controlled from the car mounted on its outer end by means of a piston and cylinder assemblies 31 extending between the pivots 6' and 32.
It should be noted that although it is preferred to have the cars 33 individually controllable by means of compressed air acting in the cylinders 31, this arrangement of the seat-carriers, arms and piston and cylinder assemblies may be replaced by seat-carriers constructed in some other manner.
The function of the merry-go-hound according to FIGURES l and 2 will be clearly comprehensible. The piston rod 26 in the tower 1 displaces the auxiliary cage 2, and thus the cage 6, along the tower. The frame 4 together with the cage 6 can be tilted by means of the assembly 7 and people travelling in the individual cars 33 can, be causing operation of the asembly 31, pivot the arms 32 out of the position shown in full lines in FIGURE 2 into the position shown in dot-dash lines. The tower 1 can also be rotated manually or by a motor and is supported for such rotation by the rollers It"; on the substructure 43. In this case the inclined axis of rotation of the seat-carriers is displaced along the surface of a cone about the vertical axis of the tower. In the constructional example illustrated in FIGURES 7 to 9, the auxiliary cage 20, which bears on the outer surface of the tower by means of rollers 20, is movable in the same way as the cake 2 of the embodiment according to FIGURES l and 2. Two diametrically opposite journals 22 carry a frame 23 upon which are mounted the cage 6 and its associated elements.
Provided on the frame 23 is a projection 42 having, below the journals 22, an inwardly-directed arm 41 carrying pins 24' upon which are mounted rollers 24. The rollers 24 engage in guide rails 21 mounted on either side of the tower 1. The upper ends of the guide rails 21 are curved.
When the auxiliary cage 20 is displaced along the tower, the rollers 24 slide in the guide rails 21 and, due to the curved upper portion of the guide rails 21, the frame 23 with the cage 6 and the associated elements is, in the upper position of the auxiliary cage 23, pivoted about the journals 22.
In FIGURE 3, the cage is designated 15, the tangential pivots for the arms 32 are designated 15 and those on the working cylinder 31 are designated 15. The cage 15 bears, via a ring mount (not shown) and the rollers or balls '39, on auxiliary cage 11 and projecting flange 11. The cage 15 can be raised by the action of piston and cylinder assemblies 25 with the cylinders pivotally mounted at 25' on the lower portion 1 of the tower and having their piston rods 26 engage the cage at pivots 28'. In an alternative arrangement two assemblies 25 may be provided instead of the four shown in the drawmgs.
Mounted on opposite sides of the tower 1 are guide rails 13, the upper portions of which are smoothly curved or bent horizontally in two directions and inclined to the axis of the tower. The auxiliary cage 11 has rollers 12 and 18 mounted on its inner side, the rollers 12 guiding the auxiliary cage 11 for translational movement along the tower and the rollers 18 guiding the auxiliary cage in its movements radially of the tower. The axis of a roller 18 is designated 19 (FIGURE 5). The rollers 12 are shown mounted in U-shaped retaining means 40.
Upon actuation of the cylinders 25 the auxiliary cage 11 is pushed upwardly, the rollers 12 and 18 being guided by the guide rails 13. Due to the curved portion at the upper end of each guide rail, the auxiliary cage 11, with the cage 15 and the remaining devices, adopts a tilted position. The shape of the guide rails 13 ensures that the centre of gravity of the vertically adjustable and rotating elements departs only very slightly from the vertical central axis or" the tower 1 and, when the cage is in its highest position, lies on the central axis.
The invention can be varied in various ways. Thus, the lifting devices for the vertical movement of the cage or the auxiliary cage can, in the various embodiments, be arranged in the interior of the tower to act on the cage via tension rods, or they can act on the auxiliary cage from below to force the latter upwardly, or they can aot directly on the frame 4 and tilt the cage by varying the height to which different sides of the frame 4 are raised. Both the lifting movement and the tilting movement may alternatively be effected by purely mechanical means, the tilting movement, for example, being produced by means of a guide linkage.
In a further variation of the invention, the cage may be tilted about a horizontal axis which is laterally offset and does not intersect the vertical central axis of the tower or the axis of rotation of the seat-carriers; this does not, however, imply any change in the essential character of the invention.
