SHEET 8 [IF 8 v 1 AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates in general to amusement park rides and more particularly to rides intended for fun fairs or the like. From the commonest merry-go-round to the highly sophisticated modern inventions in the field, these rides are intended to provide thrill and more or less violent excitment to vistors of all ages of these fun fairs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a ride capable of causing an excitment differring from that given by hitherto known fun fair or like ridesand merry-go-rounds while affording a wide range of variation in the thrill and excitment. Moreover, the ride according to this invention is so arranged that it can be mounted permanently on the front or rear portion of a trailer for transporting same from one site to another; to this end, the component elements of the ride are adapted to be folded or collapsed to a horizontal position, either backwards or forwards, above the rear or front portion of the trailer, respectively, without requiring any dismantling or teardown except for the gondolas or like cars intendedfor receiving the passengers, with the possibility of transporting these gondolas or cars on the same trailer. When arriving at the intended site, the trailer is wedged, the ride elements are firstly erected to a substantially vertical position, then brought to their normal operating position, the only assembling operation consisting in suspending the gondolas or cars from their supporting or cantilever arms. It is clear that with a ride according to this invention idle periods are minimized as well as the crew necessary for erecting, dismantiling and transporting the ride.
To this end, the fun fair ride according to this invention is characterised in that it comprises a main platform, a frame structure carried by said platform and adapted to be rotatably driven about a vertical axis, a
telescopic mast suspended from the upper portion of said framestructure by means of a horizontal shaft carried by said frame structure, said mast being adapted to be pivoted in a plane perpendicular-to said horizontal shaft; an auxiliary platform at the-top end of said mast and normally perpendicular thereto, radial cantilever arms are disposed at spaced angular intervals at the upper portion of said auxiliary platform and adapted to pivot in radial planes, gondolas or cars suspended from the outer ends of said radial arms and power means for controlling at will and independently from one another the rotation of said frame structure with the elements carried thereby, the spreading out or the retraction of the telescopic mast, the swinging of said telescopic mast about the horizontal suspension shaft connecting same to said frame structure, the swinging movements of said radial arms and alsoof the gondolas carried thereby in radial planes, and the inclination of said auxiliary platform supporting said radial arms in relation to a horizontal plane.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side elevational view showing diagrammat-. ically the trailer-supported ride structure with the ra-. dial cantilever arms inclined downwards and the gondolas carried thereby in their lower position;
FIG. 2 is a similar view with the radial arms raised to the horizontal;
FIG. 3 is a plane view from above of the structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view showing the ride with the telescopic mast inclined to the vertical;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIGS. 2 and 4 showing the ride with the telescopic mast in its extended condition;
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The main platform 1 supporting the complete ride structure is adapted to pivot about a horizontal trans verse shaft 2 carried by the rear portion 3 of 'a trailer 4 of suitable design, rolling on the wheels 5, 6 of a pair of rear axles and on the wheels 7 of a front steering axle; a fluid-actuaded cylinder 8 is provided for pivoting the main platform 1 about the horizontal transverse shaft 2. f
Mounted on this main platform 1 is a plate 9 adapted to rotate about the vertical axis of the platform. this plate 9 being rigid with a toothed ring 10 meshing .with a pinion 11 adapted to be rotatably driven from suitable power means 12. i
The plate 9 carries a frame structure 13 having subupper telescopic section 17 of the pivoting mast 14..
Also pivotally mounted about a horizontal transverse shaft 18 carried by the upper portion of the upper telescopic section 17 of mast 14 is an auxiliary platform 19 adapted to be inclined by means of a'fluid-actuated cylinder 20 about said shaft 18.
A toothed wheel 21 is pivotally mounted about a central shaft perpendicular to said auxiliary platform 19 and carried by this shaft, as shown; said wheel 21 is in constant meshing engagement with a drive pinion 22 operatively connected to suitable power means 23.
more, hydraulic means 34 are provided for locking the cranked levers 30 in radial planes, and hydraulic shockabsorbers 35 are also provided for limiting the radial swinging movements of the links 32 and therefore of the gondolas 26.
The inclination of the telescopic mast 14 may be controlled by means of another fluid-operated cylinder 36, and a counterweight 37 is for balancing the assembly.
To transport the ride according to this invention from one site to another, the only step required consists in removing the gondolas 26; then, the radial cantilever arms 25 are folded about the telescopic mast l4 and, as shown in FIG. 7, the cylinder 8 is operated for pivoting the main platform 1 about the horizontal transverse shaft 2 until it is substantially parallel to the main plane of trailer 4; the gondolas 26 can easily be stored on the rear portion 3 of this trailer, behind said main platform 1.
When the trailer and the ride carried thereby have reached the intended site for the ride operation, the reverse manoeuver is performed for erecting the telescopic mast l4 and bring its various component elements to the position shown in FIG. I; then, the radial cantilever arms 25 can be locked in a plane perpendicular to that containing the telescopic mast 14, as shown in FIG. 2; during the ride operation the mast can be inclined to a certain extent, as shown in FIG. 4, and also extended as shown in FIG. 5; the auxiliary platform 19 may also be inclined as shown in FIG. 6.
By combining ,all these possible inclinations of the telescopic mast, radial arms and auxiliary platform with the permissible rotational movements of the frame structure and auxiliary platform, which may take place at different speeds and in the same or opposite directions, it will readily, occur to those conversant with the art that a wide range of thrill and excitment can be obtained for the passengers of the gondolas 26, thus making the ride particularly attractive.
A modification may be brought to the means controlling the tilting or inclination of the main platform 1 by pivoting the cylinder 38 on one side to a pivot pin 39 of the trailer 4 and on the other side to a strut 40 extending under the platform in a plane at right angles thereto, and providing another cylinder 41 pivoted at one end to a pivot pin 42 carried by the rear portion 3 of the trailer and'at the opposite end to a link 43 mounted to the pivot pin 2 of said platform. This assembly has a greater strength and the second cylinder 41 acts as a shock absorber (see FIGS. 8 and 9).
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a specific form of embodiment and a specific modification brought thereto, it will readily occur to those conversant with the art that many modifications and changes may be brought to these struc tures without departing from the basic principles of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
