Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for generating progressive waves for sports and games, which has a flexible blanket extending over an endless path and moving parts beneath it, by means of which the blanket is carried and deformed so that it has wave-shaped elevations and forms depressions which advance with the corresponding movement of the moving parts in the direction of the web, the ceiling not being moved.
• a wave generator is known in which the wave-shaped deformation of a flexible blanket is effected by stamps or rods which are attached to the underside of the blanket and move periodically up and down between two in a suitable time sequence
• An object of the invention is to provide a wave generator of the type mentioned, in which the flexible ceiling is deformed by the movable parts supporting it in the area of curved tooth sections in such a way that the lowest possible tension forces occur in the material of the ceiling, and thereby the Life span of the blanket is increased.
• the second object underlying the invention is to create a wave generator of the type mentioned Art, the railing of which is constructed on the edges of the ceiling in such a way that it offers the user a firm hold and security even during the undulating movement of the ceiling.
• a simple railing with rigidly fixed railing posts is out of the question because it is difficult to attach railing posts to a flexible ceiling so that the upper, free end of a .rail post does not fluctuate too much under normal use.
• the distance between the upper ones changes. Ends of adjacent terrain , so that a rigid handrail is not suitable for this.
• the first-mentioned task namely to deform the ceiling in a wave shape so that the lowest possible tension forces occur in the ceiling material, is claimed by one.
• 1 specified wave generator solved, in which in the area of curved track sections the ceiling-carrying moving parts - e.g., idlers on chassis or hydraulically operated stamps' that move up and down - are arranged so that their lower
• the surface of the points touching the ceiling lie in a surface which forms waves in the web direction, the envelope, the wave height and wavelength of which increase from the smallest value at the inner edge of the web towards the outer edge of the web.
• the second object namely to construct the railing on both edges of the ceiling in such a way that it offers a firm hold to the users during the undulating movement of the ceiling, is achieved by the invention as characterized in claims 4 and 3 that the railing posts made of solid material arranged on both edges of the ceiling can be pivoted at their lower ends with the ceiling - e.g. P.
• Such a railing offers the user a fixed
• FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a characteristic sector of a shaft generator according to the invention, only three roller axes being drawn for the sake of a better overview.
• Figure 2 shows a side view A-A of the sector shown in Figure 1.
• FIG. 3 shows a section BB of the sector shown in FIG. 1, only the three roller axes shown in FIG. 1 being recorded.
• Figure 4 shows a side view of a through a guide rail-held railing post of a wave generator according to the invention.
• FIG. 5 shows a side view of the lower end of a railing post on an enlarged scale. 6 shows the section C-C of FIG. 5.
• Fig. 7 shows the connection of a railing handrail with two railing posts.
• Fig. 8 shows the guide claw of a railing post on an enlarged scale.
• FIG. 1, 2 and 3 show a characteristic sector of a wave generator according to the invention, which in its basic structure comprises a flexible ceiling 1 extending over a closed circular path, under the ceiling 1 movable chassis 3 in the tooth direction with on the underside of the ceiling 1 adjacent support rollers 4, which are arranged in a wave shape in the direction of cream.
• the chassis 3 move with their wheels 5 on the rails 2 of the circular path and thereby deform the ceiling 1 so that it forms progressive waves on which you can surf with roller skates or skateboard, directly on the ceiling 1, or with Skiing on a layer of snow to be applied to the ceiling 1, or with a surfboard on a layer of water to be applied to the ceiling 1.
• the shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 3 th sector of the wave generator comprises half a wavelength.
• the support roller envelope forms exactly 10 waves along the circular path.
• ie the wavelength increases in the direction of the outer edge in proportion to r.
• This results in a wavelength at the outer edge m and at the inner edge L i 14-.86 m.
• a railing post 9 is pivotally connected to the ceiling 1 at its lower end via a joint consisting of a foot 14 and a pin 15 in the web direction.
• a railing post 9 is connected via a guide claw 10 to an immovably fixed vertical guide rail 11 such that it always maintains its position perpendicular to the earth's surface during its upward and downward movement.
• FIG. 8 shows a guide claw 10 with three rollers 12.
• the rollers run along the guide rail 11 and transmit the occurring forces acting alternately in different directions to the guide rail 11 with little friction.
• Fig. 7 shows a handrail 16 made of solid material, each with a flexible connector 17 at its ends, with which it is attached to the cable guides 13 of the adjacent railing posts 9. Since the distance between the cable guides of the adjacent railing posts 9 is constantly changing, the length of the railing handrail 16, including the two connecting pieces 17, must match the greatest distance between the cable guides 13 of the neighboring railing posts 9.
