Description

Problemstellung:Problem:

Der Markt im Schaustellergewerbe ist hart, und neben dem Kampf um die zahlenden Kunden geht es hier insbesondere um den Kampf um Standplätze.Of the Market in the showman industry is tough, and next to the fight for the Paying customers are particularly concerned with the battle for pitches.

Wenn ein Volksfestveranstalter sein Volksfest ausschreibt, kann es oft vorkommen, dass er z. B. gedenkt, einem Riesenrad den Zuschlag zu erteilen, sich aber 4 Riesenradbetreiber um einen solchen Standplatz bemühen.If It often happens that a Volksfestveranstalter advertises its folk festival occur that he z. B. commemorates a Ferris wheel to the contract However, 4 Ferris wheel operators ask for such a stand endeavor.

Anders als in anderen Wirtschaftsbereichen üblich, bekommt dann weder der 1. noch der höchstbietende den Standplatz, sondern der schönste, ggf. der modernste neuste, einzigartigste oder beste.Different as usual in other industries, then gets neither the 1. still the highest bidder the stand, but the most beautiful, possibly the most modern newest, most unique or best.

Deshalb überbieten sich die Schausteller immer wieder damit, das höchste, schönste und komfortabelste Riesenrad zu bauen.Therefore outbid the showmen keep coming back, the tallest, most beautiful and comfortable Ferris wheel to build.

Im Streitfall kam es schon vor, dass ein unabhängiger Sachverständiger nachmessen musste, wer denn nun das höchste Riesenrad hat.in the In case of dispute, it was already possible for an independent expert to check who had the highest Ferris wheel has.

Weniger spektakuläre Fahrgeschäfte bekommen dann auf den interessanten und lukrativen Veranstaltungen keinen Standplatz mehr und wandern auf weniger lukrative Veranstaltungen ab, werden eingemottet, vergammeln oder werden ins Ausland verkauft, wenn sie nicht überarbeitet werden und wie neu ein neues Leben beginnen können.Fewer spectacular rides then get on the interesting and lucrative events no more stand and walk to less lucrative events are mothballed, rotten or sold abroad, if not overworked and how new a new life can begin.

Es besteht also großer Bedarf an Verbesserungen in einem bereits weit entwickelten Technikfeld.It is therefore great Need for improvement in an already well-developed technology field.

Wenn sich jetzt ein Schausteller mit einem Riesenrad gem. der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung bewirbt, wird hoffentlich er den begehrten Standplatz bekommen, und sich somit auf dem Markt durchsetzen.If now a showman with a Ferris wheel gem. the present Patent application, hopefully he will get the coveted stand, and thus prevail in the market.

Zudem erschließt sich so für die Schausteller ein ganz weiter Markt im Bereich der Werbung, bei dem zusätzlichen Einnahmemöglichkeiten winken.moreover opens so for yourself the showmen a very wide advertising market in which additional revenue opportunities waving.

Lösung:Solution:

Die erfindungsgemäße Verbesserung besteht darin, dass sich das Riesenrad nicht wie bisher in einer Radnarbe dreht, sondern dass sich nur ein Aussenrad dreht, dass einen relativ großen Innendurchmesser haben kann.The inventive improvement is that the Ferris wheel is not as before in a Radnarbe rotates, but that only one outer wheel turns, that a relatively large one Inner diameter may have.

Im Inneren kann sich wiederum ein Rad befinden, das sich gegenläufig oder unabhängig vom Außenrad dreht, was optisch sehr schön anzusehen wäre.in the Inside, in turn, may be a wheel that runs in opposite directions or independently from the outside wheel turns, which looks very nice would be considered.

Insbesondere aber kann der Innenteil des Rades feststehend gebaut sein und relativ große Öffnungen besitzen. Dies ermöglicht es, durch das Rad durchzusehen, durchzufahren, zu gehen oder zu fliegen oder Bauwerke hindurchzubauen bzw. bestehende Bauwerke zu umbauen.Especially but the inner part of the wheel can be built fixed and relative big openings have. this makes possible to look through it, to go through it, to go or to go fly through or build structures or existing buildings remodel.

Insbesondere dürfte die Verwendung als (Eingangs-)Tor sinnvoll sein, wobei eine Brücke durch das Rad hindurch führt oder ein Teil des Fahrgeschäftes in einem unterirdischen- oder Unterwassertunnel verläuft.Especially might the use as (entrance) gate be meaningful, with a bridge through the wheel leads through or part of the ride in an underground or underwater tunnel.

Es können also auch Plätze bebaut werden, die vorher nicht bebaut wurden, und/oder es können mehrere Fahrgeschäfte auf dem gleichen Standplatz untergebracht werden, die dann durch das Riesenrad hindurchführen.It can so also places that have not been developed before, and / or several rides be accommodated on the same stand, then through pass the Ferris wheel.

Das Innenteil braucht eben nicht rund zu sein. Im Extremfall würde eine Kontaktstelle mit dem Außenrad ausreichen.The Inner part just does not need to be round. In the extreme case, one would Contact point with the outer wheel suffice.

Besonders interssant ist, das Rad so zu konstruieren, dass es die Form eines Firmenzeichens bildet.Especially is interesting to construct the wheel so that it takes the form of a Logo.

Für die Nutzung als Firmenzeichen ist eine gewisse Höhe der Zeichenunterkante sinnvoll, damit das Zeichen nicht durch andere Gebäude verdeckt wird.For the use as a logo, a certain height of the bottom of the character makes sense so that the sign is not obscured by other buildings.

Für die Nutzung als Fahrgeschäft jedoch ist es sinnvoll, den Einstieg möglichst bodennah zu gestalten, damit die Fahrgäste nicht weit hochlaufen müssen.For the use as a ride However, it makes sense to make the entry as close to the ground as possible, so that the passengers do not have to run up far.

Die Erfindung schlägt hierzu folgende Lösungen vor:

1. Konstruktion eines unrunden Aussenrades, dass in seiner Form vom Dekorad abweichen kann.
2. Konstruktion des Gondellaufs derart, dass diese das eigentliche Rad verlassen können, insbesondere Zwecks Bahnhofeinfahrt.
3. Da eine Riesenradfahrt üblicherweise mehrere Runden dauert, insbesondere in Kombination mit Weichen, die sowohl eine Bahnhofdurch- als auch Umfahrt ermöglichen.

The invention proposes the following solutions:

1. Construction of a non-circular outer wheel that may differ in shape from the Dekorad.
2. Construction of the gondola so that they can leave the actual wheel, especially purpose of the station entrance.
3. As a Riesenradfahrt usually takes several laps, especially in combination with switches that allow both a Bahnhofdurch- and Umfahrt.

Die Kombination mit Weichen ermöglicht auch eine Kombination mit anderen Fahrtelementen, z. B. als Aufzug für eine (Achter-)Bahn oder als Zwischenrad in einer Bahn.The Combination with switches also allows a combination with other driving elements, eg. B. as a lift for a (eights) train or as an intermediate wheel in a train.

Die Konstruktion ermöglicht es, das Fahrgeschäft als Basis für ein weiteres Fahrgeschäft zu verwenden, insbesondere für eine Seilbahn, einen Seilgebundenen Freiflug bzw. für eine Besucherplattform.The construction makes it possible to use the ride as a basis for another ride apply, in particular for a cable car, a cable-bound free flight or for a visitor platform.

Ein besonderer Reiz ist eine kipp- oder drehbare Lagerung des Fahrgeschäftes. Das Fahrgeschäft kann auch (teilweise) unterirdisch, im Dunkeln als so genannter Darkride fahren bzw. faszinierende Unterwasserblicke ermöglichen.One special attraction is a tilting or rotatable storage of the ride. The ride can also be (partly) underground, in the dark as so-called Darkride drive or allow fascinating underwater views.

Denkbar ist auch die Kombination mehrerer Riesenräder, z. B. einem großen und einem kleinen (Kinder-)Riesenrad.Conceivable is also the combination of several giant wheels, z. B. a large and a small (child) Ferris wheel.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Erweiterung besteht im Verschachteln mehrerer derartiger Komponenten, etwa für ein Audi- oder Olympiazeichen.A inventive extension consists of interleaving several such components, such as an audio or Olympic sign.

Hierbei sollte die Farbe der (Innen-)Beleuchtung an die Farbwechsel des Zeichens angepasst werden.in this connection The color of the (interior) lighting should change the color of the Character to be adapted.

Je nach Ausgestaltung können die Gondeln so ausgebildet werden, dass die Fahrgäste die Drehung steuern können aller auch mit einer automatischen Drehung, die z. B. an die Pendelbewegung der Gondel gekoppelt ist.ever according to embodiment the gondolas are designed so that the passengers the Can control rotation all with an automatic rotation, the z. B. to the pendulum motion the gondola is coupled.

Die Gondeln können thematisch an die Firma angepasst werden, z. B. in Form eines Autos. Der Einbau von Lautsprechern, Bildschirmen sowie die Aromatisierung mit Gerüchen kann ein Multimediales Erlebnis abrunden.The Gondolas can thematically adapted to the company, z. In the form of a car. The installation of speakers, screens and the aromatization with odors can round off a multimedia experience.

Selbstverständlich kann es sich hierbei auch um ein Fahrgeschäft mit nur einer Gondel handeln.Of course you can this is also a ride with only one gondola.

Hier kann der Fahrweg auch so gewählt werden, dass die Gondeln möglichst alle Punkte der Symbolik abfahren, das Symbol nur umfahren (sinnvoll z. B. bei einem Ford-Zeichen), oder aber nur ein Teil des Zeichens als Fahrgeschäft ausgebaut ist, und der Rest anders, z. B. als Deko ausgestaltet ist.Here the track can also be chosen like this be that gondolas as possible drive off all points of the symbolism, just bypass the symbol (meaningful z. For example, a Ford sign), or only part of the sign as a ride is expanded, and the rest differently, z. B. designed as a decoration is.

Eine besondere Laufruhe wird durch gummibereifte Räder erreicht, die auch so ausgestaltet werden können, dass sie die Fahrbahn mehrseitig umfahren. Die Gondeln können zur einfacheren Führung auf Schienen bewegt werden.A Very smooth running is achieved by rubber-tired wheels, which are also designed can be that they bypass the carriageway on several sides. The gondolas can for easier guidance to be moved on rails.

Als Hochrundfahrgeschäft sollen hier insbesondere auch nicht Rad- bzw. kreisförmige Geschäfte bezeichnet werden.When High-go-round should not be referred to here in particular wheel or circular shops become.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Variante besteht in der Konstruktion eines Dekoelements, dass ans Fahrgeschäft montiert entweder die beschriebenen Effekte nachahmt, oder eine eigene Werbefläche darstellt.A variant according to the invention consists in the construction of a decorative element that mounted to the ride either mimics the effects described or represents a separate advertising space.

Dieses Element kann auch zur Verdeckung eines anderen Zeichens dienen, was die Weiterverwendbarkeit eines solchen Geschäftes auch für andere Werbungen sichert. Eine der Erfindung wesentlich zugrundeliegenden Idee ist die Werbung für Nichtschausteller sowie die Erweiterung des Kundenkreises der Riesenradhersteller über die Schausteller hinaus auf Werbetreibende, auf Betreiber von Technikmuseen, oder auf Betreiber von Erlebniswelten wie z. B. die Wolfsburger Motorcity, auf Beschicker und Veranstalter von Werbeveranstaltungen wie Tage der offenen Tür bei Auto-Vertragshändlern.This Element can also serve to hide another character which ensures the reusability of such a shop for other commercials. One of the invention essentially underlying idea is advertising for non-showers as well as the extension of the circle of customers of the ferris wheel manufacturers over the Showmen out to advertisers, to operators of technology museums, or on operators of adventure worlds such. B. the Wolfsburg Motorcity, on feeder and organizer of promotional events like open house days at auto dealers.

Während die Anmeldung hauptsächlich große Ausführungen beschreibt, sind für Letztere hauptsächlich Klein- und Kleinstausführungen von Interesse, die z. B. von einer oder zwei Personen aufgebaut und betrieben werden können. Ein erfindungsgemäßes Fahrgeschäft kann sowohl feststehend als auch in einer mobilen Ausführung gebaut werden.While the Registration mainly size versions describes are for The latter mainly Small and very small versions of interest, the z. B. constructed by one or two people and can be operated. An inventive ride can both fixed and built in a mobile version become.

Selbstverständlich soll sich der Patentschutz auch auf Modelle, Spielzeug und Miniaturen erstrecken.Of course it should patent protection also applies to models, toys and miniatures extend.

Somit liegt ein Schwerpunkt der Erfindung in der kommerziellen Werbung und stellt dadurch eine Weiterentwicklung der nach dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannten Möglichkeit dar, lediglich das eigene Betreiberzeichen oder nur der Verzierung dienende Dekoelemente relativ klein wiederzugeben.Consequently one focus of the invention is commercial advertising and thereby represents a further development of the state of the Technique already known possibility only the own operator sign or only the decoration rendering serving decorative elements relatively small.

Sinnvoll ist eine Konstruktion dergestalt, dass der radähnliche Teil ganz ohne Speichen auskommt. Dies kann insbesondere dadurch erreicht werden, dass er nur im unteren Teil gelagert wird und ansonsten frei steht, dass eine Stützkonstruktion gebaut wird, die vorzugsweise von der Deko oder dem eigentlichen radähnlichen Gebilde verdeckt wird bzw. Teil des Zeichens ist und/oder dadurch, dass der radähnliche Teil aufgehangen wird.meaningful is a construction in such a way that the wheel-like part without spokes gets along. This can be achieved in particular by the fact that he is stored only in the lower part and otherwise is free that a support structure is built, preferably by the decoration or the actual wheel-like Is obscured or part of the sign and / or that the wheel-like Part is hung.

Besonders flexibel ist man, wenn die tragenden Teile veränderbar ausgeführt werden.Especially one is flexible when the load-bearing parts are made changeable.

Vorteil dieser Konstruktionen ist, dass das Fahrgeschäft so veränderlich für verschiedene Zeichen eingesetzt werden kann, also z. B. heute für Mercedes, morgen für VW, übermorgen für Opel, später für BMW, andermal fürs Aufhängen von Großplakaten.advantage Of these constructions is that the ride is used so changeable for different signs can be, so z. B. today for Mercedes, tomorrow for VW, the day after tomorrow for Opel, later for BMW, other times for hanging from Billboards.
