Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circular ride with a structure arranged above a base frame, which can be rotated and driven about a central axis perpendicular to its main plane, and on the circumference of which a plurality of passenger carriers is freely rotatable about swivel axes, the swivel axes on the structure being inclined to the central axis are arranged and enclose an acute angle with it, the center of gravity of each passenger carrier in the empty and occupied condition is at a distance from the associated pivot axis and the structure can be tilted relative to the base frame into an inclined position.
  • the supporting structure is arranged with its central axis at the free end of an arm pivotably articulated on the base frame and a swivel mechanism attached to the base frame engages the arm, and that the supporting structure can be tilted together with the arm by means of the erecting mechanism by an angle with respect to the horizontal which is greater than the angle of inclination of the passenger carrier pivot axes with respect to the central axis.
  • the inclination of floor disks and satellite crosses while driving carousels is known per se.
  • the base plate of a carousel with passenger gondolas mounted in an oscillating manner tangentially on the circumference of the base plate is pivoted up about a tilting axis likewise tangential to the base plate, with the aid of an erection mechanism arranged between the base plate and the base frame.
  • DE-U 1 956 873 provides an eccentric device in the region of the central axis for periodically swiveling up and tilting a plurality of satellite disks or crosses with passenger carriers fixedly arranged thereon.
  • the base frame 1 of the roundabout business shown in FIG. 1 is designed as a carriage with a chassis 2.
  • a rocker arm 4 is pivotally connected to the base frame 1 about an axis 3. He wears at its free end, the support of a supporting structure in the form of the base plate 5, which is rotatable about the central axis 6 and can be driven with the aid of a motor 7 (not shown).
  • a plurality of passenger carriers 8 are arranged, as shown in FIG. 2 on their circumference, and can be pivoted freely about pivot axes 9, which are inclined toward the central axis 6 in the manner shown.
  • the seats 10 are arranged on the passenger carrier 8 on one side to the pivot axis 9, so that the center of gravity of the passenger carrier 8 is at a distance from the pivot axis 9 in the occupied and unoccupied state. This distance forms the lever arm of the torque, which acts on the passenger carrier 8 when the base plate 5 rotates about the central axis 6 and pivots it out of its rest position, drawn with solid lines, into a dynamic position shown in broken lines.
  • an erection mechanism in the form of a hydraulic cylinder 11 which, when actuated, swivels the rocker arm 4 and thus the base plate 5 about the axis into the erection position shown with somewhat thinner lines.
  • the position which the extended cylinder 11 then assumes with its piston rod is indicated by dash-dotted lines.
  • Fig. 1 also shows that even in the lowered starting position of the roundabout, the main plane of the base plate 5 is not completely horizontal, but already has a certain inclined position.
  • the stationary pedestal of the circular shop and its other components are adapted accordingly, which shows the drawing in a schematic representation.
  • Fig. 3 shows - also schematically and only in detail - the central structure 20 of a ride known as "Polyp", “Octopus” or “Monster” with a plurality of cantilever arms 22 (only one is shown in the drawing), which around the central axis 21 is arranged in a star shape on the circumference of the central structure 20 and rotate with the rotatable and drivable part of the central structure 20 about the central axis 21 during operation. They pivot about axes 23, which are tangential to the central axis 21, under the action of an eccentric device 24 with tie rods 25 of known construction.
  • each satellite cross 5a corresponds to the base plate 5 in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1. Therefore, according to FIG. 3, seat supports 8 are also freely pivotable on the circumference of each satellite cross 5a about inwardly inclined axes 9, and not only the two passenger carriers 8 shown in FIG. 3 (on each satellite cross 5a), but their several, for example four.
  • the satellite cross 5a of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 assumes an inclined position corresponding to the upright position of the base plate 5 according to FIG. 1.
  • the housing 33 of the passenger carrier 8 have the shape of a spherical section which is penetrated by a circular ring cutout 30, the center point 34 of which is just outside the spherical circumference in the example shown .
  • the passenger seats 10 are arranged tangentially to this circular ring section 30; for this reason at an angle to each other. Restraint bars 31 and a railing 32 serve to ensure the safety of the passengers when getting on and off or when operating the tour business.
  • FIG. 5 shows - just as schematically as the other drawing figures - a circular ride similar to the embodiment in FIG. 3 but modified.
  • a central structure 20 rotatable about the central axis 21 is arranged, from the upper end of which arms 22 extend radially outward.
  • the brackets 22 are divided in this embodiment and each consist of a support arm 22a rigidly connected to the central structure 20, on which (radially outward) a pivot arm 22b is pivoted about the axis 22c tangential to the central axis 21.
  • the tie rods 25 ' are articulated on the one hand at 22d on the swivel arms 22b, on the other hand on the eccentric device 24', namely their driving ring 40; the latter is described in more detail below.
  • supporting structures in the form of satellite crosses 5a are arranged rotatably about their central axis 6a at the free ends of the swivel arms 22b.
  • the electromotive drive 7a is only indicated here in the form of the hub of the satellite cross 5a.
  • the arms 5b of the satellite cross 5a end in support pieces 5c for the pivot axes 9, about which the passenger carriers 8 (different design than before) are rotatably attached by means of support arms 8a and hubs 8b in turn fastened thereon.
  • the inclination of the axes 9 with respect to the main plane of the satellite cross 5a, on the basis of which the pivot axes 9, as it were, enclose acute angles with the top of the arms 5b, can be clearly seen in the drawing.
