Definitions

  • the invention has the purpose of creating a device for generating surface waves of flexible material layers - hereinafter referred to as the wave path - which makes it possible to roll or slide downhill as long as desired without interruption.
  • the wave track according to the invention is essentially characterized by a blanket made of flexible material, of which some sections are pressed upwards by one or more undercarriages traveling underneath, the blanket not being moved.
  • the ceiling forms progressive surface waves, the shape of which is determined by the shape of the upper parts of the chassis and by their mutual distances. The speed of the surface waves is therefore determined by the speed of the chassis.
  • rollers arranged in between.
  • the drawing shows schematically a side view of a chassis 3 rolling under the ceiling 1 on wheels 2.
  • Rollers 4 are arranged on the upper parts of the chassis part such that the parts of the ceiling pushed up by the chassis rest only on rollers.
  • the ceiling is conveniently anchored to the floor or other immovable objects.
  • the ceiling can be laid along any route. It is advisable to have a closed, i.e. endless, route, because you can surf on it for as long as you like without interruption.
  • the chassis the number of which depends on the total length of the ceiling, are guided along the route in one of the usual ways, e.g. on rails, and powered, e.g. with electrical energy. It is advantageous to connect the chassis to one another, since they expediently all travel at the same speed, and the mutual distances remain the same.
  • the design of the blanket depends on whether a wave track is set up for rolling or sliding wave riding.
  • the surface of the top of a wave track for rolling surfing is made of flexible material, which results in low rolling friction and at the same time the highest possible static and sliding friction for the rollers of roller skates and other rolling driving devices, e.g. Hard rubber.
  • a gliding layer made of a material, for example snow or water, on which skis, surfboards or other gliding devices can glide easily.
  • the ceiling in this embodiment forms boundary walls at its edges, which prevent the water from flowing off to the side or the snow from slipping off the ceiling.
  • water If water is used as a sliding layer, the water collects between the wave crests when the wave path stops. With the chassis running at an appropriate speed, however, the water is distributed evenly over all parts of the ceiling.
  • the wave track can be completely or partially immersed in water, the chassis being guided in a watertight, air-filled tunnel, the upper part of which is flexible.
  • This version has the advantage in the vicinity of larger waters that there is always a large amount of pure water available and that there the wave track can be combined relatively easily with beach pools and other facilities for water sports.

Abstract

Des zones d'une couverture (1) en matiere flexible s'etendant sur un trace sans fin sont soulevees chacune par un chariot (3) circulant au-dessous de la couverture, laquelle n'est pas deplacee. De cette facon, la couverture forme des ondes progressives sur lesquelles on peut se deplacer sans interruption aussi longtemps que l'on veut, c'est-a-dire, a) rouler en devalant la pente-avant de l'ondulation, par exemple sur des patins a roulettes ou sur une planche a roulettes, ou b) glisser, par exemple sur des skis ou sur une planche pour surf, au cas ou la couverture est revetue d'une couche glissante constituee de neige ou d'eau.
