Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an installation for amusement park, installation called roller coaster.
  • roller coasters share some essential characteristics that make these facilities a separate species, a type.
  • roller coaster circuits are not long rectilinear slides, they have on the contrary plots with sequences of various acrobatics, varied and more or less daring. These lines impress passengers with accelerations that are just as diverse and varied as the figures and that can go momentarily up to several g.
  • roller coasters the purpose of roller coasters is not to carry or take passengers for pleasure.
  • the ingredient, of course subjective, that is the real purpose of roller coasters, is to give something to the passengers, to offer them an experience and sensations that are out of the ordinary.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to propose a roller coaster, offering all the usual figures in a usual comfort and safety, but in which each passenger has, from the point of view of his emotions, on the one hand the the feeling of sitting astride the pad of a speeding railway car and the ominous vision of the near, vertiginous parade of rails and sleepers beneath him just beneath him.
  • roller coasters we know two big categories of roller coasters, those who roll on the rails and those who ride below, roller coasters suspended.
  • the installation belongs by necessity to the category of roller coasters that roll on the rails. If, as desired, inspired by a vision of nightmare, the passenger must see under it rails and sleepers, nothing must intervene between the passenger and the rails, in other words, there must not be floor.
  • a subcategory of suspended roller coasters already has the distinction of having no wall or floor around passengers.
  • An example is given in European Patent EP 0545860.
  • the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers takes place in a station, a station.
  • the suspended roller coaster without floor when the train arrives at the station, the distance between the feet of the passengers and the ground decreases gradually, in the manner of the arrival area of a chairlift.
  • the train stops, if necessary cylinders raise the ground plan by a few centimeters, and the passengers disembark to leave room for those who embark. There is no need for flooring, it is the floor (or what takes its place) that plays this role.
  • the vehicle comprises a main beam, at least one transverse frame on which are mounted on the one hand wheels cooperating with the rails and on the other hand seats provided with means of restraint, and nothing else, especially no floor.
  • the retractable floor and its control means, deployment and retraction are integral with the station, respectively its dock.
  • the vehicle is properly reduced to its simplest expression. It comprises in fact only a central beam 1, transverse frames 2, on which are mounted three by three six pairs of wheels 3, 4 and 5 which surround as usual rails 6 on three sides. Seats 7 are mounted on the transverse frames and have their conventional retaining means 8. That's all.
  • Figure 3 shows which foreign element it is going to be.
  • the rails 6 are also fixed on the rail supports 10.
  • the installation is generally aerial, that is to say at a certain distance from the ground.
  • the rails 6 are supported by supports 10, themselves carried by a beam 11.
  • This beam may be metallic, of any shape, or concrete, also of any shape. This beam rests on columns that are not drawn.
  • At the station there is at least one dock, but more generally two 12, terminated, if necessary, by a metal section 13.
  • Figure 3 also shows what constitutes the complement of the vehicle that is to say a retractable floor.
  • This retractable floor is not part of the vehicle, but is attached to the fixed part of the installation and this is its greatest originality.
  • the actual floor 14 is made of sheet metal and is pivotally attached to a set of hydraulic cylinders 15 bearing pivotally on the carrier beam 11.
  • the set of jacks is here organized so as to combine two movements that allow the floor to span the rail, mainly by a rotational movement, and then once the crossed rail to come to take its horizontal position, mainly by a linear extension movement.
  • the left part of the drawing shows the floor in its retracted position and the right part shows the floor in its blocking position in embarkation disembarkation configuration.
  • the operation of the two parts (right and left of the vehicle) of the retractable floor is obviously symmetrical, the sets of jacks working together.
  • the sheet which constitutes the actual surface of the floor is shaped so as to best fit the contour of the transverse frames, also taking into account the shape of the wheels and stirrups that carry them; in short his drawing is made so as to reconstitute the floor of the vehicle leaving as little gaps as possible.
  • Figure 3 shows what is the preferred variant, probably the most sophisticated. However, at least two other variants can be used.
  • the retractable floor can be realized in the form of a succession of drawers recessed in the dock and deploying under the action of jacks when the vehicle is in position.
  • a succession of telescopic pontoons also housed in the dock and deploying the same way.
  • the variant shown in the drawing in Figure 3 remains the preferred because it allows greater freedom in the outline of the sheet forming the floor and thus minimizes the interstices between the floor and the vehicle .
  • roller coaster The advantages of the roller coaster according to the invention are first of all to achieve the purpose described above, that is to say, to offer passengers a lot of emotions as strong as unpublished. While we can not please everyone at the same time and those who are already doing violence to ride in a conventional roller coaster may be frightened, but those who are really looking for the emotion and fun of the particular roller coaster will access at an intensity never offered by any installation and will not be disappointed.
