Definitions

  • the invention relates to an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable support is mounted for holding arranged on the carrier in gondolas rows of seats, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • gondolas In a variety of amusement devices for use at fairs and the like, passengers are taken for a ride in gondolas, which are moved more or less quickly in the vertical direction with the amusement device.
  • the movement can be linear or circular.
  • a circular movement is used in particular on giant wheels, with a plurality of gondolas attached to a rotating wheel.
  • the gondolas of the Ferris wheel are pivotally mounted on the periphery of the wheel. In some giant wheels, they can also be rotated in a horizontal plane. When the ferris wheel stops, one or more gondolas located on the platform at the bottom can be loaded and unloaded.
  • seats are located at both ends of a support beam, which can be moved by proper movement of the passengers or is also moved by a motor.
  • the loading and unloading takes place in this version in a state in which a nacelle is located in the lower area on a platform.
  • the carrier is to be mechanically fixed.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, an amusement device with gondolas with cardan suspension in such a way that at least two corresponding gondolas can be operated simultaneously and these can be alternately loaded and unloaded, the energy required to operate the amusement machine is minimized and the playing time of the amusement device per unit of time can be increased.
  • the invention is based on an amusement device with a base on which at least one pivotable or rotatable support is mounted for supporting gondolas arranged rows of seats, the gondolas are movable on the support with respect to the base at least in the vertical direction and the rows of seats in the nacelle are rotatable or pivotable in at least two mutually perpendicular planes.
  • the carrier comprises at least two gondolas, which are formed by gimbals interlocking frame, whereby the rows of seats in the gondola are gimbal movable in three mutually perpendicular planes.
  • While one of the gondolas can be loaded and unloaded in its initial position, further gondolas attached to the carrier can continue to be operated in a predefined driving program.
  • Such an amusement device has the advantage that a great entertainment effect can be achieved by the special design of the gondolas in the form of a gimbal of the seats and on the other hand, the operator of the amusement device can achieve a high passenger throughput.
  • the energy required to operate the amusement device is relatively low.
  • the space requirement for the amusement device is relatively small.
  • the carrier of the amusement device is preferably an angled or arcuate curved to the base support beam, which is mounted in the central region on the base and is provided at its upwardly directed ends, each with a nacelle.
  • the carrier has a gondola at each end.
  • the carrier is attached to the base via a pivot joint. With increased storage of the carrier relative to the base, relatively high heights can be achieved in the movement of the carrier at the ends.
  • the movement control of the gondolas or arranged in the gondolas rows of seats is preferably motorized.
  • the up and down movement of the ends of the carrier are motorized, z. B. electric motor, hydraulic or pneumatic.
  • the movements of the carrier and the gondolas can be matched in the speed of movement and the movement patterns.
  • the carrier instead of a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, can also be displaced along an arcuate guideway between the carrier and the base, so that the ends of the carrier can reach high heights in this way as well.
  • the carrier is designed as a carrying wheel, which is rotatably mounted about a central rotation axis connected to the base, wherein the support wheel includes at least two gondolas on the periphery.
  • the rows of seats in the gondola are also gimballed.
  • two carriers arranged in parallel can also be used, each of which has a nacelle at its ends, so that only one of the nacelles for loading and unloading has to be lowered during operation of the amusement device, while the carrier not to be loaded continues to operate and the gondola opposite the loading or unloading nacelle can remain at a high altitude.
  • each of the two carriers can have only one gondola at one end, while the opposite end of the carrier is provided with a counterweight, which instead of a second nacelle on a carrier in this way a weight balance can be made during operation ,
  • the cardanically interconnected frame of the gondolas are preferably rectangular, oval or circular.
  • an outer frame is rotatably supported on two arms of the respective carrier, while the rows of seats are secured to an inner frame.
  • An intermediate frame gimbals the outer and inner frames together.
  • the rows of seats are attached to both sides of a leg of the inner frame.
  • the rows of seats can also be attached to two opposite legs of the inner frame, so as to be able to produce a better weight balance.
  • suitable options for loading and unloading the seats must be provided on the platform, which are easier to produce when loading or unloading only one leg with vertical inner frame.

  • the carrier 2 is shown arcuate, it may also be obtuse or even rectilinear, with an arcuate or angled shape being preferred for obtaining large end heights when the opposite end is lowered.
  • the bearing 9 is located on the base 1 on a raised frame 11, so that the ends of the arcuate support 2 can each be pivoted sufficiently far down to the gondolas 3 or 8 to enter or leave.
  • the gondolas 3 and 8 are arranged on the end side on the carrier 2 and consist of three nested frames, which are mounted at right angles to each other.
  • the outer frame 7 is mounted in a bearing 12.
  • the intermediate frame 6 is mounted with its bearing axis at right angles to the bearing axis 12 in the outer frame 7.
  • Inside the intermediate frame 6, the inner frame 5 is mounted on the bearing 13 with respect to the intermediate frame 6.
  • the arrangement of the bearings 12, 13, 14 of the interlocking frame 5, 6, 7 results in a gimbal bearing, so that the inner frame 5 is movable in mutually perpendicular planes.
  • the movement is preferably motorized according to a preselected control program.
  • the inner frame 5 has on the free leg 15 two parallel rows of seats 4, wherein the individual seats of the rows of seats are mounted on both sides of the leg.
  • the opposite leg 16 of the inner frame 5 may have a counterweight.
  • the leg 16 can also accommodate rows of seats when the loading and unloading of the rows of seats on the platform can be suitably ensured.
  • the legs 15 and 16 should be rotatable relative to the inner frame 5 in order to be able to hold the rows of seats during loading and unloading in an upright position.
  • the gondolas formed from the frames 5, 6, 7 are preferably rectangular in shape, but they can also be other shapes, such as oval or circular, be designed.
  • the carrier 2 For loading and unloading a nacelle, the carrier 2 is lowered at one end so far that the leg of the inner frame that carries the rows of seats can be shut down to the base 1. After loading the rows of seats, the corresponding end of the carrier 2 can be raised again while the opposite end of the carrier is lowered.
