Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a water chute provided in a recreational pool or the like.

(Prior Art) A water chute is generally an elongated cylindrical body formed by notching a part of the side wall along the generatrix, and slanting the body so that the notch is located on the upper side, so that water constantly flows through the inner bottom surface. This is a play equipment that increases the slipperiness and allows people to slide inside, but because the coefficient of friction on the inner surface is quite low, it is easy to get too fast or roll, and in such cases It was easy for people to hit their bodies against the inside, which posed a safety problem.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a water chute with high safety.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) The water chute according to the present invention is provided with cushions at appropriate positions on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls, and when a person gliding touches the cushions, the speed can be controlled and rolling can be prevented. In addition, it was designed to serve as a protective wall.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an illustrated example. Fig. 1 shows the structure of one constituent unit of the water chute of the invention, and Fig. 2 shows a cross section of its connection part. ing. Reference numeral 1 indicates a bottom wall made of, for example, FRP and has a semicircular cross section, and 2 and 3 are arc-shaped left and right side walls made of, for example, FRP. They are joined together with bolts in the directions to form an elongated substantially cylindrical body having an upper notch 4 along the generatrix direction. 5
is a support leg whose upper end is fixed to the above-mentioned joint with bolts and nuts through the pad 6, and whose lower end is fixed to a base (not shown), and whose middle part is screwed and connected to the support leg in the vertical direction. The length is adjustable. 7 and 8 are cushions.
This device reduces the speed of people skating on the water chute, suppresses rolling, and ensures safety. That is, cushion 7,
8 is attached at a position where an arm or the like can be pressed while skating, or at a position where a part of the runner's body comes into contact when the runner rolls beyond a certain level. Therefore, this device is attached to appropriate positions on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the substantially cylindrical body, either continuously or at appropriate intervals along the longitudinal direction of the side walls. Of course, considering its intended use,
Needless to say, it is formed using a material that has slightly higher frictional resistance than the inner surface of the side wall and has cushioning properties. Reference numeral 9 denotes a water discharge pipe provided above the notch of the substantially cylindrical body. and,
The entire water chute is constructed by arranging these at an angle at a desired location.

Since the water chute according to the present invention is constructed as described above, if water is discharged from the water discharge pipe 9 and water is constantly flowed on the inner bottom surface of the approximately cylindrical body to improve the slipperiness, a person can enter the interior and slide. However, since the cushions 7 and 8 are provided at appropriate locations on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the substantially cylindrical body, the runner can press both arms against the cushions 7 and 8. This creates a frictional force that allows you to control the sliding speed and prevent rolling. Furthermore, even if the runner's body is about to hit the inner surface of the substantially cylindrical body, there is no risk of injury because the cushions 7 and 8 serve as a protective wall. As described above, the proposed water shoot is extremely safe.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the water chute according to the invention has the practically important advantage of extremely high safety.
