Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toothache device that is used by passengers in rides, tocoasters, somersault coasters 1, or other amusement rides that move on tracks or in the air, installed in amusement parks and the like.

Recently, an amusement ride called a standing loop coaster has been developed by the present applicant. This ride is an epoch-making coaster unlike any other in the world, where passengers are literally held in a standing position on the ride itself, and the ride descends, turns, and somersaults along the track. Compared to coasters that run with passengers seated, such as somersault coasters, the center of gravity of the passengers is higher and more unstable, and their line of sight is higher, so the sense of safety and force is greatly amplified and the coaster is more stable. The real thrill of - is enhanced even more.

By the way, with this glazed Stan f-ing roof coaster, it is needless to say that it is necessary to ensure the safety of the passengers while traveling more than ever before, but the purpose of simply supporting the passengers safely is to ensure the safety of the passengers. If the passenger is completely immobilized in a standing position [l], or surrounded by passengers, the sense of realism and thrill will be halved, and the real pleasure of the coaster will be lost. It is my hope that a certain station device could be developed that would allow us to enjoy even more thrills and pleasures.

The present invention was created based on these circumstances.
The purpose of this is to create an amusement vehicle in which the feet of the passenger's feet sway in a three-dimensional manner while the vehicle is in motion, allowing the passenger to fully enjoy the thrill, pleasure, and presence of the vehicle. The purpose is to provide a seat device.

That is, in the present invention, a rocking elastic body is interposed between the passenger seat where a passenger enters and the vehicle body, and this certain local part is made to be able to swing freely relative to the vehicle body in response to changes in the acceleration of the vehicle body. hand,
The above objective is achieved by swinging back and forth, left and right, and up and down.

An embodiment of the present invention is based on a concave surface applied to a standing loop coaster.

In the figure, 1 is the track of the coaster, and 2 is a chassis base as the main body of the vehicle.A plurality of chassis bases 2 are formed, and bogies are installed at the front and rear ends.・It is movably mounted on the track I via the tl. On the upper surface of the chassis base 2, floor plates 4, 4, on which the passenger A gets on, are arranged at two positions separated from each other on the left and right, and these floor plates 4, 4 are in the shape of a flat plate. A plurality of rocking elastic bodies, for example air springs 5, are interposed between the floor plates 4, 4 and the chassis base 2. The air springs 5... elastically support the floor plates 4, 4 with respect to the chassis base 2 so as to be able to swing freely in any direction, front and back, left and right, and up and down.
moves in a three-dimensional manner independently of the chassis base 2. Second, the degree of movement of the floor plates 4, 4 is determined by the number and position of the air springs 5 themselves. Incidentally, foot presses 6.degree. 6 are fixed on the floorboards 4, 4 for positioning the legs of the passengers.

Two pillars 7.7 are vertically fixed on the upper surface of the chassis base 2 via brackets 8, 8, respectively.
These pillars 7, 7 are guided out onto the floor plates 4, 4 by loosely inserting them into through holes 9, 9, which are opened approximately in the middle of the floor plates 4,4. The pillars 7, 7 have a rectangular cross section, and an unloading body lθ is fitted into the outer periphery of the pillars so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. One end of a hydraulic lock ring 11 is pivotally supported on each of the notebook rackets 8, 8. Hydraulic port, Tsuku cylinder 1 is connected to support 7,
7, and the upper end of the piston rod 12 is connected to the unloading body 10 via the bracket 13.
is connected to. The hydraulic lock cylinder 11 of this embodiment is as schematically shown in FIG.
The interior is divided into two chambers, a first chamber 15 and a second chamber 16, by a piston 14 connected to a piston rod 12, and these first and second chambers 15 and 16 are connected to a piping 17.
They are connected to each other by. A solenoid valve 18 is incorporated in the VC midway through the pipe 17, and the first chamber 15
A tank 19 is installed between the second chamber 16 and the solenoid valve 18, and a tank 11Cl', 1' is installed between the second chamber 16 and the solenoid valve 18.
-Install the cue simulator 20.

Therefore, when the electromagnetic valve 18 is opened, the flute 1 chamber 15 and the second chamber 16 are connected to each other by 5 m1, and the piston opening and door 12 can be freely protruded and retracted. When the solenoid valve 18 is closed, the oil flow between the upper and lower cylinders is cut off, and the piston rod 12 is locked. The elevating body 10 is moved up and down by the operation of the hydraulic port and the comb ring 11, and the vertical position is adjusted according to the height of the passenger A and fixed after the adjustment.

Brackets 21a, 21b and 22a, 22b are provided on both sides of the upper end of the elevating body 10 at two locations spaced apart from each other in the vertical direction and protrude to the left and right sides.
1&, 21b and 22&, 22b are provided with support mechanisms 23 for supporting passengers. This support mechanism 2. ?
is equipped with a pair of left and right arm loops 24.24, and these arm loops 24.24 include a back support portion 25a that contacts both sides of passenger A's back, and a shoulder support portion that is hung on both shoulders of passenger A. 2
5b, a chest support part 25C that holds the side part of the passenger A, and an armpit support part 25d that comes into contact with both sides of the passenger A, and each of these support parts 25a, 25b, 25c, and 2.
The part surrounded by 5d forms a space 26 for passing the arm through. The arm loop 24.24 is constructed by covering the core metal 27 with a cushioning material 28 such as soft rubber.
includes a pair of upper and lower support arms 29m, 29b and ? 0
．． a and 3θb protrude toward the rear.

These support arms 2911, 29b and 30&.

The tip of 30b pivots on the brackets 21a, 21b and 22a, 22b. 1, ,? 7, the arm loop 24.24 is rotatably supported via the pivot point 91, , ? It is attached so that it can be rotated to the left and right to open and close using 7 as a fulcrum.
The spacing can be adjusted depending on the size (especially chest circumference). Further, a grip 92 is provided on the front surface of the chest support portion 25a of the arm loop 24°24.

Further, the arm loops 24, 24 are connected to each other by an opening/closing interlocking mechanism 33. To explain this mechanism 33, numeral 34 is a rotating plate thereof, which is rotatably attached to the rear surface of the front end of the elevating body 10 via a pivot shaft 35 [7]. A link lever 36 is located at the vertical eccentric position of the rotating plate 34.
One end of the link lever 36 is connected, and these link levers 36,
,? The other end of the support arm 29 a , ? A rotary lever 37a is provided by extending the tip of the ob further rearward.

Connected to J 7 b. Therefore, when passenger A pulls the arm loops 24, 24 with both arms or pushes them outward, the rotating plate 34 rotates about the pivot shaft 35, and the arm loops 24, 24 rotate. They are designed to open and close in conjunction with each other. Further, a hydraulic lock cylinder 39 is vertically fixed to the upper end and side portion of the elevating body 10 via a bracket 38, and this piston rod 4θ
The upper end portion is connected to an eccentric position on one side of the rotating plate 34. This hydraulic lock cylinder 39 is not shown in detail, but like the hydraulic port for height adjustment and the cylinder 11,
By opening and closing the hydraulic line with a solenoid valve, the piston rod 40 can be switched between the open state and the free state in which it is capable of protruding and retracting, and when the solenoid valve is closed, the piston rod 40 is in the locked state. The opening/closing operation of the arm loops 24 and 24 is prevented.

Also, the hydraulic lock cylinder 11 for height adjustment in this embodiment
1 has not only a locking function for the elevating body 10 but also a buffering function. If the chassis base 2 suddenly descends or somersaults while the pawl is on the elevating body 10, excessive gravity will be applied to the arms. It is applied to the piston opening 12 via the through ring 24 and the elevating body 10. Then the second chamber 16
Since the oil pressure in the chamber 16 is high, the oil in the chamber 16 is forced into the accumulator 20, and the piston rod 12
falls and acts as a buffer against the gravity. At this time, the first chamber 1
5 is to suck the oil in the depa tank 19, which becomes a negative pressure (nTEI). When the gravity is released, the accumulated pressure of the accumulator 20 causes the piston rod 12 to
is pushed back to its original position, and as a result, the oil in the first chamber 15 is returned to the reservoir tank 19, returning to its initial full state.

Oh, the above hydraulic lock cylinder 11? 9 Although not shown, the chisel magnetic valve 18 is connected to the current collecting brush provided on the chassis base 2 and the l-r-'J- line along the track 1 on which the current collecting brush slides, and is connected to the platform via U7. It is electrically connected to a switch in the driver's cab, and opening and closing is controlled by turning this switch on and off.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

When the chassis stand 2 is on the platform and stopped, the switch is turned on by the operator in the cab.
Because of the hydraulic mouth.

The piston rod 12.degree. 40 of the comb ring 11.39 is free, so that the arm loop 24.24 is held rotatable between the faces and movable up and down. Once passenger A gets on the floor plate 4.4 which is elastically supported on the chassis base 2, the passenger A can move the arm loops 24° by grasping the arm loops 24 and 24 with his hands and pushing them up or down. 2
Adjust the position of 4 to the height according to your height, and place 2 in that space.
6. Pass both arms through the 26. Next, pull the arm loops 24 and 24 inward, and each support part 25a
25d to a predetermined position on the body, and further insert both legs into the fixed pressers 6, 6. After confirming that all passengers have completed this work, the operator turns off the switch to the hydraulic lock cylinder 11, , ?
9 solenoid valve 18 is closed. Then, the arm loop 24
．． 24 is positioned and held in a set position according to the height of passenger A, and is opened and closed so as not to be rotated to the left or right.

As a result, passenger A is held in a standing position on the floorboards 4, 4 facing Ai+. In this case, the floorboard 4,
4 is supported on the chassis base 2 via air springs 5..., so when the passenger A gets on board, the floor plate 4゜4 becomes the chassis base 2o... and the pillars erected on the chassis base 2. 7, it swings in arbitrary directions, front and back, left and right, and up and down, making passenger A's footing unstable. After this, the chassis platform 2 takes off, performs sharp turns, sudden l1iY descents, steep climbs, and even somersaults, and returns to Zoratbohm.

However, in the above-mentioned embodiment having such a structure, since the floor plate 4 is swingably supported, while the chassis base 2 is running,
The feet of the passenger move forward and backward, left and right, depending on changes in acceleration and the shift of the passenger's weight.

Swinging in any direction up and down, -19, yawing and OI
The foot becomes unstable due to three-dimensional movements such as ``jung''. Therefore, while traveling, a psychological effect similar to riding on skis or a surfing board is produced, providing a riding sensation that could not be experienced with conventional coasters. At the same time, you can fully enjoy the thrill and pleasure of steep descents, sudden turns, and somersaults, allowing you to fully enjoy the thrill of standing in a standing position.

In the above-described embodiment, the floor plate is flat, but it may also be shaped like a surfboard or a sailboat, or it may be shaped like two cedar trees on which both legs can be placed.

The twisted elastic body for swinging is not limited to an air spring, but may be a coil spring, and a fixed presser is not necessarily required, and the feet may be left free.

Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to standing loop coasters, such as Noette 7-Y, which simply move up and down on an orbit, scree coasters, which perform continuous somersaults, and other various amusement vehicles that move in the air. Furthermore, the riding position of the passenger is not limited to the standing position, but may be a seated position, and therefore, the mechanism for supporting the body is not limited to the above embodiment.

In the present invention described in detail above, a rocking elastic body is interposed between the passenger seat section where passengers board and the vehicle body, and this certain local part is provided to be swingable with respect to the vehicle body, so that the movement of the vehicle body is prevented. The feet of the middle passenger sway three-dimensionally, back and forth, left and right, and up and down depending on changes in acceleration (E, weight shift, etc.), making the feet unstable, making it look like skiing or surfing.
Not only does it give you a psychological effect as if you were riding on a horse, but it also gives you more thrills and pleasure than anything else, and allows you to enjoy the realism with your whole body.

It says, ``However, with this kind of configuration... the footing becomes unstable.'' I have corrected it as follows. However, according to the above-mentioned embodiment having such a configuration, since the floor plate 4 is swingably supported, the
Passenger A's feet move forward and backward, left and right, depending on changes in acceleration and passenger A's weight shift. It swings three-dimensionally in any direction up and down. In other words, a complex rocking movement consisting of overlapping longitudinal, horizontal, vertical translational movements, and rotational movements such as yawing, rolling, and pitching is applied to the floorboard 4, making the footing of the passenger A unstable.
