Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a slide play device in which a slide on which a person descends the slide slides over a long distance on the water surface.

Conventionally, boat-type vehicles that descend down a slide and plunge into the water surface have been known, but because the bottom end of this slide is submerged under the water surface, the vehicle that descends down the slide with flowing water is In position,
A large splash of water was generated which immediately entered the water surface and immediately came to rest on the water surface near the lower end position. Therefore, all I had to do was enjoy the thrill of descending down the slide and splashing into the water as I descended at high speed.

This invention was developed to give players a new sense of thrill that is completely different from the above-mentioned conventional rides. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water play device, which is characterized by a rigid shallow dish water slide for one person, whose bottom surface is substantially flat and whose front edge is curved upward. a platform; a pool storing water; the platform is set slightly higher than the water surface of the pool, and has a substantially horizontal lower end for allowing the slide platform descending from the upper end to jump out; a slide constructed by setting an inclination angle to the water surface of the portion excluding the lower end and the upper end to be 45 degrees or more; The depth of the pool is set to be gradually shallower toward the front, which is further away from the lower end.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a slide, which is composed of a sliding bottom 2 and a side wall 3, the surface of which is covered with a low-friction plastic material such as Teflon material. Reference numeral 4 is a water flow device consisting of a pipe or the like for flowing water onto the surface, 5 is a supporting leg that supports the slide 1 from the back side, 6 is a starting device located at the top of the slide 1, and 7 is a starting device located at the top of the slide 1. It is a rigid sliding platform on a substantially flat surface. The slide 1 has a substantially horizontal lower end 8 from which the slide 7 that has descended from the upper end can jump out, and a pool A storing water is provided at a position lower than the lower end 8, and the water surface of the pool A is B is located at a position slightly lower than the lower end 8. That is, the lower end 8 is set to be higher than the water surface B by a predetermined distance h. The slide 1 is configured such that the inclination angle of the portion of the slide 1 excluding the lower end 8 and the upper end with respect to the water surface B is set to 45 degrees or more.

The slide 1 may be set at a slightly elevated place in the form of a slope, or may be a structure having a round staircase or the like.

A single slide 1 may be installed, or three may be installed in parallel as shown in Figure 3, or several slides may be installed depending on the installation location, etc. The slide 1 is installed in front of pool AA, and players descend from the top of slide 1 on slide 7, slide across the water surface, then take slide 7 along guideway C from the other end of pool A to the top of slide 1, and slide down on slide 7 again.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the depth of the pool A along the travel trajectory where the slide 7 jumps out from the lower end 8 of the slide 1 and slides is gradually increased as the distance from the lower end 8 increases toward the front. If the bottom 20 of pool A is set to be shallow, and the bottom 20 of pool A is gently sloped to shallow water E as it goes forward, waves will rise on the water surface like the edge of the water on the coast, and the arrows in Figure 5 will form. A supporting force such as F acts on the sliding platform 7, which rides on the waves like a surf-in and slides over a longer distance.

4 shows the lower end 8 of the first slide set horizontally, and FIG. 5 shows the lower end 8 of the slide 1 tilted slightly upward at a small angle θ.
When formed as shown in the figure, the slide 7 that has descended at high speed will fly slightly upwards, just like when a stone is thrown onto the water surface, it will jump three or four steps.
splashes onto the water surface, achieving even longer gliding distances.

What is shown in FIG. 6 is the starting device 6, in which a plurality of rows of rollers 10, 10... are rotatably arranged in parallel in the rear part 9, handrails 11, 11 are provided on both sides, and the front part 12 is provided with handrails 11, 11. A starting platform 13 in which a plurality of rows of rollers 10, 10... are rotatably arranged in parallel is connected to a hydraulic cylinder 1.
The starting platform 13 is pivotally connected to the tip of the piston rod 15 of No. 4, and the rear end 16 of the starting platform 13 is pivotably supported on the upper end of a projecting support portion 18 on a base 17 of the structure. The cylinder 14 of the starting device 6 is configured to be operated by a lever or switch (not shown) located at the location of the attendant.

A player D gets on the slide 7, moves forward by holding the handrails 11, 11 on the rollers 10, 10... of the rear part 9 of the starting device 6 with his hands as shown in the figure, and moves forward to the starting platform 13 of the front part 12. stand still. The staff member confirms that there are no other players on the slide route in pool A and on slide 1, and then operates the lever or switch. When the switch is turned on, the cylinder 14 is operated, the piston rod 15 is pulled downward, the starting platform 13 is tilted forward, the slide platform 7 moves forward on the rollers 10, 10, and descends on the slide platform 1. I will do it.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the sliding platform 7 has a pair of handles 21, 21 protruding upward from the left and right edges, and is made of rigid plastic integrally molded from FRP or the like. Moreover, the bottom portion 22 is formed in a substantially planar shape, and the front end edge is formed in an upwardly curved shape, so that the entire surface is a generally rectangular shallow dish shape, and has a shape that is easy to slide on water. There is. In addition, a plurality of vertical grooves 19 are formed in the bottom surface 22, and serve to increase the straightness of the slide platform 7 when sliding on water.

However, this slide 7 is for one person, and as shown in FIG. , grab the handles 21, 21 with both hands, and step on the sliding platform 7.

Although the water flow device 4 is installed in this embodiment, the water flow device 4 does not necessarily need to be installed on the slide 1, and the function of the slide 1 can be fully demonstrated. In addition, the water surface for gliding may be the sea, a pond, or a gently flowing river other than a general pool, and these will be referred to as a "pool" in this invention.

In this embodiment, since the starting device 6 was installed at the top of the slide 1, the starting device 6 was installed after making sure that there were no other players on the slide 1 or on the sliding path in pool A. By activating the , there is an advantage that collisions can be prevented and the safety of player D can be maintained.Also, since the slides 1, 1, 1 are installed parallel, players D, D, and D can slide in parallel and cross each other. You can enjoy safe glide because there is nothing to do, and what's more, the bottom 20
The slope is gently sloped to form a shallow water E as it goes forward, so waves form on the water surface and the player D can enjoy the surf-in effect. 21 is provided in an upwardly protruding manner, so that player D can grip the handles 21, 21 with both hands and glide while maintaining left and right balance. It can glide, and if you lose your balance you will fall, making it extremely entertaining. When the player D holds the handles 21, 21 in his hands, the posture of the player D is maintained during sliding, and there is an advantage that the sliding can be carried out smoothly and safely.

As described above, the present invention includes a shallow dish-shaped slide 7, which is a rigid body for one person and has a bottom surface 22 formed in a substantially planar shape and a front edge curved upward, and a pool in which water is stored. A, and a substantially horizontal lower end 8 which is set slightly higher than the water surface B of the pool A and allows the sliding platform 7 descended from the upper end to jump out, and the lower end 8 and A slide 1 configured with an inclination angle with respect to the water surface B of the part excluding the upper end set to 45 degrees or more, and a run in which the slide 7 jumps out from the lower end 8 of the slide 1 and slides on the water. Since the depth of the pool A along the trajectory is set to be gradually shallower toward the front away from the lower end 8, the player D who rides on the slide 7 and descends the slide 1 suddenly has a large At such speed, the slide 1 jumps out horizontally from the lower end 8 of the slide 1, and lands on the water surface B with the substantially flat bottom surface 22 of the slide 7 almost parallel. When jumping out, the vertical velocity component is almost zero, so the speed does not decrease at all. At the same time as landing on the water, it will glide over a long distance along the direction of its launch while floating on the water surface B. Therefore, the player D riding on the slide 7 can enjoy the thrill and pleasure for a relatively long period of time. Since the pool A gradually becomes shallower towards the front, as the sliding platform 7 moves towards the front, waves will form on the water surface and you will feel like you are moving along with the waves. The player can enjoy the feeling of riding the waves at the sea, lake, or the like. In addition, since the point at which the sliding speed naturally falls is shallow, the player can easily get off the sliding platform 7 and be able to stand on his or her feet safely.
