Abstract

For a leisure apparatus, a passenger transfer installation by means of a rotating sloping turning disc 1 is disclosed, onto which disc the vehicles 2 of the leisure apparatus drive, the drive-on speed being determined by a guide 3 and the turning disc being provided with a liquid-permeable floor covering, for example an adhesive covering, to increase the coefficient of friction between the vehicle and the turning disc, which floor covering thus also provides an anti-slip surface for the passengers. Bridge-type apparatuses 5 are provided for transfer of the passengers.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Wechsel von Fahrgästen in längs einer Bahn bewegbaren Wasserfahrzeugen, wie z.B. geführten Booten, insbesondere von Vergnügungseinrichtun­gen, bei der die Wasserfahrzeuge an bzw. auf einer kontinuier­lich sich drehenden Scheibe anlegen und die Fahrgäste gefahrlos während der Drehung der Scheibe ein- und aussteigen können. Es ist bekannt, daß Boote gemäß der EU-PS 137.780 an den Umfang einer sich drehenden Scheibe angepreßt werden, wobei die Fahr­gäste in das mehr oder weniger schwimmende Boot ein- und aus­steigen können. Durch die Niveauunterschiede (der Bootsboden liegt tiefer als die Scheibe) und durch den nahen Flüssigkeits­spiegel tritt eine psychologische Bremse ein, die dem raschen Fahrgastwechsel entgegenwirkt, wodurch die Bootsgröße bzw. die maximal zu befördernde Personenzahl eingeschränkt wird.The invention relates to a device for changing passengers in watercraft that can be moved along a path, such as e.g. guided boats, in particular of amusement facilities, in which the watercraft moor on or on a continuously rotating disc and the passengers can get on and off safely while the disc is rotating. It is known that boats according to EU-PS 137.780 are pressed against the circumference of a rotating disc, whereby the passengers can get in and out of the more or less floating boat. Due to the level differences (the bottom of the boat is lower than the window) and the nearby liquid level, a psychological brake occurs which counteracts the rapid change of passengers, which limits the size of the boat or the maximum number of people to be transported.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, diesem psycho­logischen Punkt entgegenzuwirken, und so das Ein- und Ausstei­gen der Fahrgäste zu erleichtern.The invention has set itself the task of counteracting this psychological point, and thus to facilitate boarding and alighting of the passengers.

Die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Scheibe mit einem feinporigen flüssigkeitsdurchlässigen Belag, insbesondere Haftbelag, versehen ist und schräg zur die Bahn des Wasserfahr­zeuges bestimmenden Führung desselben angeordnet ist und das Wasserfahrzeug auf einer Seite der Scheibe aufnehmbar und aus seiner Führung genommen sowie auf der sich drehenden Scheibe ruhend angeordnet ist und der Fahrgastwechsel, die Wendung des Wasserfahrzeuges und auf der anderen Seite die Einkuppelung in die Führung in abführender Richtung zur Bahn vorgesehen ist, wodurch der Fahrgastwechsel erleichtert und auch der Platzbe­darf der Anlage reduziert wird. Gemäß einem weiteren Erfin­dungsmerkmal sind die Wasserfahrzeuge als längs einer Bahn be­wegbare und insbesondere in einer Flüssigkeit aufschwimmende Boote oder gleitende Schlitten ausgebildet, wodurch die Ausbil­dung der Wasserfahrzeuge, insbesondere für schnelle Bahnen, wo der Flüssigkeitswiderstand eine große Rolle spielt, präzisiert wird. Vorzugsweise sind feststehende Einrichtungen, wie z.B. Brücken zur Einstieg- bzw. Ausstiegsstelle nahe dem Drehzentrum der Scheibe zur Lenkung des Fahrgaststromes vorgesehen, die eine zweckmäßige Lenkung des Fahrgaststromes gewährleisten. Insbesondere ist die Drehgeschwindigkeit des Wasserfahrzeuges auf der Scheibe geringer als die Geschwindigkeit des Wasser­fahrzeuges auf der Bahn und ist die Wasserfahrzeugdichte auf der Scheibe größer als auf der Bahn, wodurch eine weitere Er­leichterung des Fahrgastwechsels vorgegeben ist.The invention is characterized in that the disc is provided with a fine-pored, liquid-permeable coating, in particular adhesive coating, and is arranged obliquely to the guide determining the path of the watercraft, and the watercraft can be received and removed on one side of the disc taken from its leadership and is arranged on the rotating disc at rest and the passenger change, the turn of the watercraft and on the other hand, the coupling into the guide in the direction leading to the train is provided, whereby the passenger change is easier and the space requirement of the system is reduced . According to a further feature of the invention, the watercraft are designed as boats or sliding sledges which can be moved along a path and in particular float in a liquid, whereby the design of the watercraft, in particular for fast paths where liquid resistance plays a major role, is specified. Fixed devices, such as bridges to the entry or exit point near the center of rotation of the disk for directing the flow of passengers, are preferably provided, which ensure appropriate guidance of the flow of passengers. In particular, the speed of rotation of the watercraft on the windshield is lower than the speed of the watercraft on the web and the watercraft density on the windshield is greater than on the web, which further facilitates changing passengers.

Die Erfindung ist in den angeschlossenen Fig. 1 und 2 bei­spielsweise und schematisch dargestellt.The invention is shown, for example and schematically, in the connected FIGS. 1 and 2.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einem Grundriß die Scheibe und einen Teil der Bootsbahn, Fig. 2 einen zugehörigen Aufriß.Fig. 1 shows in a plan the window and part of the boat railway, Fig. 2 shows an associated elevation.

In Fig. 1 ist die Endstelle bzw. Einstiegstelle einer Vergnü­gungsbahn dargestellt, bei der die Wasserfahrzeuge 2, bei­spielsweise Boote, in Pfeilrichtung 6 bewegt werden. So fährt das Wasserfahrzeug 2′, durch eine Führung 3 gehalten, mit vor­gegebener Geschwindigkeit auf die sich drehende, geneigte Scheibe 1 auf, wird aus der Führung 3 gehoben und durch den Haftbelag 4 auf der Scheibe 1 gehalten. Die Fahrgäste kommen in Pfeilrichtung 7 über feststehende Einrichtungen 5 wie z.B. Brücken an die Einstiegstelle, wobei sie die Scheibe 1 in der Nähe des Drehzentrums 8 betreten. Das Zentrum der Scheibe 1 kann als stillstehende Insel ausgebildet sein, um die sich die Scheibe mit dem Wasserfahrzeug 2 ring-förmig in Drehrichtung 9 dreht, so daß beim Verlassen der Brücke nicht sofort eine sich mit langsamer Geschwindigkeit drehende Scheibe betreten wird. Die Scheibe 1 ist mit einem flüssigkeitsdurchlässigen porigen Belag 4, insbesondere Haftbelag, versehen, so daß einerseits die Wasserfahrzeuge 2 ruhig auf dem bewegten Teil der Scheibe liegen, andererseits die Fahrgäste mit ihren Schuhen auch bei ungünstiger Witterung (feuchter Scheibe) nicht in Gefahr ge­bracht werden. Die Schrägstellung der Scheibe gegenüber dem Flüssigkeitsspiegel 10 ist gering, in der Größe von einigen Graden. Nach einer Drehung von 1800 dem Scheibe wird das Was­serfahrzeug 2 wieder in die Führung eingehoben und dadurch auf Bahngeschwindigkeit gebracht und verläßt schließlich gemäß Be­zugszeichen 2˝ die Einstiegstelle. Die Scheibe 1 taucht teil­weise in einen mit Flüssigkeit gefüllten Graben ein, von dem die Wasserfahrzeuge schwimmend zu- und abgeführt werden. Hiebei läßt sich natürlich die Führung 3 durch die Strömung der Flüs­sigkeit im Graben ersetzen, insbesondere dann, wenn die Boote durch eine entsprechende Geschwindigkeitsführung, beispielswei­se über nicht dargestellte Rutschhänge, zu Wasser gebracht wer­den.1 shows the end point or entry point of an amusement ride, in which the watercraft 2, for example boats, are moved in the direction of the arrow 6. So the watercraft 2 ', held by a guide 3, at a predetermined speed on the rotating, inclined Disc 1, is lifted out of the guide 3 and held on the disc 1 by the adhesive coating 4. The passengers come in the direction of the arrow 7 via fixed devices 5, such as bridges, to the entry point, entering the disk 1 in the vicinity of the turning center 8. The center of the disc 1 can be designed as a stationary island, around which the disc with the watercraft 2 rotates in a ring-shaped direction of rotation 9, so that a disc rotating at a slow speed is not immediately entered when leaving the bridge. The pane 1 is provided with a liquid-permeable porous covering 4, in particular adhesive covering, so that on the one hand the watercraft 2 lie quietly on the moving part of the pane, on the other hand the passengers with their shoes are not put in danger even in unfavorable weather (wet pane) . The inclination of the disc with respect to the liquid level 10 is slight, in the order of a few degrees. After a rotation of 180 ° the disk, the watercraft 2 is lifted back into the guide and thereby brought to the web speed and finally leaves the entry point according to reference number 2˝. The disk 1 is partially immersed in a trench filled with liquid, from which the watercraft are floated in and out. Hiebei can of course replace the guide 3 by the flow of the liquid in the trench, especially when the boats are brought to water by an appropriate speed control, for example via slides not shown.

In Fig. 2 ist die feststehende starre Brückenkonstruktion dar­gestellt, unter welche die Fahrzeuge 2 hindurchgeführt werden, wobei die Führung 3 als Schleppkette ausgebildet ist, mit der das Fahrzeug mit vorgegebener Geschwindigkeit an die Scheibe herangebracht und von dieser mit Schleppgeschwindigkeit in den abführenden Kanal eingefädelt wird. Die Schleppkette 11 ist dabei unterhalb der Drehscheibe 1 geführt.In Fig. 2 the fixed rigid bridge construction is shown, under which the vehicles 2 are passed, wherein the guide 3 is designed as a drag chain, with which the vehicle is brought to the window at a predetermined speed and is threaded by it into the discharging channel at a drag speed. The drag chain 11 is guided below the turntable 1.
