    摘要: A first embodiment of carousel device provides a bouncer which cannot be tipped over accidentally. Further, a oscillating circuit enables a battery-operated motor to gently oscillate the bouncer through an 80° arc. A pair of retractable rockers are provided on the bottom of the stationary base to afford the baby additional motion while bouncing. A second embodiment provides a straddlable vehicle which a youngster can peddle, a sound circuit being activated by the pedaling as inducement to continue exercising.

    摘要: An amusement device comprising a modularized pod, in which one or more riders sit and are restrained, and which spins under power about a horizontal axis according to the passenger's active control. The riders control the spinning of the pod, either forward or backward, by pressing buttons on the passenger's handgrips located inside the pod. The modularized pod may be used in conjunction with many different types of amusement devices, including, but not limited to roller coasters, carrousels, Ferris wheels, virtual reality units, centrifugal tumblers. The modularized pod may also be used in conjunction with flight and space training and simulation units.

The playground carriage comprises a rotatable support pipe (12) having a first end (14) and a second end (16). The support pipe extends between a first vertical column (18) and a second vertical column (20). A manually-operated crank extends between the first vertical column and a third vertical column (48). The first end of the crank is coupled to the first end of the support pipe so that manually turning the crank rotates the support pipe. A carriage (28) for carrying people is mounted to the support pipe. The carriage is advanced along the support pipe by a carrier assembly (102). The carrier assembly comprises a carrier (30) which propels the carriage and a brake (104) which is capable of bringing the carriage to a stop.

    摘要: A playground shuttle device includes a track having an upper surface and a lower surface and a support structure connected to and supporting the track. The shuttle device includes a shuttle having a housing defining a chamber through which the track traverses and a transport assembly carried by the housing. The transport assembly includes a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted thereto and positioned so as to ride along the upper surface of the track. The transport assembly includes a brake assembly operably connected thereto by a biasing element. The brake assembly includes at least one brake element that is engagable with the track. The brake assembly is movable relative to the transport assembly between a brake position wherein the brake element engages the track and a free-roll position wherein the brake element is disengaged from the track. When a force is applied to the brake assembly against the biasing element, the brake elements are disengaged from the track to move the shuttle to the free-roll position. Removal of the force from the brake assembly engages the brake element with the track to move the shuttle to the brake position.

    摘要: In accordance with the present invention, a playground carriage (10) is provided for moving people (100) from one play area to another. The playground carriage comprises a rotatable support pipe (12) having a first end (14) and a second end (16). The support pipe extends between a first vertical column (18) and a second vertical column (20). A manually-operated crank (22) having a first end (24) and a second end (26) is also included. The manually-operated crank extends between the first vertical column and a third vertical column (48). The first end of the crank is coupled to the first end of the support pipe so that manually turning the crank rotates the support pipe. A carriage (28) for carrying people is mounted to the support pipe. The carriage is advanced along the support pipe by a carrier (30). The carrier comprises a set of wheels (31) oriented along an outer surface (34) of the support pipe so that the wheels follow a helical, thread-like path along the support pipe and, thus, propel the carrier along the support pipe. A plurality of handrails (36) extend downwardly from the carrier and attach to a platform (37) so that the platform is suspended below the carrier. A protective housing (88) encapsulates the carrier. A guide rail (43) is located immediately below the platform of the carriage and extends parallel to the support pipe between the first vertical column and the second vertical column. In addition, a guide (38) is attached to a lower surface (35) of the platform and engages the guide rail in order to prevent the carriage from swinging excessively as it moves along the support pipe.

    摘要: The subject invention is an improved amusement park ride apparatus which is an adaptation of an upright vertical ferris wheel ride of the type that is rotated about a fixed axis, such invention being an up-right wheel structure having chairs thereon to hold riders as the wheel rotates in a vertical plane. The axle of rotation of the wheel is adapted to move horizontally along a horizontally disposed track, essentially back and forth between positions along such horizontally disposed track. In a further embodiment of the subject invention, the horizontal track up which the ferris wheel can move may be optionally mounted on a rotatable platform to yield a horizontal circular movement of the entire apparatus in addition to the foregoing reciprocal linear movement.

    摘要: An arrangement of cables, pulleys and cams has been invented which provides a simple, reliable, flexible and inexpensive method of converting rotary carousel motion in the horizontal plane into vertical motion of animals on the carousel. A cam is attached to the center pole of the carousel. The cam is positioned so as to interact with cables which are routed from the carousel animals to be given subsidiary motion (typically up-down). For up-down motion each cable is routed vertically from its animal to the overhead support structure and then along a radial passing neat the center pole and is fastened to the overhead support radially opposite the animal being moved. As the carousel, with animals and cables, rotate around the center pole the cam sequentially intercepts the cables forcing the overhead table paths to lenghten and drawing the animals upward to accomodate the cable path change. As the carouser rotation carries the cables sequentially beyond reach of the cam the cable and horse is restored to its initial position. Continuing carousel rotation causes the cable cycle to continue repetitively.
