摘要： A flotation apparatus such as an inflatable tube is designed for a wide sluice waterslide. A coupling for the tube has a prong on the bow of the tube, which is V-shaped, the prong extending forward along a handle portion and downward to a distal locking knob with radial fins. A positioning plate reinforces the coupling between the prong and a mounting plate on the tube. A coupling ring is attached to the mounting plate or the positioning plate, laterally of the prong, and a second coupling ring is provided at the stern of the tube, such that the tube can be coupled to other such tubes in single file or face to face arrays. The fins of the prong and the inside diameter of the rings are complementarily conical in the insertion and removal directions. A wide sluice waterslide to be traversed by the tubes as joined in lines or arrays has a generally downhill contour along a sinuous path. However, the downhill contour is limited to the inside of the curves, and along the centerline of the path as well as along the banked outsides of the curves, the path proceeds uphill as well as generally downward and around curves. Along the uphill stretches, supplementary water inlets are provided, supplying a lateral flow over which the tubes can pass.

摘要： A waterslide defined by a trough proceeding generally downhill and carrying water to be skimmed over by a rider, is arranged with successive uphill and downhill sections at a crest. Water injection ports along the uphill section approaching the crest are inclined in the direction of motion and assist slower riders over the crest. The same ports can direct sufficient water over the crest for braking faster riders along the downhill section. A portion of the water injected along the uphill section flows backwards to a low point. An elongated drain at the low point prevents pooling of water tending to slow down the riders. A pad for supporting the rider while traversing the waterslide has a U-shaped bow support web disposed at a front of the apparatus, with spaced legs extending rearwardly and an integral handle graspable by the rider. Two integral web and handle members are wrapped part way around by the leading edge of the pad and attached thereto by push pin fasteners.

摘要： A waterslide defined by a trough proceeding generally downhill and carrying water to be skimmed over by a rider, is arranged with successive uphill and downhill sections. An elongated drain at a low elevation between the uphill and downhill sections prevents pooling of water tending to slow down the rider. Water is injected into the trough at relatively higher elevations on both the downhill and uphill sections, establishing a gravity flow of water in a forward direction relative to the rider path along the downhill section and in the reverse on the uphill section. The downhill section and the subsequent uphill section are dimensioned such that kinetic energy accumulated by the rider carries the rider over the uphill section and the arc over the uphill section can be parabolic along a free fall trajectory of the rider. A pad for supporting the rider while traversing the waterslide has a U-shaped bow support web disposed at a front of the apparatus, with spaced legs extending rearwardly and an integral handle graspable by the rider. Two integral web and handle members are wrapped part way around by the leading edge of the pad and attached thereto by push pin fasteners.
