An angled rotating play device is provided as a cantileveredly merry-go-round supported above the ground from below. A foot platform provides a location for one or more riders feet along a first rotation axis and is angled at an acute angle relative to a vertical axis. The vertical axis may also provide a second rotation axis. At least one of a plurality of supports connect to at least one hand hold above the foot platform whereby the hand hold and/or covers over the hand hold provide a maximum elevation of the device and may help users to shift their weight to self drive the device from the device.

An amusement apparatus includes an elongate member having an upper extremity formed with a leveraging arm and an opposed lower extremity formed with a pivot point. A seat to receive a child in a sitting position is mounted to the elongate member for rotation thereabout between the opposed upper and lower extremities, and a handlebar available to be taken up by hand by a child seated on the seat is mounted to the elongate member for rotation thereabout between the seat and the upper extremity. The leveraging arm extends outwardly from the upper extremity to a handled end positioned above the seat. The elongate leveraging arm is available to be taken up at the handled end to reciprocally pivot the elongate member at the pivot point of the lower extremity of the elongate member to impart rotation to the seat about the elongate member.

One embodiment of an occupant propelled roundabout (“roundabout”) may have a body. The roundabout may also have a carrier, which may be rotatably carried by the body and may also have a seat assembly adapted to carry an occupant. In addition, the roundabout may also have a drive mechanism pivotally coupled to the seat assembly such that the drive mechanism may be movable between a deployed position and a retracted position. The drive mechanism may be moved toward the deployed position in response to the occupant operating the drive mechanism. Also, the roundabout may have a biasing member, which may be operably connected between the drive mechanism and the carrier so that the biasing member may move the drive mechanism toward the retracted position.

A device for children of the present invention includes a travel path supported by a post and a plurality of sections occupied by the children movable relative the travel path in at least one direction. The travel path is movable between at least two planes relative the post. The device may include an actuator cooperable with the travel path to move the travel path between the two planes.

A water amusement system is described which includes a number of different water park rides. The water amusement system may include a water fountain system. The water fountain system includes a roof configured to turn in response to directing a stream of water at the roof. The water amusement system may include a water carousel. The water carousel is a carousel which is configured to float on a body of water. The water amusement system may include a musical fountain system. The musical fountain system is configured to spray water, play music and/or provide visual effects. The water amusement system may include a water powered Ferris wheel. The water amusement system may include a water powered bumper vehicle system. The water powered bumper vehicle system is configured such that the vehicles are preferably propelled by streams of water produced by water nozzles arranged about the water bumper vehicle system. The water system may include a boat ride system. The boat ride system includes a number of boats which are preferably towed by a rotatable base. The boats may also include steering devices and participant interaction devices. The water amusement system may also include a water train system. The water train system is a train system which is propelled by a water propulsion device.
摘要:
A user propelled merry-go-round including a base with a post centrally coupled to a top surface thereof and extending upwards therefrom. Also included is a support pivotally coupled to the post. The support has a plurality of support members extending radially from the post. A plurality of wheel forks are each coupled to an associated support member and extended vertically downward therefrom with an axially aligned bore formed therein. A plurality of bicycle frames are each coupled to an associated support member with a seat situated thereon. Wheels with associated sprockets are each axially coupled to one of the forks via the bore thereof. A plurality of pedal units are axially coupled to an associated bicycle frame whereby the sprocket of the pedal unit and the sprocket of the wheel reside in a similar plane with a chain operatively coupled therebetween for allowing a user to precess about the post upon the rotation of the pedal unit.

A playground unit having a rotatable horizontally disposed deck adapted to support at least one passenger is provided with a control device operatively connected to the deck to limit the rotational speed thereof. The control device is a hydraulic governor comprising a fluid reservoir, a pump, and a valve with interconnecting fluid lines and check valves providing appropriate directional flow of fluid between the reservoir, pump and valve. The valve automatically moves between an open and closed position depending upon the rotational speed of the unit. The force required to maintain the rotational speed of the playground unit is much greater when the valve is closed as compared to when the valve is open.
