Abstract

An amusement ride allows at least one rider to rotate/swing around a distal pivot axis, wherein said distal pivot axis is rotatable around rotary axis projecting away from said distal pivot axis, wherein the rotary axis is in parallel direction with said distal pivot axis, wherein the rotary axis is distal from a swing axis and rotates/swings around said swing axis, wherein swing axis is supported by a frame, wherein the frame adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface.

Claims (22)

1. An amusement ride, comprising:

a frame including at least one base support adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface, and a supporting location wherein said supporting location is distal from said at least one base support vertically;

at least one swing arm rotatably or pivotally connected to the supporting location of said frame and rotates or swings around a swing axis;

at least one rotary arm rotatably connected to said at least one swing arm and rotates around a rotation axis wherein said rotation axis is distal from the swing axis;

at least one seat assembly comprising a chassis rotatably or pivotally connected to said at least one rotary arm and rotates or swings around a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis is distal from the rotation axis, at least one seat mounted on the chassis for seating at least one rider, and at least one restraint for restraining said at least one rider;

at least one drive means mounted between said at least one swing arm and said at least one rotary arm for rotating said at least one rotary arm around the rotation axis; and,

at least one swing drive means mounted on said support frame for swinging or rotating said at least one swing arm around the swing axis.

2. The amusement ride of claim 1 wherein said at least one swing drive means comprising at least one actuator or motor gearbox providing required torque for rotating or swinging said at least one swing arm.

3. The amusement ride of claim 1 wherein said at least one drive means comprising at least one actuator or motor gearbox providing required torque for rotating said at least one rotary arm.

4. The amusement ride of claim 1 allows said at least one rider to rotate or swing around said pivot axis, wherein said at least one rotary arm rotating said at least one rider around the rotation axis, wherein said at least one swing arm swinging or rotating said at least one rider around the swing axis.

5. An amusement ride, comprising:

a frame including at least one base support adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface, and a supporting location wherein said supporting location is distal from said at least one base support vertically;

at least one rotary-swing arm having a swing crank-arm and a rotary head-arm; a first end of the swing crank-arm rotatably or pivotally connected to the supporting location of said frame and rotates or swings around a swing axis; a first end of the rotary head-arm rotatably or pivotally connected to a second end of the swing crank-arm rotating or swinging around a head axis;

at least one swing drive means mounted between said frame and said at least one swing crank-arm for swinging or rotating said swing crank-arm around the swing axis;

at least one head drive means mounted between said swing crank-arm and said rotary head-arm for rotating or swinging said rotary head-arm around said head axis;

at least one rotary arm rotatably connected to a second end of the rotary head-arm and rotates around a first axis, wherein said first axis is distal from the swing axis;

at least one seat assembly comprising a chassis rotatably or pivotally connected to said at least one rotary arm and rotates or swings around a second axis, wherein the second axis is distal from the first axis, at least one seat mounted on the chassis for seating at least one rider, and a restraint for restraining said at least one rider; and,

at least one rotary drive means mounted on said at least one rotary-swing arm for rotating said at least one rotary arm around the first axis.

6. The amusement ride of claim 5 , wherein said at least one swing drive means comprising at least one actuator or motor gearbox providing required torque for rotating or swinging said at least one rotary-swing arm around the swing axis.

7. The amusement ride of claim 5 , wherein said at least one head drive means comprising at least one actuator or motor gearbox providing required torque for rotating or swinging said rotary head-arm around the head axis.

8. The amusement ride of claim 5 , wherein said at least one drive means comprising at least one actuator or motor gearbox providing required torque for rotating said at least one rotary arm around the first axis.

9. The amusement ride of claim 5 allows said at least one rider to rotate or swing around said second axis, wherein said at least one rotary arm rotating said at least one rider around the first axis, wherein the rotary head-arm rotating or swinging said at least one rider around the head axis, wherein said at least one rotary-swing arm rotating or swinging said at least one rider around the swing axis.
