141 MULTI-BAY BUNGEE-CORD ACROBATIC SUSPENSION AND TRAMPOLINE STRUCTURE EP00968796.3 2000-10-05 EP1227863A1 2002-08-07 Raidt, Alexander; Raidt, Peter C.
A geometric-tree like gymnastic amusement-thrill structure (10) efficiently based upon a central ground-anchored vertical trunk-pylon member (15) employing a preferably four-way arrangement of radially upward and outwardly extending branch support-booms (11', 12', 13', 14'), each in discreet combination with a laterally supporting ground-anchored beam extending upward to a point proximal the base of its respective support-booms. Plus, nearly vertical compression-load beams (16, 17, 18, 19) are secured at their lower-ends near each support-boom's lower terminus, and secured at their upper-ends near the outer ends of the respective overhanging support-boom. This X-shaped structure is additionally secured in rigid stance via a plurality of strategically placed triangulated tension-cables (33') extending upward at an angle from proximal the ground anchoring point of the lateral ground-anchored beams to a point well up on the support booms. The structure also includes separate bungee-cords (23) which are strung between the outer distal ends of each support-boom.
142 Device for accelerating and decelerating objects EP97113848.2 1997-08-11 EP0824032A3 1998-08-26 Checketts, Stanley J.

A device for accelerating and decelerating objects by introducing compressed gas into the bore of a housing. A piston is slidably mounted in the bore and has attached to it a cable which proceeds along the bore, through a first aperture near the first end of the housing, around a first pulley, along the exterior of the housing, around a second pulley, through a second aperture near the second end of the housing, and along the bore again before entering the piston and having the second end of the cable connected to the first end of the cable. A carrier is attached to the cable so that the carrier is near the second end of the housing when the piston is near the first end of the housing. Compressed gas can be introduced into the bore near the first end of the housing or near the second end of the housing. An exhaust valve located between the first end of the housing and the second end of the housing can be opened or closed, and a deceleration control valve located near the first end of the housing and closer to the first end of the housing than the exhaust valve can be adjusted. By selectively injecting compressed gas into the bore at the two locations and by controlling the exhaust valve and the deceleration control valve, at least five modes of oscillation may be achieved.

The invention concerns an amusement device (1) having one or a plurality of passenger carriers (2) and a frame (3). The device preferably takes the form of a dropping framework. An eddy current brake (4) is provided for braking the movable passenger carriers. The eddy current brake (4) is preferably in the form of a linear brake and, owing to the influence on the various braking factors, is constructed such that it develops a substantially constant braking effect whilst compensating the decreasing dropping speed.
144 Device for accelerating and decelerating objects EP95116280.9 1995-10-16 EP0707875A1 1996-04-24 Checketts, Stanley J.

A device for accelerating and decelerating one or more objects by introducing pressurized fluid through an injection valve into the bore of a housing. A piston is slidably mounted in the bore and has a cable attached to one side. The cable travels through an aperture near one end of the housing before passing over a first pulley and then connecting to a carrier which holds the object or objects. The cable is selected to be of a length such that the piston will not exit the open end of the bore, which is opposite to the end near where the aperture is located. This creates the possibility of operating the device in two different modes. In the first mode, the pressure of the introduced gas is insufficient to propel the objects past the side of the first pulley that is opposite to the initial location of the objects. The force of the introduced fluid accelerates the piston away from the end of the bore near the aperture, subsequently decelerates the piston after it has changed direction, and then begins the cycle again. When a greater pressure is utilized, the fluid will accelerate the piston and the objects until they pass the first pulley; then decelerate the objects until they stop beyond the first pulley; subsequently accelerate the objects toward the first pulley, creating a perceived negative gravitational force if the movement is vertical; and then decelerate the objects after they have again passed the first pulley.

145 AMUSEMENT RIDE EP93919961.0 1993-08-13 EP0656801A1 1995-06-14 KITCHEN, William, J.; BIRD, Kenneth, G.
The ride (10) is capable of raising a rider (22) to a height of ten meters or more above the ground, and then releasing the rider to swing. It includes a support structure (12), a support line (16) secured to the support structure at one end, with an opposed end secured to a rider, preferably to an attachment which is worn by a rider (20). A launch structure (26) is spaced from the support structure (12) and carries a launch line (24) which has an end (48) which is capable of being raised and lowered above the ground, and which is designed to be releasably attached to a rider attachment, so as to lift a rider from the ground. In operation the rider attachment with the support line attached is secured to the rider, the launch line is releasably secured to the attachment, and the launch line is activated to move the rider laterally and upwardly towards the top of the launch structure. When the launch line is released from the attachment which carries the rider, the rider swings downwardly at a high speed simulating the sensation of 'body flight' in a pendulum like motion.

158 FALL ATTRACTION FOR FAIRGROUNDS EP98940682.2 1998-08-26 EP1017461B1 2004-10-06 BUSSINK, Ronald, Alexander
A fall attraction for theme parks and fairgrounds comprises a seating carrier (7), a rail track (2) mounted on a tower or mast for guiding the seating carrier (7) and means (12, 13) for transporting the seating carrier to the uppermost section of the rail track. The rail track has a vertical or sloping fall section (8) over which the seating carrier is able to execute a free fall and a braking section, adjoining said vertical or sloping fall section, to bring the seating carrier to a standstill. In order to increase the attractive sensation and to improve safety, the braking section of the rail track has a safety section (9) which extends upwards and over which the seating carrier can be slowed down by an upward movement and can then fall back.

160 APPARATUS FOR AN AMUSEMENT RIDE AND FALL EP01961459.3 2001-08-13 EP1311329A1 2003-05-21 FEA, David
The invention provides an apparatus for an amusement ride and fall. The apparatus comprises a track 10 having a discharge point below which there is a substantial drop. A thrill seeking passenger first experiences a ride by being propelled along the track 10 to the discharge point 20 and discharged therefrom with a horizontal component of motion. The passenger then experiences a free fall. An elastic tie 70 having a secured first end and a free second end connected directly or indirectly to the passenger limits the free fall and, together with the horizontal component of motion imparted to the passenger, causes the passenger to swing and bounce for a period of time at the end of the free fall. At the end of the ride and fall the passenger is released safely. The invention therefore provides a thrill similar to that of a bungy jump but with enhancements. In a preferred embodiment, the passenger rides on or in a conveyance 42 releasably mounted on a carriage 34. The carriage 34 is propelled along the track 10 and at the discharge point 20 a substantial horizontal component of deceleration is imparted to the carriage 34 and enables the conveyance 42 and passenger to be discharged from the carriage 34 to continue in their own trajectory. In this embodiment the secured end of the elastic tie 70 may be attached to the carriage 34, which does not leave the track 10, and the free end may be attached to the passenger or the conveyance 42. In the latter case the passenger is secured to the conveyance 42.
