Abstract
The current invention relates to an amusement device, in which the amusement device includes a first tower; a first arm, extending between a first end and a second end, which is at its first end rotatably connected to the first tower for allowing rotation over at least 180° and configured to rotate around a swining axis (Sa); a carrier, rotatably connected to the second end of the first arm and rotatable around a carrier rotation axis, and a stability mechanism, connecting the carrier with the first tower, wherein the stability mechanism is configured to maintain the carrier in an upright orientation while the first arm rotates around the swinging axis.
Claims12
Amusement device comprising:
- a first tower;
- a first arm, extending between a first end and a second end, which is at its first end rotatably connected to the first tower for allowing rotation of at least 180°,
- wherein the first arm is configured to rotate around a swinging axis (Sa), defined by the first end of the first arm,
- a carrier, rotatably connected to the second end of the first arm and rotatable around a carrier rotation axis (Cra),
- a stability mechanism connecting the carrier with the first tower, wherein the stability mechanism is configured to maintain the carrier in an upright orientation while the first arm rotates around the swinging axis (Sa),
- wherein the stability mechanism comprises first and second parallel guide link systems, wherein at least one of the first and the second parallel guide link systems connect the carrier with the first tower, and
- wherein positions of the first and second parallel guide link systems differ when projected in a plane perpendicular to the swinging axis (Sa), such that the first and second parallel guide link systems are adapted to alternately stabilize the carrier when the swinging arm rotates around the swinging axis (Sa).
