Abstract
A helicopter amusement apparatus, which enables hovering, climbing and descending, and flying back and forth in a play helicopter by force of muscles with excellent steering performance. The helicopter amusement apparatus is equipped with a hydraulic system, which enables positioning a balancing weight in a suitable location to obtain equilibrium according to the weight of the using pilot to enable lifting and driving the cockpit by means of a small force generated by a rotor activated by the power source of the pilot's feet.
Claims12
A helicopter amusement apparatus (1) for a pilot (2), the helicopter amusement apparatus (1) comprising:
- (a) a main pole (10), wherein said main pole (10) is positioned vertically, wherein at least part of said main pole (10) has a horizontal rotational movement (24) capability;
- (b) a main beam (20) mechanically connected to said main pole (10), wherein said main beam (20) has a limited vertical rotational movement (23) capability;
- (c) a cockpit (30), wherein said cockpit (30) is mechanically connected to said main beam (20), and wherein said cockpit (30) is suspended below said main beam (20);
- (d) a rotor (50) for producing lift and thrust forces, mechanically connected to said cockpit (30);
- and
- (e) a balancing weight (80) having limited linear movement (82) capability along said main beam (20), wherein rotation of said rotor (50) is by means of mechanical power produced by the legs (21) of said pilot (2) and transmitted to said rotor (50) by a mechanical transmission system (40), and wherein linear movement (82) of said balancing weight (80) is generated by a hydraulic system (70), wherein said hydraulic system (70) transmits power produced by a hand (2h) of said pilot (2);
- (f) a main beam shaft (25) mechanically connected on said main beam (20) enabling said vertical rotational movement (23) of said main beam (20);
- (g) a cockpit carrying beam (22) for carrying said cockpit (30) said cockpit carrying beam (22) is mechanically connected to said main beam (20) by an axis (15);
- (h) a parallelogram beam (21) for keeping said cockpit carrying beam (22) vertical, said parallelogram beam (21) is mechanically connected to said cockpit carrying beam (22) by an axis (15);
- and
- (i) a main pole ring (12) mechanically connected to said main pole (10) said main pole ring (12) having shaft carriers (13) wherein said main beam shaft (25) is mounted on said shaft carriers (13), and wherein said parallelogram beam (21) is mechanically connected to said main pole ring (12) by an axis (15).
