  • Patent number: 8303425
    Abstract: Equipment (1) for a funfair includes: a rigid body (5) provided with at least a place (51) for a passenger; a frame (10) for supporting the body (50), through a supporting mechanism (14, 17, 52) which enables the body (50) to rotate with respect to a first rotation axis (X) and a second rotation axis (Y) located perpendicular to one another and being solidly mobile in rotation with respect to a fixed third rotation axis (Z); and a mechanism (16, 18, 22) for rotating the body (50) with respect to the first rotation axis (X), the second rotation axis (Y) and the third rotation axis (Z), independently of one another.
