Patent number: 7722469Abstract: Amusement apparatus which permits unusual compactness and easy transportation comprises a vehicle for accommodating users, the vehicle being suitable for following a path in space which comprises a component due to oscillation about a center of instantaneous rotation and a component due to rotation about an axis oriented variously in space. The vehicle is supported on a support structure comprising two rails the shape of which defines the shape of the component due to oscillation of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Antonio Zamperla S.p.A.Inventors: Giambattista Zambelli, Alberto Comand

Patent number: 6790146Abstract: Apparatus for amusement, unusually capable of causing the user to interact while it is in operation, comprising a structure capable of rotating about an axis and a support for receiving at least one user associated with the structure in its rotary motion about an axis. The structure comprises at least one target. In addition to this, activating mechanism operatively associated with the support to receive at least one user are provided, the activating mechanism being capable of causing the support to receive at least one user to move along at least one direction jointly with the said structure. A device for projecting detection mechanism against the target operatively connected to the support to receive at least one user can be activated by the user himself.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2003Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Antonio Zamperla S.p.A.Inventor: Alberto Comand
