Abstract: A secondary bar securing device (3) of a safety bar (4) of an amusement ride has a primary securing device that keeps the safety bar (4) in an angular position adapted to the anatomy of the passenger during travel of the amusement ride, and first and second blocking elements (21, 22) arranged at a distance (25) to each other. In the event of a malfunction of the primary securing device, the safety bar (4) can be moved in a tolerance opening angle, which correlates to the distance (25) between the blocking elements (21, 22). If the tolerance opening angle is exceeded, one of the blocking elements (21, 22) block the safety bar (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a secondary bar securing device (3) of a safety bar (4) of an amusement ride, comprising: a primary securing device which keeps the safety bar (4) in an angular position that is adapted to the anatomy of the passenger during travel of the amusement ride, at least one first blocking element (21) and at least one second blocking element (22), wherein the at least one first blocking element (21) and the at least one second blocking element (22) are arranged at a distance (25) to each other, wherein, in the event of a malfunction of the primary securing device, the safety bar (4) can be moved in a tolerance opening angle, wherein the tolerance opening angle correlates to the distance (25) between the at least one first and the at least one second blocking element (21, 22), and, wherein, if the tolerance opening angle is exceeded, the at least one first blocking element (21) and the at least one second blocking element (22) block the safety bar (4).

Abstract: The invention is a water amusement ride, comprising at least one water vehicle, which can be moved in a body of water and which comprises seats for accommodating passengers. A platform is provided, which extends out of the water surface in an idle state of the water amusement ride and is beneath the water surface in an operating state, and a platform carrier is provided, which lifts the platform out of the water surface in the idle state. According to the invention, the platform carrier and/or the platform comprises at least one floating body. The switch to the idle state (and possibly also back to the operating state) can be completed more quickly and with lower force and energy consumption in comparison with a traditional water amusement ride.

Abstract: A rotating water amusement ride is described in which the passengers can in a simpler manner walk to their seats in the water vessels while keeping their feet dry. This is principally achieved by a water amusement ride, with at least one water vessel which is preferably movable in the body of water, and having a float body which is borne by the water and which has seats for accommodating passengers, wherein a platform is provided which, in a rest state of the water amusement ride, protrudes out of the water surface.

Abstract: An amusement ride in the form of a boat regatta having a water-filled basin and boats traveling thereon with their own drive, where there is arranged in the basin a raisable platform which allows the boats to travel in the lowered position and lifts the boats out of the water in the travel breaks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water amusement ride (1), comprising at least one water vehicle (20) that can be moved in a body of water and a floating body (23) that is carried by water, having seats for accommodating passengers, wherein a platform (10) is provided, which extends out of the water surface (4) of the body of water when the water amusement ride (1) is in an idle state and is beneath the water surface (4) when in operation. An advantage of said invention is that the passengers can reach their seats in the water vehicles without getting wet feet when the water amusement ride is in an idle state.

Abstract: A water ride containing at least one watercraft is described, having at least a floating body and a chassis which is connected thereto in an articulated manner and which serves as a guide unit, and a guide for the chassis which runs in the water, and a drive for the watercraft, wherein the floating body is connected to the chassis via a connection unit which comprises flexible elements and which allows relative movements of the floating body with respect to the chassis, wherein arranged on the floating body and on the chassis are associated coupling elements which serve for rigidly connecting the floating body and the chassis in at least one relative position, and in that the coupling elements are designed in such a way that the floating body is fixed on the chassis after being lowered.

Abstract: A watercraft is described for a water-ride facility. The watercraft consists of a floating body 10, which is connected by an articulated connecting unit 20 to the undercarriage 30, in such a way that the position of the floating body 10 can be modified in the longitudinal and transverse directions, relative to the undercarriage, and can be modified with respect to its height, with the result the floating body 10 can execute rocking, swaying, and rolling movements comparable to a freely floating boat, despite being guided by the undercarriage 30. The undercarriage 30 is guided by means of rails 40 that are fixed in position. Outside of the water the floating body 10 can be firmly attached to the undercarriage 30 by means of coupling elements 14 and 34.

Abstract: The process described serves for producing a steel mold for concrete paving setts with so-called spacers, the individual mold chambers being cut out of a steel plate by flame cutting. Grooves are formed in the mold walls by means of the flame-cutting jet, by way of an arcuate movement of the same, the grooves defining the cross section of the spacers. The upper section of the grooves is filled in that closure platelets, of which the cross section corresponds approximately to the cross section of the groove and which exhibit welding projections on their side directed towards the groove, are welded into the groove by projection welding. The closure platelets consist of a strain-hardened unalloyed or low-alloyed steel.
