  • Patent number: 5161104
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for moving passengers in and out of an amusement ride of the type having a passenger cabin capable of movement in multiple degrees of freedom within an enclosure. The cabin includes ingress doors on one side of the cabin and egress doors on the other side to admit and discharge passengers from seats within the cabin. Another set of ingress and egress doors are provided on opposite sides of the enclosure in respective alignment with the ingress and egress doors of the cabin when the cabin is at rest in a loading position. A plurality of ingress and egress platforms, located outside the operating envelope of the cabin when the cabin is in motion, are adapted to be moved to a deployed position when the cabin is in the loading position to connect the ingress and egress doors of the enclosure with the ingress and egress doors of the cabin. In this way, movement of passengers in and out of the cabin, which is spaced from the enclosure, is provided in a rapid and orderly fashion.

  • Patent number: 4945003
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition which crosslinks upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The coating composition comprises: (A) from 1 to 5 percent of a saturated, chlorinated polymeric material selected from the group consisting of (1) a chlorinated polyolefin containing about 5 to 75 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, (2) a chlorinated polyolefin containing carboxylic anhydride groups and about 5 to 25 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, and (3) a mixture thereof; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.0 percent of a photopolymerization initiator; and (D) from 80 to 20 percent of an acrylic addition polymer having at least one amino group and having a number average molecular weight of about 8,000-70,000.

  • Patent number: 4921726
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coating composition which crosslinks upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation to produce a transparent coating. The coating composition comprises: (A) from 4 to 10 percent of an oxalanilide ultraviolet light (UV) stabilizer dissolved in the coating composition, the UV stabilizer corresponding to the formula ##STR1## in which R is C.sub.6-22 alkyl or C.sub.6-22 alkoxy, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-8 alkyl, C.sub.1-12 alkoxy, C.sub.1-12 alkylthio, phenoxy or phenylthio, provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may not both be selected from alkylthio, phenoxy and phenylthio, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-8 alkyl; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.

  • Patent number: 4833038
    Abstract: A metallized plastic substrate having directly adhered to the metallized surface thereof, a transparent, cross-linked film from a coating composition comprises: (A) from 4 to 10 percent of an oxalanilide ultraviolet light (UV) stabilizer dissolved in the coating composition, the UV stabilizer corresonding to the formula ##STR1## in which R is C.sub.6-22 alkyl or C.sub.6-22 alkoxy, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-8 alkyl, C.sub.1-12 alkoxy, C.sub.1-12 alkylthio, phenoxy or phenylthio, provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may not both be selected from alkylthio, phenoxy and phenylthio, and R.sub.3 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-8 alkyl; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.
