  • Publication number: 20220249964
    Abstract: A motion simulator for an entertainment system has a movable platform with one or more viewing positions and a supporting element for spectators to lean against. The platform is mounted on a support so as to have limited movability. A drive for moving the movable platform relative to the support has a cable drive fastened on the one hand to the support and on the other hand via at least one attachment point to the platform. An energy storage device is fastened between the support and the platform. The drive device pivots the platform about a pivot axis oriented substantially orthogonally to a central axis. The attachment point of the energy storage device and the point(s) of the cable drive device to the platform are arranged between the first pivot axis and the front face. The energy storage device pushes against the bottom face of the platform.

  • Patent number: 9393497
    Abstract: An entertainment device includes a screen on which a film can be shown, a movable simulation platform, a multiplicity of audience places or locations disposed on the simulation platform, each place or location having a supporting element for spectators to lean against, a drive device for moving the simulation platform, and a controlling or regulating unit for controlling or regulating the movement of the simulation platform. The movable simulation platform can be moved by the drive device under control of the controlling or regulation unit in dependence on a motion data track corresponding to the film. The simulation platform is suspended from cables which can be moved by the drive device.
