Abstract: The amusement ride for children has an open frame and a swinging passenger carriage suspended from a crossbar carried by two trolleys mounted in parallel tracks on the roof of the open frame. The passenger carriage has an upper platform rotatably mounted on a base platform, rotation of the upper platform being controlled manually by the passenger through rotation of a wheel mounted on a column having an end journaled into a bearing mounted in the base platform. A reversible motor is mounted on the roof frame, the shaft of the motor being connected to the crossbar by a crank and connecting rod to control translational movement of the trolleys, causing the passenger carriage to swing forward and backward. The combination of translational movement and swinging movement of the carriage with rotational movement of the upper platform provides a uniquely thrilling sensation for a child seated on the passenger carriage.

Abstract: An amusement ride device comprises a track composed of a pair of parallel rails and having a central axis extending between the rails, and a car adapted to travel along the track. The car includes a car body, a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels adapted to be rotated in contact with the rails, thereby allowing the car body to travel along the rails, a swinging frame, having the rear wheels rotatably supported on each end thereof and extending substantially at right angles to the advancing direction of the car, and a bogie shaft attached to the car body so as to extend in the advancing direction of the car and pivotally supporting the swinging frame.
