FERRIS WHEEL, UNITS THEREFOR AND DEVICE FOR INSTALLING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to the entertainment industry. A Ferris wheel comprises a rotating structure (1) with radial elements (2), passenger modules (3) which are arranged in groups, with the distances between said groups over the circumference exceeding the distances over the circumference between the passenger modules in the groups, a drive and a station. The radial elements (2) are V‑shaped in a plane perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the rotating structure and are connected in series with one another by flexible elements (5). The arms (6) of the radial elements are connected to one another by flexible or rigid elements (7). Support rollers (8) which are arranged so as to absorb lateral loads (wind loads) with a possibility of interacting with supports (9) which are arc-shaped in the vertical plane and are mounted on girders (10) fixed to bearings (11) are fixed to the radial elements. A station platform (12) is suspended on the girders (10).
