Passenger restraint for fairground rides has swivel guide levers coupled to restraint body to swivel about parallel spaced axes as parallelogram lever assembly to adapt to different body sizes

摘要

The restraint has a leg support (31b) to rest on the upper thighs and swivel guide levers (40,50). The first guide lever is fixed at one end to the restraint body (30) to swivel about a first upper axis (34) parallel to the lower axis (61) by which it swivels in front of the passenger. The second guide lever (50) is set at a distance from the first in a direction across the first lower axis and is connected to the restraint body to swivel about a second upper axis (35) parallel to and spaced from the first upper axis. The second lever is coupled at its other end to swivel in the foot area of the ride about a second lower axis (62) parallel to and spaced from the first lower axis. The restraint body can then be guided by the two guide levers in the manner of a parallelogram or trapeze lever assembly. The restraint can be swivelled between an opened and closed position through a linear actuator (70,71).
