DESCRIPTION
2.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE AMUSEMENT RIDE
The carousel has a round footprint with a pavement diameter of m 10,50 ( 34' 5" ).
It consists of two overlapped rotating floors, of 14 sectors each, onto which various figures (such
as horses, spinning tubs and chariots and benches) (pos.2, fig.2-1) are fixed.
The load bearing structure consist of a central column that is anchored to a basement crossing
structure by means of four struts. The rotating structure consist of two floors (pos.3, fig.2-1)
suspended from the ground by means of tie bars and steel frames, all anchored to the roof.
The roof structure is anchored to the rotors of the central pillar and consist of No.14 cantilevered
brackets radially arranged. The roof cover (pos.4, fig.2-1) may consist of fiberglass panels or PVC
canvas.
The floor structure consists of ties in tubular steel supporting the panels in varnished solid wood.
The two overlapped floors are connected through two opposite staircases (pos.3, fig.2-1).
Part of the carousel’s figures are mechanically operated by crankshafts which are fastened to the
roof structure, above the ceiling panels.
These figures are made-out of fiberglass and interior steel supporting structure, hand-brush
decorated and clear coated.
The carousel’s structure is covered by ornamental and decorative fiberglass panels (pos.5, fig.2-1),
and decorated and clear coated.
Lighting is fixed to the ornamental panels and consist of plastic cabochons and LEDs.
Figure 2-1 Amusement ride view
2.1.1 Operation principle and cycle
The ride can be operated both in both Manual and Automatic mode, and by one operator.
The rotating structure rotates by means of No.1 electric motor controlled by Frequency drive, and
on counter-clockwise direction only.
Some figures (horses and chariots) are automatically moved by crankshafts which are operated by
electric motors controlled by Frequency Drive. Some other figures are of “Rocking” type (horses)
and spinning type (Tubs), therefore manually operated by the passengers.
When the operating cycle is over and the ride consequently stops, the figures moved by
crankshafts also stops and the spinning-tubs are stopped through the related electric brakes. The
spinning-tubs are also equipped with one over-speed detector each to limit the rotation in case of
misbehaving passengers.
When operated in Automatic mode, the ride automatically stops when the pre-set time is over,
approximately on the same position the cycle was started.
Rotation speed can be adjusted by the Supervisor up to the maximum pre-set value of 4.5 RPM.
The operator may assist the passengers during loading and unloading procedure in order to make
sure all passengers are properly seated and children are secured with seat-belts.
