Description

The invention relates to a device for freely movable hanging of living Figures that are used for theater, shows, and also as gymnastics equipment for orthopedic institutions, Schools, baths and as a means of amusement for children, adults and people Playgrounds is suitable. It deals with four solving the problem of a living person to hang freely floating in such a way that it is of its own accord, without external influence Bend forwards or backwards, perform swimming movements or other gymnastics, or roll over completely can.

With devices of a known type, in which axes of rotation, on which suspension means are attached, are attached to the hip area of the suspended figure, the task cannot be completely solved, in particular gymnastics or the like up to the horizontal position, swimming movements, wheel turning, etc. are impossible, as the initial balance cannot be regained without supporting the feet. Therefore, according to the invention, access to the mounted in the hip axes of rotation further, under the soles pass recirculated to the rotational axes \ ^r erschnürungen on. The axes of rotation are completely freely rotatable in order to enable changes in the position of the suspended shape without external mechanical interference.

The drawing shows embodiments of the suspension and moving device according to FIG the invention.

Fig. Ι and 2 show two views of the overall arrangement. Fig. 3 illustrates the scheme of the cable pull. Fig. 4 shows the suspended figure on a larger scale. In Figs. 5 and 6 show details of the suspension device on a larger scale. Figs. 7 to 10 illustrate details in different designs.

The figure to be hung wears a pair of trousers combined with a camisole (Fig. 4), on which in the area of the hips! A stub axle O, O ₁ (Fig. 1 and 3) is attached on both sides in the manner indicated below. From the stub axles O, O ₁ J, traction devices T, T _{1 lead} along both sides of both upper and lower legs to ^!

j sole where stirrups K, K _{1 are} formed. The traction means are made of a suitably stable material (metal, silk, hemp cords, strings, chains, belts, straps or the like) and are guided below the sole in such a way that the sole is not injured. They are also pressed to the thighs below the knee by strong garters. The guided along on the outer sides of the legs of pulling means be loaded on the lying on the same side hip inner traction means on the opposite ^hip: consolidates. Likewise, the suspension cords X, X _{1 are} attached to the stub axles O, O ₁ , namely on the outside. The fastening of the lacing T, T ₁ and the suspension means X, X ₁ to the stub axles O, O ₁ takes place in a manner that allows free rotation. After the suspended figure rotates in the relatively fixed suspension means when the device is in use, the ties T, T _{1 can} be attached separately or combined or otherwise attached to the hips, but both the ties T, T ₁ and the suspension means X, are expedient. X _{1 placed} around rollers that are loosely placed on the stub axles O, O ₁ .

The person suspended in this way feels no pain or pressure and neither does no dizziness, it has even been shown to feel completely safe connects with the feeling of a pleasant weightlessness, so that the suspension arouses an extremely pleasant feeling. After a few "rehearsals", the person who is hung up can do it almost without any exercise forward or backward at any desired angle without external help tend to remain in the position reached, assume every imaginable pose, body bend, Perform all kinds of rotations; It can also move forward or slowly or quickly flip backwards.

The device therefore offers an excellent means not only for theater and artist productions and other shows, but also for gymnastics and entertainment.
The suspended figure is in

upright position, the weight rests on the bracket K ₁ K ₁ ; In the case of the forward or backward inclination, the weight is carried by the front or back of the clothing, in the case of head positions by the shoulder portion, in the sitting position by the trousers. So if the movements to be carried out forwards and backwards do not exceed the horizontal position, that can

ίο combined camisole and trousers through a wide belt around the waist can be replaced. The use of such a Belt is particularly useful if the device - as in popular amusements, For example, carousels or the like - be attached to people in street clothes target.

The device by means of which the stub axles O ₁ O ₁ are attached to the trousers or to the belt is shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 8.

A piece of canvas or leather R to which a metal plate N is attached by rivets P is attached to the fabric of the leg dress. The stub axles O, O ₁ are attached to this plate. The ends of the ties T ₁ T ₁ are fastened directly or by means of rollers to the stub axles O ₁ O ₁ , as are the suspension means X ₁ X ₁ . A washer Z, which is secured by a split pin, forms the end. In order not to exert any pressure on the body, the space between the trousers or the belt and the piece of canvas or leather R at N is padded.

When using the device for exhibitions, the lacing T ₁ T _{1 must} consist of the thinnest and most invisible steel wire possible, otherwise straps or belts can be used as lacing (Fig. 7 and 8), which are then attached to the stub axles by means of washers F ₁ F O ₁ O _{1 are} attached. Fig. 7 shows by broken lines the mounting of both belts T ₁ T ₁ on a common pulley P. The suspension means X ₁ X ₁ are also made depending on the use of thin wires (Fig. 5 and 6) or belts or straps (Fig. 7 till 9). In order to facilitate the hooking of the suspension means X ₁ X ₁ attached hook G (Fig. 9) or ^r with a corresponding cutout bajonettverschlußartigem \ ersehene iron plates can (Fig. 10) at the end to be attached.

L ^ m to be able to move the suspended figure at will, especially at shows, the suspension device is connected to the moving device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. With this device you can achieve flight, swimming, hovering on the stage, whereby almost invisible steel wires have to be used for suspension and movement. Be on both sides of the stage. Rolls B ₁ C attached at a great height. An endless rope is passed over these rollers, at the point Y of which a trapezoid bearing the suspension means X ₁ X _{1 is attached.} ; The ends of the rope lead to rope drums D ₁ D. The rope is expediently returned from j the roller C via a guide roller A to: roller B , so that the rope drums D ₁ D lie one behind the other and from one; Side of the stage can be operated, ι In Fig. Ι the drums D ₁ D are not shown behind one another but side by side for the sake of clarity. The rope is provided with counterweights S, S , which each correspond to about half the weight of the suspended figure. Thereby the whole thing is balanced; the suspended figure remains in any position and can be moved without any particular force. Below the counterweight 6 ¹ , the dashed part of the rope around one of the drums D _{1 is} then placed over the roller A or B and returned to the counterweight .S ¹ , to which the end of the rope is fastened. Proceed in the same way with the other end of the rope. Because the two drums D ₁ D are rotated forward or backward at the same time, the suspended figure, which is now able to perform any movements around the stub axles O ₁ O ₁ , can be raised or lowered at any speed and / or over the stage moved forward or backward.
