Background of the invention

Slides in playgrounds are manufactured in sizes specially designed for children. Thanks to the technology developed and the use of this idea, larger slides have been manufactured for both adults and children. Next, the large slides have passed from the sand parks to the water parks. Accordingly, the slide for entertainment and sports of users has been provided to fall into a swimming pool and, therefore, has been combined with swimming.

As you can see, there are landslide realizations that offer use with or without water in sand playgrounds

25 or water parks in the related technique. As for the state of the existing techniques in the literature, the following can be provided as an example.

Document US2005075180A1 discloses a sliding apparatus that includes a first slide, which may have a somewhat parabolic configuration that has a depression and / or a zig zag path. The zigzag path oriented and configured to change the direction of travel of a user. The slide can include two or more entries. Document US2009239671A1 discloses a water slide depression that has a fixed trajectory for the user from the entrance to the exit. The depression comprises a valley made of a plurality of sets of valley sections, joined together, in which the valley sections of a given set are equal and are joined together side by side, allowing the surface of the user's conductor for depression be

35 made of valley sections that have a small number of different shapes.

One of them is US Patent Publication 4196900. Said patent discloses improvements made on supports that contain elbows that reduce the costs of support legs that carry more slides.

Another example is the publication of patent number GB 2224948. Said patent discloses a slide that allows the free fall of the user comprising an entrance part for a person and an exit part in depression. However, as can be seen from the figures and the part of the patent summary, no more than one person can slip and the point of depression opens to a pool. The sliding depression part covers the pool completely. These types of slides do not allow sliding and racing with more than one person at

45 same time. In addition, since depression completely covers the pool, the outdoor pool becomes an indoor pool.

The water slides provided in the parks that have swimming pools allow the slipping of more than one person at the same time by riding in a boat or are riding in a boat due to its large surface area. The structure of such slides is changed by several members in various ways. However, spiral water slides are covered in a way that allows for the same distance, where more than one user slides separately without entering the lane of others and, therefore, can run without being seen. In addition, no additional embodiments have been seen in which the slope decreases at the end of the lane and the race can continue with the water direction. In addition, users who are going to slide have to wait in line

55 until the person who is sliding before they finish the race. This wait continues until the sliding rail is free so as not to damage the user ahead. In this case, the fact that the length of the slide is long makes the waiting time longer.

As a result, said disadvantages with respect to existing embodiments have made it necessary to make a development in the related art.

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the water slide have been described which consist of a sliding part of the rail (1), a sliding area of wide surface (2) and parts of exit-return turn of the slide (3) object of the invention in a way that does not form any restrictive effect and only for the purpose of a better understanding of the subject.

Figure 1 shows a complete view from the side of the water slide. The part that begins at the starting part of the slide (11) of the slide to the descending part (21) that is the beginning of the wide area sliding area (2) is the sliding part of the rail (1). As can be seen in the figure, the sliding part of the rail (1) preferably contains two spiral windings (12). A counterflow mouth has been placed

Deceleration 55 (13) towards the end of the sliding part of the rail (1) to provide countercurrent and, thereby, speed deceleration (see Figure 6).

As can be seen in figures 2 and 4, the rails (14.1, 14.2) that allow the race of at least two users or four as couples start from the starting part of the slide (11). Said first sliding rail (14.1) and second sliding rail (14.2) are separated from each other by means of a separation extension (14.3) extending from the central part in a line. Said shape also continues as a separation extension (24) on the sliding area of wide surface (2).

Figure 3 shows a top view of the water slide. As can be seen in the figure, the wide surface sliding zone (2) is in the form that widens first after the sliding part of the As it can be seen in figure 1, the wide surface sliding zone ( 2) contains a descending part

image5

5 (21) descending from the end of the sliding part of the rail (1), the central part (22) extending parallel to the ground after the descending part (21) and a lifting part (23) that rises afterwards of the central part (22). The exit / return part of the slide (3) has been constructed in closed form at the end of said lifting part (23). The exit ladder (25) is constructed in this part to preferably provide exit from the central part (22). A water outlet grid (26) that extends along the width of the wide surface sliding area (2) has been placed to provide the water cycle from the central part (22) and the additional water discharge . The exit / return part of the slide (3) is located at a certain height above the conveyor feet (4) after the lifting part (23) at the end of the wide area sliding area (2). Said exit / return part of the slide (3) is in the form of a cobra snake head and provides elevation of the users to that part and then its return.

15 Figure 5a shows a cross-sectional view of the open type (15.1) located in the sliding part of the rail (1) of the water slide. Since the invention preferably contains at least two sliding rails (14.1, 14.2), two areas separated from one another by means of the separation extension (14.3) as indicated in the figure. The walls (14.4) on the sides have been provided high in order to provide security in addition to the open top.

Figure 5b shows a cross-sectional view of the closed type (15.2) located in the sliding part of the rail (1) of the water slide. Since the invention preferably contains at least two sliding rails (14.1, 14.2), two separate upper part areas closed side by side by means of the extension of

25 separation (14.3) as indicated in the figure.

Thus, a closed type (15.2) and an open type (15.1) slide along the sliding part (1) of the rail has been provided. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a completely closed type slide (15.2) or a fully open type slide (15.1) can be provided along the sliding part of the rail (1).

Figure 5c shows a cross-sectional view of the central part of the open type (22,1) located in the sliding area of the wide surface (2) of the water slide. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, closed areas can also be provided in a wide surface sliding zone (2) as in the

35 sliding part of the rail (1).

The cobra snake-shaped water slide object of the invention is erected on carriers (4) connected from the required areas from the bottom. Said sliding part of the rail (1) is erected on carrier feet (4) of the type of cage system according to the area in which it will preferably be used. In the light of the figures, the detailed description of the invention is as follows. As is known, stairs are preferably used (not shown in the figure) to go to the starting point of the slide to start from a certain height. In this regard, the water slide of the invention begins with a start portion of the slide (11). The main water inlet (not shown in the figure) that provides water to the slide that is used for the slide is in the starting part of the slide (11).

45 Users enter the starting part of the slide (11). Users sit on the equipment, such as, preferably, an inflatable boat called a boat or raft, and begin to slide over the water. The conductor slides on the slide from the windlass (12) of decreasing slope and spiral from below and along the sliding orbit.

However, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the slide may not contain any spiral orbited windlass (12), instead of said spiral windlass (12) it may be in the form of a smooth path completely downwardly sloping downward. In another alternative embodiment of the invention, the slide rails (14.1, 14.2) may be adjacent to each other and also separated at one point and reattached at another

55 point

As also mentioned above, the slide of the invention comprises two sliding rails (14.1, 14.2) side by side. Each lane (14.1, 14.2) is designed to allow its use with inflatable boats capable of transporting two users at the same time. And this means that in total four users can slide on two sliding rails (14.1, 14.2) at the same time. Furthermore, although said two sliding rails (14.1, 14.2) contain windlass zones (12) to allow the run, they are at the same distance. Thus, users can also compete while sliding on the slide.

The windlass (12) of the slide can be made in the form of an open type slide (15.1) or a closed type slide 65 (15.2) or as shown in Figure 2, two combined types.

Users continue to slide down after passing the turnstiles (12). Before reaching the descending part (21) located at the beginning of the wide surface sliding zone (2), the users are slowed down by the backflow nozzles (13). Therefore, they enter the wide surface sliding zone

(2) in a safe and low speed manner, which provides additional security. Each sliding rail (14.1,

5 14.2) is designed in such a way that it contains a backflow counterflow mouth (13). The flow rate of the water supplied from said slowdown counterflow mouth (13) is the same on both sliding rails (14.1, 14.2). In this way, fair race conditions are guaranteed.

Once the users have been braked by means of said backflow mouths (13), they enter the descending part of

10 decreasing slope (21) of the wide area sliding area (2) at decreasing speed. However, they continue to slide over the wide area sliding area (2) under the effect of thrust forces created by kinetic energy and momentum gained. They can pass from the descending part (21) to the central part (22) from the central part (22) to the lifting part (23) due to this speed.

As mentioned, the wide surface sliding zone (2) comprises a descending part (21), central part (22) and lifting part (23). Users suffer forward and backward balancing in the wide-area sliding zone (2), as shown in Figure 3. The kinetic energy and the momentum of the users provide the performance of said action.

20 The wide surface sliding zone (2) can be used jointly by users (up to 4 users) who slide on both sliding rails (14.1, 14.2), as well as for the sliding part of the rail (1). Since there is a separation extension (24), it is possible to separate the zones in which both sliding rails (14.1, 14.2) end. The race also continues in this part. The length of the roll decreases as the speed decreases. Users who have lost speed exit the exit stairs (25) located on both edges

25 laterals of the central part (22) and, therefore, complete the entertainment and the race.

However, in an alternative embodiment as seen in Figure 1a, the following sliding rail (32) can be provided in a manner that continues after the exit / return portion of the slide (3). The user may continue to slide on the continuation slide in this alternative embodiment. The effect part

30 (31) which may contain various effects can be provided on said exit-return portion of the slide (3). The effects are fog, light and visual effects that increase emotion and entertainment.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention as can be seen in Figure 2a, an exit lane (33) is provided which provides exit instead of exit stairs (25) shown in Figure 2 located in both

35 lateral edges of the central part (22). Figure 3a shows a view of the alternative embodiment of the start portion of the slide (11). As can be seen from the figure, said starting part of the slide (11) cannot be separated from the central part a separation extension (14.3) but is an integral part.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, various effects, such as smoke effect, light effect apart from the effect part (31) can also be used on the desired parts in the slide.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sliding can be terminated with a closed terminal part such as a cobra head, in addition to ending with a different slide that can be added to said wide surface sliding zone (2) (see Figure 1a). ). From this last slide, users can reach

45 the pool or dry soft ground.

In preferred embodiments of the invention, a sliding apparatus can be used that provides sliding with wheels or sliding elements similar to a sled on a dry surface, instead of an inflatable boat that moves on water, for convenient use without water.
