end of the spring engaging an adjusting nut
32, by means of which the tension of the
spring may be adjusted. If desired, means
may be provided for adjusting the disk 29
5 radially of the disk 31 to regulate the speed
of rotation of the shaft 23.
Positioned beneath the wheel and between
the standards 10 are platforms 34, arranged
so that the cars or baskets will pass there-
10 between for convenience in loading and un-
loading the cars.
In the operation of the device, the weight
of the cars 24 will maintain them in a verti-
cal position during the rotation of the wheel
1 5 12, and as the disk 31 is held against rota-
tion with respect to this wheel, the disk 29
will be caused to rotate around the disk 21,
thereby imparting a rotary movement to the
car 24.
20 The invention is susceptible of various
changes in its form, proportions and minor
details of construction and the right is here-in reserved to make such changes as properly
fall within the scope of the appended claim.
Having described the invention what is 25
claimed is
An amusement device comprising a rota-
tably mounted main frame including trans-
versely disposed horizontal shafts arranged
around said frame in spaced relation, a sus- 30
pending frame carried by and capable of
rotation about said shaft, a car supported
by the suspending frame, a shaft having a
bearing in the suspending frame and con-
nected to said car, a slidably mounted spring 35
actuated gear mounted against rotation
upon the transverse shaft and a gear secured
to the car carrying shaft, whereby rotation
of the main frame will impart a horizontal
rotary movement to the car, and means for 40
tensioning the spring to control the speed of
rotation of the car.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
