Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0748641A2] Fairground ride in which the lifting mechanism (20,22) has a central lifting device (22) in the form of a piston rod which is movable and drivable in the direction of the central axis (6). The lifting device swivels all the outliers (12) in the same direction via connecting rods (24,28), and simultaneously causes a lifting and lowering motion. The lifting device is movable and drivable along the central axis. The connecting rods are coupled to the lifting device above the swivel axis (10) of the outlines.
