ALONG A slippery slope GRAVITY DRIVEN movable carriage, ESPECIALLY SUMMER DOWNHILL

摘要

A gravity along a downward path traversable, drive-less car, especially summer toboggan, consists of an impeller (1) having chassis and a function of the rotational speed of the wheels (1) operable brake means for at least one wheel. In order to safely limit the maximum speed of the car, to prevent overheating of the brakes and to keep the brake wear as small as possible, it is proposed that the braking device consists of a disc brake with a hydraulic brake cylinder (14) and that the brake cylinder (14) via a control device with one of the rotational speed of the impellers (1) sensing hydraulic pressure can be applied.
