SUPPORT WITH BEARING SURFACE FOR SLALOM ON HOVER PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B60V1/00 A63G31/08 B60V3/04 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to hovercraft. Support with bearing surface for slalom on hover platform characterised in that box (1) of footing with bearing surface (2) is suspended on longitudinal cables (9, dwg. 2) and transverse cables (12, dwg. 3 and 4) or rests on them. Cables (9) and (12) are fixed in stands (10) with possibility to adjust cable tension. Relative layout of cables (9) and (12) creates bearing network structure of preset curvature in accordance with longitudinal and transverse profiles of slalom course. To side walls of box (1) air ducts (11, dwg. 2-4) of flexible material adhere which ducts communicate with box inner space. Fans supplying air to box (1) are driven by thermal engines. Exhaust manifolds of thermal engines feature branch lines to direct combustion products together with outdoor air into box (1) during atmospheric precipitation at low temperatures. Quantity of combustion products and air being directed into the box is adjusted depending on precipitation rate and air temperature.

EFFECT: intended for active rest and sport.

4 cl, 4 dwg
