A ride vehicle for an attraction of an amusement park includes a ride seat, a pivot adapter configured to rotate relative to the ride seat, a gear of the pivot adapter comprising a first set of teeth, a passenger restraint piece coupled to the pivot adapter and configured to rotate with the pivot adapter between a closed and an open position, and a cap having a second set of teeth. The cap is configured to be positioned to engage the gear of the pivot adapter such that the second set of teeth of the cap engages with the first set of teeth of the gear, and engagement between the second set of teeth and the first set of teeth substantially blocks movement of the pivot adapter relative to the ride seat in a rotational direction.

A restraint barricade control system may include a restraint barricade configured to be mounted to a motor vehicle at or adjacent to an occupant access opening thereof, the restraint barricade having an non-deployed state and a deployed state, at least one sensor configured to produce at least one sensor signal corresponding to movement of the motor vehicle relative to at least one axis of an axis system of the motor vehicle, at least one actuator operatively coupled to the restraint barricade, a processor operatively coupled to the at least one sensor and to the at least one actuator, and a memory having instructions therein which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to activate the at least one actuator to deploy the restraint barricade from the non-deployed state to the deployed state based on the at least one sensor signal.

Passenger restraint systems are provided. The restraint systems can include: a passenger seat supported by a frame; a restraint bar pivotably attached to the frame; and at least one piston operably engaged between the restraint bar and the frame. Restraint system pistons are provided. The pistons can include: a central chamber housing a piston head and rod; a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the central chamber; and at least one electromechanical valve operable between an open and a closed position. Methods for restraining a passenger within a seat are also provided.

Manually operable piston assemblies are provided that can include a piston head within a cylinder, the piston head separating fluid in the cylinder to define rod-side fluid and head-side fluid. The piston assembly can be configured to operate in at least six positions, including but not limited to a first position of locking retract static; a second position of locking retract extend flow; a third position of locking retract flow; a fourth position of locking extend static; a fifth position of locking extend retract flow; and a sixth position of locking extend flow. Manually operable piston assemblies are also provided that can include a piston head within a cylinder, with the piston head separating fluid in the cylinder to define rod-side fluid and head-side fluid. The manually operable piston assembly can further be configured to operate in at least six positions that include a first position of locking extend static; a second position of extend movement flow; a third position of manual override retract flow; a fourth position of manual override extend flow; a fifth position of locking retract static; and a sixth position of retract movement flow.

Methods for operating a manually operable piston are also provided. The methods can include applying pressure to retract the piston rod and allow head-side fluid to pass through piston head passageway and mix with rod-side fluid. Methods for operating a manually operable piston can also include applying pressure to extend or retract the piston rod and allow head-side fluid to pass through at least one valve and mix with rod-side fluid.

A passenger restraint device of a fairground ride passenger unit, which has a passenger space, includes a position-adjustable restraint element and a lockable hydraulic adjuster which acts on the restraint element and has a cylinder-piston unit and a hydraulic accumulator. The hydraulic accumulator and the cylinder-piston unit of the hydraulic adjuster form a structural unit in that the cylinder of the cylinder-piston unit and a cylinder of the hydraulic accumulator arranged next to and parallel to the cylinder are part of an integrated cylinder assembly. The integrated cylinder assembly has a connection block with a switching plate on an axial end face, wherein the hydraulic accumulator is configured as a single unit and is detachably mounted on the switching plate.

A roof airbag apparatus may include: a first-row deployment part deployed from the front to the rear of a roof so as to cover a front area, when gas is supplied from a gas supply part; a second-row deployment part coupled to a front end of the first-row deployment part so as to communicate with the first-row deployment part, and configured to cover a rear area which is deployed to the rear when the first-row deployment part is deployed; and an auxiliary deployment part coupled to a top or bottom surface of the first-row deployment part so as to communicate with the first-row deployment part, and configured to increase/decrease the top-to-bottom thickness of the first-row deployment part, when deployed.

An airbag device for a panorama roof may include: a roller disposed under a panorama roof and having a blind wound therearound, the blind serving to cover the panorama roof; a head liner covering the roller; an inflator disposed between the panorama roof and the roller; a guide tunnel connected to the inflator to guide gas; and a cushion connected to the guide tunnel, and deployed by gas guided through the guide tunnel so as to cover the panorama roof.

A ride vehicle for an amusement park includes a restraint system. The restraint system includes a first conformable component configured to be disposed over a first lower portion of a guest's body. The restraint system further includes a behind-the-knee component configured to be disposed behind a leg of the guest. The restraint system additionally includes a linkage mechanism configured to move the first conformable component, the behind-the-knee component, or a combination thereof, to secure the restraint system to the guest.

The invention relates to a secondary bar securing device (3) of a safety bar (4) of an amusement ride, comprising: a primary securing device which keeps the safety bar (4) in an angular position that is adapted to the anatomy of the passenger during travel of the amusement ride, at least one first blocking element (21) and at least one second blocking element (22), wherein the at least one first blocking element (21) and the at least one second blocking element (22) are arranged at a distance (25) to each other, wherein, in the event of a malfunction of the primary securing device, the safety bar (4) can be moved in a tolerance opening angle, wherein the tolerance opening angle correlates to the distance (25) between the at least one first and the at least one second blocking element (21, 22), and, wherein, if the tolerance opening angle is exceeded, the at least one first blocking element (21) and the at least one second blocking element (22) block the safety bar (4).
