Hey guys I'm having a birthday party this weekend for my 1 year old and I really want to make a carnival style dunk tank. Wondering if you have any ideas for the target/seat latch mechanism, the simpler the better. Thanks for any help
Reply:sounds like any interesting project... you should be able to get some ideas from http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/004943064.pdfThe Welder Shop has great deals and reviews on Hobart, Miller and Lincoln Welders.
Reply:do you have to be a member to look at that stuff?

Reply:Maybe you could rent a dunk-tank?It'd be a job and a half to prototype and build one in a week.Although the vise-grip release -as described in the patent links Nosleepno and Buhler posted- solves the toughest engineering dilemma.Good call on the patent links:Attachment 23296Pretty good move... Weld a Vise-grip in your design and then patent the mechanism! Do you suppose "vice-grip" was a deliberate misspelling?Whatever you build, make sure the heckler can't hit his head on the way down!Good LuckLast edited by denrep; 10-19-2010 at 11:32 PM. |
