[0020] Hereinafter, the lift riding platform 1 and the lift system 100 in the embodiment will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for members and parts having the same functions, and repeated description of the members and parts to which the same reference numerals are used will be omitted.

[0021] (Direction definition) In this specification, the direction from the rear end 11 of the lift boarding platform 1 (in other words, the end farther from the lift disembarking platform) to the front end 12 of the lift boarding platform 1 (in other words, the end closer to the lift disembarking platform) is defined as a "first direction DR1," and the direction opposite to the first direction DR1 is defined as a "second direction DR2." As illustrated in FIG. 2, the first direction DR1 coincides with the moving direction of the chair 113 on which the user sits.

[0022] In this specification, the width direction of the lift riding platform 1 is defined as the "third direction DR3."

[0023] (First embodiment) A lift ride platform 1A in the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 6. Fig. 1, Fig. 5, and Fig. 6 are schematic cross-sectional views showing the lift ride platform 1A in the first embodiment. Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 are schematic plan views showing the lift ride platform 1A in the first embodiment. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a wax application device 20.

[0024] The lift riding platform 1A in the first embodiment is equipped with a wax application device 20.

[0025] In the example shown in Fig. 1, the wax applicator 20 applies wax to the underside E1 of a sliding board E of a user A who is seated on a chair 113 attached to a conveying wire 111 of a lift 110. In this specification, the sliding board E includes skis and snowboards. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the sliding board E is attached to the user's feet via boots F.

[0026] In the example shown in FIG. 2, the wax applicator 20 is disposed directly below the track on which the chair 113 moves. In the example shown in FIG. 2, when the chair 113 moves in the first direction DR1, the sliding board E of the user A who is seated on the chair 113 also moves in the first direction DR1. Therefore, there is no need to provide a new conveying device for moving the sliding board E relative to the wax applicator 20. In addition, since there is no need to provide a new conveying device, it is possible to contribute to energy conservation and decarbonization.

[0027] In the first embodiment, a user gets on a chair 113 of a lift 110, and the chair 113 moves, thereby applying wax to the sliding board E. Thus, in the first embodiment, a lift riding platform 1A is provided that can apply wax to the underside E1 of a sliding board E without taking up the user's time or imposing a burden on the user. In this specification, "getting on" means getting on the lift 110 (more specifically, the chair 113), and "getting off" means getting off the lift 110 (more specifically, the chair 113).

[0028] (Optional configuration) Next, optional additional configurations that can be adopted in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0029] (Chair 113) In the example shown in FIG. 2, the chair 113 can accommodate a plurality of users, including a first user A and a second user B. In other words, the chair 113 has a first seat 113A on which the first user A sits, and a second seat 113B on which the second user B sits. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the wax applicator 20 is disposed in an area AR1 immediately below the moving path of the first seat 113A, and is disposed in an area AR2 immediately below the moving path of the second seat 113B. In this case, the wax applicator 20 can be used simultaneously by a plurality of users (A, B). For example, when a plurality of friends use the chair 113 together, it is possible to simultaneously apply wax to the respective gliding boards E of the plurality of users. Therefore, unlike conventional wax applicators, there is no need for the other friends to wait while wax is being applied to the friend's gliding board E. In the example shown in FIG. 2, chair 113 is a chair for two people, but chair 113 may be a chair for three people or a chair for four people.

[0030] (Wax application device 20) In the example shown in Fig. 2, the wax application device 20 includes a wax application roller 21 and a shaft 23 that supports the wax application roller 21 rotatably around a rotation axis AX1. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the rotation axis AX1 extends along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the chair 113 (more specifically, a third direction DR3). When the rotation axis AX1 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the chair 113, the orientation of the sliding board E in contact with the wax application roller 21 is likely to be maintained in a direction parallel to the first direction DR1.

[0031] In the example shown in Fig. 2, one wax application roller 21 is disposed across an area AR1 immediately below the movement track of the first seat portion 113A and an area AR2 immediately below the movement track of the second seat portion 113B. In this case, the number of parts constituting the wax application device 20 can be reduced. However, in the embodiment, a first wax application roller may be disposed in the area AR1 immediately below the movement track of the first seat portion 113A, and a second wax application roller different from the first wax application roller may be disposed in the area AR2 immediately below the movement track of the second seat portion 113B.

[0032] The waxing roller 21 may be a passive roller that is rotated by the sliding board E upon contact with the sliding board E. Alternatively, the lift riding platform 1A may include a drive 25 that rotates the waxing roller 21 (in other words, rotates the shaft 23).

[0033] 3, the drive device 25 rotates the wax application roller 21 and the shaft 23 about the rotation axis AX1 so that the movement direction ER1 of the upper end 21e of the wax application roller 21 coincides with the movement direction of the chair 113 (in other words, the first direction DR1). Since the movement direction ER1 of the upper end 21e of the wax application roller 21 coincides with the movement direction of the chair 113, the sliding board E and the wax application roller 21 are less likely to get caught.

[0034] The drive device 25 may rotate the wax application roller 21 and the shaft 23 about the rotation axis AX1 so that the moving speed of the upper end 21e of the wax application roller 21 in the first direction DR1 is equal to or faster than the moving speed of the chair 113 in the first direction DR1. In this case, it becomes even less likely that the sliding board E and the wax application roller 21 will get caught.

[0035] In the example shown in FIG. 3, the wax application device 20 includes a storage tank 27 for storing liquid wax D, and a lower end 21f of the wax application roller 21 is in contact with the liquid wax D in the storage tank 27.

[0036] The wax application roller 21 may be a sponge roller, or a brush roller having a brush extending in a direction away from the rotation axis AX1.

[0037] 4, the wax application roller 21 may include a first roller 21-1 and a second roller 21-2 disposed on the first direction side of the first roller 21-1. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the second roller 21-2 is disposed parallel to the first roller 21-1.

[0038] In the example shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the wax applicator 20 is a device that applies liquid wax D. Alternatively, the wax applicator 20 may be a device that applies solid wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E. In addition, in the example shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the wax applicator 20 has a wax applicator roller 21. Alternatively, or in addition, the wax applicator 20 may have a nozzle that sprays liquid wax toward the back surface E1 of the sliding board E. In the example shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the storage tank 27) is embedded in the base portion 13 of the lift ride platform 1A. By embedding the wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the storage tank 27) in the base portion 13, the protrusion amount of the wax applicator 20 from the upper surface 13u of the base portion 13 can be reduced.

[0039] (1st mark 31) 5, the lift boarding platform 1A includes a first mark 31 that indicates the boarding position of the user. The first mark 31 is composed of, for example, an orange rectangle and a green rectangle.

[0040] In the example shown in FIG. 5, the distance L1 between the first mark 31 and the wax applicator 20 is 2 m or more and 30 m or less, or 6 m or more and 20 m or less. By making the distance L1 2 m or more or 6 m or more, the user can adjust the position of the buttocks after sitting on the chair 113, and then concentrate on applying wax to the sliding board E with ease. In addition, the total length of the lift boarding platform 1A may be longer than the total length of a general lift boarding platform in response to the distance L1 being 2 m or more or 6 m or more. In addition, by making the distance L1 30 m or less or 20 m or less, the total length of the lift boarding platform 1A does not become excessively long.

[0041] (Height of wax applicator) In the example shown in FIG. 6, the height of the wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the height of the upper end 21e of the wax applicator roller 21) is set to a height that allows the user to select between applying wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E and not applying wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E by lifting the sliding board E. More specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 6, a user C in a normal posture can apply wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E, and a user A in a posture with his knees raised can avoid applying wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E. For example, a user A who has applied wax to the back surface E1 of his own sliding board E beforehand can avoid applying wax to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E in an overlapping manner.

[0042] For example, the distance H1 between the upper end 21e of the wax application roller 21 and the seat surface of the chair 113 (in other words, the upper surface of the seat of the chair 113) is set to 30 cm or more and 75 cm or less, or 40 cm or more and 65 cm or less.

[0043] Second Embodiment A lift ride platform 1B in the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figures 7 and 8 are schematic cross-sectional views showing the lift ride platform 1B in the second embodiment.

[0044] In the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and a repetitive description of the matters already described in the first embodiment will be omitted. Therefore, it goes without saying that the matters already described in the first embodiment can be adopted in the second embodiment even if they are not explicitly described in the second embodiment.

[0045] The lift riding platform 1B in the second embodiment (1) includes a wax applicator 20 capable of applying wax to the underside E1 of the sliding board E of a user who is seated on a chair 113 attached to a conveying wire 111 of a lift 110. (2) The wax applicator 20 is disposed directly below the track along which the chair 113 moves.

[0046] Therefore, the lift ride platform 1B in the second embodiment has the same effects as the lift ride platform 1A in the first embodiment.

[0047] (Snow removal device 40) The lift riding platform 1B in the second embodiment is equipped with a snow removal device 40 that removes snow from the sliding board E. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the snow removal device 40 is disposed between the user's riding position (31) and the wax application device 20.

[0048] When the snow removal device 40 is disposed between the user's riding position (31) and the wax application device 20, snow can be removed from the sliding board E after the user sits on the chair 113. By removing snow from the sliding board E, wax can be suitably applied to the sliding board E.

[0049] In the example shown in Fig. 7, the snow removal device 40 includes an air blowing device 40a that blows air (see arrow ER2 in Fig. 7) toward the underside E1 of the sliding board E. The air blown by the air blowing device 40a may be hot air obtained by heating air.

[0050] Alternatively or additionally, the snow removal device 40 may include a snow removal roller 40b rotatable about a second rotation axis AX2. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the snow removal roller 40b is a brush roller with brushes extending in a direction away from the second rotation axis AX2. The second rotation axis AX2 is parallel to the third direction DR3. The lift ride platform 1A may include a drive device for rotating the snow removal roller 40b.

[0051] The snow removal roller 40b may be a heated roller that is at a temperature higher than room temperature. Alternatively, or in addition, the snow removal device 40 may include a heater.

[0052] 7 and 8, the snow removal device 40 is embedded in the base portion 13 of the lift riding platform 1B. By embedding the snow removal device 40 in the base portion 13, the amount of protrusion of the snow removal device 40 from the upper surface 13u of the base portion 13 can be reduced.

[0053] (Third embodiment) A lift ride platform 1C in the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the lift ride platform 1C in the third embodiment.

[0054] In the third embodiment, the differences from the first and second embodiments will be mainly described, and the repetitive description of the matters already described in the first or second embodiment will be omitted. Therefore, it goes without saying that the matters already described in the first or second embodiment can be adopted in the third embodiment even if they are not explicitly described in the third embodiment.

[0055] The lift riding platform 1C in the third embodiment (1) includes a wax applicator 20 capable of applying wax to the underside E1 of the sliding board E of a user who is seated on a chair 113 attached to a conveying wire 111 of a lift 110. (2) The wax applicator 20 is disposed directly below the track along which the chair 113 moves.

[0056] Therefore, the lift ride platform 1C in the third embodiment has the same effects as the lift ride platform 1A in the first embodiment.

[0057] (Drying device 50, scraping device 60) The lift ride platform 1C in the third embodiment includes a drying device 50 and / or a scraping device 60 arranged on the first direction DR1 side of the wax application device 20. The drying device 50 dries the liquid wax and fixes it on the sliding board E. The scraping device 60 scrapes off excess wax adhering to the sliding board E. The scraping makes the sliding surface of the sliding board E smoother.

[0058] In the example shown in Fig. 9, the drying device 50 includes an air blowing device 50a that blows hot air (see arrow ER3 in Fig. 9) toward the back surface E1 of the sliding board E. Alternatively or additionally, the drying device 50 may include a heater.

[0059] In the example shown in FIG. 9, the scraping device 60 includes a scraping roller 60a that can rotate around a third rotation axis AX3. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the scraping roller 60a is a brush roller with a brush that extends in a direction away from the third rotation axis AX3. The third rotation axis AX3 is parallel to the third direction DR3. The lift ride platform 1A may include a second drive device 65 that rotates the scraping roller 60a around the third rotation axis AX3.

[0060] Alternatively, or additionally, the scraping device 60 may include a scraper, such as a spatula.

[0061] 9, the scraping device 60 is disposed on the first direction DR1 side of the drying device 50. Alternatively, the scraping device 60 may be disposed on the second direction DR2 side of the drying device 50. In addition, one of the scraping device 60 and the drying device 50 may be omitted.

[0062] 9, the drying device 50 and / or the scraping device 60 are embedded in the base portion 13 of the lift ride platform 1C. By embedding the drying device 50 and / or the scraping device 60 in the base portion 13, the protrusion amount of the drying device 50 and / or the scraping device 60 from the upper surface 13u of the base portion 13 can be reduced.

[0063] (Fourth embodiment) A lift ride platform 1D in the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are schematic cross-sectional views showing the lift ride platform 1D in the fourth embodiment.

[0064] In the fourth embodiment, the differences from the first to third embodiments will be mainly described, and the repeated description of the matters already described in the first, second, or third embodiments will be omitted. Therefore, it goes without saying that the matters already described in the first, second, or third embodiments can be adopted in the fourth embodiment, even if they are not explicitly described in the fourth embodiment.

[0065] The lift ride platform 1D in the fourth embodiment includes a cover member 70 that covers a part or the whole of the wax application device 20 (more specifically, the wax application roller 21) in addition to the configuration of the lift ride platform 1 in any one of the first to third embodiments. The cover member 70 prohibits the use of a part or the whole of the wax application device 20.

[0066] For example, in the coldest season, the snow quality may be good (e.g., powdery snow), making the wax application device 20 unnecessary. In this case, as illustrated in Fig. 10, the wax application device 20 (more specifically, the wax application roller 21) may be entirely covered with a cover member 70 to prohibit use of the wax application device 20.

[0067] With the entire wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the wax applicator roller 21) covered with the cover member 70, the chair 113 is pulled by the conveying wire 111, so that the user's sliding board E passes directly above the cover member 70. Therefore, the sliding board E does not get caught on the wax applicator 20.

[0068] In order to prevent the slide E from getting caught on the cover member 70, the upper surface 71 of the cover member 70 may have an inclined surface that increases in height toward the direction of travel of the chair 113 (in other words, the first direction DR1).

[0069] In the example shown in FIG. 11, a part of the wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the wax applicator roller 21) is covered with a cover member 70, and the use of a part of the wax applicator 20 is prohibited. More specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the first cover member 70a is arranged in an area AR1 immediately below the movement track of the first seat portion 113A. On the other hand, the wax applicator 20 (more specifically, the wax applicator roller 21) is exposed in an area AR2 immediately below the movement track of the second seat portion 113B. In this case, a user who does not need to apply wax can sit on the first seat portion 113A, and a user who needs to apply wax can sit on the second seat portion 113B.

[0070] In addition, from the viewpoint of being able to select which area of ​​the wax application device 20 (more specifically, the wax application roller 21) to cover, the cover member 70 may have a plurality of cover members including a first cover member 70a and a second cover member 70b. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the first cover member 70a is arranged so as to cover a part of the wax application device 20, and the second cover member 70b is removed from the wax application device 20. The upper surface 71 of each of the first cover member 70a and the second cover member 70b may have an inclined surface whose height increases toward the traveling direction of the chair 113 (in other words, the first direction DR1).

[0071] Fifth embodiment A lift ride platform 1E in the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the lift ride platform 1E in the fifth embodiment.

[0072] In the fifth embodiment, the differences from the first to fourth embodiments will be mainly described, and the repetitive description of the matters already described in the first, second, third, or fourth embodiments will be omitted. Therefore, it goes without saying that the matters already described in the first, second, third, or fourth embodiments can be adopted in the fifth embodiment, even if they are not explicitly described in the fifth embodiment.

[0073] The lift boarding platform 1E in the fifth embodiment has the configuration of the lift boarding platform 1 in any one of the first to fourth embodiments, a first boarding entrance 81 for a user who uses the wax application device 20, and a second boarding entrance 82 for a user who does not use the wax application device 20. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the lift boarding platform 1E is provided with a first mark 31 indicating the boarding position of a user who uses the first boarding entrance 81, and a second mark 32 indicating the boarding position of a user who uses the second boarding entrance 82.

[0074] For example, in the coldest season, the snow quality may be good (for example, the snow may be powdery snow), and the wax application device 20 may not be necessary. In this case, all users may use the second boarding gate 82.

[0075] Alternatively, the user may be allowed to select one of the first boarding entrance 81 and the second boarding entrance 82. In other words, a user who uses the wax application device 20 may board the chair 113 from the first boarding entrance 81, and a user who does not use the wax application device 20 may board the chair 113 from the second boarding entrance 82.

[0076] Sixth embodiment A lift system 100 in the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a schematic two-sided view showing the lift system 100 in the sixth embodiment. A schematic plan view is shown in the upper part of Fig. 13, and a schematic cross-sectional view is shown in the lower part of Fig. 13.

[0077] The lift system 100 in the sixth embodiment includes (1) the lift boarding platform 1 in any one of the first to fifth embodiments, (2) the lift disembarking platform 9, (3) a conveying wire 111, (4) a plurality of chairs 113 attached to the conveying wire 111, and (5) a wire driving device 117 that drives the conveying wire 111. (6) The conveying wire 111, the plurality of chairs 113, and the wire driving device 117 function as a drying facility that dries the wax applied to the back surface E1 of the sliding board E.

[0078] The lift ride platform 1 includes a first wheel 15 around which the conveying wire 111 is wound. The first wheel 15 functions as a wire driving device 117. In other words, the first wheel 15 is a driving wheel.

[0079] The lift disembarking platform 9 is disposed at a higher position than the lift boarding platform 1. The lift disembarking platform 9 includes a second wheel 95 around which the conveying wire 111 is wound.

[0080] The conveying wire 111 is wound around the first wheel 15 and the second wheel 95, and moves along the circulation path. A plurality of chairs 113 are attached to the conveying wire 111. Thus, the plurality of chairs 113 move along the circulation path together with the conveying wire 111. The conveying wire 111 is driven by a wire driving device 117 (more specifically, the first wheel 15).

[0081] The conveying wire 111, the multiple chairs 113, and the wire drive 117 move the user's sliding board E through the air. The conveying wire 111, the multiple chairs 113, and the wire drive 117 move the user's sliding board E through the air for a sufficient period of time (e.g., 5 minutes or more). This movement through the air dries the wax applied to the sliding board E, and the wax becomes fixed to the sliding board E.

[0082] The sixth embodiment has the same effect as any one of the first to fifth embodiments. In addition, in the sixth embodiment, the wax applied to the user's gliding board E is dried simply by the user sitting on the chair 113 of the lift 110. Therefore, in the sixth embodiment, the wax applied to the back surface E1 of the gliding board E can be dried without taking up the user's time or imposing a burden on the user. In the sixth embodiment, the wax applied to the back surface E1 of the gliding board E is dried by the air movement of the gliding board E. Therefore, there is no need to place a wax drying device on the lift riding platform 1, or the wax drying device placed on the lift riding platform 1 can be made smaller.

[0083] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments or modifications, and it is clear that each embodiment or modification can be appropriately modified or changed within the scope of the technical idea of ​​the present invention. In addition, various techniques used in each embodiment or modification can be applied to other embodiments or other modifications as long as no technical contradiction occurs. Furthermore, any additional configuration in each embodiment or modification can be omitted as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
