Abstract
An amusement device seat includes a seat and a bar construction, moveable between an access position to a passenger fixation position, in which the passenger is fixed in the seat. The assembly further includes a locking device to lock the bar construction at the passenger fixation position. The locking device includes an engagement device to engage and disengage with the bar construction and a guide for the engagement device allowing the engagement device to assume an engagement position between the access position and the passenger fixation position, and allowing the engagement device and the engaged bar construction to move between the engagement position to the passenger fixation position. The locking device includes a fixation device for fixing the engagement device and the engaged bar construction at multiple passenger fixation positions along the guide to accommodate passengers of different sizes.
