ADJUSTABLE LOUNGE GARDEN SWING
The present invention is an adjustable lounge garden swing having a fixed support structure and a seat support pivotally suspended from the support structure on a single pivot axis to provide a pendular movement when in motion. At least one lounge seat is pivotally coupled to the support structure where the lounge seat has a seating portion and a backrest portion that are fixed relative to one another but adjustable relative to the seat support to adjust the reclination angle of lounge seat. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lounge seat for a garden swing that has an adjustable reclination angle relative to the seat support and is positionable at a selected reclination angle through a reclination adjustor.
Amusement ride interactions
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may include an operating system of an amusement ride. In certain implementations, the apparatus may receive first information associated with a motion of the amusement ride. The apparatus may determine whether the motion of the amusement ride meets at least one threshold criterion. The apparatus may receive second information indicating at least one of a set of objects or a set of user characteristic upon determining that the motion of the amusement ride meets the at least one threshold criterion. The apparatus may output an amusement ride interaction based at least in part on the at least one of the set of objects or the set of user characteristics indicated by the second information.

Multi-level play equipment
A play apparatus has plural types of elevated equipment, namely a ropes course and a zip coaster. Both types of elevated equipment have respective user safety supports that extend along the respective equipment and receive a safety harness worn by a user. The user need not change safety harnesses to use the different types of equipment. The entry and exit locations for the elevated equipment are in a common area elevated above the ground. A third type of equipment, namely an obstacle course, is located under and above the common area.

SMART PLAYGROUND WITH USER ACTIVATED FEATURES AND RELATED METHODS
A playground structure may include a body, a piezoelectric sensor carried by the body and configured to detect a touch input on adjacent portions of the body, and an output device configured to generate audio indicators. The playground structure may include a controller coupled to the output device and the piezoelectric sensor and configured to selectively change the audio indicators based upon the touch input.
Playground stand-up swing apparatus and method
A stand-up swing assembly includes a pair of horizontal support bars that are suspended from above by suspension lines. A pair of foot support members are suspended from the support bars so that the foot support members may swing independently from one another. Spacer bars may be positioned above the horizontal support bars to separate the suspension lines for the front support bar from the suspension lines for the rear support bar. The foot support members may take the form of any desired shape, including that of a human foot, a bear paw, or the like, and the suspension lines attached between the foot support members and the horizontal support bars may have elastic properties so that they may stretch and bounce back into a relaxed state.
