A playground structure that includes a plurality of panels coupled to a frame so as to form at least the majority of regular polygon surfaces included in a uniform polyhedral shape.

A play system includes a support structure, having a bottom end and a top end, vertically oriented relative to a surface such that the bottom end contacts the surface and the top end is above the surface. The play system includes a belt having flexible portions and rigid portions that forms an ascending structure around the inside of the support structure such that it ascends from the bottom end of the support structure to the top end of the support structure. The play system includes a plurality of clamps that couple the support structure and the belt.

A modular play set including a support beam for supporting one or more play equipments therealong, two or more support assemblies each supporting an end of the support beam above a support surface, the support assemblies each including one or more upright poles having a lower end for engagement with the support surface and an upper end remote from the lower end, a lateral support structure engaging the upper end of each pole, the lateral support structure having a support beam connection for connecting to one end of one or more of the support beams and extending by a predetermined distance transverse to the or at least one of the support beams connected thereto. A play equipment may be a swing having a pivot assembly mounted to the frame for pivoting about a substantially horizontal fixed axis; a swivel assembly operatively associated with the pivot assembly for pivoting about a swivel axis substantially orthogonal to the said fixed axis to pivot about the fixed axis; and a frame mounted to said swivel assembly for supporting a user, the frame having a platform spaced from the fixed axis a distance sufficient for a user to stand on the platform through which the swivel axis passes and a hanger portion operatively interposed between the platform and the swivel assembly and spaced from the swivel axis.

The present invention relates to an easily assembled and disassembled shade-providing structure, such as may be mounted to a playground assembly. The shade-providing structure comprises an outer frame defining an interior space and a canopy that may be positioned in that interior space. The canopy has one or more rods around its periphery, such as may be inserted through one or more pockets in the canopy fabric. Each of the outer frame and the rod(s) has a set of apertures configured to receive a locking fastener and a set of apertures configured to receive a jack screw or similar tensioning device. Accordingly, to assembly the structure, one or more jack screws can be used to provide the canopy with a desired tension and then locking fasteners can be used to secure the canopy to the outer frame.

The invention relates to a connector (10) for securing a rope (12) to a support structure (54), comprising a sleeve (16) which can be interlockingly and/or frictionally or integrally connected to a support structure element (56), and which has an inner casing surface (18) having at least one region (20) with an inner thread (22) and having at least one further region (24) for guiding a rope, as well as comprising a screw-in sleeve (32) which has an outer thread (34) at least in sections for screwing into the sleeve, and which also has an inner casing surface (36) for guiding a rope. An inner diameter (26) of the region (20) is larger than a further inner diameter (28) of the further region, and the regions are separated from one another at least in sections by a chamfer (30), such that at least one ball element (40) can be positioned between the chamfer, the screw-in sleeve and a rope that can be guided by the sleeve and the screw-in sleeve, and the guidable rope can be secured by means of traction by screwing the screw-in sleeve into the sleeve.

A stair and slide assembly includes a stair portion including a plurality of stairs, a slide portion including a slide with an entrance and an exit, and an assist bar positioned proximate the exit of the slide to assist a user with pivoting from the exit of the slide to the stair portion. The slide has a first portion extending substantially linearly from the entrance of the slide at an angle and a second portion extending from the first portion to the exit of the slide. The second portion transitions the slide from the angle of the first portion to substantially horizontal. The exit of the slide is configured to be positioned at a target height above a ground surface. The target height is between about 18 inches and about 30 inches.

A portable gym structure that is light weight and allows variable arrangement is disclosed. The portable gym structure is comprised of climbing walls and feet anchors for stability. The portable gym structure has variable configurations for different ages and abilities. The portable gym structure includes climbing walls that can be used for a slide or can be interchanged to be a climbing wall with variable climbing pieces.

A braided bridge includes a mounting cable. The braided bridge further includes a first component configured to couple to the mounting cable, where the first spoke component includes one or more spokes and a second spoke component configured to couple to the mounting cable. The one or more spokes of the first spoke component are configured to fold and couple the second spoke component to the first spoke component.
