A modular hinge and clip system that enhances a child's play and creates the ability to construct and build from the child's imagination.

An inflatable landing pad has an air mattress capable of sustaining an air pressure, and an air supply tube for supplying air from an inflatable play structure to the air mattress. The air mattress is separated into a plurality of sections by vented baffles. A proximal end of the air supply tube is sealably attached to the air mattress around an aperture for directing air into the air mattress, and the distal end of the air supply tube includes a coupling for connecting to an air supply port of the inflatable play structures. The air mattress is adapted to be positioned adjacent an exit portion of an inflatable play structure.

A play gym generally comprising a support bar assembly, a pad or mat, and at least one ancillary toy component. The support bar assembly is formed from a plurality of toy bars. The toy bars can be formed from a natural material such a wood or biopolymers. The toy bars can be pivotally attached at a hub that can include a locking mechanism. The ancillary toy components are configured to releasably attach to the toy bars of the support bar assembly. In example embodiments, the play mat is configured to be releasably coupled to the support bar assembly.

A foam play den includes a rectangular base having perimeter edges. Walls include two side panel walls, a front wall and a rear wall, where each of the walls have a linear bottom edge and a curved top edge and forms and arched-shaped panel covered by a fabric. A front half section of each curved top edge of each side panel wall is attached to a top edge section of the front wall. A back half section of each side panel wall edge is attached to a top edge section of the back wall at opposing sides. Each of the plurality of walls meet at the high point of their curves to form an apex. The front wall includes an opening sized to accommodate a human entry; and the attached walls form a freestanding den wherein structural support for the den is provided by the joined plurality of walls.

Described herein is a convenient set-up of a play structure, similar to a maze or multi-room play house without the use of tape or external connectors outside of the structure design. The panel component-based play area structure system will allow users to reduce the set-up time required for custom play structures as it is based on a simple individual partitions or panels designed to fit together to form a multiple room, or partitioned structure. The individual panel partitions allow the user to form customizable portals thereby customizing access to the individual partitioned sections.

A playhouse assembly for constructing a dome-shaped housing. The playhouse assembly includes one or more contoured upper wall elements that connect to one another to form an upper wall of a dome-shaped structure, resembling an igloo. A transparent dome-shaped window is secured to the top of the upper wall in order to form the peak of the dome-shaped structure. Each upper wall element includes one or more rods extending from a lower edge thereof, wherein the rods can be inserted into a lower wall formed by snow. In some embodiments of the playhouse assembly, one or more lower wall elements are included, wherein each of the lower wall elements connect to one another to form the lower wall of the structure, rather than using snow to form the lower wall thereof. Further, a ring-shaped template is provided in order to guide a user when constructing the lower wall.

Locking fastener for a toy construction playset includes an elongate, unitary body having two parts and a living hinge between the parts extending longitudinally between opposite ends of the body. The parts define an arrowhead tip at both ends when in an expanded state. Each tip is formed by a barb on each part that extends in opposite directions relative to the hinge. There is a flange on each part that extends in opposite directions from the hinge. By manipulating the flanges, the barbs are brought against one another to reduce a size of the tips and bring the tips into an insertion state in which each is insertable into a portal of a component of the toy construction playset, such as a log or a panel each of which preferably includes a row of such portals.

The present invention relates to a kit element, in particular wall and/or ceiling and/or roof panels, for detachable and non-destructive joining together, i.e. with at least one kit element of the same type, comprising at least one base element, in particular a wall and/or ceiling and/or roof panel, and at least one connecting system for detachable and non-destructive joining together, i.e. with at least one kit element of the same type, wherein the connecting system and/or connecting rails and/or connecting clips are formed by means of a plug-in system with a hook-and-loop fastener, a rice tape or a plug-in tape, so that two base elements can be connected to one another in a non-destructive manner.

A play structure is formed from flexible struts supporting a fabric. The struts are inserted through pockets along the edges of the fabric. The struts are joined together by connectors at apexes of the structure. The struts form an upper frame and a lower frame. The upper and lower frames are connected by battens. The struts and battens hold the fabric in a selected shape, such as a sailboat. The battens are formed from flat, flexible members that are bent about their longitudinal axis to form a C-shaped cross section. Ends of the battens are inserted into curved batten receivers on the connectors. When a downward force is applied, the upper frame is pressed toward the lower frame. The battens bend and flatten to resiliently allow the structure to collapse. When the force is relieved, the battens resiliently resume their curved shape, restoring the structure to its original configuration.

A ball pit apparatus for use with a plurality of balls. The ball pit apparatus includes: a base portion configured to provide a ball pit for holding a plurality of balls, wherein the base portion includes one or more inflatable side walls configured to, when inflated, extend around a periphery of the base portion; a roof portion configured to provide a ball chamber for holding a plurality of balls above the base portion; one or more inflatable supports configured to, when inflated, hold the roof portion above the base portion; a suction inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the ball chamber so that, when suction is provided at the suction inlet, suction is also provided to the ball chamber; a ball inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the ball chamber so that, when suction is provided to the ball chamber, a ball received at the ball inlet is drawn into the ball chamber. The roof portion includes an opening configured to face the base portion when the one or more inflatable supports are inflated. The roof portion includes at least one blocking element configured to block the opening so as to prevent balls from falling through the opening when suction is provided to the ball chamber and to not block the opening so as to allow balls to fall through the opening when suction is not provided to the ball chamber.
