摘要:
A swivel assembly for a tire comprises a clamp assembly adapted to be secured to a header tube, a swivel first member suspended from the clamp to pivot either parallel to or perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the header tube, a swivel second member which is suspended from the swivel first member to pivot 90° relative to the pivotal motion of the swivel first member, and a swivel third member which can rotate about the swivel second member. The swivel first member is pivotally mounted to the clamp via an upper pivot pin and the second swivel member is pivotally mounted to the swivel first member by a second lower pivot pin. The center-to-center distance between the upper and lower pivot pins is preferably less than about 3″. Additionally, the lower pivot pin can have a diameter that is less than the diameter of the upper pivot pin. Lastly, the swivel assembly can include a tether which extends over the header tube to which the clamp assembly is secured which has opposite ends secured to opposite sides of the lower pivot pin. The tether is sufficiently strong to support the weight of the tire swing, the swivel assembly, and anyone on the tire swing should the swivel assembly catastrophically fail.

A spiral slide includes interconnected bedway sections each of which are hollow and include as an integral part of the section body a sleeve telescopically engaging a ground support post. Fasteners interconnect the end-to-end bedway sections and are disposed on the interior of these sections and are accessible through capped openings. Fasteners may be formed as an integral part of the end wall. A fastener recess may be formed on the bottom side of the bedway section by the bottom wall converging upwardly towards the top wall to form a connecting flange with the fastener recess being between the flange and the bottom wall.

Playground equipment having wooden timbers includes a plastic fastener with a metal threaded core flushly mounted in the wooden timbers for interconnecting the wooden timbers to associated members of the playground unit. The plastic fastener has one-way tightening means and actuates the metal core by locking engagement with the metal core, thereby preventing disassembly of the playground equipment.

A farrowing hut structure of non-porous fiberglass material is pivotally connected at one of its ends to one end of a fiberglass floor for being pivoted between lowered and raised positions with the floor and interior of the hut structure being fully exposed to the sun and atmosphere when the hut is in its raised upended position. The hut is divided into a center sow section with pig sections on opposite sides and the floor includes heating elements embedded therein for heating the pig sections. An open top pen enclosure is connected to the hut enclosure at the end opposite the end pivotally connected to the floor. The pen floor and the hut structure in one embodiment is formed from fiber glass while in a second embodiment, the pen floor is concrete and is connected to a waste gutter which receives waste products from the hut structure and pen enclosure due to the hut structure and pen enclosure being placed on an incline sloping toward the waste gutter. A pig feeder may be placed on either end door in the center sow section or in the pig sections on an exterior wall in the proximity of a feed and pig access door for filling the feeder and removing pigs.

A tube slide includes a straight metal tube section connected through a radially extending flange to a 90.degree. curved section formed from identical half sections connected together by mating laterally extending flanges being fastened. The curved section is of fiberglass and includes a shingled bed of metal members matingly engaging the top surface of the bottom half section.

An A-shaped playground climber is formed from a pair of spaced apart end pieces which include outer peripheral rims having eight flat surfaces. Extension legs extend from the vertical surfaces to the ground and steps bridge adjacent legs and diagonal surfaces of the end pieces to provide steps along each of the legs of the A-shape structure. A tube is received in axial openings in each of the end pieces and a slide extends from the top of one of the end pieces to the ground. A second embodiment is also A-shaped but comprises four pairs of end pieces, three pairs in abutting relationship on the ground with a fourth pair on top of the center pair on the ground. Pairs of extension legs bridge adjacent end pieces to provide continuous legs of the A-shaped structure and steps are provided therealong. A slide on one side of the A-shaped structure extends from the ground to the juncture of the abutting horizontal surfaces of the top and bottom center end pieces.
