    Abstract: A method of installing a releasable shade membrane to a shade system is presented. The method comprises installing a tension release system within a structural component of the shade system. The tension release system comprises a threaded member configured to, when actuated, cause a coupling mechanism to move along an axis defined by the threaded member. The method also comprises coupling a shade membrane to the coupling mechanism. The method also comprises actuating the threaded member in a first direction, such that the coupling mechanism moves along the axis in a tensioning direction. The tension release system is configured to release applied tension upon actuation of the threaded member in a second direction, causing the coupling mechanism to move along the axis in a release direction. The release direction is substantially the reverse direction of the tensioning direction.

    Abstract: Zip track systems and systems for extending zip track systems are provided. An extension mechanism for a zip track system illustratively comprises a crossover unit, configured to attach to a zip track. The crossover unit illustratively comprises a crossover arch and two crossover support poles, wherein each of the support poles connects to an end portion of the crossover arch such that the support poles are configured to stand perpendicular to the zip track. The extension system further illustratively comprises a connection mechanism configured to connect the crossover arch to the zip track system such that the crossover unit distributes the weight of the track through the crossover arch and the crossover support poles.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a connector for commercial playground equipment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a playground component is provided that includes a connector pre-loaded on a rope. The connector includes a connector nut, optionally a washer, and a connector base that are kept from sliding off the end of the rope by a stop. The stop in one embodiment is a ferrule attached to the end of the rope. A specially shaped opening is formed in another component that is also part of the playground component. The specially shaped opening is configured such that at least a portion of the connector base is insertable through the opening when the connector base is rotated to a first orientation, but the connector base is unable to be pulled back through the specially shaped opening when rotated to a second orientation after insertion into the other component.
