    摘要: Coupling device (20) for a vertical pole (8) for gym exercises comprising a hemispherical element (3) positioned inside a seat (22), a base (1), a shaft (5) inserted inside the hemispherical element (3) to which the vertical pole (8) for gym exercises is connected, said device (20) being characterized in that the hemispherical element (3) comprises a plurality of blocking elements (10, 33, 45) configured to be coupled to a plurality of corresponding elements (26, 34, 44), made on the inner surface of the seat (22) of the hemispherical element (3) to prevent the rotation of the pole (8) around an axis (X) passing through the centre of the coupling device (20) while leaving free the oscillatory movement of the pole (8) with respect to said axis (X).

    摘要: A grip is suitable for sporting or recreational equipment having bars that intersect to form nodes. Fasteners, such as a bolt, washer and nut, can secure the bars together at each respective node. Each grip can include a grip body secured to respective ones of the nodes. Each grip body can have a hole through which a respective bolt extends, and a light assembly recess. A light assembly can be mounted in the respective light assembly recess of the grip body, and the light assembly can illuminate the grip.

    摘要: Climbing units that provide an enhanced play experience through the incorporation of any of a variety of elements including nets, suspended portions, and coupling elements, and to playground structures that contain those climbing units. In some embodiments, the climber unit may comprise one or more rigid portions and one or more net-containing portions connected end-to-end to produce a continuous climbing pathway. In other embodiments, the climber unit may comprise one or more rigid portions and one or more suspended portions connected end-to-end to produce a continuous climbing pathway. The suspended portion may be attached to adjacent rigid portions by flexible couplers, such that the suspended portion will move when a child climbs through it. In other embodiments, the climber unit may be mounted to an elevated playground structure such that there are no footers connecting the climber unit to the ground.

    摘要: A tower may support a horizontal track and a vertical climbing wall therebelow. A trolley, movable along the track, may be selectively driven toward and away from the tower by belay lines, line and capstan, positive drive, or some combination. Belay lines reeved over pulleys on the trolley may be taken up and paid out independently from the trolley, while fixed or moving. A rider may climb, be lifted, or both to near the intersection of the tower and track, from there to fall or jump into a controllable trajectory such as swinging or simulating a parachute landing. Swinging may be rapidly attenuated almost entirely by “bumps,” lifting a rider to remove momentum and kinetic energy as a rider moves toward a pivot point overhead. Control may be simplified based on sensing and using timing past bottom dead center (BDC).

    摘要: A play structure having one or more monolith structures for the connection of other surfaces (e.g., deckings, water-based elements, interactive elements, etc.). Each of the monolith structures may be adjustably connected with a ground surface such that a variety of possible angles may be obtained by the monolith with respect to the ground surface. After the desired orientation of the monolith is obtained to the ground surface via the adjustable connection, the monolith may be secured in such position. Water or other fluid may be provided to the monolith structures via piping that interfaces with the monolith structures by a fluid connection that is in communication with piping disposed within the monolith structures. A fluid dumping or delivery system (e.g., based upon a tipping element that provides water to a fluid flowing surface and/or other water dispersion element) may be provided as part of the play structure.

    摘要: A safety dance pole with a light display includes an opaque tube member with an programmable light display member configured for placement inside of the opaque tube member. A plurality of circumferentially arranged apertures extending through an outer surface of the tube member to a cavity within include light pipes configured to transmit light from the light display member past the outer surface of the opaque tube member. The dance pole includes a programmable controller which may be operated by wired or wireless means. The dance pole may be rotatable or suspendable. The light controller and light display may be powered by household current or one or more batteries.

    摘要: A climbing wall defines vertical, transverse (horizontally in-and-out, toward-and-away-from wall) and lateral (horizontally sideways) directions, mutually orthogonal. A surface treatment simulates rock by texture, holds, or both. A line (rope, cable) extends from a belay anchor, spaced away from the wall, to a climber at the wall. Line distance is controlled to eliminate slack to start, and continuously if the wall is increasingly steep and possibly curving sideways (laterally). When climbing ends, the climber swings transversely (and, optionally, laterally sideways) away from the wall in a pendulum fall, swinging (oscillating) about the belay anchor for multiple cycles and clear of contact with the wall. The fall may be intentional (the climber releasing a grip on the wall), accidental (falling from own weight), or due to line tension initiated by an automated timer or operator intervention.

    摘要: An amusement attraction features a wall structure, a respective set of illuminable handholds distributed over a wall surface of at least one upright wall of the structure, a floor surface residing adjacent to the upright wall on a side thereof faced by the wall surface, and one or more detection devices operable to detect landing of a participant on the floor surface during attempted traversal of the wall surface. A controller is operable to illuminate the handholds in different colour-coded patterns. Each pattern includes illumination of “authorized” handholds in a first colour, illumination of “prohibited” handholds in a second colour, and illumination of “targeted” handholds in a third colour. In a game-play session, participants are tasked with grasping of the targeted handholds while traversing the wall structure, with penalties applied for detected landing of participants on the floor surface and gripping of prohibited handholds.
