Definitions
- the invention relates to a children's group seesaw, which consists of a plate mounted on several springs on a base construction and a fixed column connected to it, arranged perpendicular to it and provided with a device serving as a handle.
- the currently usual children's seesaws of this type consist of a small diameter plate that is only supported on three coil springs and can be used by three to four children at the same time. If such a plate is to be available to a larger group of children, for example ten or more children, a plate of substantially larger diameter must of course be provided. However, a seesaw of this size requires special storage.
- the object of the invention is to show a seesaw suitable for larger groups of children, and in particular the storage suitable for such a group of seesaws.
- the central column extends through the plate to the base construction and is pivotably connected to it on all sides.
- This central definition of the storage ensures that the plate cannot shift laterally even in the event of heavy and uneven loading in a manner that questions safety. This gives the possibility of significantly increasing the plate diameter, so that the seesaw can be used by a larger group of children at the same time without danger.
- 1 denotes the central column, which consists, for example, of a steel tube
- 2 denotes the annular handle attached to it.
- the plate 3 which is generally made of wood, is fastened to a support ring 5 which is firmly connected to the center column 1 by means of radial spokes 4 consisting of metal profiles, for example U-iron, and is formed from a metal profile, for example an angle or T-profile. Bracing serves to stiffen the spokes 4 gen 19, which are welded on the one hand on the downwardly extended center column and on the other hand on the support ring 5.
- the base structure similar to the supporting structure for the wooden plate 3, consists of the circular base ring 11 formed by a metal profile, and a steel body 17 arranged in the center thereof by means of metal spokes 14, for example made of flat iron Ground ring welded on ground anchor 13.
- the central column 1 extending through the plate 3 is extended downwards and provided at its end with a pin 16, for example welded into the tube forming the column 1, which ends with a ball 15, the diameter of which is larger than that of the pin 16.
- the ball 15 is mounted in a correspondingly shaped recess in the steel body 17.
- the recess is covered by a metal plate 18, advantageously a steel plate, which is screwed onto the steel body 17 and has a circular opening in the middle, the diameter of which is smaller than the ball diameter. Insert around the metal plate 18 To be able to, it has a slot extending from the recess to the edge, the width of which corresponds to the diameter of the pin 16 and allows passage.
- each other strong coil springs 8 acting as compression springs each with its upper end on the circular plate 6 attached to the support ring 5 and with its lower end attached to the circular one on the bottom ring 11 Support plate 12.
- the springs are not attached to the plates 6 and 12, but only used loosely, so that they are not used as tension springs when the rocker is actuated.
- the upper end of each spring 8 is located within a pipe socket 7 welded to the plate 6 as a guide, while a limiting element 10 of any shape limiting the rocking movement is fastened on the lower plate 12 and protrudes into the interior of the coil spring also serves as a guide.
- the limiting elements 10 are each provided with a buffer 9 made of rubber or another elastic material.
- the pipe sockets 7 are on the support ring 5 and the limiting elements 10 on the base ring 11.
- the reverse arrangement is also possible for this, that is to say the pipe sockets can be arranged on the base ring and the limit elements on the support ring.
- the springs are wholly or partially surrounded by a sheath made of flexible material which prevents human limbs from getting between the turns of the springs during the actuation of the rocker.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kindergruppenwippe, die aus einer über mehrere Federn auf einer Sockelkonstruktion gelagerten Platte und einer mit dieser fest verbundenen, senkrecht zu ihr angeordneten und mit einer als Handgriff dienenden Vorrichtung versehenen Mittelsäule besteht.The invention relates to a children's group seesaw, which consists of a plate mounted on several springs on a base construction and a fixed column connected to it, arranged perpendicular to it and provided with a device serving as a handle.
Die derzeit üblichen Kinderwippen dieser Art bestehen aus einer lediglich auf drei Wendelfedern gelagerten Platte geringen Durchmessers und können von drei bis vier Kindern gleichzeitig benutzt werden. Soll eine solche gleichzeitig einer größeren Gruppe von Kindern, etwa zehn oder mehr Kindern, zur Verfügung stehen, so muß selbstverständlich eine Platte wesentlich größeren Durchmessers vorgesehen werden. Eine Wippe dieser Größe bedarf aber einer besonderen Lagerung. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine für größere Kindergruppen geeignete Wippe, und insbesondere die für-eine solche Kindergruppenwippe geeignete Lagerung aufzuzeigen.The currently usual children's seesaws of this type consist of a small diameter plate that is only supported on three coil springs and can be used by three to four children at the same time. If such a plate is to be available to a larger group of children, for example ten or more children, a plate of substantially larger diameter must of course be provided. However, a seesaw of this size requires special storage. The object of the invention is to show a seesaw suitable for larger groups of children, and in particular the storage suitable for such a group of seesaws.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß in der Weise gelöst, daß bei einer Kindergruppenwippe der eingangs beschriebenen Art die Mittelsäule durch die Platte hindurchgreifend bis zur Sockelkonstruktion reicht und an dieser nach allen Seiten verschwenkbar angelenkt ist.The object is achieved in such a way that in a children's group seesaw of the type described in the introduction, the central column extends through the plate to the base construction and is pivotably connected to it on all sides.
Durch diese zentrale Festlegung der Lagerung wird erreicht, daß auch bei starker und ungleichmäßiger Belastung die Platte sich nicht in einer die Sicherheit infrage stellenden Weise seitlich verlagern kann. Damit ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, den Plattendurchmesser erheblich zu vergrößern, so daß die Wippe auch von einer größeren Gruppe von Kindern gleichzeitig ohne Gefahr benutzt werden kann.This central definition of the storage ensures that the plate cannot shift laterally even in the event of heavy and uneven loading in a manner that questions safety. This gives the possibility of significantly increasing the plate diameter, so that the seesaw can be used by a larger group of children at the same time without danger.
Im folgenden soll anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer solchen Kindergruppenwippe beschrieben werden. In der Zeichnung zeigen
- Fig. 1 die Kindergruppenwippe im Vertikalschnitt und
- Fig. 2 in Draufsicht mit teilweise entfernter Platte.
- Fig. 1, the children's group seesaw in vertical section and
- Fig. 2 in plan view with the plate partially removed.
In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 die beispielsweise aus einem Stahlrohr bestehende Mittelsäule und mit 2 der an dieser befestigte ringförmige Handgriff bezeichnet. Die im allgemeinen aus Holz bestehende Platte 3 ist auf einem mittels radial verlaufender, aus Metallprofilen, zum Beispiel U-Eisen bestehenden Speichen 4 fest mit der Mittelsäule 1 verbundenen aus einem Metallprofil, etwa einem Winkel- oder T-Profil gebildeten Tragring 5 befestigt. Zur Aussteifung der Speichen 4 dienen Verstrebungen 19, die einerseits an der nach unten verlängerten Mittelsäule und andererseits am Tragring 5 angeschweißt sind.In the drawing, 1 denotes the central column, which consists, for example, of a steel tube, and 2 denotes the annular handle attached to it. The
Die Sockelkonstruktion besteht, ähnlich der Tragkonstruktion für die Holzplatte 3, aus dem durch ein Metallprofil gebildeten kreisförmigen Bodenring 11, und einem in dessen Mitte angeordneten durch Metallspeichen 14, beispielsweise aus Flacheisen, fest mit ihm verbundenen Stahlkörper 17. Zur Festlegung der Wippe dienen die am Bodenring angeschweißten Bodenanker 13.The base structure, similar to the supporting structure for the
Die durch die Platte 3 hindurchgreifende Mittelsäule 1 ist nach unten verlängert und an ihrem Ende mit einem beispielsweise in das die Säule 1 bildende Rohr eingeschweißten Zapfen 16 versehen, der mit einer Kugel 15 endigt, deren Durchmesser größer ist als derjenige des Zapfens 16. Die Kugel 15 ist in einer entsprechend geformten Ausnehmung des Stahlkörpers 17 gelagert. Um die Kugel 15 am Verlassen dieser Ausnehmung zu hindern,.ist die Ausnehmung durch eine Metallplatte 18, vorteilhafterweise eine Stahlplatte, abgedeckt, die an dem Stahlkörper 17 angeschraubt und in der Mitte mit einem kreisförmi- .gen Durchbruch versehen ist, dessen Durchmesser kleiner ist als der Kugeldurchmesser. Um die Metallplatte 18 einbringen zu können, weist sie einen von der Ausnehmung zum Rand verlaufenden Schlitz auf, dessen Breite dem Durchmesser des Zapfens 16 entspricht und dessen Durchtritt ermöglicht.The
Zwischen der Platte 3 und der Sockelkonstruktion befinden sich in gleichmäßigen Abständen voneinander kräftige als Druckfedern wirkende Wendelfedern 8, die sich jeweils mit ihrem oberen Ende an der kreisförmigen, am Tragring 5 befestigten Platte 6 und mit ihrem unteren Ende an der kreisförmigen, am Bodenring 11 befestigten Platte 12 abstützen. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Federn nicht an den Platten 6 und 12 befestigt, sondern nur lose eingesetzt, so daß sie bei Betätigung der Wippe nicht als Zugfedern beansprucht werden. Um dies zu ermöglichen, befindet sich das obere Ende jeder Feder 8 innerhalb eines mit der Platte 6 verschweißten als Führung dienenden Rohrstutzen 7, während ein die Wippbewegung begrenzendes Begrenzungselement 10 beliebiger Form auf der unteren Platte 12 befestigt ist und in das Innere der Wendelfeder hineinragend dieser gleichfalls als Führung dient. Zum Abfangen der Wippbewegung sind die Begrenzungselemente 10 jeweils mit einem aus Gummi oder einem anderen elastischen Material bestehenden Puffer.9 versehen.Between the
In dem gewählten Beispiel befinden sich die Rohrstutzen 7 an dem Tragring 5 und die Begrenzungselemente 10 an dem Bodenring 11. Selbstverständlich ist hierfür auch die umgekehrte Anordnung möglich, das heißt die Rohrstutzen können am Bodenring und die Begrenzungselemente am Tragring angeordnet sein.In the example selected, the
Vorteilhafterweise werden die Federn ganz oder teilweise mit einer Hülle aus biegeschlaffem Stoff umgeben, der es verhindert, daß menschliche Gliedmaßen während der Betätigung der Wippe zwischen die Windungen der Federn geraten.Advantageously, the springs are wholly or partially surrounded by a sheath made of flexible material which prevents human limbs from getting between the turns of the springs during the actuation of the rocker.
