Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an activity system and a method of facilitating activity using the activity system.
  • the present invention may be used to provide playground equipment, game or activity stations to be used by children.
  • playground equipment game or activity stations to be used by children.
  • other applications or user groups are also within the scope of the invention.
  • Modern children are considered to be less physically active than their parents were at their age. Many factors contribute to this decreased activity, ranging from transport options employed by or for children through to the ready availability of computer based entertainment options for children.
  • Playgrounds and sporting facilities provide an Important opportunity for children to participate in some form of physical activity. However, some age groups are not adequately catered for by the current range of playground equipment, sports fields or sporting facilities on offer.
  • playground equipment generally caters to the interests and physical development of three to seven year old children.
  • Various apparatus such as climbing nets, monkey bars and slides are normally found as part of existing playground equipment allowing younger children to develop their basic movement and motor skills.
  • existing forms of playground equipment are not necessarily of interest to older children who may have become bored with such systems due to exposure to same in their earlier years.
  • pre-teenage children can lack the physical development required to properly use adult sized sporting equipment, fields or facilities.
  • An improved activity system and/or method of facilitating activity or activities would therefore be of advantage over the prior art.
  • an activity system or method which allowed a single space to facilitate the completion of a number of different activities, and which allowed small or Informal groups of participants to complete or participate in an activity would be of advantage to the community.
  • the documents US4202543 and FR2694704 disclose different types of activity system for multiple sports and/or multiple play areas.
  • the present invention relates to an assembly for playing recreational games, the assembly comprising: at least three walls arranged about a common axis, each wall being connected to two adjacent walls and having at least a portion extending radially from the common axis; wherein each wall has an aperture therein, which includes a a sports net for ball sports affixed across at least a portion of the aperture.
  • a wall further includes
  • an activity system substantially as described above wherein any wall/walls incorporated into the system have a modular configuration by being prefabricated and at least some of the walls having the same shape and size.
  • the activity system comprises two discrete sets of walls, the first set of walls having a first predetermined size and shape and the second set of walls having a second predetermined size and shape.
  • an activity system substantially as described above wherein the modular walls may include one of a plurality of design variations dependent on the activities to be facilitated on each of the play surfaces of a wall.
  • the present invention may be adapted to provide an activity system which can facilitate the performance of at least two independent activities by users of the system.
  • the activity system can facilitate these activities by providing at least a portion or component of equipment required by users to perform an activity.
  • These components or elements of the system are permanently located In an accessible area or region.
  • the present Invention therefore allows a number of activities to be performed or completed with users needing to supply only a minimum amount of equipment.
  • activity system of the present invention is adapted to provide a number of separate activity stations which can be utilised independently, one skilled in the art would appreciate that interaction between participants at different activity stations may occur or be desirable In some Instances.
  • the activity based game(s) may be designed so as to attract the attention of children and allow children to play together In small ad hoc groups or alternatively (in some instances) on their own.
  • the activity system provided by the present invention may include a number of prefabricated walls formed with a modular design.
  • a prefabricated modular design system allows the walls incorporated into the activity system to be formed at relatively low cost. It also allows the eventual size or number of activities offered by the system to be easily varied and configured to suit the requirements of its users.
  • a modular wall configuration allows individual wall sections to Include one of a number of variants which can dictate the type or form of activity facilitated by a particular play surface. Again, this allows the eventual users of the activity system to choose particular walls which suit the types of activities which they wish their activity system to facilitate.
  • the activities or games facilitated by a play surface can vary widely.
  • a few examples of games which may be facilitated by the activity system of the present invention include but are not limited to the following: jump rope, wall climbing, handball, basketball, kickball, four square, soccer, cricket, tennis, badminton, volleyball and bowling.
  • an activity system of the present invention may incorporate a substantially flat or horizontal play area.
  • the wall or walls of the activity system may then be deployed on this play area to project upwards from same and therefore divide the play area into a number of independent and separate activity stations or regions. For example a single wall may divide a section of the play area into two independent activity stations, whereas two or more walls may divide a section of the play area into a greater number of independent activity stations.
  • a play area used In conjunction with the present invention may be formed from an array of materials including but not limited to grass, tarmac or concrete, woodchips, synthetic grass and safety surfaces or the internal floor of a structure.
  • the activity system of the present Invention may be deployed on any convenient play area, for example a public park or school grounds, or the floor of a gymnasium or other suitable building. In instances where the activity system is deployed inside a structure it Is envisioned that the base of each wall may be removably attached or engaged with the floor of the building to allow the activity system to be collapsed and removed when not in use.
  • each wall of the activity system may define two opposed play surfaces on the opposite sides of the wall.
  • Each of these play surfaces can be used in an activity independent of each other due to the wall dividing a section of the play area Into two separate activity stations.
  • the activity system may incorporate three or more walls attached to one another in a range of configurations. This provides variability in the types of activities which the system can facilitate. For example, some activities or games may require a corner between two walls positioned at right angles to one another. For example, it may be desirable to have a corner behind a baseball or softball pitch to contain the ball without the requirement for a back stop.
  • Adjacent play surfaces facilitating differing activlties allow the invention to provide a wide range of activity options for children to choose from, even if some activities cannot be completed at the same time. It should be appreciated that any configuration of walls can be utilised by the walls of the present invention.
  • the walls of the activity station may be straight; however in alternative embodiments the walls may be curved. Curved walls may Increase the range of activities the activity system can provide. Additionally curved walls may help to contain the equipment utilised at a particular play surface. For example, If balls are being kicked or thrown against the play surface, a curved wall may decrease the likelihood of the ball moving into another activity station and potentially interrupting play at that station. This may also allow the activity station to be deployed on a smaller play area.
  • a play surface may have markings, printing or text applied to it.
  • markings may be applied to a play surface to assist in the performance of a game or activity and to determine whether the rules of a game have been met or an objective of the game completed.
  • markings or text may display information pertinent to the rules or objectives of a particular game or activity facilitated by an activity station associated with the wall.
  • markings or text on a play surface may also include inspirational or values based messages which may or may not be related to the particular activity facilitated by the activity station.
  • a wall may include one or more apertures which can facilitate the performance of an activity or the playing of a game.
  • an aperture formed in the wall may define a goal mouth through which a ball would be kicked, thrown or otherwise encouraged.
  • an additional target or further equipment may be deployed within the aperture defined to allow an objective of the activity to be completed.
  • additional equipment may be deployed within an aperture of a wall.
  • the additional equipment may be a net used to capture the progress of a ball driven through the aperture.
  • the additional equipment may be a set of cricket stumps or other forms of target for a ball which - when struck - can indicate that an objective of game or activity has been met.
  • Such equipment may be permanently deployed within an aperture of a wall, thereby minimizing the amount of equipment which needs to be carried to the activity system by users.
  • an aperture may be utilised to attach a piece of equipment to the play surface.
  • a skipping rope allows two (or more) children to play jump rope without the need for additional children.
  • a net such as a volleyball net or the like for example, may be attached to the play surface. It is also envisaged that the nets may be affixed to the apertures during the manufacturing of the activity centre, well before the activity centre is installed on location.
  • additional components or elements may be engaged with a play surface of a wall.
  • a basketball/netball net or hoop, badminton net, or a volleyball net may be attached to a play surface to allow basketball, netball or volleyball style games to be played at a particular activity station.
  • a play surface may incorporate one or more projections or depressions arranged to bounce back an object thrown at the surface at an unpredictable angle. These projections or depressions can therefore provide an element of unpredictability to game play and hence allow a number of exciting and interesting games to be facilitated by the associated action station.
  • modular walls of the present Invention may be attached to one another by any known attachment means.
  • attachment means may include for example a metal joining assembly into which the ends of adjacent walls may be fitted at varying angles.
  • a joining assembly which allows the end of one wall to be attached to the flat (or curved) surface of an adjacent wall.
  • the joining means allows a varying number of walls to be attached to one another quickly and easily and in a number of configurations. In some embodiments this may also allow the activity system to be updated by the addition, removal or replacement of wall(s) if desired.
  • a joining means may be formed by a metal bracket with a form or shape equivalent to the angle at which two or more walls intersect.
  • a metal bracket with a form or shape equivalent to the angle at which two or more walls intersect.
  • a corresponding L-shaped or right angle form bracket may be employed as a joining means.
  • a three armed metal bracket may be provided with each of the arms intersecting at an angle of 120 degrees.
  • Such brackets may be laid over the top edges of walls and bolted or otherwise fastened to the walls to connect them together.
  • a tamper resistant connection system may be employed.
  • Such tamper resistant systems may be provided by a channel formed in the edges of the wall which define the aperture, where projecting tethers on the edges of the netting can be threaded through and into this channel. With such a connection scheme the edge of the netting will therefore be secured within the channel with no exposed connectors being present.
  • the netting may be formed from reinforced shark netting composed from multiple wire thread net covered by a nylon sleeve.
  • An activity system formed in accordance with the present invention can allow a number of Independent activity stations to be deployed which can include at least a portion or preferably the majority of the equipment required to participate in an activity or game.
  • Rules, instructions and inspirational messages or decorations may be marked onto the play surfaces of walls forming the activity system, as can markings which assist in the completion of the objectives of activities or games.
  • the modular and prefabricated nature of the activity system walls allows a high degree of flexibility In terms of activity system design while also minimizing the implementation costs of same. Apertures, projections or depressions formed in the systems walls can allow a wide range and variety of activities to be facilitated by the system, potentially promoting traditional sporting skills or allowing new innovative games to be played using these systems.
  • the activity system of the present invention provides activity stations which may appeal to children who are Loo old for existing playground equipment, but who are not yet able to utillse adult equipment to Its full potential.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an activity system formed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 shows the provision of an activity system which incorporates three wails which terminate or meet each other at approximately 120° angles. These walls are located on a single substantially flat playing surface and delineate this playing surface into three separate areas. Furthermore, court markings are also applied onto the play area to define a number of distinct areas, which facilitate the playing of a variety of games.
  • a number of games may be played across and over the span of each of the walls, thereby providing a number of activity stations which may span both sides of a wall.
  • other regions of each of these walls also facilitate or provide further activity stations which are stand alone in nature and which allow games to be played on both sides of the walls.
  • a set of apertures are provided in the wall that are closed by netting. These nets and their associated apertures provide targets for ball skill related games.
  • Figure 1 also illustrates how the intersection of the walls of the activity system of the present invention can provide a corner, which in use can also trap and effectively bounce balls or other games equipment back to players.
  • Figure 1 also Illustrates how the walls can also include curved sections or faces. These curves provide some variability in respect of the reflection angles which balls can exhibit when thrown against a wall and can also improve the aesthetic appeal of the resulting activity system.
  • each of the walls include a number of design variations which facilitate the playing of a number of games against or potentially over each wall.
  • the walls illustrated include a number of apertures which are closed off by netting material where this netting is permanently installed within each wall. Permanent installation of such equipment reduces the amount of additional equipment users will need to collect to play a variety of games using the activity system.
  • the wall components of the present invention are modular, which provides the possibility of altering the activity system to allow different activities to be carried out using the system of the present invention.
  • the modular walls can be permanently fixed In place or can remain alterable thereby allowing the walls to be changed periodically.
