Description

Playground.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a playground, that is to say a receptacle that, as a cage, is generally used to domestic level to keep children inside young, within a limited and padded environment that avoids risks of possible accidents.

The object of the invention is to achieve a playground that, in addition to fulfilling the functionality of a conventional park in the inside a home or home, can also be used on the street, both with the same park features as with those of a mobile element for the child's movement.

Background of the invention

As is known, playgrounds are constituted using a padded base platform, and a top frame, also padded, related to each other by a side wall net and folding legs, which allow convenient distance frame and base platform, with the consequent tension of the network, or decouple said elements, with network folding and approximation from the frame to the base platform, to store the park in minimum volumetric occupation situation.

These playgrounds are conceived only and exclusively as household items, or in daycare centers and the like, and in fact their dimensions are usually such that they do not allow their passage to through the opening of a conventional door, rather than in a situation folding

Description of the invention

The playground proposed by the invention has been conceived with a different functional philosophy, so that, as previously said, in addition to presenting the same benefits that a classic playground is susceptible to act as a movable street car and Can also be used as a park in this circumstance.

For this and more specifically, the playground is structured by a base platform, more elongated than that of a conventional park, to allow the passage through the hollow of the doors of the houses, and with a hinge line intermediate that allows the folding of one half of it over the other.

The base platform is articulated in turn by its ends to both vertical and also extreme walls, related between yes at a higher level through a fragmentable framework, specifically to base of two half-frames of `` U '' configuration, of openings faced, likely to be fixed by respective pins The side wall of the park is complemented by sectors mesh, vertically fragmented at medium level, where relate by zippers or any other element of proper engagement, so that such mesh sectors can be divided in half and separated from the base platform, to allow the lower half-frame to be lowered over the extreme and vertical walls, and in turn the folded of the base platform with the parallel and consequent mutual approach between the extreme walls, in a situation of maximum proximity in which the volumetry of the park is minimal.

As a complement to the structure described the base platform incorporates, in the vicinity of its vertices, respective wheels for displacement of the park on the ground, preferably two of them self-orientable, and on one of its upper half-frames a retractable handle is mounted, to facilitate the park drive similar to a car or pram.

Finally it is planned that inside the park, specifically on one of the extreme and rigid walls, it establish a seat for a child, with its corresponding belt safety, turn folding seat to reduce its volumetry and in turn allow the folding of the park as a whole.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and with in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred embodiment practice thereof, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of drawings where illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a park child made in accordance with the purpose of this invention, in use situation.

Figure 2. - Shows, according to a perspective similar to the figure previous, the same park in intermediate folding situation.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, the same park of the figures previous fully folded and according to a perspective similar to the of these figures.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen as the Park of the invention is structured from a platform base (1), conveniently padded, rectangular and elongated, as previously it has been said of a width that allows its free passage through the gaps of the doors of the houses, platform (1) divided into two equal sectors by a hinge transverse and intermediate (2), adequate, arranged and configured to allow an upward folding of the platform (1), to prevent the two sectors of the same from exceeding below the horizontal position shown in figure 1.

The respective ends of the platform (1) are associated rigid walls (3), of height coinciding with that of the park, fixing either these extreme walls (3) or the platform base (1), in correspondence with the area near its vertices, respective wheels (4-4 ') of which preferably two of them (4 ') will be authorizable, to facilitate the movement of the children's playground on the ground, as if it were a car or children's car

To the upper edge of the extreme and rigid walls (3) are joined articulately two half-frames (5-5 '), configuration in `` U '', also properly padded, fixed together by their mouths in armed situation of the park with the collaboration of retractable pins (6) against the respective tension springs, so that in mounting situation for both semi-frames (5-5 ') these constitute a rigid contour frame coinciding with that of the base platform (1), which when they are released through the pins (6) are susceptible to dejection towards the inner face of the extreme and rigid walls (3), as shown in Figure 2.

The lateral enclosure of the park is determined by sectors mesh (7) fixed to the side edges of the end walls (3) and to the side branches of the half-frames (5-5 '), which in turn they fix each other inside each side of the park by a zipper or similar (8) while also fixing with character removable by zippers (8 ') to the corresponding edges of the platform (1), so that each mesh side (7) is liable to divide in two and separate by its edge bottom of the base platform (1), so that its two halves accompany the half-frames (5-5 ') in the tilting movements of the latter, after which a folding of the platform occurs base (1) for its intermediate hinge line (2), up to get the compact block shown in figure 3.

Since, as previously stated, the park is planned to be used also as a car or pram, to one of its half-frames (5) is associated with a retractable handle (9), also with a `` U '' configuration similar to its own half-frame that as represented by an arrow in the Figure 1 can distance or approach the middle branch of this last, depending on the operating or inoperative situation of the Park.

Finally inside it, specifically on one of its extreme and rigid walls (3), provision is provided of a folding seat (10), with folding armrests (11) and with the classic seat belt (12), which allows the child to sit therein in the operant situation shown in figure 1, or either fully down on the side wall (3) where find implanted, as shown in figure 2, during the park folding maneuver.
