Description

  The present invention relates to a water play facility formed on the water such as a sea or a lake.

  Recently, the so-called sea-off phenomenon has occurred, and the number of people who enjoy swimming is rapidly decreasing. According to the Leisure White Paper, the total bathing population in the country was 20.4 million in 2007, but in 2015 it was said to have halved to 7.6 million. One of the causes of such a sea-off phenomenon is the increase in the number of people who have become unattractive to bathing due to diversification of various leisure activities. Therefore, at present, it is an urgent task to attract as many beach visitors as possible and to raise the bathing population at beaches nationwide.

  In this regard, conventionally, a floating pool that is installed floating on the sea as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 4 has been considered in order to increase the attractiveness of the sea and increase the number of bathing people. Since such a water pool is installed in the sea, it can be immersed in the mood as if swimming in the sea, and can secure the safety of the swimmer in the sea with various dangers. It can be said that it is highly beneficial. On the other hand, although the water pool can be installed on the sea, it is just a pool, and as a player's play method, it is only possible to swim, so it lacks novelty as a leisure, and new to the beach It has not led to demand.

  In view of such circumstances, the applicant of the present invention thought that it would not be possible to construct an athletic play facility by floating floating equipment on the sea as a new facility capable of playing games other than swimming at sea. However, when a floating playground equipment was simply installed on the sea, it became clear that various problems occurred. For example, when a floating playground equipment is installed near a shore, it is easily affected by waves and it is difficult to stably install the floating playground equipment. On the other hand, if the floating equipment is firmly fixed offshore, when a typhoon or high wave occurs, the floating equipment will not be able to withstand the wind and waves, and the floating equipment will be damaged or damaged. The floating play equipment will drift to the ocean. Also, it is obvious that there are various problems such as the fact that a typhoon or a high wave is detected in advance and the floating playground equipment is temporarily collected but cannot be collected easily. became.

  Therefore, the present invention makes it possible to stably maintain a novel water play facility using a floating playground equipment on the water, and to remove the floating playground equipment from the base frame body in the event of a weather change such as a sudden typhoon. Thus, only the floating playground equipment can be easily collected. In addition, after the typhoon has passed and the weather has calmed, the floating playground equipment is immediately locked to the base frame so that the water play facility can be resumed.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a water play facility according to the present invention includes a floating playground equipment formed so as to float by being filled with a gas, and a predetermined distance from the shore for locking the floating playground equipment. A base frame disposed near the separated water surface, and mooring means for mooring the base frame, and the floating play equipment can be detachably locked to the base frame. It is a feature.

  Further, the base frame is formed in a frame shape by a long member.

  Further, the mooring means includes a bottom side movement restricting portion and a shore side movement restricting portion, and the bottom side movement restricting portion includes a bottom side installation anchor installed on the bottom of the water near the base frame, and the bottom side A first string-like member extended from a side installation anchor and locked to the base frame body, and the shore side movement restricting portion is installed on a shore opposite to the base frame body, And a second string-like member extending from the shore-side installation anchor and locking to the base frame body.

  Moreover, it is desirable that the first string-like member is formed of an elastic member whose end on the base frame side has elasticity.

  Further, the base frame body is capable of locking a plurality of floating playground equipment, and the plurality of floating playground equipments can be connected to each other by an engaging member.

  The engaging member is preferably formed of an elastic member having elasticity.

  Furthermore, it is desirable to lay a muscle rope horizontally inside the base frame.

  According to the present invention, since a novel amusement facility can be installed on the water such as the sea or a lake, a new demand can be generated in the beach. In addition, since the floating playground equipment is locked to the base frame installed at a predetermined distance from the shore, the floating playground equipment can be stably maintained on the water in a normal state. Furthermore, since the floating playground equipment can be detachably locked to the base frame, when the weather conditions worsen, such as when a typhoon occurs, collect the floating playground equipment in advance and eventually break the floating playground equipment Damage can be prevented in advance. Also, when the weather conditions improve, such as when a typhoon passes, the water play facility can be resumed simply by re-engaging the collected floating play equipment with the base frame. Further, when a plurality of floating playground equipments are provided in the water play facility, even if some of the floating playground equipments are damaged, only the damaged floating playground equipment can be easily replaced.

The perspective view of the base frame and mooring means of a water play facility. A side view of a water play facility. The top view of the water play facility which concerns on another Example.

  Embodiments of the water play facility according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the water play facility, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the water play facility, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a base frame moored by mooring means, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the water play facility. The water amusement facility according to the present embodiment includes a floating play device 1 that is formed so as to float by being filled with a gas, and a base that is disposed near a water surface that is spaced a predetermined distance from the shore in order to lock the floating play device 1. The frame 2 and the mooring means 3 for mooring the base frame 2 are schematically configured. Note that, in the water amusement facility according to the present embodiment, a plurality of floating playground equipments 1 are engaged with the base frame 2 to constitute a play facility such as an athletic facility as a whole. In other words, a normal athletic facility is formed to incorporate various obstacles on the ground to create various attractions, and a player can enjoy the attraction while passing through these attractions. It can be said that the above-mentioned athletic facilities were replaced with the sea instead of the ground.

  The floating play equipment 1 is formed into various shapes by forming a gas-impermeable flexible sheet such as tarpaulin or rubber-coated cloth into an internal hollow bag-like structure, and joining the bag-like structures together. is doing. FIG. 3 shows specific examples of the floating toy 1 formed in various shapes. For example, the floating playground equipment 1 (c) in FIG. 3 is formed in a shape that combines a slide and a jungle gym, and the floating playground equipment 1 (e) in FIG. When it is done, it is formed into a shape that intentionally loses balance. In addition to this, although not shown in the figure, a trampoline is incorporated so that a player can float on the playground equipment 1 and so on. That is, these floating playground equipments 1 can be formed by arbitrarily selecting a desired shape that allows the player to enjoy playing. Incidentally, the size of the floating playground equipment 1 in FIG. 3C is set to W4800 mm × D5500 mm × H9900 mm, and the size of the floating playground equipment 1 in FIG. 3E is set to W3300 mm × D3300 mm × H350 mm.

  Thus, although the floating playground equipment 1 is modeled in various shapes, since there is a common component part which all of them have, the said part is demonstrated next. Although not shown in the drawings, the floating playground equipment 1 is provided with an air inlet, and the floating playground equipment 1 expands by injecting air from the air inlet and increasing the internal pressure. In addition, the floating play equipment 1 filled with air floats in water due to internal air pressure, and has a state of elasticity like an air mat. Therefore, even if the player falls and falls while traveling on the playground equipment 1, there is no worry of bruising due to the elasticity. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (a) in an enlarged manner, a plurality of D-shaped bases are appropriately spaced apart at appropriate positions on the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of each floating play 1, on the inner side, or on the outer side. A mounting bracket 5 is fixed, and a mounting member 6 called a metal snap hook or a carabiner can be attached thereto. That is, the base mounting bracket 5 and the mounting member 6 described above function as a locking member 7 that locks the play equipment 1 to the base frame 2. Here, the configuration of the mounting member 6 will be described in more detail. The mounting member 6 is configured by swinging a gate member 6b to a vertically long substantially C-shaped hook body 6a so that it is substantially elliptical as a whole. It is formed in an annular shape. Further, the gate member 6b of the attachment member 6 is biased in a direction to close the opening of the hook body 6a from the inside by a spring. Therefore, when the gate member 6b is pressed from the outside to the inside, the opening of the hook body 6a is opened, and when the gate member 6b is stopped, the gate member 6b closes the opening of the hook body 6a by the biasing force of the spring. It has become. Therefore, when the floating playground equipment 1 is locked to the base frame body 2, the attachment member 6 of the floating playground equipment 1 can be locked to the base frame body 2 in one touch. When the floating play 1 is attached to the base frame 2, base ropes 2a, 2b and muscle ropes 2c, 2d (to be described later) of the base frame 2 are loosely fitted in the ring of the attachment member 6 with a considerable gap. It becomes a state.

  Further, the floating playground equipment 1 is configured such that a plurality of floating playground equipments 1 can be connected to each other and unitized. Specifically, a plurality of D-shaped playground equipment coupling fittings 8 are fixed to appropriate positions on the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the floating playground equipment 1, slightly inside, or on the outside side, with appropriate intervals. Then, the two floating playground equipments are made by engaging the connection ropes 9 (engaging members) made of elastic members called bungee ropes with the respective playground equipment connection brackets 8 of the two floating playground equipment 1 to be connected. 1 can be connected to each other. Then, by performing this connecting operation also on other floating playground equipment 1, a plurality of floating playground equipments 1 can be connected to each other, and any number of floating playground equipments 1 can be made into one unit. As shown in FIG. 5, a sheet-like cover 10 made of the same material as that of the floating playground equipment 1 is attached to a location where the floating playground equipment 1 is connected in order to hide the connected portion. In addition, a plurality of D-shaped ladder mounting brackets (not shown) are fixed to appropriate locations on the outer side of the floating playground equipment 1 so that the elevating ladder 11 can be attached thereto. Further, a D-shaped weight mounting bracket is fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the floating play equipment 1, and the weight back 12 can be suspended here. Incidentally, the weight back 12 is set to a weight of 30 kg, and plays a role of preventing the floating play equipment 1 from being lifted when it is blown by the wind.

  In addition, in the said Example, although the material which has a stretching property is employ | adopted about the connection rope 9 used when connecting the some floating playground equipment 1, this reduces the influence of the wave which a water play facility receives. This, in turn, makes it possible to maintain the stability of water play facilities. In other words, if a plurality of floating playground equipments are linked by a normal rope that is not stretchable, the entire water play facility will be synchronized with the movement of the waves, and the entire water play facility will be tilted whenever a wave occurs. Become. In addition, when a water play facility receives a large wave, a great force is inevitably applied to the connecting rope, and the connecting rope may be broken. In this regard, if a stretched connecting rope is used, each floating playground equipment will move individually with respect to the movement of the waves, and the inclination of the entire water play facility can be reduced. By expanding and contracting according to the movement of the wave, it is possible to absorb the wave force and prevent the connecting rope from breaking.

  The base frame body 2 is formed in a rectangular frame shape by connecting the ends of four long base members, in this embodiment, four base ropes 2a, 2a, 2b, 2b made of polyethylene having a diameter of 16 mm. ing. In addition, two muscle ropes 2c and 2d made of the same material as those of the base ropes 2a and 2b are provided at the inner center of the frame-shaped base ropes 2a and 2a and 2b and 2b. In other words, the ropes 2c and 2d are connected so that the ropes 2c and 2d are stretched over the base ropes 2a, 2a and 2b and 2b which are two opposite sides of the quadrangular frame. The base frame 2 intersects in the vertical and horizontal directions and has a lattice shape in plan view. Incidentally, since the specific gravity of polyethylene, which is the material of these ropes, is light, when the base frame 2 is installed on the sea, the base frame 2 itself floats and is located near the water surface. A base rope buoy 15 is detachably locked to each of the four corners of the base frame 2. These base rope buoys 15 are formed so as to float in water by filling the inside of a bag made of a polyvinyl chloride sheet material into a substantially cylindrical shape, and the base frame 2 is installed on the sea. At this time, it serves as a mark for confirming the position of the base frame 2. Incidentally, the water play facility shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is relatively small, and the outer dimension of the base frame 2 used in this facility is set to 10 m × 10 m. However, the external dimensions of the base frame and the number of muscle ropes can be arbitrarily selected according to the scale of the water play facility, in other words, the number of floating playground equipments to be locked to the base frame.

  In addition, although the base frame 2 in the said Example showed the example in which the muscle ropes 2c and 2d were horizontally mounted on the base ropes 2a and 2b which form a rectangular external shape, the muscle ropes 2c and 2d must be provided. It doesn't have to be. That is, for example, when only one floating play equipment 1 as a minimum unit is installed on the base frame body 2, the muscle ropes 2c and 2d are not necessary.

  The mooring means 3 includes a bottom-side installation anchor 20 installed on the seabed near the lower side of the base frame body 2, and a first string-like member that extends from the bottom-side installation anchor 20 and engages the base frame body 2. 21, a bottom side movement restricting portion 3 A composed of 21, a shore side installation anchor 22 installed on the shore opposite to the base frame body 2, and a first extending from the shore side installation anchor 22 and locked to the base frame body 2. It is comprised by the shore side movement control part 3B which consists of two string-like members 23. FIG.

  The bottom-side anchor 20 is a metal anchor and is set on the sea floor near the bottom of the base frame 2 and fixed to the sea floor with its weight and claws. These bottom-side installation anchors 20 are directly below a position where both ends of the base rope 2a and the muscle rope 2c arranged in parallel (laterally) with the shoreline are virtually extended a predetermined distance outward. 3 points each on the sea floor, directly below the position where the offshore ends of the base rope 2b and the muscle rope 2d, which are arranged perpendicular to the shoreline (arranged in the vertical direction), are virtually extended a predetermined distance outward. There are three places on the sea floor. Further, an anchor buoy 25 is provided above the bottom-side installation anchor 20 via an anchor rope 24. These anchor buoys 25 are formed so that the inside of a bag body made of a polyvinyl chloride sheet material in a substantially cylindrical shape is filled with air and floats on water. Will play a role.

  The first string-like member 21 is formed by connecting members made of three kinds of materials. That is, the central portion is a general rope 21a made of polyethylene, but one end side is formed of a stainless steel chain (metal strip) 21b, and the other end side is formed by an elastic member 21c having elasticity called a bungee rope. ing. Specifically, the stainless steel chain 21 b extends from the bottom side installation anchor 20, and the elastic member 21 c is locked to the base frame 2. Further, although not shown, an attachment member called a metal snap hook or a carabiner is attached to the end of the elastic member 21c. Therefore, the first string-like member 21 can be locked to the locked portion of the base frame body 2 with one touch. Incidentally, the length of the first string-like member 21 is determined according to the measurement result obtained by measuring the water level fluctuation due to tidal fluctuations, that is, the maximum water level and the minimum water level in advance.

  As described above, the end of the first string-like member 21 is formed by the elastic member 21c. This reduces the influence of the waves received by the water play facility, and thus stabilizes the water play facility. It is possible to maintain sex. That is, since the elastic member 21c expands and contracts in accordance with the movement of the wave, it can absorb the wave force, reduce the overall shaking of the water play facility, and excessive force is applied to the first string-like member 21. Can be prevented from being broken. Furthermore, even if the water level rises unexpectedly at high tide, the elastic member 21c extends, so that it is possible to prevent the first string-like member 21 from being stretched and broken.

  The shore-side anchor 22 is a resin bag formed in a bag shape and filled with sand to a weight of approximately 100 kg, and is fixed to the shore by being embedded in the shore sand. It has become. These shore-side anchors 22 are installed at three locations on the shore where the shore-side ends of the base rope 2b and the muscle rope 2d arranged perpendicular to the shoreline of the base frame 2 are virtually extended to the shore side. ing.

  The second string-like member 23 is a general polyethylene rope, and an attachment member called a metal snap hook or a carabiner is attached to one end, although not shown. Therefore, the second string-like member 23 can be locked to the locked portion of the base frame body 2 with one touch. The other end portion of the second string-like member 23 is fixed to a locking portion 22 a provided above the shore-side installation anchor 22. Note that a pole 26 is erected in the vicinity of the shore-side installation anchor 22, and this serves to clarify the place where the shore-side installation anchor 22 is embedded. Further, a plurality of guide buoys 27 are attached to the second string-like member 23. By the way, it is possible to use a jet ski or a small boat for the player to move from the shore to the water play facility, but it is also possible to move along the second string-like member 23. The two string-like members 23 function as ropes for guiding the player.

  FIG. 6 shows a water amusement facility according to another embodiment which is formed larger than the water amusement facility according to the above embodiment. The water amusement facility has an outer dimension of the base frame 2 of 30 m × 50 m. Is set. In addition, this water play facility has a plurality of muscle ropes 2c, 2d provided on the base frame 2, and there is a place where these muscle ropes 2c, 2d are not horizontally laid between the base ropes 2a, 2b. , Different from the previous embodiment. That is, in the part indicated by the arrow in FIG. 6, the vertical rope 2d is connected to the horizontal rope 2c and is not stretched over the base rope 2a. As described above, when the plurality of muscle ropes 2c and 2d are provided on the base frame body 2, the muscle ropes 2c and 2d do not necessarily have to be laid horizontally between the base ropes 2a and 2b. As shown in FIG. 6, the water amusement facility is installed at a position far from the shore (60 m from the shore-side installation anchor 22). This is also true for the small water play facilities mentioned above, but the location near the shore is easily affected by waves, making the water play facility unstable, and the location near the shore has a water depth. Since it is often shallow and a player who falls from a water play facility may be injured, consideration is given to avoiding these problems.

  In addition, although the floating play implement of the said embodiment gave as an example what was formed with the tarpaulin or the rubber covering cloth, it is not restricted to this, The material can be arbitrarily selected if it is a gas-impermeable thing. Moreover, although the polyethylene rope was shown as a suitable example about the elongate member which comprises a base frame, it is not necessarily restricted to this, Other ropes or a pipe-shaped thing can also be used. is there. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the base frame is formed in a quadrangular frame shape is shown, but various frame shapes such as other polygons or circles can be used. Further, the bottom side installation anchor and the shore side installation anchor are not limited to those shown in the above embodiment. That is, as long as the anchor can restrict the movement of the base frame, its shape, material, etc. can be freely selected. Furthermore, the material of the first string-like member is not limited to that described above, and can be arbitrarily selected.
