Abstract

PURPOSE:To amuse a play full of variety since a jet of water is suddenly jetted or stopped in addition to a play on a net by providing a plurality of nozzles for a jet of water, designed to jet water toward a net, in the vicinity of the net. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of nozzles 3 are located at intervals of a given distance in a pit 4 built in a ground below a net 1. Water may be always jetted through the nozzles 3. But, a servo type solenoid valve 5 is mounted on the nozzle 3, a plurality of load detectors are arranged at intervals of a given distance in the net 1 or to the lock end part of the net 1, and the solenoid valve 5 is operated by means of an electric signal for a load detected by the load detector. Through operation of the solenoid valve, water jetted through the nozzle 3 is controlled and brought into an ON and an OFF-state. This constitution simultaneously amuses a thrill, e.g. a sudden jet of water, in addition to a play element, e.g. a play to ride on the net 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to outdoor play equipment, and particularly to outdoor play equipment that allows the user to enjoy more varied play.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, outdoor play equipment such as slides and swings were installed independently in parks, etc., but in recent years, fake or natural wood has been assembled into a tubular shape using iron rods, and this tubular play equipment is also made of artificial wood or natural wood and iron rods. Various play equipment such as slides and swings were assembled by
So-called group-type large-scale outdoor play equipment is gaining popularity.

This type of outdoor play equipment allows a large number of people to play at the same time, compared to play equipment that is installed independently, and does not require a large installation area compared to the number of people who can play. It has many advantages.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, this type of outdoor play equipment is easy to get tired of because it only allows movement such as hanging or climbing.

Therefore, there is a desire to develop outdoor play equipment that allows players to enjoy more varied play, but such play equipment has not yet been proposed.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide outdoor play equipment that allows players to enjoy more varied play.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention is characterized in that, in an outdoor play equipment consisting of a net stretched horizontally on the ground, a plurality of water jetting nozzles for jetting water toward the net are provided near the net. It has the following.

Next, one embodiment of the outdoor play equipment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the outdoor play equipment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing one embodiment of the outdoor play equipment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outdoor play equipment of the present invention includes a net 1 stretched horizontally on the ground by bark posts 2, and a net 1 provided at the lower part of the net 1 that allows water to flow toward the net 1. It consists of a plurality of water jet nozzles 3 for spouting water. Note that the nozzle 3 is not limited to the lower part of the net 1, but may be provided in the upper part or the side part of the net 1. The mesh of the net 1 is so large that the player cannot escape, and the player plays on the net. A plurality of nozzles 3 are provided at predetermined intervals in a bit 4 provided on the ground below the net 1. Although water may be jetted out from each nozzle 3 at all times, a plurality of solenoid valves 5 such as a servo type are provided in the nozzle 3 at predetermined intervals within the net 1 or at the locking end of the net 1. Load detector (
(not shown) may be provided, and the electromagnetic valve 5 may be actuated by the electrical signal of the load detected by this load detector, thereby controlling on/off the water ejected from the nozzle 3. For example, when a player steps on net 1, the electrical signal of the largest load is detected from the load detector closest to the point where the player steps on, and this electrical signal causes the Water is jetted from a nozzle 3 installed in the. As a result, in addition to the playful element of riding on the net 1, the user can also enjoy the thrill of suddenly gushing water.

The water spouted from the nozzle 3 is stored in the bit 4 and is circulated and supplied to the nozzle 3 again by the pump 6.

A net-like lid 7 is placed over the top of the bit 4 to prevent the player from falling into the bit 4 even if he or she loses his or her foot.

In order to cause water to be ejected from the nozzle 3, a detection means using an ultrasonic wave or an optical sensor is provided near the net 1 to detect a player, and a detection signal from this detection means causes the nozzle 3 to emit water. The water spouted from the tank may be controlled on/off.

In addition, as another method of spouting water from the nozzle 3, as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, water may be ejected randomly from unspecified nozzles 3.

Furthermore, colored water whose color disappears after a predetermined period of time may be ejected from the nozzle 3.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in addition to playing online, the fountain suddenly spouts out and stops, so it is possible to enjoy more varied play, which is a useful effect. It will be done.
