Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a great variety of games to be enjoyed by providing a plurality of struts fixed at intervals, scaffoldings mounted to the struts and water jetting nozzles provided near the scaffoldings. CONSTITUTION:Struts 1 have all the same height, while scaffoldings 2 have different heights respectively. When a layer does not ride on the scaffolding 2 for example, each water jetting nozzle 3 provided in a pit 4 provided in the ground on which the strut 1 is erected stops water jet by closing a solenoid valve 5, and when he rides on the scaffolding 2, the electromagnetic valve 5 is opened to jet water. Thus, he can enjoy not only a game of getting through the struts 1 but also a thrill of sudden blow-up of fountain at the same time.

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 tube shape with iron rods, and this fort-like play equipment is also made of artificial or natural wood. A variety of play equipment such as slides and swings are assembled using horizontal bars.
The so-called group-type large-scale outdoor play equipment is gaining popularity.

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

[Invention or problem to be solved]

However, this type of outdoor play equipment is easy to get tired of because it only requires movement such as falling down and climbing up.

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, an object of the present invention is to provide outdoor entertainment that allows the user to enjoy more varied play.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention includes a plurality of pillars fixed at intervals,
It is characterized in that it consists of a scaffold attached to the pillar and a water jet nozzle provided near the scaffold.

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

FIG. 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of the outdoor play equipment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment of the outdoor play equipment of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outdoor play equipment of the present invention includes a plurality of gate-shaped supports 1 fixed vertically at intervals, and a scaffold 2 installed horizontally within the supports l. It consists of a water jet nozzle 3 provided at the lower part between the pillars 1. In addition, the nozzle 3 may be provided above or to the side of the support l instead of being provided in the lower part between the support supports 1. The struts 1 may be arranged in a straight line or in a curved line when viewed from a plane. The heights of the pillars 1 are all the same, but the heights of the scaffolds 2 are different, so the player can
You can play by climbing through the pillars L while riding on the scaffolding 2.

The water spouting nozzle 3 is provided in a pit 4 provided in the ground on which a support l is erected.

Water may be ejected from each water ejection nozzle 3 at all times, but it is also possible to provide an electromagnetic valve 5 for each water ejection nozzle 3 and to electrically link the electromagnetic valve 5 and the scaffolding 2 of the support 1. good. That is,
The load when a person steps on the scaffold 2 may be detected by a load sensor (not shown) provided on the scaffold 2, and the electromagnetic valve 5 may be opened or closed by an electric signal from the load sensor. For example, when no player is on the scaffold 2 of the pillar I, the solenoid valve 5 is closed to stop the water fountain from the nozzle 3, and when a player is on the scaffold 2, the solenoid valve 5 is opened. Water is jetted from nozzle 3. By this, the pillar l
In addition to the playful element of crawling through the inside, you can also experience the thrill of seeing the fountain suddenly blow up.

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

The upper part of the pit 4 is covered with a net-like lid 7 to prevent people from falling into the pit 4 even if they lose their footing.

In addition to the above-mentioned portal type, the support l can be of the ■ shape as shown in Figure 3 (A), the slanted one as shown in Figure 3 (B), and the slanted type as shown in Figure 3 (C). Alternatively, the scaffold may be inclined, or may be Y-shaped as shown in Figure (D).

In addition to the above-mentioned load sensor, the means for detecting the player may be one using an ultrasonic wave or an optical sensor. In this case, the detection means is installed near the scaffolding 2 and can control on/off the water spouting from the water spouting nozzle 3 when the player approaches the scaffolding 2.

As described above, the manner in which water is ejected from the water ejection nozzle 3 is controlled by controlling the water ejection on/off by operating the solenoid valve 5 of the water ejection nozzle 3 based on the signal from the load sensor. Alternatively, the water may be spouted according to a predetermined program set in advance, or the solenoid valve 5 of the water spout nozzle 3 may be operated using a controller 8 having a function of randomly generating an activation signal for the solenoid valve 5. However, the above-mentioned ultrasonic wave or optical sensor may be used as the detection means, and water may be ejected from an unspecified water ejecting nozzle 3 when a player approaches the scaffold 2.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, a tank 9 containing a colored liquid whose color disappears over time may be provided on the outlet side of the pump 6, and the colored liquid may be ejected from the water ejecting nozzle 3.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in addition to the playful element of passing through the gate-shaped support, useful effects such as the ability to enjoy the thrill of the sudden disappearance or appearance of a fountain are brought about.
