DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A hybrid play system of the present invention and a cubic play unit or a rectangular parallelepiped play unit constituting the hybrid play system of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 16 are conceptual views of a cubic game unit.

As shown in the figure, the cubic game unit 10 has a beam member 12 which is bridged around the sides of the cube and fixed to each other. The framework composed of twelve beam members 12 in total is manufactured sufficiently strong in consideration of various safety standards.

In the illustrated embodiment, the beam member 12 is a square pipe made of aluminum having a square cross section, but any material and cross sectional shape can be used as long as it has a predetermined strength and workability. good. For example, plastic, carbon material, wood, and bamboo can be used. The beam members 12 are also rigidly connected and fixed to each other by various methods such as bolts / nuts, welding, and adhesives.

The cubic game unit 10 is also
Inside this frame, there are various kinds of pre-assembled play members 14. The type of play member 14 is not particularly limited, and may be of any type as long as it can be assembled in advance within this frame.

Alternatively, an empty unit consisting only of the beam member 12 without the play member 14 may be manufactured, and the play member 14 may be detachably attached to the empty unit in a cartridge type.

The length of one side of the cubic game unit 10 is about 2 m in the illustrated embodiment, but 1.5.
About 3.0 m is preferable from the viewpoint of easy transportation, easy handling, and safety when a plurality of sheets are stacked. The length of one side of the cubic game unit 10 is 1.5 to 3.
In the case of 0 m, the units can be stacked in two or three stages in the height direction.

1 to 16 show an example of a cube in which all beam members 12 constituting the frame have the same length, and the height or the lateral length is twice the length of the other side. However, as shown in FIG. 18, a rectangular parallelepiped whose vertical and horizontal lengths are twice the height, or an integer whose ratio of each side is three times or more is shown. It can also be a double box.

FIG. 17 is a conceptual diagram showing a state where a hybrid play system is constructed by utilizing the inclined surface of the stadium-shaped stadium.

This hybrid game system has about 3
00 cubic units are used.

In this hybrid play system, a cubic play unit 10 in which a play member 14 is pre-assembled and an empty unit consisting of a beam member 12 without the play member 14 are used in a mixed manner. Which type of play member 14 the cubic play unit 10 is installed in which part of the hybrid play system is arbitrarily selected depending on the purpose of the hybrid play system and the type of user.

It is expected that many hybrid play systems will be constructed outdoors, but in order to be used in rainy weather, a canopy is attached to the upper surface of the uppermost unit and a floor is attached to the lower surface of the intermediate step. You can also do it.

The hybrid play system can also be made by first making a framework like a jungle gym using a number of empty units and then later incorporating the play members 14 in place in cartridge form, or When constructing a framework like a jungle gym, the play members 14 may be sequentially detachably incorporated.

19 and 20 show another embodiment of the present invention in which the hybrid play system as shown in FIG. 17 can be constructed.

The beam members 22 shown in FIG. 19 may have the same length, or may have two or three times the length in combination.

Similar to the beam member 12 described above, the beam member 2
2 may have any cross-sectional shape and material as long as it has predetermined strength and workability.

A joint member 26 suitable for connecting the wooden beam members 22 is shown in FIG. The joint member 26 includes a dice-shaped core component 26a,
It is composed of connecting parts 26b and 26c fixed to the core part 26a by bolts. As best shown in FIG. 22, the connection part 26b is used when connecting the beam members 22 in the vertical direction, and the connection part 26c is used when connecting the beam members 22 in the horizontal direction. To do. Further, referring to FIG. 23, the floor member 2
Shown is a support member 28 having a hook-shaped cross section for use in connecting 7 to the horizontal beam member 22.

20 (a) to 20 (d), the beam member 22 is connected and fixed by using the joint member 26, and after the cubic or rectangular parallelepiped frame is constructed, various types are assembled to the beam member 22. 3 shows a play member 30 of this type.

As the play member 30, the play member 14 as shown and used in FIGS. 1 to 16 is included.
And so on.

Although not illustrated in the play member 30,
An attachment mechanism having a structure that can be easily attached to the beam member 22 and that can be disassembled and does not easily come off is provided.

Next, a method of constructing the hybrid play system according to the present invention will be described. When using the cubic play unit 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 16, various types of cubic play units 1 are used.
0 and an empty unit consisting only of the beam member 12 without the play member 14 are mass-produced in the factory.

These are transported to the site and are arranged side by side or vertically stacked on the foundation formed at the place where the hybrid play system is to be constructed, and the units adjacent to each other are sequentially fixed using appropriate fixing means. Connect and fix.

By repeating this for the number of prepared units, the hybrid play system can be constructed easily and in a short time.

FIG. 24 is a perspective view of a hybrid game system of a relatively small scale constructed in this manner.

Alternatively, an empty unit may be produced at the factory and the play member 14 may be incorporated on the spot. Play material 1
4 is produced in a plurality of factories, or when the play member 14 is simple and easy to assemble, it is more efficient to assemble it directly on site.

When the members shown in FIGS. 21 to 23 are used, although the beam member 22, the joint member 26 and the play member 30 have to be assembled on site, these members can be manually or simply used. Since it can be transported to the site by using various transporting means, there is an effect that the hybrid game system can be constructed and reconstructed (including expansion and contraction) in the place of virtually any location condition.

FIGS. 25 and 26 are perspective views of the framework before the play member 30 is incorporated and a hybrid play system of a relatively small scale constructed in this manner.

[0042]

The cubic play unit or the rectangular parallelepiped play unit of the present invention is unitized to drastically reduce the manufacturing cost thereof, and the design of strength and life of each member is concentrated. Since it can be managed, it can easily meet various safety standards.

Further, since the hybrid game system of the present invention is constructed by simply combining and fixing a plurality of unitized ones, it is very easy and simple to carry out work on site if the foundation is properly set. is there.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the hybrid play system is composed only of a standardized beam member, a joint member and a play member.

Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be kept low, and the on-site work becomes extremely simple and simple. Further, in any of the modes, there is an effect that the hybrid game system can be easily modified and developed at low cost.
