Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a swing that a player swings by playing with his / her weight, and particularly relates to a novel sliding swing that is different from a conventional hanging swing. .

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional swing, a crossbar is hung on two ropes or chains suspended in parallel, and a player standing or sitting on it swings his / her weight back and forth to swing it. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, such hanging swings can be seen in any park, and because they are playground equipment that are always installed in childcare facilities such as nursery schools and kindergartens, and in elementary schools, there is nothing unusual for children. .

Also, the conventional swing swings in a constant arcuate trajectory with the rope or chain suspension as a fulcrum, so it is highly safe, but it only repeats the monotonous motion of moving the weight forward and backward, so that it does not Of course, it was lacking in fun for children in upper grades of elementary school.

For this reason, the swing is a playground equipment that anyone can play safely, but it is not a playground equipment to be installed at an exhibition site or an amusement park because it does not attract people's interest.

Therefore, the present invention provides a swing that can be safely played by anyone with a novelty and fun that overturns its preconceived concept, and makes it a novel playground equipment that can be installed at an exhibition site or an amusement park. Is a technical issue.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention relates to a sliding swing having a completely different model from a conventional hanging swing, which includes a bank forming a runway curved in a concave shape, and a play. It consists of a sliding board that can be moved left and right on the runway by a person standing in a standing posture and moving his / her weight, and opens in the center of the runway along the left-right direction in which the sliding board slides. A slit is formed, the sliding plate is supported on a trolley provided with a roller by a guide stick vertically attached to the lower surface thereof, and a portion of the guide stick is inserted into the slit, and the roller is It is characterized by being held by guide rails laid in parallel along the lower surface of the runway.

[Action]

The swing according to the present invention slides on the runway of the bank by swinging the sliding plate to the left or right by moving the weight of the sliding plate as if a player riding on the sliding plate manipulates the skateboard.

At this time, the bank, like the competition bank for skateboarding, forms a runway curved concavely,
A player who slides on the runway on the runway can enjoy the sensation as if he or she is playing a skateboarding game, and at the same time, can enjoy a wonderful speed and thrill that a conventional swing cannot.

Also, since the rollers of the runway are held by the guide rails, there is no risk that the runway will run off the runway of the bank like a skateboard, or jump over and overturn on the runway. Is sufficiently secured.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall external view showing a sliding swing according to the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are front and plan views showing an example of a bank and a sliding plate, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an essential part. .

In the figure, 1 is a bank in which a runway 3 curved in a concave shape is formed on an abutment 2 made of a metal pipe framework, and 4 is a runner standing on a runway 3 by moving his / her weight. Is a sliding board that can be moved left and right.

The runway 3 of the bank 1 is formed by arranging plate materials 5, 5 ... Which are made of corrosion-resistant synthetic wood and the like, and a slit 6 that opens in the left-right direction in which the slide plate 4 slides is formed in the center thereof. While being formed, protective fences 7, 7 ... For fall prevention are provided on both sides thereof.

On the other hand, the sliding board 4 is formed into a streamlined or oblong shape imitating a skateboard, and a handrail 8 and a circle-shaped safety fence 9 that are held by the player are provided on the upper surface thereof, and the lower surface thereof. Is a dolly 1 with a pair of rollers 10R and 10L on the front and back.
A guide stick 12 for supporting the sliding board 4 is vertically mounted on the top of the table 1.

In the sliding board 4, the guide stick 12 is inserted into the slit 6 formed in the center of the runway 3 and the carriage 11 attached to the lower end of the guide stick 12 is inserted.
The rollers 10R, 10L provided on the runway 3 are held by guide rails 13R, 13L laid in parallel along the lower surface of the runway 3 and on the runway 3 along the arcuate track of the guide rails 13R, 13L. It is designed to slide over.

It should be noted that the left and right ends of the runway 3 have stoppers 15 that collide with the runway plates 4 to restrict the swing width of the runways 3 and impacts when the runway plates 4 collide by urging the stoppers 15 toward the runway 3 side. Each of them is provided with a shock absorber 14 composed of a spring 16 for relieving the shock absorber.

In addition, reference numerals 17 and 17 in the figure are steps that serve as a stepping stone for the player to go up and down the runway 3.

Then, when the player riding on the sliding board 4 stands up with his legs spread out to the left and right, and heighs alternately on his left and right legs, the sliding board 4 swings to the left and right, and the swing width gradually increases. As it gets bigger, the speed gradually increases, and it starts to slide left and right on Runway 3.

And, since this sliding board 4 has the same structure as a skateboard which is said to have higher speed than roller skating, a player riding on the sliding board 4 has a great sense of speed not found on conventional swings. You can enjoy the thrill.

Further, the rollers 10R, 10L of the sliding board 4 are C-channel steel guide rails 13R, which are laid in parallel along the runway 3.
It is held at 13L to prevent the skid plate 4 from overturning or jumping out of the runway 3, so even those who can not ride a skateboard can safely experience the same play as a skateboard, at the same time. You can enjoy the pleasure as you glide as well as a skateboard expert.

If the guide stick 12 is rotatably provided in the horizontal direction with respect to the slide plate 4 or the carriage 11, the slide plate 4 is slid along the runway 3 while the slide plate 4 is rotated 180 ° or 360 °. You can also enjoy the advanced techniques of turning skateboards.

Therefore, it is a playground equipment that can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults, and it has the uniqueness and fun that it can be installed at exhibition venues and amusement parks.

In addition, if a handrail 8 that can be grasped by the left and right hands is provided on the sliding board 4,
There is no risk that the player will be shaken off from the sliding board 4 and the safety is further improved. At the same time, the weight can be surely and smoothly moved when the sliding board 4 is swung, and the sliding speed is fast. Can be accelerated to.

Also, if a safety fence 9 is provided in addition to the handrail 8, even children in lower grades of elementary school can safely ride it.

Furthermore, if shock absorbers 14, 14 are provided at both ends of the runway 3, it is possible to prevent a fall accident due to reckless running.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, the sliding swing according to the present invention allows a person who cannot skateboard to fully enjoy the wonderful speed and thrill like a skateboard that cannot be obtained by the conventional hanging swing. It has a very excellent effect that

Therefore, it has the usefulness that it can be installed at the venue of an exposition or an amusement park.
