Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spring game intended for play areas.
  • spring games include a metal structure, resistant wood or hard plastic, which is fixed to a coil spring anchored in the ground at its lower end. Users sit on this structure and can swing thanks to the sufficient lateral flexibility of the spring.
  • the structure can take the form of characters or animals and be made in planar form, the user coming to sit astride a part forming a seat.
  • the structure can also be produced in volume.
  • rigid materials such as metal or wood, are used to produce the structure, the implementation of which is complex and costly, in particular for bulk structures.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a spring game comprising a volume structure and in which the stresses exerted on the structure are reduced, thus making it possible to use, for the manufacture of the structure, plastics, in particular polyethylene.
  • the present invention relates to a spring game comprising a helical spring whose lower end is fixed to an anchoring device in the ground and comprising a volume structure intended to support the user and fixed to the upper end of the helical spring by connection means, characterized in that it comprises inside the volume structure a rigid frame integral with said connection means and comprising a stress distribution part, preferably frustoconical, recessed, at least partially, in a housing or on a boss of corresponding shape, formed in the volume structure.
  • the transverse and shear stresses induced by the oscillation of the spring are distributed over a large contact surface between the side wall of the distribution piece and the wall of the housing or the boss and the risks of cracking of the volume structure are significantly reduced.
  • the handles and the toe clips with which the spring clearance is provided are integral with the rigid frame, which then absorbs the stresses caused by the forces exerted by the user to swing.
  • the axis of the latter is parallel to that of the helical spring in its rest position, or preferably coincides with it.
  • the volume structure is made of plastic, for example polyethylene.
  • the plastic volume structure can be produced in a single block, in particular by rotational molding.
  • the handles and / or the toe clips are made removable.
  • the handles and / or the toe clips protruding from the plastic volume structure and the rigid frame being included inside the said volume structure, said handles and / or the foot clips cannot be fixed on the rigid frame only from the outside of the plastic structure.
  • said toe clips may be integral, and not removable, with the rigid frame, the volume structure coming to fit over the toe clips.
  • the plastic structure can be produced by molding two symmetrical blocks gathered around the rigid frame. The handles and the toe clips can then be secured and not removable from the rigid frame.
  • plastic volume structure can be produced by any other usual molding process, for example, by injection or by extrusion / blowing.
  • Figure 1 shows a spring game according to the invention, generally designated by 1, comprising in its lower part an anchoring device 2.
  • the anchoring device 2 comprises an anchoring stool 3 provided with one or more feet 4 and one or more plates 5, for example of plywood, on which said legs are fixed 4.
  • the anchoring device 2 is arranged so that the anchoring stool 3 is horizontal at ground level and the plates 5 are located at a certain depth underground.
  • the invention is however not limited to the anchoring device 2 illustrated which can be in other forms, for example in the form of a simple concrete slab at ground level.
  • a connecting piece 6 a is fixed on the upper part of the anchoring stool 3.
  • This connecting piece 6 a of substantially cylindrical shape in the example illustrated, comprises an upper surface of helical profile provided with a groove 7 suitable in accommodating a turn of a helical spring 8.
  • the connecting piece 6 a has a housing 9 for the lower end of the helical spring 8, said housing 9 being vertically offset from the surface of the connecting piece 6 has receiving the adjacent turn of the coil spring 8.
  • the coil spring 8 is attached to the upper surface 6a of the connecting piece in the groove 7 by 10 U-shaped bolts.
  • the last turn of the latter is housed in a connecting piece 6 b of the same type as the previous one, the helical profile surface of the connecting piece 6 b being this time facing down.
  • the spring clearance according to the invention comprises a rigid frame 11 comprising a lower horizontal plate of substantially rectangular shape 12 as well as a branch 13 situated in a median plane of the plate 12 parallel to the longest sides 14 of said plate.
  • the branch 13 is inclined relative to the vertical axis 15 of the helical spring 8, in the rest position, and is fixed near one of the short sides 16 of the rectangular plate 12.
  • the rectangular plate 12 protrudes relative to the connecting piece 6 b , allowing the establishment of two toe clips 17 fixed on either side of the branch 13 on the underside of the rectangular plate 12.
  • the toe clips 17 have, as best seen in Figures 2 and 3, a curved shape with one end 18 fixed, removably or not, to the branch 13 (FIG. 1) or to the plate 12 (FIGS. 2 and 3) and a free end 19 deviating from the branch 13.
  • FIG. 5 shows a variant for fixing the toe clips 17 on the underside of the rectangular plate 12.
  • the toe clips are detachably fixed, by being screwed, for example, into tapped holes made in the surface bottom of the rectangular plate 12.
  • Handles 21 are fixed at the free upper end 20 of branch 13. Said handles 21 have plates 22 a and 22 k fixed on either side of the free end 20 of branch 13 by rivets or analogs 23. The plates 22 a and 22 b extend into tubes 24 a and 24 b in a direction perpendicular to the surface of said plates 22 a and 22 b . In the examples illustrated, the handles 21 are removable and the rivets 23 can be coupled to holes 25 made at different heights on the end 20 of the branch 13.
  • the handles can be rigidly fixed, and not removable, to the branch 13.
  • a volume structure preferably made of plastic 26, is fixed to the rectangular plate 12, and covers the rigid frame 11.
  • housings are provided in the volume structure 26 at the handles 21 so that the handles 21 come out of said volume structure 26.
  • the volume structure 26 covers the rectangular plate 12 and housings in the volume structure 26 are also provided, if necessary, to allow the passage of the toe clips.
  • the volume structure 26 is preferably hollow and serves as a seat, on its upper part 27, for users of the game on spring 1.
  • the volume structure 26 is fixed to the periphery of the rectangular plate 12 by inserts 28 which are housed in blind holes in the volume structure 26.
  • the connecting piece 6 b has on its upper part housings 29 intended to receive the head of the inserts 28.
  • the truncated cone 30, preferably hollow, is closed at its largest base 31 which is fixed to the rectangular plate 12 by rivets, or the like 32, one end of which rests on said large base 31 inside the truncated cone 30 and the other end rests on the bottom 33 of a housing formed in the center of the helical surface of the connecting piece 6b , the rod of said rivet 32 passing through the rectangular plate 12.
  • the truncated cone 30 comes to be embedded in the interior of the volume structure 26 in a housing 34 of corresponding shape, so that the side wall of the truncated cone 30 rests on the interior surface of the housing 34.
  • the truncated cone can be replaced by a cylinder or the like which fits into a housing of corresponding shape in the volume structure.
  • the truncated cone 30 or the cylinder can be produced in a single block with the rigid frame 11.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment of the invention in which a connecting piece 6 b ′ is hollowed out at its center so as to be able to accommodate a hollow truncated cone 30 ′.
  • the truncated cone 30 ' has on its larger base a rectangular flange 12' curved outwards, said flange 12 'resting on the upper face of said connecting piece 6 b '.
  • the volume structure 26 ′ has in its lower part a boss 35 of frustoconical shape, capable of being embedded in the truncated cone 30'.
  • the axis of the truncated cone 30 ′ coincides with the axis of the spring 8 so that said cone 30 ′ does not interfere with the transverse oscillations of the helical spring 8.
  • the operation of the spring play 1 according to the invention is as follows: the user sits on the upper part 27 of the volume structure 26, and respectively 26 ′, his feet and his hands resting respectively on the wedges- feet 17 and the handles 21.
  • the helical spring 8 is then slightly in compression under the effect of the weight of the user and the inserts 28 connecting the volume structure to the frame are only subjected to low forces because the lower part of the volume structure 26 rests on the rectangular plate 12 or the flange 12 '.
