Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention (industrial application field) This invention relates to a simple play facility such as a simple sandbox installed outdoors.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a simple sandbox, an assembly type sandpit has been proposed in which a peripheral wall and a bottom wall are formed of, for example, synthetic resin.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) For this reason, when it rains, rainwater accumulates in the storage recess and the sand is soaked, and not only can the accumulated rainwater not be pumped out, but it takes a long time for the rainwater to evaporate. The problem is that it takes time and you can't play right away even if it's sunny.

Structure of the invention (means for solving the problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, this invention provides a simple play facility in which a play medium such as sand, sawdust, foam beads, etc. is stored in a storage recess, at least. A structure is adopted in which a water passage part is provided on a part of the bottom wall or the lower end of the peripheral wall to prevent the play medium from passing therethrough and to allow water to pass therethrough.

(Function) Therefore, in the simple play facility of this invention,
Rainwater that falls within the storage recess flows out from the water passage, and the play medium dries quickly.

(Example) An example in which this invention is implemented in a simple sand pit will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

The simple sandbox 1 is composed of a peripheral wall 2 having a substantially rectangular annular shape in plan and a bottom wall 3 provided on the lower surface of the peripheral wall 2, both of which form a storage recess 4 for storing sand S as a play medium.

As shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral wall 2 is provided with upper and lower air chambers 5 and 6 formed by welding synthetic resin sheets and having an annular cross section, so that a child can sit thereon. The bottom wall 3 is a frame-shaped part 7 made of a synthetic resin sheet welded to the entire lower surface of the peripheral wall 2.
and a nonwoven fabric 8 made of chemical fiber as a water passage welded to the opening 7a of the frame-shaped portion 7.

A cover 9 made of a synthetic resin sheet and formed in the shape of a square box with an open bottom is removably attached to the upper part of the peripheral wall 2. An opening 10 having a mesh body 10a for allowing rainwater to pass through is provided in the center of the cover 9 to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the cover 9.

Incidentally, a brick pattern 11 is provided on the inner and outer surfaces of the peripheral wall 2 to create the atmosphere of a sandbox.

Now, in the simple sandbox 1 of this embodiment, the rainwater that falls in the storage recess 4 during rain flows out from the nonwoven fabric 8 provided on the bottom wall 3, so that the sand is not immersed in rainwater as in the conventional simple sandbox. The sand S in the storage recess 4 dries quickly, and the user can play in the sandbox 1 as soon as the weather clears.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the cover 9 covering the opening of the peripheral wall 2 is removably provided, it is possible to prevent cats, dogs, etc. from entering the accommodation recess 4 and soiling the sand S when the simple sandbox 1 is not in use. It is possible to prevent dust carried by the wind from entering the recess 4.

(Another Embodiment) Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 12 are configured. The peripheral wall 14 and the bottom wall 15 are integrally formed from a synthetic resin sheet. The upper edge of the peripheral wall 14 is bent to cover the upper end surface of the support frame 12, and is clamped and fixed to the support frame 12 by side-shaped clamps 16 made of resin attached at predetermined intervals. Misalignment is prevented.

Openings are provided at appropriate positions at the lower end of the peripheral wall 14 and at the corners of the bottom wall 15, and woven fabrics 17 made of chemical fibers are provided therein as water passages. Also, side plate 13
A plurality of slits 18 are transparently provided at positions corresponding to the woven fabric 17 provided on the peripheral wall 14.

In this example, the peripheral wall 14 is formed of one synthetic resin sheet, but since the peripheral wall 14 is supported by the support frame 12, no excessive force is applied to the peripheral wall 14, and damage to the peripheral wall 14 is prevented. It can be prevented.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be implemented as follows.

(1) As shown in Fig. 4, an air ball 19 is welded to the center of the back surface of a cover 9 that is removably attached to the upper part of the peripheral wall 2, so that the center of the cover 9 is the highest. . In this way, rainwater can be prevented from flowing down the slope of the cover 9 and accumulating on the cover 9 when it rains.

(2) Use sawdust, foam beads, etc. as play media.

(3) The peripheral wall and bottom wall shall be made of water-resistant metal plates such as stainless steel. In this case, a mesh wire gauze that does not allow the play medium to pass through may be used as the water passage portion.

Effects of the device As detailed above, according to this device, the rainwater that falls inside the storage recess during rainfall flows out from the water passage, so the sand is not immersed in rainwater, and the sand inside the storage recess is It has the excellent effect of speeding up the drying of play media.
