Jungle gym joint

A jungle gym joint having:

• a joint main body having a plurality of joint shafts projecting therefrom configured to connect to a plurality of pipes individually, and a plurality of flat plate portions that projects from the joint main body;
• a plurality of rotary members, each comprising:
• a first end side that is configured to connect to one of the plurality of pipes;
• a second end side;
• and
• a bifurcate portion formed on the second end side of the rotary member,
• wherein the bifurcate portion is configured to accept and pivotably hold a respective one of the flat plate portions of the joint main body about a pivot axis extending between two fork portions of the bifurcate portion to form a folding portion configured to fold the one of the plurality of pipes relative to other ones of the plurality of pipes;
• and
• a plurality of cover members, each configured to be mounted on an outer circumference of a respective one of the folding portions so as to rotate about an axis of the cover member while being restricted from moving along the axis of the cover member, wherein each cover member comprises:
• a circumferential wall;
• a pair of opposing restricting wall portions axially extending from the circumferential wall that restrict the folding portion from folding when the cover member is rotated such that the restricting wall portions are misaligned with the pivot axis and abut opposing sidewall portions of the flat plate portion to prevent folding about the pivot axis;
• and
• a pair of opposing cutout portions defined circumferentially between the restricting wall portions that are configured to release the folding restriction on the folding portion when the cover member is rotated such that the restricting wall portions are axially aligned with the pivot axis and the cutout portions are aligned with the sidewall portions of the flat plate portion to allow folding about the pivot axis.
