Play apparatus and elastic mechanism

Abstract

A slide play apparatus for sliding not only on the surface of snow but also on the surfaces of lawn and sand. The slide play apparatus cushions an impact from a sliding surface to a player and is excellent in operability. The play apparatus (1) includes a body part (2) having a generally cylindrical shape and including a lower board (7) which contacts with the sliding surface, an upper board (6) positioned over the lower board (7), a nose plate (8) which connects one end of the lower board (7) with that of the upper board (6), and a tail plate (9) which connects the other end of the lower board (7) with that of the upper board (6), and a blade part (3) which is provided inside the body part (2) and made of a pair of blades arranged obliquely with respect to a longitudinal direction axis of the lower board (7) so as to present a substantially X-shape in a plan view, wherein each blade is a sheet-like elastic member, and has contact parts contacted with an upper surface of the lower board (6), curved parts provided on a side of the nose plate (8) and on that of the tail plate (9), and fixation parts fixed to a lower surface of the upper board (6).
