Abstract
Embodiments of an arch-based play system are disclosed. The system incorporates an arch assembly or a group of arch assemblies. Play elements are connected to the arch assembly or assemblies. The system is modular in nature such that there are a wide variety of different possible implementation configurations. The wide variety of possible implementation configurations corresponds to a wide variety of different play experiences.
Claims20
A play system, comprising:
- a first arch having a first end, a second end, and a substantially continuous curvature along a length from the first end to the second end;
- a second arch that overlaps the first arch, the second arch having a first end, a second end, and a substantially continuous curvature along a length from the first end to the second end;
- and
- a piece of playground equipment attached to at least one of the first and second arches.
1 more element
A play system positioned on a surface, the play system comprising:
- at least one piece of playground equipment;
- an arch extending upwardly from the surface, the arch having a first end, a second end, and a length from the first end to the second end, wherein a majority of the length of the arch is curved;
- and
- a plurality of attachment points on the arch between the first and second ends for the at least one piece of playground equipment.
1 more element
A play system positioned on a surface, the play system comprising:
- an arch situated within an arch plane, wherein the arch comprises an attachment point located between first and second ends of the arch, the first and second ends of the arch being vertically aligned with opposite sides of a circumference of an imaginary circle that extends horizontally along the surface and is perpendicular to the arch plane, wherein at the attachment point the arch is at an angle other than perpendicular to the imaginary circle;
- and
- a play element at least partially supported by the attachment point, the play element extending at least partially into an area that is neither directly above nor directly below the imaginary circle.
