Monkey bar joiner

Abstract

A monkey bar joiner (10) comprising an elongate first body portion (12) defining an inner surface (14) and an opposed arcuate outer surface (16) having an intermediate shoulder (18), with at least one threaded aperture (20) defined from said outer (16) to inner (14) surfaces. Also included is an elongate second body portion (22) defining an inner surface (24) and an opposed arcuate outer surface (26) with a corresponding intermediate shoulder (28), the inner surface (24) forming an abutment (30). Joiner (10) also includes at least one threaded fastener 32 configured for operative threaded engagement within the at least one threaded aperture (20), wherein the body portions (12 and 22) are combinable so that the respective inner surfaces (14 and 24) complementarily abut and an end of a monkey bar 6 is receivable about the outer surfaces (16 and 26) to lie against the shoulders (18 and 28). The threaded fastener (32) is screwable to urge against the abutment 30 to urge the body portions (12 and 22) apart so that the respective arcuate outer surfaces (16 and 26) frictionally engage an inner surface of the monkey bar (6) to join two monkey bars in a continuous and substantially flush manner.
