Abstract
A playground apparatus is provided which consists of a base having a central ring bearing mounted onto the ground. A stanchion extends upwardly form the central ring bearing in the base, so as to rotate thereabout. An elongate balance beam is pivotally mounted near the top of the stanchion for movement up and down. A seat assembly is located at a first end of the balance beam to receive a person. A structure is located at a second end of the balance beam, for counterbalancing the weight of the person in the seat assembly. This permits the person to rotate the stanchion through a complete revolution in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction and to move the balance beam up and down.
Claims4
A playground apparatus which comprises:
- a) a base having a central ring bearing mounted onto the ground;
- b) a stanchion extending upwardly from said central ring bearing in said base, so as to rotate thereabout;
- c) an elongate balance beam pivotally mounted near the top of said stanchion for movement up and down;
- d) a seat assembly located at a first end of said balance beam to receive a person;
- e) means located at a second end of said balance beam for counterbalancing the weight of the person in said seat, so as to permit the person to rotate said stanchion through a complete revolution in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction and to move said balance beam up and down;
- wherein said counterbalancing means includes:
- f) an egg-shaped housing having a first portion connected to the second end of said balance beam, whereby a second portion of said housing is separable from the first portion;
- g) a swing clasp on said housing for retaining the second portion to the first portion and
- h) a plurality of adjustable various sized barbell type weights, which can be placed in any combination onto the second end of said balance beam within said housing, to match the weight at the first end of said balance beam.
