Embodiment Construction

[0040] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 , which shows a partially constructed or partially completed play set of an alternative embodiment of an aspect of the present invention. Figure 2 to Figure 6 Play equipment is shown in various stages of construction according to this aspect of the invention. The play equipment is in the form of a modular children's playground 10 which includes a frame structure, generally indicated at 11, including a frame structure such as Figure 2 to Figure 6 A matrix of interconnected rod members 12 are shown 12a to 12i. Rod member 12 such as Figure 2 to Figure 6 The rod members 12a to 12f are passed through a rod joint assembly 14 such as Figure 2 to Figure 6 The rod joint assemblies 14af are interconnected. The play equipment 10 includes other joint assemblies, such as connecting rod members 12a and 12g with Figure 2 to Figure 6 The rod members 12j are interconnected by joint assemblies 14aj. Each of joint assemblies 12, such as joint ass...

Abstract

The present invention relates broadly to a rail joint assembly and relates particularly, although not exclusively, to a play apparatus incorporating said joint assembly and a method of construction thereof. The play apparatus comprises a framework structure including interconnected rail members and a plurality of joint assemblies each arranged to interconnect at least a pair of the rail members toconstruct the framework structure. Each of the joint assemblies includes a structural hub configured for detachable connection to an end of one of the rail members and a joint housing mounted about the structural hub and including one or more bracket anchorages for securement of one or more panel brackets to which a panel of the play apparatus is removably mounted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a rod joint assembly, and in particular but not exclusively to play equipment including the joint assembly. Background technique [0002] In engaging children with devices, designers are being challenged to construct devices that are engaging, fun to interact with, and safe. Playground equipment or playgrounds may be constructed of frame structures encased in molded plastic panels. The frame structure provides the necessary stability for the playground. Molded panels are used to surround the playground and provide visual appeal through graphics and vibrant colours. [0003] The construction and construction of playgrounds is often quite complex or technical, requiring a range of tools and specialized skills. This means that playgrounds are not only expensive to build, but also expensive to install. Once built, playgrounds are not amenable to reconfiguration, for example, requiring expansion to include addi...
