Embodiment Construction

[0023] Firstly, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a stand according to the present invention is indicated generally at 10 and comprises four legs 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 . The stand may be made of any suitably strong and durable material, preferably metal. In this case, the accessories are usually welded together.

[0024] Said legs 20, 30, 40, 50 are made of square cross-section hollow tubes with rounded longitudinal edges. Each of said legs 20, 30, 40, 50 comprises a flat base member which is curved at one end in an arcuate shape to form a shorter straight upstanding member positioned perpendicularly relative to the base member. Both sides of each leg 20, 30, 40, 50 are flat.

[0025] The legs 20, 30, 40, 50 of the stand are oriented such that the base elements are substantially parallel to the load-bearing surface, while the upright elements are oriented vertically. The legs 20, 30, 40, 50 are arranged such that the upstanding elements are immediately adjacent to each other, thereb...

Abstract

The invention discloses a support for a play apparatus comprising a plurality of legs (20, 30, 40, 50), each leg (20, 30, 40, 50) having an elongate base member for contacting the ground and an elongate support member arranged substantially perpendicularly to the base member. Each support member is hingably connected to another support member such that the legs are movable between an erected position in which the support members define an opening (60) for engagement with the play apparatus and the base members extend outwardly from the opening (60), and a folded position in which the base members are substantially parallel to each other. A play apparatus is also disclosed comprising a support (10) according to the invention in the erected position, a play apparatus support member (110) which is closely received within the opening (60), and a play apparatus structure mounted on the play apparatus support member (110).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to toy apparatus, and more particularly to toy apparatus such as carousel horses which are easily folded away for compact storage. Background technique [0002] Larger toy installations such as carousels are generally reserved for outdoor use due to storage issues. In particular, carousels typically remain upright once installed. Accordingly, conventional carousels are often expensive to manufacture to resist weathering. [0003] The main reason why it is difficult to make a storeable carousel is that it is difficult to make a carousel support frame that is not only easy to remove and store, but also strong enough to support a carousel. Additionally, the support frame must be large enough to provide stability for the carousel in use. [0004] Existing carousels include a ratchet mechanism so that when a child sits on the carousel, they can rotate the carousel by applying a force to the lever. This requires a large supp...
