Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a climbing wall comprising a flat board made of a rigid material, a compressible layer made of an elastic material and a plurality of knobs. The compressible layer is positioned between the knobs and the board. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a flexible and elastic layer on a rigid board, which enhances the safety and comfort of using the climbing wall.

Problems solved by technology

This causes users to scratch their knees and hands.
The climbing walls are also constructed of a hard surface increasing the potential for injury.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0016]The present invention includes a climbing wall panel with a foam rubber cloth cover. The climbing wall of the present invention includes a soft layer of durable foam rubber material over plywood, which reduces cuts, bumps, and bruises to the climber. Also, the soft surface allows the climbing holds to sink into the material holding them in place so they do not spin or loosen. Further, the board does not get damaged when you move the hand holds from one place to the next.

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1 through 8, the present invention includes a climbing wall 10. The climbing wall 10 includes a board 16 and a compressible layer ...

Abstract

A climbing wall is provided. The climbing wall includes a board and a compressible layer. The board is substantially flat and is formed of a rigid material, such as wood, metal, a hard plastic, or the like. The compressible layer is secured to cover a front surface of the board. The compressible layer includes an elasticity greater than the rigid material and compresses when pressure is applied. A plurality of knobs are secured to the board so that the compressible layer is disposed in between the knobs and the board.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 006,984, filed Jun. 3, 2014, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a climbing wall and, more particularly, to a climbing wall with a compressible layer.[0003]A climbing wall is an artificially constructed wall with grips for hands and feet, usually used for indoor climbing, but sometimes located outdoors. Some are brick or wooden constructions, but on most modern walls, the material most often used is a thick multiplex board with holes drilled into it. Climbing walls currently have a rough surface to prevent the climbing holds from spinning. This causes users to scratch their knees and hands. The climbing walls are also constructed of a hard surface increasing the potential for injury.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for an improved climbing wall designed to preve...
