Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to improve production efficiency by adjusting the thickness of ribs and cells in a composite material. This helps to create a more homogeneous distribution of the material, allowing for easier circulation during production. The invention also involves arranging the ribs in an optimal size to achieve this.

Problems solved by technology

However, cylindrical wooden posts exceeding some lengths can not be obtained in single pieces.
Even if such posts are obtained, considerable costs are incurred.
The single-piece length problematic, however, is still an issue.
Even if the posts are made of impregnated wood, they start to decay upon contact with soil moisture.
Any decaying post which functions as a leg in a playground, in turn, poses a significant risk in terms of the safety of children who stay on the respective leg.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]In the following detailed description, preferred embodiments of a bearing member (40) for play structures according to the present invention will be described illustratively only to make clear the present invention without any limiting effect.

[0037]Bearing members (40) of play structure is defined as all metal posts (10) and horizontal bearing members (50) with angular or circular cross-section, positioned in an angular or vertical / horizontal manner.

[0038]Play structure bearing members (40) composed of metal posts (10) and / or horizontal bearing members (50) having angular or circular cross-section are characterized by comprising at least two siding / covering materials (20) covered over said metal post (10) and made of a material (composite material) such as wood, plastics or a derivative thereof, pressed wood and paper, pressed plastics etc.

Structural Basis

[0039]The metal post (10) making up the play structure bearing members (40) is rather produced from a rustproof galvanized ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to siding / covering materials (20) which are made of composite materials to be covered over metal posts (10) or horizontal bearing members (50) with angular or circular cross-section and which comprise reinforcing cells (25). Said composite material is composed of materials such as wood, plastics or a derivative thereof, pressed wood and paper, pressed plastics etc.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to bearing members, which are used in recreational and exercise equipment and play structures, such as those particularly found in public outdoor playgrounds and parks, over which the recreational and exercise equipment and play structures are positioned vertically, horizontally or angularly to the ground.[0002]The present invention more particularly relates to covering materials, which are structurally reinforced by means of cells, to be worn over said bearing members.PRIOR ART[0003]Nowadays, one of the places frequently visited by children are the playgrounds. Playgrounds are equipped with various play structures and park equipment. These are quite significant in terms of both amusing the children, and contributing to their physical development. This sort of equipment comprises posts, which are frequently contacted by children. For this reason, the posts are covered by metals or metal alloys, or by wood materials.[0004]Metals a...
