Climbing Wall

View page
US Patent:
6419610, Jul 16, 2002
Filed:
Sep 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/663641
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Jonas - Janesville WI
Randall C. Grutza - Janesville WI
Matthew T. Bolland - Stoughton WI
Assignee:
PlayCore Wisconsin, Inc. - Chattanooga TN
International Classification:
A63B 1700
US Classification:
482 35, 482 37, 446110
Abstract:
A truncated triangular inclined climbing wall is attached to a wooden play structure, and is tilted at about a forty-eight degree angle against the play structure, and is fastened by a flange to an elevated deck which is accessible through a wood framed inlet. The climbing wall is staked to the ground, and narrows from a wide, ground-engaging, base, to a narrower summit, which is immediately adjacent the framed inlet. The climbing wall is formed with a number of rock-simulative ledges, which progress from the base to the summit. Each molded ledge preferably has a child-graspable hand grip integrally molded in the riser. The top surfaces of the step-like ledges define treads which are inclined from the horizontal to direct the childs foot inward toward the climbing wall rather than away from the wall and off the structure. To contribute to the rock-simulative visual effect of the thermoformed plastic assembly, polyethylene is extruded with a pattern of streaks or striations which, when molded, simulate the color variations of naturally occurring rock formations. The hypotenuse of the triangle provides both a climbing surface and a means for directing climbing children to the inlet.

US Patent:
61936332, Feb 27, 2001
Filed:
Jun 11, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/873166
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Jonas - Janesville WI
Randall C. Grutza - Janesville WI
Matthew T. Bolland - Stoughton WI
Assignee:
Swing-N-Slide Corp. - Janesville WI
International Classification:
N63B 2100
US Classification:
482 35
Abstract:
Three thermoformed polyethylene plastic segments are bolted together to form a truncated triangular inclined climbing wall for attachment to a wooden play structure. The climbing wall is tilted at about a forty-eight degree angle against the play structure, and is fastened by a flange to an elevated deck which is accessible through a wood framed inlet. The climbing wall is staked to the ground, and narrows from a wide, ground-engaging, base, to a narrower summit, which is immediately adjacent the framed inlet. The climbing wall is formed with a number of rock-simulative ledges, which progress from the base to the summit. Each molded ledge preferably has a child-graspable hand grip integrally molded in the riser. The top surfaces of the step-like ledges define treads which are inclined from the horizontal to direct the child's foot inward toward the climbing wall rather than away from the wall and off the structure. To contribute to the rock-simulative visual effect of the thermoformed plastic assembly, polyethylene is extruded with a pattern of streaks or striations which, when molded, simulate the color variations of naturally occurring rock formations.
