Description

Play and adventure equipment consisting of basic elements that can be combined in a modular manner to form one-, two- and three-dimensional structures.

In particular, the description relates to play and adventure equipment that is designed for people with disabilities, especially wheelchair users. Such play and adventure equipment enables so-called barrier-free access, which means that this play and adventure equipment is accessible to all people, regardless of physical limitations or disabilities.

Play and adventure equipment offers children in particular a wide range of opportunities to move and be active. This satisfies and encourages children's need for movement. Children develop their motor skills and can have fun at the same time. Skills such as balance and coordination are also encouraged.

Well-known play and adventure equipment includes swings, climbing frames and slides, which are often found in playgrounds.

It is well known that these play and adventure devices are designed and manufactured to suit the location where they are to be set up. For example, play and adventure devices of different sizes are planned and manufactured. Standardization of such play and adventure devices is only partially possible. Well-known play and adventure devices often have ready-made components that are firmly connected to one another, which makes adaptations to changing installation conditions difficult.

A further disadvantage is often that adaptation of such play and adventure equipment, for example to make it accessible for people with disabilities, is only possible with increased effort or is not possible at all.

Therefore, there is a need for an improved play and adventure device.

The object of the invention is to provide a play and adventure device which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and which allows a high degree of flexibility in adapting the play and adventure device to different requirements.

The task also consists in providing a modular system by means of which play and adventure equipment can be assembled from basic elements in a diverse, barrier-free, quick, inexpensive and sustainable manner.

In addition, the play and adventure equipment should be able to be assembled on site and combined with commercially available products such as climbing nets, basketball hoops and other elements.

The problem is solved by an object having the features according to claim 1. Further developments are specified in the dependent claims.

The invention relates to a play and adventure device which consists of basic elements which can be connected in a modular manner to form one-, two- and three-dimensional structures. Such a construction of the play and adventure device from basic elements makes it possible to assemble and build a large number of possible play and adventure devices from a limited number of basic elements.

The use of a limited number of uniform basic elements simplifies production, increases manufacturing efficiency and leads to lower costs in the production of play and adventure equipment.

It is provided that at least one longitudinal element is arranged in the play and adventure device connected to a connecting element or a node element at at least one first end, wherein the longitudinal element has a thread or a clamping means for connection at its first end, wherein the thread or the clamping means can be connected to a corresponding thread or clamping means arranged on the connecting element or node element, wherein the connecting element or the node element is arranged connected to at least one further basic element in the play and adventure device

The basic elements of the play and adventure device include a so-called longitudinal element, which is also referred to as a spacer element. The longitudinal element, which has two opposite ends, is arranged in the play and adventure device connected at least at a first end to a connecting element or a node element. A connecting element or a node element, which represent further basic elements of the play and adventure device, can also be arranged at the second end of the longitudinal element.

To connect the longitudinal element to a connecting element or a node element, it is intended that a thread or a Clamping means is arranged. The longitudinal element is connected or screwed or clamped to the associated connecting element or node element by means of the thread or by means of the clamping means. For this purpose, a thread or clamping means corresponding to the thread or clamping means of the longitudinal element is provided on the connecting element or node element. In one example, this is an external thread on the longitudinal element and an internal thread on the node element or vice versa.

In another example, the connecting element has a two-part external thread, the first part of this external thread being arranged in an internal thread of the longitudinal element for connecting these two basic elements. The second part of the external thread of the connecting element is arranged, for example, in a subsequent node element which has a corresponding internal thread for this connection. In this way, the longitudinal element is arranged on a first side of the connecting element and the node element is arranged on the second side of the connecting element.

In particular, it is intended that the longitudinal element is a tube.

The longitudinal element or spacer element, which is arranged, for example, between two node elements in the play and adventure equipment, is made as a tube or tube element. At the ends of this tube, appropriate threads or clamping devices are arranged for connection, for example, to node elements. Such longitudinal elements or spacer elements have lengths in the range of at least 0.12 m and a maximum of 3.0 m.

The longitudinal element can have an internal thread, an external thread or a first part of a clamping means at its ends, depending on requirements. The ends of the longitudinal element can be designed the same or differently. For example, the first end of the longitudinal element can have an external thread and the second end of the longitudinal element can have an internal thread.

If the longitudinal element has a first part of a clamping means at one end, a second part of the clamping means corresponding to the first part of a clamping means is arranged on the base element to be connected to this end of the connecting element. In one example, the first part of a clamping means is a circumferential groove, while the second part of the clamping means is a screw.

It has proven to be particularly advantageous that the connecting element is a connector or an angle connector or a connecting foot.

The connecting element according to the invention has different embodiments.

In a first embodiment, the connecting element is a connector which is essentially cylindrical and has a part of a clamping means at a first end and which has an internal thread at an opposite second end. The part of the clamping means is designed as a circumferential groove machined into a cylinder. With this part of the clamping means, the connector is arranged with a corresponding part of another clamping means, which can be a screw arranged in a wall of a longitudinal element.

In a second embodiment, the connecting element is an angle connector which has at least two receptacles. The receptacles are aligned along differently aligned spatial axes, wherein the axes and thus the receptacles are aligned to one another, for example, at an angle of 30 degrees, 45 degrees or 67.5 degrees.

Using these angle connectors, which are arranged in so-called nodes or connection points in the play and adventure equipment, two longitudinal elements can be arranged at an angle of 30 degrees, 45 degrees or 67.5 degrees to each other in the play and adventure equipment. This enables a wide range of possible combinations of the arrangement of basic elements in the play and adventure equipment.

In a third embodiment, the connecting element is a connecting foot which is essentially cylindrical and has at a first end a part of a clamping means which is firmly connected or connectable to a foot or a foot plate of the play and adventure device and which has at an opposite second end an internal thread for connection to further basic elements.

It is further provided that the node element is a cube, a sphere or a polyhedron and that the node element has several receptacles with internal threads, aligned in different spatial axes, which run through a common center point in the node element.

It is intended that the node element is a cube and has receptacles on several of its surfaces. The receptacles are arranged centrally on the surfaces of the cube. These receptacles are provided with an internal thread and thus enable connections to be made to other basic elements, in particular longitudinal elements which have an external thread or to connecting elements or to node elements or to other basic elements.

The multiple receptacles are arranged in the node element aligned in different spatial axes, with the axes running through a common center point in the node element. For example, a node element such as a cube has three such axes and a maximum of six receptacles with internal threads. Two of the axes running through the common center point in the node element intersect at an angle of 90 degrees.

Advantageously, such node elements are arranged at corner points or branching points in the play and adventure device, since the node elements enable connections to several basic elements, which can be arranged in different directions to the node element.

The node element can be designed as a polyhedron. The receptacles with the internal threads are arranged on the flat surfaces of the polyhedron, which are referred to as polygons. The receptacles are arranged centered on the surfaces of the polyhedron. In this design, too, it is provided that the multiple receptacles in the node element are arranged aligned in different spatial axes, with the axes running through a common center point in the node element.

The use of the form of a bounded or regular polyhedron is particularly suitable. Regular polyhedra are polyhedrons that are made up of regular polygons. A polyhedron is bounded if there is a sphere in which the polyhedron is completely contained.

The node element can also be designed in the form of a sphere, which also has several receptacles with internal threads. In this design, too, the multiple receptacles in the node element are arranged aligned in different spatial axes, with the axes running through a common center point in the node element. However, in the design of the node element as a sphere, it is also intended that the axes running through the common center point in the node element can also intersect at an angle other than 90 degrees. Thus, when used as a node element in corner points or branching points, the sphere offers further possibilities for connecting to other basic elements. For example, at an angle of 45 degrees between two axes intersecting at the common center point in the node element, diagonal struts can be arranged in the play and adventure device to improve the stability of the play and adventure device.

An embodiment of the node element in the form of a sphere having at least one surface is also provided. In one example, a spherical node element has two parallel, opposite surfaces, each surface having a receptacle with an internal thread.

Usually the thread is intended to be an internal thread or an external thread.

For example, in the node elements, the thread in the receptacles is designed as an internal thread. In the longitudinal elements and in the connecting elements, the thread can be designed as an external thread or as an internal thread. The type of thread depends on the requirements when connecting two adjacent basic elements.

In particular, it is provided that the clamping means is designed in two parts, wherein a first part of the clamping means is a screw or a cylinder head screw arranged on a first base element and wherein the second part of the clamping means is designed as a groove on a second base element, wherein the screw or the cylinder head screw is arranged in the groove for connecting the two base elements by means of the clamping means.

In one example, the first part of the clamping means is a screw, while the second part of the clamping means is a circumferential groove. For example, a first part of a clamping means is arranged as a screw at one end of a longitudinal element, while a connecting element to be connected to the longitudinal element has the second part of the clamping means in the form of a groove. Here, the screw is arranged in an internal thread of a wall of the longitudinal element and the circumferential groove is arranged in a cylinder arranged on the connecting element.

A firm, detachable connection of the basic elements longitudinal element and connecting element is created by both basic elements are joined together and that the screw of the longitudinal element is positioned in the groove of the connecting element by screwing it in.

The screw can be either a screw with a head or a screw without a head in the form of a threaded rod.

In addition, it is envisaged that other basic elements are a base plate, a planking, a roof, a closing element such as a ball, a support, a bearing element with ball bearing, a bearing block, a bearing shaft, a pipe clamp or a double pipe clamp.

The basic elements, which can be connected in a modular manner to form one-, two- and three-dimensional structures, also include a base plate, and in addition to the primary connecting element, a cube, an end element such as a ball, a support, a bearing element with ball bearings, a bearing block, a bearing shaft, a pipe clamp or a double pipe clamp. A roof for at least part of the play and adventure equipment is also provided. These basic elements make it possible to put together a wide variety of play and adventure equipment. Some of these basic elements, such as a bearing element with ball bearings, a bearing block, a bearing shaft, a pipe clamp or a double pipe clamp, are intended for moving parts on the play and adventure equipment and enable interesting designs that can train the motor skills of the users.

In one design, the basic elements are made of stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum or cast aluminum.

In order to make the play and adventure equipment robust and durable when used outdoors, the basic elements are to be made from a material such as stainless steel. Alternatively, individual basic elements or all basic elements of the play and adventure equipment can be made from galvanized powder-coated steel, aluminum or cast aluminum.

It has proven to be advantageous that the surfaces of the basic elements are anodized aluminum.

In order to improve the functionality and appearance of the basic elements of the play and adventure equipment, it is planned to make the surfaces of the basic elements made of anodized aluminum.

The advantages of this design include improved corrosion protection and an improvement in the surface hardness of the basic elements. In addition, the anodizing makes the basic elements look more attractive.

It is particularly advantageous that two adjacent spatial axes of a node element are arranged at an angle of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 67.5 degrees or 90 degrees to each other in the node element.

By aligning two adjacent spatial axes in the node elements cube, sphere or polyhedron at different angles, a variety of arrangement options for two adjacent basic elements are possible. In this way, sophisticated designs of play and adventure equipment can be realized.

Furthermore, it is provided that the play and adventure device comprises triangles formed from basic elements, which have three longitudinal elements connected by connecting elements and/or node elements, and/or squares formed from basic elements, which have four longitudinal elements connected by connecting elements and/or node elements.

In one version, triangles formed from basic elements are arranged in the play and adventure device.

These triangles, which are formed from basic elements, have a longitudinal element on each side of the triangle and a nodal element such as a sphere or a polyhedron at each corner of the triangle. The triangle can be a right-angled or an equilateral triangle, for example.

In another version, squares made up of basic elements are arranged in the play and adventure device. These squares can be arranged in the play and adventure device without or together with the triangles described above.

These quadrilaterals, which are formed from basic elements, have a longitudinal element on each side of the quadrilateral and a node element such as a cube, a sphere or a polyhedron at each corner of the quadrilateral. The quadrilateral can be a square or a rectangle, for example.

Such squares formed from basic elements can be put together to form a wall bars or a climbing wall or a climbing tower, for example. In particular, in the version for a climbing tower, the squares formed from basic elements are put together in such a way that several of these squares are connected to one another, for example, to form edges of a cube. Cubes designed in this way, stacked on top of each other, form the climbing tower, for example.

In the versions as wall bars, climbing wall or climbing tower, the distance between the horizontal rungs can be varied by the lengths of the longitudinal elements inserted vertically in the square. The distance between two horizontal rungs, for example, is in a range of 100 mm to 500 mm, in particular 300 mm.

In a further embodiment, it is provided that planking is arranged in the play and adventure equipment, by means of which walkable areas and paths and in particular drivable paths are formed.

To further design the play and adventure equipment, for example, horizontal planking is arranged on one level in the play and adventure equipment. This can provide a walkable path in the play and adventure equipment. Alternatively, a floor or intermediate floor can be formed in the play and adventure equipment, for example in a climbing tower. Such planking can also be arranged vertically in the play and adventure equipment and used as a railing or fall protection in the play and adventure equipment.

In addition, the play and adventure equipment is intended to be a fitness device with a horizontal bar, a fitness device with a hand crank, a ride-on seesaw, a fitness device with gymnastic rings, a pavilion with and without a bench, a covered sandpit, a pergola, a climbing wall or a climbing tower with several floors. A climbing wall can be equipped with fixed rungs or with a standard climbing net.

Various play and adventure equipment can be created using the basic elements. Examples of such play and adventure equipment include a fitness device with a horizontal bar, a fitness device with a hand crank or a fitness device with gymnastic rings.

However, by means of the basic elements according to the invention, more complex, sophisticated play and adventure equipment can also be realized, such as a ride-on seesaw, a pavilion with and without a bench, a covered sandpit, a pergola, a climbing wall or a climbing tower with several floors.

The possibility of using the basic elements makes the design of such play and adventure equipment very flexible, and it is easy to adapt it to local conditions, wishes or specifications regarding the type, dimensions and level of difficulty of the play and adventure equipment.

In particular, it is intended that the play and adventure equipment for people with disabilities, in particular wheelchair users, is designed to be barrier-free and is a number wheel, a wheelchair swing, a softball throwing device, a wheelchair suspension bridge, a wheelchair basketball device, a wheelchair sandpit, a wheelchair themed table or a wheelchair parkour.

According to the invention, various designs of play and adventure equipment are designed to be barrier-free and can therefore be used in particular by wheelchair users. These barrier-free play and adventure equipment can also be used by people without disabilities or together with wheelchair users, for example. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for designing playgrounds or adventure parks.

In order to make such play and adventure equipment barrier-free, for example for use with a wheelchair, height differences that need to be overcome, such as steps and inclines or declines in accessible areas of the play and adventure equipment, are designed accordingly. For example, inclines or declines are designed with a maximum value of 6%, i.e. at an angle of a maximum of 10.5 degrees, and can therefore also be used by wheelchair users without any problems. In addition, walkable paths or areas are designed to be wheelchair-accessible in terms of their width, which means that paths, for example, have a minimum width of 900 mm, preferably 1100 mm.

In general, the play and adventure equipment complies with DIN 18040 for barrier-free construction with the aim of making structural facilities such as play and adventure equipment accessible and usable for people with disabilities in the usual way, without particular difficulty and basically without outside help.

Even in these designs of barrier-free play and adventure equipment, it is intended to arrange safety systems such as fall protection on moving or rotating parts of the play and adventure equipment in order to enable people with disabilities in particular to operate and use the play and adventure equipment independently and safely.

For example, a design of a game and adventure device as a number wheel has a vertically arranged stand element which has a base plate, several longitudinal elements connected with node elements and/or double pipe clamps and an upper end element. The number wheel is rotatable and arranged at an angle on this upper end element, which has a height of between 1200 mm and 1500 mm. In this arrangement and height, the number wheel is particularly suitable for use by wheelchair users. The number wheel is attached to the upper end element at an angle of around 45 degrees and can be rotated. The number wheel has several handle elements distributed over the outer circumference so that a wheelchair user, for example, can set the number wheel in a rotating movement regardless of the current position of the number wheel. A pointer is usually arranged which points to a certain sector of the number wheel when the number wheel is at a standstill. A number wheel of this type has a diameter of, for example, 800 mm to 1200 mm, preferably 1000 mm, and can be divided into 24 sectors, for example.

When designing a play and adventure device as a wheelchair swing, it is taken into account that the horizontal, drivable floor of the movable part of the wheelchair swing is, for example, square and has a width and length in a range between 1100 mm and 1400 mm. In addition, the drivable floor of the movable part of the wheelchair swing is arranged at a distance of only 60 mm to 120 mm above a floor surface such as the ground. This distance can easily be overcome by a wheelchair user when driving on the horizontal, drivable floor. The drivable floor is optionally surrounded on three sides by an edge, which prevents the wheelchair from accidentally leaving the floor. Furthermore, handle elements can be provided which give the wheelchair user support and support when driving on or leaving the drivable floor. Such handle elements also offer the wheelchair user safety when actively using the wheelchair swing.

In a game and adventure device such as a softball throwing device, the softball is attached, for example, to a boom attached to the top of the softball throwing device using a string or a similar construction. Hanging in this way, the softball can easily be picked up by the wheelchair user and thrown at a target on the softball throwing device. After this throw, the softball returns to its starting position and does not have to be laboriously searched for, found and transported back to the softball throwing device. The height of the target can be adjusted and this height-flexible positioning means it can be used by any person with or without disabilities. Alternatively, the softball throwing device has two opposing targets with associated hanging softballs, with the targets arranged at different heights.

In a game and adventure device such as a wheelchair user motif table, the surface of the wheelchair user motif table is arranged at a height of between 600 mm and 750 mm and is thus particularly accessible to wheelchair users. The wheelchair user motif table can be designed with a wide variety of motif variants depending on requirements. In one example, the wheelchair user motif table has a circular plate with a diameter in a range of between 800 mm and 1000 mm. The wheelchair user motif table has a pointer element that can rotate above the circular plate and can contain interchangeable motif or image elements that are arranged in several sectors of the circular plate. By means of a handle arranged on the outside of the pointer element, the pointer element is set in a rotating movement above the circular plate, comparable to a hand on a clock. If the pointer element comes to a standstill above a certain motif or image element, actions dependent on the displayed motif or image element are carried out, for example.

The 1 shows a longitudinal element 1 in a connection with a node element 2, which is arranged in a play and adventure device 3 according to the invention.

In the example of 1 the longitudinal element 1 has external threads at its first end 4 and at its second end 5. The longitudinal element 1 is arranged with its external thread on the first end 4 in a receptacle 6 with a corresponding internal thread, which is formed in the node element 2. In this node element 2, several receptacles 6 are formed, each with an internal thread, wherein the receptacles 6 are arranged in the node element 2 aligned in the direction of different spatial axes 7, 8, 9. The spatial axes 7, 8, 9 have a common center point 22 in the node element 2, through which they run. In the 1 The first spatial axis 7 runs horizontally and the second spatial axis 8 runs vertically. The third spatial axis 9 runs in the 1 into or out of the representation.

The 2 shows a longitudinal element 1 in a connection with a connecting element 10.

In the example of 2 the connecting element 10 has a two-part external thread, wherein the first part 11 of this external thread is arranged in an internal thread of the longitudinal element 1 for connecting these two basic elements 1, 10. This internal thread is arranged in the longitudinal element 1 at the first end 4.

The second part 12 of the external thread of the connecting element 10 is arranged, for example, in a subsequent node element 2, which has a receptacle 6 with a corresponding internal thread for this connection. In this way, the longitudinal element 1 is arranged on a first side of the connecting element 10 and the node element 2 is arranged on the second side of the connecting element 10.

At the second end 5 of the longitudinal element 1 in the example the 2 an external thread is arranged, with which the connecting element 10 is connected to other basic elements in the play and adventure device 3.

The 2 The node element 2 shown has receptacles 6, for example, only in the direction of the first spatial axis 7 and in the direction of the third spatial axis 9.

The 3 shows a longitudinal element 1 with a first part of a clamping means arranged at its first end 4 for connection to a connecting element 10.

The first part of the clamping means for connecting the longitudinal element 1 to a connecting element 10 consists of an internal thread arranged in a wall of the tube of the longitudinal element 1 and an associated screw 13.

The second part of the clamping means is designed in the form of a circumferential groove 14, which is arranged on a cylinder 15 arranged on the connecting element 10. This cylinder 15 is designed in such a way that the cylinder 15 can be arranged with its outer diameter in the inner diameter of the longitudinal element 1 without any significant play.

The first part of the clamping means and the second part of the clamping means are designed to correspond to one another, which means that when the cylinder 15 of the connecting element 10 is correctly arranged in the longitudinal element 1, the screw 13 is arranged screwed into the groove 14, whereby the longitudinal element 1 is firmly connected to the connecting element 10.

Such a firm, detachable connection of the basic elements, longitudinal element 1 and connecting element 10, is produced by joining both basic elements 1, 10 together and by arranging the screw 13 of the longitudinal element 1 by screwing it in the groove 14 of the connecting element 10. This state with the screw 13 screwed in is shown in the illustration of the 3 shown.

This is exemplified in the 3 The connecting element 10 shown has an external thread 11, with which the connecting element 10 is connected to other basic elements in the play and adventure device 3, which in the 3 is not shown. In one embodiment, this external thread 11 is designed as a part with the connecting element 10. In an alternative embodiment, the connecting element 10 can have an internal thread into which a threaded spindle is screwed. In this way, it is also possible for the connecting element 10 to be connected to other basic elements, which is shown in the 3 is not shown.

The 4 shows an exemplary quadrilateral 16 formed from basic elements.

In one version, the play and adventure device 3 is arranged with squares 16 formed from basic elements. In the 4 As an example, a quadrilateral 16 formed from basic elements is shown, which has longitudinal elements 1 on the sides of the quadrilateral 16 and a node element 2 like a cube on each of the corners of the quadrilateral 16. In the embodiment of the 4 the quadrilateral 16 is a square.

The node elements 2 arranged in the corners of the quadrilateral 16 are each connected to the longitudinal elements 1 by means of a connecting element 10. It can also be seen that the spatial axes 7, 8 of the receptacles 6 of the node elements 2 are aligned at an angle of 90 degrees to one another.

A special feature of the example of 4 consists in that two longitudinal elements 1, connected by node elements 2, are arranged in the upper horizontal side of the quadrilateral 16. By using pairs of different lengths of longitudinal elements 1 arranged parallel to one another, it is possible to vary the side lengths of the quadrilateral 16. A variation of the side lengths is also possible by arranging longitudinal elements 1 several times in succession on an axis, wherein the longitudinal elements 1 are arranged connected to one another by means of connecting elements 10 or node elements 2.

Such squares 16 formed from basic elements can be put together to form a wall bars or a climbing wall or a climbing tower, for example. In particular, in the version to form a climbing tower, the squares 16 formed from basic elements are put together in such a way that several of these squares 16, arranged horizontally and vertically and connected to one another, simulate the edges of a cube, for example. Cubes formed in this way, when stacked on top of one another, form the climbing tower, for example.

The 5 shows a combination of several squares 16 in the play and adventure device 3.

Typically, a number of squares 16 are arranged in the play and adventure device 3, for example horizontally or vertically or horizontally and vertically aligned.

The 5 shows an example of an extract from a game and adventure device 3 in which four such squares 16 are arranged. Here, some longitudinal elements 1 simultaneously form sides of adjacent squares 16. Otherwise, the squares 16 in 5 which is already 4 described basic elements and properties.

The 6 and 7 each show a play and adventure device 3 in a design as a climbing tower.

The climbing tower in the 6 is designed with two levels and a roof, with the climbing tower in the 7 has more levels and additional vertical bracing in the upper area of the climbing tower.

Examples include the 6 and 7 Basic elements are shown, from which the play and adventure device 3 is composed. These basic elements are longitudinal elements 1, connecting elements, node elements 2 and a foot or a foot plate 17. In addition, the play and adventure device 3 has 6 and 7 a climbing rope 18 on.

The 8 shows a play and adventure device 3 in a design as a wheelchair parkour suitable for disabled people. The 8 shows a side view of the wheelchair parkour in the lower part and an excerpt of a top view of the middle part of the wheelchair parkour in the upper part of the 8 .

Basic elements such as longitudinal elements 1, connecting elements 10, node elements 2 and foot plates 17 can also be seen in this version of the play and adventure device 3. In addition, the play and adventure device 3 has 8 Planking 19. By placing planking 19 on the basic elements such as the longitudinal elements 1, walkable and drivable surfaces and paths are created, in particular a path over the play and adventure equipment 3 that can be used by a wheelchair.

In order to make the play and adventure device 3 suitable for use with a wheelchair, the inclines and declines in different zones of the planked path above the play and adventure device 3 are selected accordingly. For example, inclines and declines are designed with a value of 6%. This means that there is an angle of 10.5 degrees between a horizontal and an ascending or sloping planking 19.

For this purpose, the node elements 2 arranged at the nodes of the ascents or descents are designed accordingly. Thus, recordings aligned to spatial axes on the node element 2 are arranged in such a way that two spatial axes intersect at an angle of 10.4 degrees.

The user can drive straight across the planked path over play and adventure equipment 3 with the wheelchair. Alternatively, the 8 The play and adventure device 3 shown has two planked, drivable paths crossing in the middle in the highest part of the play and adventure device 3, which in the 8 is partially represented.

A special feature of this play and adventure device 3 is that a turntable 20 is arranged at the intersection point of the two paths. Using this turntable 20, the direction of a wheelchair located on the turntable 20 can easily be changed by the wheelchair user himself, for example by 90 degrees. In this way, paths arranged at an angle of 90 degrees can be easily navigated in a wheelchair-friendly manner.

The turntable 20 in the 8 has, for example, a diameter of 1200 mm.

The play and adventure device 3 has a railing 21 that secures the planked, drivable paths. This railing 21 can also be constructed from the basic elements longitudinal element 1, node element 2 and connecting element 10.

For a better understanding, the 10 a small detailed representation in which the basketball hoop 31 with the opening 32 is shown in a view from above. The opening 32 enables the basketball 29 attached to the rope 23 to return to the rest position, even in the event that the basketball 29 has been successfully thrown into the basketball hoop 31.

The 11 shows a play and adventure device 3 in a design as a wheelchair sandpit.

The wheelchair sandpit has a sand container 33 that is open at the top and filled with sand. This sand container 33 has a rectangular design with dimensions in its width and length in a range between 800 mm and 1500 mm. Alternatively, the sand container 33 is circular and has a diameter in the range between 800 mm and 1500 mm.

An example is the sand container 33 in the 11 equipped with a surrounding edge protection 34. In order to make the wheelchair sandpit usable for wheelchair users, the wheelchair sandpit has a base frame 35, which makes it possible for the sand container 33 to be arranged at a height that is very easy for wheelchair users to reach. For example, this base frame 35 has a height in a range between 600 mm and 800 mm, preferably 700 mm.

In a design in which the sand container 33 has a height of between 120 mm and 150 mm, the upper edge of the wheelchair sandbox is in the range between 820 mm and 850 mm with a preferred height of the base frame 35 of 700 mm. Such an upper edge of the wheelchair sandbox is very easy for wheelchair users to reach, which enables the use of the sand in the sand container 33 without barriers.

The base frame 35 is designed with the usual basic elements: longitudinal elements 1, connecting elements 10, node elements 2 and foot plates 17. A roof for the wheelchair sandpit is optionally provided, which is 11 is not shown. Optionally, a lid for the sand container 33 can also be provided, which closes the sand container 33 at least during periods in which the wheelchair user sandbox is not in use. Such a lid is in the 11 also not shown.
