Modular and reconfigurable playground support structure

摘要

A modular grid structure and method of construction for a playground, wherein the position of playground modules is easily established and rearranged within a array of securement locations and in relation to surrounding modules. The grid comprises a permanent or temporary foundation having a plurality of playground module support locations aligned in a grid or array, such that the playground may be constructed by placing the support posts of the module in connection with the foundation support locations. The disclosed support locations comprise embodiments that permanently secure the posts of a playground module using a pin-locking support hole, or alternatively a temporarily support means to movement for a shorter period while allowing swift setup and breakdown of the entire assembly, such as for temporary playgrounds.

主权项

1. A modular support system for structures, comprising:
a foundation having an upper surface and one or more perimeter walls extending downward from a perimeter edge of said upper surface and defining an interior volume, and a plurality of support locations aligned in a grid pattern, and extending downward from said upper surface; a plurality of playground modules, wherein each of said plurality of playground modules has a plurality of structural supports extending therefrom; wherein said plurality of support locations are adapted to engage with said plurality of structural supports; wherein said plurality of support locations are adapted to support said plurality of playground modules in a static position; said plurality of support locations being of uniform construction; wherein said plurality of playground modules are interchangeably positionable at any location on said grid pattern at which each of said plurality of structural supports of said plurality of playground modules engages with one of said plurality of support locations.
