Rotating water play device

摘要

A rotating water play device generally comprises a static shaft typically fixedly mounted to a ground surface and a platform mounted for rotation on the shaft. The platform allows at least one person to stand on it and impart a rotating motion thereto. The shaft is configured to be connected to a water source and comprises a hollow axial bore and at least one radial opening. The platform comprises a sleeve pivotally mounted to the shaft, the sleeve comprising at least one radial opening in fluid communication with at least one dispensing opening located on the platform, typically at the periphery thereof. The radial openings of the shaft and of the sleeve are configured to be in intermittent or continuous fluid communication, whereby water can flow through the shaft and then through the platform before exiting the platform.

1. A rotating water play device comprising:
a) a shaft structure configured to be connected to a water source, the shaft structure comprising a base and a shaft extending from the base, the base being configured to be mounted to a surface, the shaft comprising an internal bore and at least one first radial opening in fluid communication with the bore, the shaft structure defining a first fluid path between the water source and the at least one first radial opening; b) a platform assembly comprising a sleeve and a platform mounted to the sleeve, the platform being configured to support at least one user, the sleeve being mounted to the shaft for rotation, the sleeve comprising at least one second radial opening, the platform comprising at least one water dispensing opening in fluid communication with the at least one second radial opening, the sleeve and the platform defining a second fluid path between the at least one second radial opening and the at least one water dispensing opening; wherein the at least one first radial opening and the at least one second radial opening are configured to be at least temporarily in registry when the sleeve of the platform assembly rotates about the shaft.
