Abstract: A climbing panel includes a body that is curved about an axis at a non-constant radius of curvature. The body has first and second end portions and is configured for use such that one of the first and second end portions is supported by a support surface and the other of the first and second end portions is coupled to an elevated support structure. The body is reversible between a first orientation, where the first end is adjacent the support surface and the second end is coupled to the elevated support structure and extends to a first mounting height, and a second orientation, where the second end is adjacent the support surface and the first end is coupled to the elevated support structure and extends to a second mounting height that is different from the first mounting height.

Abstract: A swing ride includes a plastic seat portion, a first plastic hand rest and foot rest portion configured to be coupled to a first end of the seat portion, and a second plastic hand rest and foot rest portion configured to be coupled to a second end of the seat portion. The swing ride in a disassembled state is configured to be received in a container having a volume of less than 5,760 cubic inches.

Abstract: A helical tube slide that includes a plurality one-piece half-tube portions that are each substantially dimensionally the same. Two of the plurality of half-tube portions are coupled together to define a first curved tubular segment that defines a first portion of the tube slide. Another two of the plurality of half-tube portions are coupled together to define a second curved tubular segment that defines a second portion of the tube slide. The tube slide further includes a fastener that couples the first curved tubular segment and the second curved tubular segment.

Abstract: A viewing device includes a housing defining an interior chamber through which light can pass. The housing includes first and second spaced apart openings communicating with the interior chamber such that light entering the first opening is viewed by a user looking into the second opening. Indicia representing an eye is positioned adjacent at least one of the openings of the viewing device to help attract consumers to the product and to inform the consumers about the intended use of the product.

Abstract: A viewing device includes a housing defining an interior chamber through which light can pass. The housing includes first and second spaced apart openings communicating with the interior chamber such that light entering the first opening is viewed by a user looking into the second opening. The second opening is further configured to receive sound created by the user and the housing is configured to transmit the sound entering the second opening toward a sound exit location of the housing at or near the first opening. The second opening can define an eyepiece portion into which the user looks and a mouthpiece portion into which a user speaks. The viewing device can take the form of a periscope toy.

Abstract: A bracket configured to connect two frame members. The bracket comprises of a first side and a second side. The first side includes a first alignment member to align a first frame member with respect to the bracket and the second side includes a second alignment member to align a second frame member with respect to the bracket. The bracket is suited for use in assembling children's playstations.

Abstract: The present invention provides a playstation kit including a container defining an interior space. The interior space has a length dimension of no more than about 61 inches. The kit also includes a plurality of pre-cut boards positioned in the interior space of the container. Each of the boards has a length dimension of no more than the length dimension of the interior space. A method of selling a playstation kit also includes providing at least one container defining an interior space, providing a plurality of pre-cut boards in the interior space of the at least one container, and instructing the consumer to provide a plurality of boards not included in the at least one container.

Abstract: A drill template that is operable to locate a position for a hole in a member. The member has at least two distinct surfaces and the drill template includes a body having first and second oppositely-facing sides configured for locating a position for a hole to be drilled in the member. A first alignment member on the first side of the body is configured to align with both a first and a second distinct surface of the member to position the body relative to the member. A second alignment member on the second side of the body is configured to align with the first surface of the member but not with the second surface of the member to position the body relative to the member.

Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a swing to a support beam includes a first bracket member coupled to the support beam, a second bracket member coupled to the support beam opposite the first bracket member, a first swing hanger directly connected to the first bracket member for supporting a first elongated support member, and a second swing hanger directly connected to the second bracket member for supporting a second elongated support member.

Abstract: A pipe sleeve assembly includes a base plate and a sleeve portion. The base plate includes a base portion defining a longitudinal axis. The base plate further includes a first flange extending from the base portion in a first direction generally normal to the longitudinal axis and lying in a first plane. The base plate also includes a second flange extending from the base portion in the first direction, spaced from the first flange in a second direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, and lying in a second plane spaced from the first plane. The sleeve portion includes a body portion and a third flange extending from the body portion in the first direction. A fastener stud extends from the second flange and is received in an aperture in the third flange to secure the sleeve portion to the base plate.
