Abstract: A playground cone may be molded from vinyl or other plastic material, and includes a base portion and a frustoconical portion. The frustoconical portion extends upwardly from the base portion to a top of the frustoconical portion. The frustoconical portion may define a hollow, interior section. The frustoconical portion further includes a slot defined in a wall. The slot may be a vertical slot and/or one or more horizontal slots. The slot, being vertical and/or horizontal, may be adapted to secure a playground hoop or crossbar within the frustoconical portion of the playground cone.

Abstract: A toy-holding apparatus for securely holding at least two playground toys, such as hoops or wands, in a predetermined relationship to one another includes a first hoop grip adapted to releasably grip a first playground hoop and a second hoop grip adapted to releasably grip a second playground hoop. A connecting element is disposed between the first and second hoop grips. A friction-inducing insert is disposed on at least one of the hoop grips to minimize unintended movement between the hoop grips and the hoops.

Abstract: A hand-held walking stilt comprising a base that contacts a walking surface, where the base has a foot stand to support a user's foot a set distance above the walking surface, where the foot stand defines an opening for a pole. The base also has at least one base flange extending into the opening. There is also a pole adapted to extend through the opening in the foot stand, and to extend above the base away from the walking surface, with the pole having at least one pole flange that interconnects with the base flange to hold the base and the pole together.

Abstract: A scooter includes a platform and at least three casters. The platform has a horizontal top surface and at least one vertical side surface extending downwardly from the top surface. The casters extend downwardly to support the platform when the platform rolls. The scooter also comprises a horizontal flange and a vertical flange. The horizontal flange extends away from the vertical side surface. The vertical flange extends from the horizontal flange. The vertical side surface, the horizontal flange and the vertical flange define a groove adapted to receive a mating tongue on a second scooter. This provides an integral, low-profile tongue-and-groove type of connection between two or more scooters.

Abstract: A dome-shaped base for a game standard is adapted to support a variety of game standards. The base includes a body defining an elongated standard hole for receiving an elongated standard such as a pole or an elongated tube. The standard hole is oriented substantially in a vertical direction through the body. The body further defines a slot having a substantially horizontal bottom surface and spaced apart vertical surfaces extending away from the horizontal surface. The slot is adapted to support a hoop in a vertical orientation.
