  • Patent number: 5580315
    Abstract: A recreational appliance with springs (1) is provided with a locking element (2-9) which can be inserted in an anchoring element with a receiving flange (4), whereby a recreational appliance can be locked to the fundament in such a manner that it can be removed after it has been unlocked. The lock is preferably configured to have two lock plates (5) which engage bolt retaining edges (15) in the flange (4), which is provided with a recess (14) in which the locking element (2-9) is inserted. A recreational appliance can then function in the same way as an ordinary permanently ground anchored appliance, but the locking element makes it possible to remove the appliance after it has been unlocked, for area maintenance or repairs, or to avoid damage to the recreational appliance.
