Description

slide

The invention relates to a slide comprising a

Sliding element which has a sliding surface. The invention further relates to a sliding element for use in such a chute.

Slides, especially for children, are known in a variety of different designs and have an inclined plane, namely a sliding surface, which consists of a relatively smooth material with a low

Coefficient of friction exists. On this slide surface, children can easily move downwards due to gravity without any effort. In addition to slides, which serve children for pleasure, also emergency slides or slides are known for locomotion. The present invention is concerned with children's slides.

In addition to permanently mounted playground slides smaller, mobile slides are known, which are particularly suitable for sliding in private gardens or indoors and are not firmly connected to a substrate, but can be transported to the desired location as needed. An attachment to the floor or a wall is not provided in most cases.

Slides of this type are usually made of plastic or wood and are either formed in one piece or have a conductor element and a sliding element, which can be interconnected.

A disadvantage of these known slides is the relatively large space requirement. Especially with one-piece slides, which can not be disassembled, relatively much space is required for the storage of the chute when it is not used. The size of these slides also makes handling difficult. Due to the special design of the slides, these are also relatively expensive to produce and therefore expensive. This is even more relevant because children's slides are usually only in use for a few years and then have to be disposed of or resold.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a chute that requires little space in the unused state, easy to handle, flexible and easy and inexpensive to produce.

To solve this problem, the invention provides a slide, comprising a sliding element which has a sliding surface, and a stepladder, in particular a

A ladder comprising a ladder part and a support part, which are pivotally connected to each other, wherein the sliding element has at least one holding element, which can be releasably connected to a transverse strut of the support member. According to the invention, the chute consists of two parts, which are provided as separate components available and only in case of need with the help of

Retaining element and the cross brace can be connected to each other: a stepladder and a sliding element. Under a stepladder here every ladder is understood that can stand without additional support, for example. By a wall. The stepladder is in particular a

conventional step ladder (household ladder), the

is available inexpensively and already exists in most households anyway. The ladder part points

at least one rung up, leading up to the ladder can be used and the support member has at least one cross member to the stability of the ladder

guarantee. The cross strut preferably connects two spars of the support member to each other. The support member may either be provided only to support the ladder part or alternatively have sprouts themselves. However, it is preferably a one-sided only

Mountable step ladder, in particular a stepladder according to the standard EN 131. By using such a step ladder for the slide is a ladder

which can also be used for other household purposes, so that no additional storage space and usually no additional purchase for the

Ladder element of the chute is needed. By the

Pivoting the conductor part and the support member relative to each other, the conductor space-saving

be merged. The sliding element is with the

Stepladder connectable and can be stowed separately in the unused state, so that also for the sliding element little space is needed.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the uppermost step of the stepladder is designed as a pedestal stand, which is arranged supportable on the transverse strut of the support member. Here, a child can sit down first on the pedestal before it the slide element

slipping down, which can reduce the risk of the child slipping on the slide.

In this case, it is preferably provided that the sliding surface adjoins the stand pedestal substantially flush with the surface. In this way, in particular, it is avoided that a step is formed between the standing platform and the sliding surface becomes. The arrangement may preferably be formed in such a way that the sliding surface adjoins the stand pedestal substantially without gaps, so that a gap that is unpleasant and also dangerous for slipping children is avoided.

It is preferably provided that the sliding element has a substantially continuous plane sliding surface.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the at least one retaining element comprises a hook which can be suspended from the cross strut, wherein preferably a resiliently displaceable relative to the hook clip is provided to secure the hook on the cross strut. By providing one or more hooks as a holding element is an easy to connect and to be solved device

created that still holds securely. Is preferred

provided that the hook is closed on three sides and open on one side, wherein the hook in the state connected to the ladder in the sliding direction is open. This prevents the hook and thus the

Slipping element unintentionally releases from the ladder during use. In order to prevent the hook and thus the sliding element from inadvertently detaching from the ladder during use, there is a resiliently displaceable clip

provided, which closes the hook opening in the connected state and during the insertion or unhooking of the hook is deflected against the spring force so that the hook opening is released and the sliding element can be released from the ladder. The clip has in this case a relative to the sliding element fixed part and a relative to the sliding element displaceable part which closes the hook opening in the connected state. Preferably, the

Clasp using at least one screw on the holding element or attached to the sliding element. The hook can be angular, rounded or any other shape.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the transverse strut connects two spars of the support member with each other, that in each case a gap is provided between the resting on the cross strut standpole and the spars and that the sliding element carries two particular hook-like holding elements which engage in the respective gap. It is preferably provided that the hook has a width of about 0.5-2 cm, in order to be able to be connected to conventional ladders.

In order to adapt the sliding element to the width of different conductors, it is preferably provided that at least two retaining elements are provided and for changing the

Distance between the two holding elements at least one holding element, in particular both holding elements, relative to the sliding surface is adjustable or are. This makes it possible to use the sliding element with several different conductors. In particular, that can
