Playground equipment

Abstract

Playground equipment may include a seesaw. The seesaw may include a first seat and a second seat facing the first seat. The playground equipment may include one or more additional seats that may face away from the first and second seats and which may be disposed at least proximate a pivot point of the seesaw. The playground equipment may be sized and configured to rock back and forth, for example, in a direction different from the direction that the seesaw moves.

1 . Playground equipment comprising:
 a first structure comprising:
 a fuselage; 
 a first wing; 
 a second wing; 
 a first seat disposed on the first wing; 
 a second seat disposed on the second wing, the second seat facing towards the first seat; and 
 at least one seat facing away from the first and second seats; and 
   a support frame pivotally connected to the first structure to provide the first and second seats with a seesaw motion about a pivot point, the at least one seat being disposed at least proximate the pivot point.   
     
     
         2 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first opening, the first opening formed in the first structure;   a second opening, the second opening formed in the support frame;   a first bushing at least partially disposed within the first and second openings; and   a first fastener at least partially disposed within the first bushing to pivotally interconnect the first structure and the support frame.   
     
     
         3 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the first structure includes a first elongated member; and wherein the support frame includes a second elongated member, the first and second elongated members being disposed in a nested configuration to pivotally interconnect the first structure and the support frame. 
     
     
         4 . The playground equipment of  claim 3 , further comprising at least one bushing at least partially disposed between the nested first and second elongated members. 
     
     
         5 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one seat faces in a generally perpendicular direction away from the first and second seats. 
     
     
         6 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one seat comprises third and fourth seats disposed side by side. 
     
     
         7 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one seat comprises a third seat and a fourth seat disposed behind the third seat. 
     
     
         8 . The playground equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one seat comprises third and fourth seats disposed side by side and a fifth seat disposed behind the third and fourth seats. 
     
     
         9 . Playground equipment comprising:
 a first structure comprising:
 a first seat; 
 a second seat facing towards the first seat; and 
 at least one seat facing away from the first and second seats; and 
   a support frame movably connected to the first structure to provide the first and second seats with a seesaw motion in a first direction, the support frame comprising a base sized and configured to permit the support frame to rock back and forth in a second direction different from the first direction.   
     
     
         10 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the second direction is generally perpendicular to the first direction. 
     
     
         11 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a first opening, the first opening formed in the first structure;   a second opening, the second opening formed in the support frame;   a first bushing at least partially disposed within the first and second openings; and   a first fastener at least partially disposed within the first bushing to pivotally interconnect the first structure and the support frame.   
     
     
         12 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the first structure includes a first elongated member; and wherein the support frame includes a second elongated member, the first and second elongated members being disposed in a nested configuration to pivotally interconnect the first structure and the support frame. 
     
     
         13 . The playground equipment of  claim 12 , further comprising at least one bushing at least partially disposed between the nested first and second elongated members. 
     
     
         14 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one seat faces in a generally perpendicular direction away from the first and second seats. 
     
     
         15 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one seat comprises third and fourth seats disposed side by side. 
     
     
         16 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one seat comprises a third seat and a fourth seat disposed behind the third seat. 
     
     
         17 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one seat comprises third and fourth seats disposed side by side and a fifth seat disposed behind the third and fourth seats. 
     
     
         18 . The playground equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the support frame is pivotally connected to the first structure to provide the first and second seats with a seesaw motion about a pivot point; and wherein the at least one seat is disposed at least proximate the pivot point.
