Slide play apparatus and blade

Abstract

To provide a slide play apparatus for sliding not only on the surface of snow but also on the surfaces of lawn and sand. The apparatus is constructed such that an impact from a sliding surface to a player can be cushioned and that sliding fun different from those obtained from conventional slide play apparatuses can be provided to the player. [Means for Solving the Problems] In the slide play apparatus 1, a body part 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a slide board 7 and an upper board 6 positioned over the slide board 7 are connected to each other by a nose plate 8 and a tail plate 9. Therefore, the nose plate 8 and the tail plate 9 function as cushions to cushion an impact applied to the feet of the player P. Since the impact applied to the feet of the player P is cushioned, the player can have sliding fun and feeling different from those of the conventional apparatuses.

1 . A slide play apparatus comprising:
 a slide board having a first edge at an outer end thereof and sliding on a slope;   an upper board positioned above the slide board;   a nose board connecting one end of the slide board to one end of the upper board; and   a tail board connecting the other end of the slide board to the other end of the upper board,   the slide play apparatus being formed of a substantial cylinder.   
   
   
       2 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer end has a first side curve. 
   
   
       3 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein a blade comprising: a protruding portion protruding more outward than the outer end of the slide board; a second side curve formed on the outer end of the protruding portion and having a curvature larger than that of the first side curve; and a second edge disposed on the outer end of the protruding portion, comes in contact with an upper surface of the slide board. 
   
   
       4 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the slide play apparatus further comprising two blades disposed crossly with respect a longitudinal axis of the slide board and having a substantially X shape as viewed from above, each blade having: a contact portion coming in contact with the upper surface of the slide board; curved portions disposed on a nose board side and on a tail board side; and a fixing portion fixed to a lower surface of the upper board. 
   
   
       5 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the slide play apparatus further comprising a support member each for reducing friction between the slide board and one of the two blades and between the two blades, the support member each being disposed at portions at which the slide board and the one blade, and the two blades are crossed. 
   
   
       6 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein an elastic body is interposed between the slide board and the upper board. 
   
   
       7 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein a width of the sliding surface is smaller than a width of the boarding surface. 
   
   
       8 . The slide play apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper board has a recessed portion which is depressed toward the slide board. 
   
   
       9 . A pair of blades disposed crossly with respect a longitudinal axis of a slide board between the slide board and an upper board disposed thereabove and having a substantially X shape as viewed from above, each blade comprising:
 a contact portion coming in contact with an upper surface of the slide board;   curved portions disposed on both ends of the contact portion; and   a fixing portion each fixed to both ends of the blade to a lower surface of the upper board,   each blade further comprising a protruding portion protruding more outward than the outer end of the slide board.
