INTEGRATED PLAY, EXERCISE, AND DANCE APPARATUS

Abstract

The present invention relates to an integrated play, exercise, and dance apparatus designed to accommodate users of varying ages and strengths. The apparatus comprises four basic subassemblies: a base assembly, a post assembly, a bearing assembly, and a top cap assembly. The base assembly includes a combination of a wooden base and a metal base plate, supported by ribs for added strength and stability. The post assembly, mounted on the base assembly, features two metal jackets, a solid wooden post, and a galvanized iron (GI) pipe casing. The bearing assembly, enclosed within the GI pipe casing, includes a bearing housing and a bearing shaft, allowing for smooth rotational movement. Two smaller helical GI pipes are welded to the outside of the GI pipe casing, serving as channels for ropes that are fastened to prevent movement. Wooden balls are bolted to the ends of the ropes, acting as pommels to enhance grip and safety. The top cap assembly comprises a cylindrical casing, which houses electronics and an LED strip light, and a hemispherical cap that can be fastened using rivets or bolts.

Specification

Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to an integrated play, exercise, and dance apparatus designed to promote physical fitness, cultural engagement, and inclusivity. This apparatus combines elements of traditional playground apparatus with features that support various forms of the Fugdi dance, making it suitable for users of all ages and strengths. The invention aims to provide a multifunctional and engaging platform that enhances the play experience while preserving cultural heritage.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Traditional integrated play, exercise, and dance apparatuses often lack the versatility and inclusivity required to engage users of varying ages and strengths. These conventional designs typically do not support multiple forms of traditional dances like Fugdi, limiting their cultural relevance and appeal. Additionally, existing apparatus often poses safety concerns, especially for younger children who may not have the strength or cognitive abilities to handle high-speed rotation , Claims:I/We claim:
1. An integrated play, exercise, and dance apparatus, comprising:
a) a base assembly;
b) a post assembly;
c) a bearing assembly;
d) at least one helical pipe assembly and
e) a top cap assembly;
wherein the base assembly comprises: a flat metal base plate, a galvanized iron (GI) pipe connected to the metal base plate, and a conical wooden base plate mounted on to the metal base plate;
wherein the base assembly further comprising ribs for structural support;
wherein the post assembly comprises: a solid wooden post mounted on to the galvanized iron (GI) pipe, and two metal jackets mounted on to the solid wooden post;
wherein the bearing assembly comprising a bearing housing for supporting rotational movement and a bearing shaft for transmitting torque, wherein the shaft is passed along the wooden post internally;
wherein the at least one helical pipe assembly is integrated with the bearing housing, comprising:
i. at least one helical pipe welded directly onto the bearing housing, ensuring a secure
