Play structure assembly

Abstract

The present invention relates to a play structure assembly comprising a flexible sheet having a plurality of loops attached thereto. The type and location of the loops are described, as well as their use in forming a play area having multiple shapes and sizes.

1 . A play structure assembly comprising
 a) a flexible sheet having two opposing surfaces and a plurality of edges and corners,   b) a corner loop attached to each corner,   c) a plurality of exterior loops attached to each edge, and   d) a plurality of interior loops attached to at least one surface.   
   
   
       2 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible sheet is rectangular or square. 
   
   
       3 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the two opposing surfaces are the same. 
   
   
       4 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the two opposing surfaces are different. 
   
   
       5 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1  comprising at least two exterior loops on each edge. 
   
   
       6 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior loops are equally spaced on the edge. 
   
   
       7 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1  comprising at least four interior loops attached to one surface. 
   
   
       8 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the interior loops are geometrically spaced in a configuration having edges parallel to the edges of the flexible sheet. 
   
   
       9 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1  further comprising at least one center loop centrally attached to at least one surface. 
   
   
       10 . The play structure assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the corner loops, the interior loops, or the exterior loops are variable dimension loops. 
   
   
       11 . The play structure of  claim 10 , wherein the interior loops and the center loop comprise two loop segments, each segment having one end fixedly attached to the flexible sheet and one end configured to connect to the other loop segment to form the interior loop or center loop. 
   
   
       12 . The play structure assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the loop segments are configured to tie together. 
   
   
       13 . The play structure assembly of  claim 11 , where the loop segments are configured to adhere to each other. 
   
   
       14 . The play structure of  claim 10 , wherein the interior loops and the center loop comprise one loop segment having one end fixedly attached to the flexible sheet and one end configured to connect to the other loop segment or to an attachment site on the flexible sheet to form the interior loop or center loop. 
   
   
       15 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior loops and the corner loops are variable dimension loops comprising two loop segments, each segment having one end fixedly attached to the flexible sheet and one end configured to connect to the other loop segment to form the exterior loop or corner loop. 
   
   
       16 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior loops and the corner loops are elastic. 
   
   
       17 . The play structure assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one et attached to at least one surface. 
   
   
       18 . A play structure assembly comprising
 a) a circular flexible sheet having two opposing surfaces and an edge,   b) a plurality of exterior loops attached to the edge, and   c) a plurality of interior loops attached to at least one surface.   
   
   
       19 . A play area comprising at least one play structure assembly of  claim 1 .
