Abstract

A braided bridge includes a mounting cable. The braided bridge further includes a first component configured to couple to the mounting cable, where the first spoke component includes one or more spokes and a second spoke component configured to couple to the mounting cable. The one or more spokes of the first spoke component are configured to fold and couple the second spoke component to the first spoke component.

Claims (25)

1. A braided bridge comprising:

a mounting cable;

a first spoke component mounted to the mounting cable, the first spoke component comprising one or more spokes;

a second spoke component mounted to the mounting cable; and

wherein the one or more spokes of the first component fold and couple the second spoke component to the first spoke component.

2. The braided bridge of claim 1 , wherein the first spoke component and the second spoke component each comprise a center mounting aperture.

3. The braided bridge of claim 2 , wherein the braided bridge rotates around the mounting cable.

4. The braided bridge of claim 1 , wherein the mounting cable comprises a flexible material.

5. The braided bridge of claim 1 , wherein the braided bridge is mounted to a play structure.

6. The braided bridge of claim 1 , wherein the first spoke component and the second spoke component each comprise five spokes.

7. The braided bridge of claim 6 , wherein each spoke comprises a peripheral aperture configured to receive the mounting cable.

8. The braided bridge of claim 1 , and further comprising a second mounting cable.

9. The braided bridge of claim 8 , wherein the first spoke component and the second spoke component each comprise two center mounting apertures.

10. A method of assembling a braided bridge, the method comprising:

aligning a first spoke component and a second spoke component wherein the first spoke component and the second spoke component comprise one or more spokes;

folding the first spoke component; and

inserting a mounting cable through a center mounting aperture of the first spoke component and the second spoke component.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first spoke component and the second spoke component comprise one or more center mounting apertures.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein aligning the first spoke component and the second spoke component comprises placing the second spoke component on top of the first spoke component such that the spokes of the first spoke component and the second spoke component do not overlap.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the spokes comprise a peripheral aperture.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein folding comprises folding the spokes of the first spoke component such that the peripheral apertures of each spoke align with the center mounting aperture of the first spoke component and the second spoke component.

15. The method of claim 10 , and further comprising:

aligning a next spoke component on top of the last folded spoke component such that the center mounting aperture of the next spoke component aligns with the center mounting aperture of the last folded spoke component and the last added spoke component.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the next spoke component is aligned such that spokes of the next spoke component do not overlap with the spokes of the last added spoke component.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the next spoke component comprises one or more center mounting apertures.
