Challenge course
View Patent ↗A challenge course ( 10 ) comprising a frame ( 20 ) having a substantially horizontally oriented track ( 120 ), a vertically oriented column ( 60 ) fixed to and extending downwardly from said substantially horizontally oriented track beam ( 30 ), said vertically oriented column ( 60 ) terminating in a bottom portion that is fixed to a substantially oriented foundation ( 40 ). The track ( 120 ) has a channel ( 150 ) therein in which a moveable member ( 360 ) slides. The track ( 120 ) has interchanges whereby the moveable member ( 360 ) can be moved in one of different directions. Descending downwardly from said moveable member ( 360 ) is a safety cable ( 350 ). The safety cable ( 350 ) extending downwardly to a safety harness ( 600 ). A further embodiment includes the challenge course ( 10 ) that can be deployed and re-deployed by hauling with a motor-vehicle. Further, a participant can be secured to the track ( 120 ) while still on the ground before ascending to the activity height.
1. A challenge course ( 10 ) comprising:
a frame ( 20 ) having a track ( 120 );
said track ( 120 ) adapted to receive a moveable member ( 360 ) and said track ( 120 ) having an intersection ( 126 );
horizontally oriented platform ( 170 ) fixedly disposed to said frame ( 20 );
an obstacle ( 300 ) secured to said frame ( 20 ), said obstacle ( 300 ) separated by said platform ( 170 ); and
a safety cable ( 350 ) extending from said moveable member ( 360 ), whereby a person using the challenge course ( 10 ) can be connected to the safety cable ( 350 ).
2. The challenge course ( 10 ) of claim 1 , further comprising:
a vertically oriented member ( 60 ) fixed to and extending downwardly from said substantially oriented track ( 120 ), said vertically oriented column ( 60 ) terminating in a bottom portion ( 61 ) that is fixed to a foundation ( 40 ).
3. The challenge course ( 10 ) of claim 1 , further comprising:
said track ( 120 ) having a channel ( 150 ) adapted to slideably receive said moveable member ( 360 ).
4. The challenge course ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein said challenge course ( 10 ) is able to ascend and descend via a biasing unit ( 400 ).
5. The challenge course ( 10 ) of claim 4 , wherein said biasing unit ( 400 ) is a scissors lift.
6. The challenge course ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein said frame comprises at least two substantially parallel tracks ( 120 ).
