A sand and water table that includes a sand basin and a water basin. One side of the sand basin includes rotation channels and a locking groove. One side of the water basin includes pivot rods and a locking bead. The pivot rods of the water basin rotate within the rotation channels of the sand basin while the water basin is rotated from a closed position, covering the sand basin, to an open position. As the water basin is rotated to the open position, the locking bead engages the locking groove. The locked bead and groove connection supports the sand basin and the water basin in the open position. When the water basin is rotated to cover the sand basin, the locking bead disengages from the locking groove. The water basin may be removed from the sand basin or may be rotated to cover the sand basin.

Covered sandbox with a disengaging hinge

An amusement apparatus that includes a base, an arm, a seat biasing device and a arm biasing device. The base is configured for placement on to a generally horizontal surface. The arm has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of the arm is rotatably and pivotally coupled to the base. The distal end of the arm includes a seat. The seat biasing device is coupled to the seat and configured to repeatedly and resiliently contact the surface. The arm biasing device is coupled to a pivot member and the proximal end of the arm. The arm biasing device is configured to upwardly bias the seat of the arm.

Rotatable and pivotable amusement apparatus

An amusement apparatus includes a base, an arm and a seat biasing device. The base is configured for placement on to a generally horizontal surface. The arm has a distal end and a proximal end. The proximal end of the arm is rotatably and pivotally coupled to the base. The distal end of the arm includes a seat. The seat biasing device is coupled to the seat and configured to repeatedly and resiliently contact the surface. An adjustable biasing member is coupled to the base and the proximal end of the arm. The biasing member is configured to upwardly bias the seat of the arm. A resilient ball is coupled to the seat.

A collapsing table is disclosed comprising a table panel (12); two seat panels (14, 16); two support panels (18, 20); two brace members (22, 24); and two attachment clasp members (108). The support panels (18, 20) each pivotally couple to a respective end of the table panel (12) by means of pivot lugs (100, 102), each lug having flat surfaces (106) which prevent unintentional uncoupling. The support panels (18, 20) further slideably couple to the seat panels (14, 16) by means of coupling lugs (90, 92) reciprocally moving with a U-shaped guide track (60). The coupling lugs (90, 92) have flat surfaces (96) which engage detent protrusions (61) at the terminal ends (62, 64) of the guide track (60), which in conjunction with the non-linear geometry of the guide track (60), resists unintentional movement of the table from either the extended or collapsed conditions.
