The purpose of this Invention Patent request is a collapsible slide that provides for the function for which it is intended various advantages to be detailed later on, apart from others inherent to its organization and constitution.

At present there are multiple and diverse types of slides on the market, the majority of which are made up of integral sets installed permanently in public parks and gardens. They consist of a ramp that is accessed by a ladder so that children can slide down said ramp.

The collapsible slide, purpose of this invention, is made of exchangeable molded material parts so that it can be mounted and folded in numerous places.

This collapsible slide includes a grooved ramp and an access platform that are joined by tongue and groove means, with the ramp able to rotate, to parts forming the handrail of said platform. These are extended underneath and backwards forming the sides of the slide ladder.

The invention has two frames joined between the lower and upper zones of the sides of said ladder, so that its bolsters form the steps. At the same time, the end of a double T rotating part is coupled between both frames constituting a central step of the ladder, whilst its other end is attached by screw caps to the lower intermediate zone of the ramp. This ensures assembling of the slide whilst the unscrewing of said screw caps permits folding of the double T part and the ramp on the ladder of the slide, facilitating its folding.

The slide also includes a support in the shape of two lateral support feet, which is attached under the end of the ramp by screw caps.

In order to complement the description that follows and to help with a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report includes a set of drawings in which the most significant details are represented in an illustrative but not limiting way.

• Figures 1 and 2 shows posterior and front perspective views of the collapsible slide in a position to be used.
• Figures 3 to 13 show views corresponding to the respective mounting phases of said slide.

In view of the figures commented above and in accordance with the numbering used, a performance example of the invention can be seen. This consists of a collapsible slide made up of a set of exchangeable molded material parts amongst which are a grooved ramp -1- and an access platform -2-, which are joined by groove and tongue means, with the ramp able to rotate, to parts -3- forming the handrail of said platform. These are extended underneath and backwards forming the sides of the slide ladder.

The slide has two frames -4- and -5- that, by means of respective L-shaped lateral projections -4a- and -5a- are coupled between the lower and upper zones of the sides of said ladder, so that its bolsters form the steps of the ladder. At the same time, the end of a rotating double T part -6- is coupled between both frames by means of T-shaped lateral projections -6a-, constituting a central step of the ladder. Meanwhile, the platform -2- is joined by means of widened end stubs between the handrails corresponding to the part -3-. Thus the platform -2- is located on the upper frame -5-, as indicated in the successive mounting phases represented in figures 3 to 8.

Figure 9 shows a support -7- made up of lateral support feet, which is fastened under the end of the ramp -1- by means of a screw cap -8- screwed on to a screwed stud of the support -7-.

Figure 10 shows the coupling of the rotating upper part of the ramp -1- to the handrails of the part -3- by means of L-shaped projections -1a- provided on the sides of said ramp, which, thanks to the rotating nature of the double T part -6-, the folding arrangement of the slide shown in figure 11 can be adopted. In said figure folding of the ramp -1- and the double T part -6- on to the slide ladder, thus occupying minimum space that facilitates its transportation, can be seen.

Figure 12 shows how the slide is put into use, which is obtained after turning the ramp -1- then the double T part -6-and fastening of the free end of this part to the lower intermediate zone of the ramp -1- by means of screw caps -9-screwed on to screwed studs provided in said zone of the ramp -1-, thus ensuring the slide is assembled (figure 13). On the other hand, when said screw caps are unscrewed, the double T part and the ramp can be folded on to the slide ladder, facilitating its folding and the reverse action is taken when it is to be later assembled.
