ABSTRACT:
A backyard carousel for small children is constructed from tubing and fittings which are attached into a lightweight unitary superstructure. The tubing and fittings are preferably plastic, with the joints preferably being permanently bonded with a plastic cement. The superstructure is freely rotatable on standard steel pipe, one section of which is firmly anchored in a base surface such as concrete and has its upper end flush with the ground surface, while the other section of which fits inside the one section and extends upwardly to form an internal post for journaling a hub of the tubing superstructure. A thrust bearing between the hub and post facilitates free rotation of the superstructure. Seating is arranged around the periphery of the superstructure with sufficient space between the inner edges of the seats and the hub for children to dangle their legs and rotate the superstructure by foot contact witch the ground. The leg space is large enough for an adult to step thereinto to vertically lift and remove the superstructure and post to enable grass beneath the carousel to be mowed.
