ABSTRACT:
A slide or chute having an elongate bedway with a longitudinal portion on which a person slides is provided with at least one longitudinally extending tubular channel having an opening at an upper end and an opening at a lower end through which objects and materials may be passed from the upper end and discharged from the lower end. The tubular channels may be formed integral with the slide or chute or may be provided as separate members for attachment to existing slides, chutes, and support columns. The tubular channels may be disposed on an underside of the bedway, on laterally opposed sides of the bedway, and on curved hood portions with a pair of elongate tubular channels extending therefrom along laterally opposed sides of the bedway each having an opening at a lower end. Longitudinal tubular channels may also be connected with the elevated deck support structure from which the upper end of the slide or chute is supported. Passing materials through the channels provides amusement and at the same time replaces material beneath the exit end of the bedway or beneath the deck which may otherwise be worn way or displaced after a period of time by the foot traffic of persons using the slide.
