What is Woven Strap for Indoor Playground
Created on 09.19
1. Definition
Among the structural system of indoor playground, the woven strap is a kind of high-strength flat textile component. The structure and function of woven strap are completely different with the traditional cylindrical rope. The woven strap is not used in the form of single line, but is orderly arranged in parallel or cross form to assemble the wide and continuous load-bearing surface or protection plane. Therefore, the basic function of woven strap is to compose the body of main play components, that is, to form the surface of all kinds of flexible bridge, climbing path and separated safety wall etc.. It can provide a kind of stable and reliable planar support for the children’s activity, so the woven strap is very important to guarantee the comfort and safety of children’s play.
2.Main Materials.
The performance and safety factor of woven strap is directly decided by the material used in manufacturing process. The industry has very strict requirement on the selection of material, and the mainstream products focus on the application of high-performance synthetic fiber. The high strength polyester is the most widely used material in the current market. It has very good performance in strength, anti-light and tensile elongation, and the surface of bridge will not deform in the long-term use. The nylon strap is a more exquisite product. Compared with the polyester strap, it has better abrasion resistance, strength and smoothness, which can provide the children with the most protection and the most comfortable feeling, but the manufacturing cost will be higher. While the polypropylene is an economical material, it has obvious shortage in durability, and more seriously, it has obvious defect in aging resistance. It will be brittle in the case of light exposure, and therefore, the reputable manufacturer will not use it in the key load-bearing component to avoid the technical and long-term quality risk.
3. Application.
The ribbon form of woven strap has certain advantages in structure. Whether it is used to construct the bridge or path, it can compose a continuous and level plane with little gap. This form of planar structure can fundamentally eliminate the risk of children's feet passing through or being caught, and provide a more stable and confident feeling, compared with the rope-net structure. This planar design will also distribute the supporting force more uniformly, and diffuse the pressure generated by children's activities in a more comfortable way, whether walking or crawling. At the same time, the large surface of these straps can design more wonderful pattern and color, and design the children's view in a more impressive and unified play land.
When these straps are used for side protection on the platform, they will become the safety protection structure with much more enclosure compared with the net structure, and give the children a more physical comprehensive containment.
4. Safety.
The safety of woven straps is not just a link in the quality control process, but a systematic process throughout the entire process from raw material selection to maintenance.
The most basic requirement for woven strap safety is that the raw materials used are environmentally friendly and non-toxic, that is, they will never harm children's health in any case.
- Technical requirements for manufacturing. For example, the edges are specially treated with heat-sealing to make them smooth and burr-free. They will not fray or rub against anything.
- The joint strength of the sewn connection points between straps is even more important. They must be sewn with high-strength industrial thread and reinforced stitching patterns. The breaking strength of the joint point shall not be lower than that of the strap.
- When installing, the straps must be stretched to a pre-tensioned force. This ensures that the structure is strong and has proper elasticity.
- After the equipment is put into use, it is essential to establish a routine inspection and maintenance system. This is to detect and replace any components that are worn, frayed, or aged in time. It removes the potential hazards before they can happen.
