34、pported by a component from below NOTE 1 The equipment can have one or several seats or stands. NOTE 2 Figure 1a) shows the principle components for rocking equipment. Figure 1b) shows the principle components for seesaws. NOTE 3 The seesaw/rocking movement depends on the type and configuration of f
35、ixture (see Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5). 3.2 equipment body main moving part connected to the equipment supporting component(s) 3.3 supporting component component which connects the equipment body to the anchorage 3.4 anchorage means by which stability and fixation to the ground/surfa
36、ce is made 3.5 damping combined effect of the supporting component(s) that moderates the speed at which the equipment can move and the reduction of shock effects at the outer positions of the equipment NOTE The damping effect can be: a) constant, where the effect is constant throughout the entire ra
37、nge of movement; and b) varied, where the effect depends on the load on and speed of the equipment. 3.6 range of movement maximum horizontal and/or vertical deviation of the seat/stand during use (see Figure 1) from the centre point at equilibrium position Licensed Copy: London South Bank University
