Patent attributes
A climbing structure includes a support frame and a wall assembly. The wall assembly comprises a chain arranged as a loop with an array of climbing panels attached to the chain so as to maintain a configuration that rotates the climbing panels downward as the user climbs to achieve a continuous climbing experience. A lower shaft assembly includes a shaft that rotates based on an angle of the wall assembly. A sprocket is mounted to the shaft such that the shaft and the sprocket rotate independently to maintain tension on the chain as the climbing panels rotate downward. A cable hub assembly is rigidly attached to the shaft and secures a cable that is attached to the support frame. A disc braking system includes a disc rigidly attached to the shaft and a caliper mounted on bearing bolts such that the disc braking system fixes the angle of the wall assembly without affecting the continuous climbing experience.
