Patented Nov. 8 1932 UWED as HERBERT salon, or sinuses, MASSACHUSETTS- 1 [swine Application filed SeptemberlZ, 1930. Serial Nb. 481,524.
This invention relates to swings and par: ticularly to devices of this character intended for use .onlawns, and in playgrounds and similar places.
The object of the invention is the provision of a swing which will hold one or more persons which will be simpleand strong in construction and which may be used with safety by small children.
This object is attained by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, one preferred form thereof is illustrated in the drawings, this form having been found to give satisfactory and reliable results, al-
though it is to be understood that the various cise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described except as required by the scope of the appended claims.
Of the drawings Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a swing embodying the principles of the present invention.
Figure 2 represents a vertical section of same on line 2, 2, on Fig. 1.
Figure 8 represents a horizontal section on line 3, 3, on Fig. 2, and v Figure 4 represents a horizontal section on line 4, 4, on Fig. 2.
Similar characters indicate like parts throughout the several figures of the drawmgs. c
In the drawings, 10, 10 are inclined braces tied together at the bottom by the connectors 11, these braces 10 and connectors 11 being preferably formed of angle irons riveted to gether.
p i This pin 17 extends through a link 18 in I handles with both ends.
child occupyin wards 'therefro i n.
the bottom of which is anotherpin 19 ex tending through the upperends of two metal bar's2O straddling a squared wooden member 21 and secured thereto by bolts 22.
Near the lower end'of this single wooden member-21 is secured by bolts 23 a horizontal metal strap 24, the opposite en-ds25 of which are bent downwardly and toward each other, one end 25 being on one side face of member 21 while the other ison the opposite face.
, Tl eseen'ds 25 are secured tothe member 21 by the bolt 26. i
The. Strap 24 hassecured thereto saddle seats 2?,these seats being in alinement on opposite sides ofthemember21.
The ends 25 have their sides vertical so as to form a rigidlbrace for the seats27 and the strap 24 is bent U-shape at the middle to straddle the m rigidity to theseat supports.
28 the opposite ends of which form handles to grasp during thesoperation ofthe swing. The opposite ends of. the rods 28) have sleeves 28% mounted thereon, the sleeves 28w bearing against washers 8 and retained on saidv rod bycaps 8w threadedto said rod 28.
These handleseach have a length sufficient to be grasped by two hands so that the occupants ofthe seats 27 m Owing tothe shapeof the saddle seats a said seat cannot slip back- Art the lower end of the member 21 and Extending through the member 21 is arod ember 21 and give additional ay each grasp the on opposite sides thereof are stirrups 29 each formed of a metal bar and having at different levels foot rests 30, 31, the upper foot rest 30 having a guard 32 to prevent the foot from slipping oil. V The stirrups 29 are secured to the member 211w b1t'3. To the upper ends of the braces 10 issecured 3 means of O S 3 It is obvious, therefore, that every precaution is taken fort-he safety of the children using the swing and that said swing is built strongly with a minimum number of elements.
cheaply makingit possible to provide a'large I'Consequently, the swing can be made owing to the low initial cost and the fact that when once installed there is no cost for maintenance.
By having high and low foot rests 30, 31, children of differentages and sizes may be readily accommodated on the same swing without requiring any adjustments.
It is believed that the operation and many advantages of the invention will be understood without further descriptionx Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A swing comprising a support, a single member pivotally mounted thereon and depending therefrom, foot rests on opposite sides of the lower end of said member, a metal strap extending transversely of said member on opposite sides thereof and hav= ing its opposite ends extending downwardly and'toward each'other, seats secured to said strap on opposite sldes of said member, and
- means for securing the center and ends of said strap to said member.
2. A swing c'omprising'a support, a single continuous member pivotally mounted thereon and depending therefrom, foot rests secured directly to opposite sides of the lower end of said member, and extending from opposite faces thereof, a metal strap extending transversely of said member on opposite sides'th'ereof with a central U-shaped portion partially surrounding said member and having its opposite ends extending downwardly and toward each other on opposite sides of said member, sea-ts secured to said strap on opposite sides of saidmember, and means for securing the central U -shaped portion and ends of said strap to said member. I
3. Aswing comprisinga support, a'single continuous member pivoted thereto and depending therefrom, seats supported by said member in alinement on opposite sidesof said member, foot'rests secured directly to the opposite faces of the lower end of said at the center thereof to said member and provided with portions inclined downwardly and secured at their lower ends to said member, said seats being secured to the opposite ends of said horizontal portion, immovable stirrups secured directly to the opposite side faces of the lower end of said member and extending laterally therefrom, and immovable handles extending laterally from the sidefaces of said member above said stirrups.
i 6. A swing comprising a support, a single unitary member pivotally connected thereto and" depending therefrom, two oppositely disposed saddle seats, a triangular metal supporting strap having a horizontal portion secured at the center thereof to said member and r'ovided with port-ionsinclined downwar ly and secured at their lower ends to said member, said seats being secured to the opposite-ends of said horizontal portion.
