Abstract
The present invention provides an infant swing frame having a base, and first and second support posts. Each of the support posts is pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to the base, and each of the support posts has a second end. A cross member is coupled between the support posts. The support posts and the base are reconfigurable between a first position in which the support posts are angularly spaced from the base and a second position in which the support posts are adjacent the base.

A support frame, comprising:
- a base;
- first and second support posts, each support post pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to said base, and having a second end;
- and
- a cross member coupled between said support posts;
- said support posts and said base moveable between a first position where said support posts are angularly spaced from said base and a second position where said support posts are adjacent said base.
An infant swing, comprising:
- a base;
- first and second support posts, each support post pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to said base, and having a second end, said support posts and said base reconfigurable between a first position in which said support posts are angularly spaced from said base and a second position in which said posts are adjacent said base;
- first and second swing arms, each swing arm having a first end and a second end, each of said second ends being pivotally coupled to said second end of a respective support post and extending downwardly from said second end of said support posts toward said base when in said first position;
- and
- a seat coupled to said first ends of said swing arms.
An infant swing comprising:
- an upwardly extending frame support post;
- a swing arm pivotally coupled to an upper end of said frame support post and extending in a downward direction from said upper end of said frame support post;
- a seat coupled to said swing arm;
- said swing arm and said frame support post defining a reconfigurable swing area therebetween;
- and
- a shield coupled to said seat and disposed adjacent to said reconfigurable swing area.
A support frame, comprising:
- a base supportable on a support surface including a first ground engaging post and a second ground engaging post;
- and
- first and second support posts, each of said first and second support posts being pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to said base;
- said base and said support posts reconfigurable between a first position in which said support posts are spaced apart from said base and a second position in which said support posts are adjacent said base;
- at least a portion of each of said support posts lying in a common plane with a respective ground engaging post in both said positions.
A support frame, comprising:
- a base frame;
- a support post pivotally coupled to said base frame;
- and
- a positioning member, said positioning member rigidly attached to said support post and selectively engageable with said base frame;
- said support post and said base frame reconfigurable between a first position where said support post is angularly spaced from said base frame and where said base frame is engaged with said positioning member, and a second position where said support post is adjacent said base frame and where said base frame is spaced from said positioning member.
