Anti-Wrap Swing Hanger And Swing Assembly

An anti-wrap swing hanger and top rail assembly comprising:

• an swing hanger having an elongate body that extends longitudinally along an axis and defines a channel;
• the swing hanger further comprising a pair of lugs that extend from the elongate body transverse to the axis and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, each lug defining a bore;
• the swing hanger further comprising:
• a pair of bolts, each bolt extending through a respective bore;
• and
• a pair of shackles, each shackle coupled to one lug of the pair of lugs by the pair of bolts, respectively and configured to flexibly couple a swing to the swing hanger;
• a top rail having a substantially tubular body that extends longitudinally along the axis and is partially disposed within the channel of the swing hanger;
• the top rail further comprising a pair of rivets coupled to the substantially tubular body and extending from the substantially tubular body transverse to the axis, each of the rivets being disposed about the swing hanger so as to minimize motion of the swing hanger relative to the substantially tubular body along the axis.

A method of retrofitting a swing assembly having a top rail supported by a pair of legs with an anti-wrap swing hanger and top rail assembly comprising:

• cutting a portion of the top rail of the swing assembly;
• forming a pair of flanges that extend parallel to an axis away from the pair of legs, respectively;
• removing the portion of the top rail;
• and
• bolting the anti-wrap swing hanger and top rail assembly to the flanges.
