Abstract
A bungee swing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a seat, a pair of tabs, and a fastener mechanism. The seat includes an integral closure portion, an exterior surface, and an interior surface opposite the exterior surface. The tabs are fixed to upper lateral edge margins of the seat. One of a hooked (or a looped) member of the fastener mechanism is fixed to a surface of each of the tabs. The other of the hooked (or looped) member of the fastener mechanism is fixed to the closure portion. The swing apparatus further includes at least four shock cords extending between the seat and a fixed support.

A bungee swing apparatus (10) comprising:
- a seat portion (24) including an integral closure portion (23), wherein the seat portion (24) defines an exterior surface (24A) and an interior surface (24B) located opposite the exterior surface (24A);
- a spaced-apart pair of tabs (22), each of which is secured to an associated one of a spaced-apart pair of upper lateral edge margins (25) of the seat portion (24);
- a first member (20A or 20B) of a hook-and-loop fastener mechanism (20A and 20B) being secured to a surface of each of the tabs (22);
- and
- a second member (20A or 20B) of the hook-and-loop fastener mechanism (20A and 20B) being secured to a surface of the closure portion (23),
- wherein the first and second members (20A and 20B) are each dimensioned, configured, and arranged on the tabs (22) and the closure portion (23), such that the seat portion (24) securely retains a user therein when the first and second members (20A and 20B) of the hook-and-loop fastener mechanism (20A, 20B) are securely joined together.

- a second member (20A or 20B) of the hook-and-loop fastener mechanism (20A and 20B) being secured to a surface of the closure portion (23);
- at least four loops (18) secured at predetermined spacings along an upper edge margin of the seat portion (24);
- at least four shock cords (26), each of which has a proximate end portion associated with one of the four loops and a distal end portion associated with a fixed support(S);
- and
- a plurality of carabiners (16), a first four of which releasably secure an associated proximate end portion of one of the four shock cords (26) to one of the loops (18) and a second four of which releasably secure an associated distal end portion of one of the shock cords (26) to a mounting device (12) on the support,
- wherein the first and second members (20A and 20B) are each dimensioned, configured, and arranged on the tabs (22) and the closure portion (23), such that the seat portion (24) securely retains a user therein when the first and second members (20A and 20B) of the hook-and-loop fastener mechanism (20A, 20B) are securely joined together.
