Abstract
A rotatably interconnected two-seater swing having an aligner means and, in pairs, a stabilizer means, an attachment means, and a position means as a rider assembly. The swing is combined with a seesaw means for inducing endwise swinging. The aligner means may be monoshaft or multishaft. The stabilizer means may be a spreader means or a hanger means, the former being combined with bifurcated tensional support lines, the latter with a single line attached above the center of gravity of a nearby rider. The support lines may be inwardly inclined, upright, or outwardly inclined. The swing travels endwise and sidewise and is capable of describing an apparent figure-eight pattern when the ends of the swing move transpositionally.
Claims24
A swing for two riders which is suspendable from a pair of opposed pivots and comprises a pair of rider assemblies and an aligner means for rotatably interconnecting and aligning said rider assemblies in spaced-apart relationship, each said rider assembly of said pair of rider assemblies comprising a stabilizer means for enabling one said rider on one said rider assembly to remain substantially perpendicularly disposed at all times to a longitudinally bisecting plane passing through the nearer of said pivots, whereby said swing is simultaneously swingable endwise, sidewise, and transpositionally.
A swing for two riders in generally facing relationship, comprising:
- A. at least one aligner shaft;
- and
- B. a pair of assemblies, each adapted to support a person thereon, which:
- 1. are disposed on opposite ends of and spaced apart in approximate alignment with said at least one aligner shaft,
- 2. are independently rotatable with respect to each other and to said at least one aligner shaft,
- 3. are interconnected by and rotatably attached to said at least one aligner shaft, and
- 4. each comprise a stabilizer means for limiting revolution of a person on said assembly about an axis substantially parallel to said at least one aligner shaft to less than an upside-down position when said swing is operably suspended from a pair of opposed support pivots.
