Abstract
A recreational swing used as a children's toy which incorporates a pronounced bouncing action along with the pendulum motion of a traditional swing. The bouncing swing utilizes an extension device enclosed in and attached to a rigid tube which is fastened to the swing seat. The weight of the child extends the device which gently rebounds as the child swings. The tubular sleeve protects the child from the action of the extension device and also acts as a handle. The swing is suspended by a rope, chain, or cable from an overhead support.
