Rotatable swing set

Abstract

A rotatable swing set for providing amusement to children by spinning children secured within swing seats around a central point includes a main support post, a horizontally-disposed circular plate secured to the upper end of the support post for selective rotation thereon, and a plurality of arms radially mounted on the upper surface of the circular plate with the distal ends of the arms projecting outwardly past the circular plate and from which swing seats are suspended with one swing seat suspended from each arm. In addition, a support plate is mounted to the main support post subjacent the circular plate. The support plate supports thereon a drive motor, a chain linkage arrangement driven by the drive motor, and a drive wheel which frictionally engages the bottom surface of the circular plate. Actuation of the drive motor causes the drive wheel to frictionally engage and turn against the bottom surface of the circular plate which causes the circular plate to rotate, thus causing the riders secured within the swing seats to rotate around and outwardly from the support post. An adjustable ON/OFF switch controls the speed of the drive motor so that the angular speed of the circular plate can be regulated.
