Swing attachment

An attachment for attaching the upper end of a swing device to a raised top bar, said attachment comprising

• a pair of similar arcuate slide sections, each slide section having
• first and second ends;
• opposite inner and outer walls extending between said ends, said walls being shaped and dimensioned so that when the slide sections are juxtaposed with their corresponding ends in butting engagement, the inner walls of the slide sections define an opening corresponding the cross-section of the top bar, and
• a peripheral semi-circular groove in the outer wall of each slide section which when the slide sections are juxtaposed and butted define a substantially continuous circular slide having an axis, and
• fastening means for clamping said slide sections to the top bar, said fastening being slidable along said circular slide at least 360° about said axis said fastening means comprising,
• a U-bolt having a pair of substantially parallel legs connected by a bridging portion having a curvature corresponding to the curvature of said slide;
• a bracket including a pair of arms having corresponding first ends connected by a saddle portion and corresponding spaced-apart second ends having corresponding through holes which are so spaced-apart and sized as to receive the legs of the U-bolt, and a pair of opposing sliders projecting from said arms near the second ends thereof, each slider being slidably received in said slide when the bracket is engaged against the slide sections and the legs of the U-bolt extend through said holes, and
• at least one nut threadedly engaging a leg of the U-bolts so as to clamp the slide sections between the U-bolt and the saddle bracket.
