Abstract
A board swing which utilizes a pair of somewhat flexible side frame members which are interconnected by a top rail with this top rail being spaced from the supporting surface on which the side frame members rest. An elongated board is mounted by a pair of flexible side members onto the top rail by a pair of pivot means. The elongated board is capable of swinging longitudinally relative to the top rail and is also capable of swinging side-to-side toward and away from the side members. The top rail is pivotable relative to the side members. There may be included a safety member that extends between the pivot means that mounts the flexible supports onto the top rail.
Claims7
A board swing apparatus comprising:
- a frame comprising a pair of spaced apart, somewhat flexible, side frame members which are to be mounted on a supporting surface and a top rail member which connects between said side frame members, said top rail member to be spaced from the supporting surface forming an air space therebetween which is also located between said side frame members;
- an elongated board having a first end and a second end which is mounted within said air space and is spaced from the supporting surface;
- a first flexible support attached to said first end, a second flexible support attached to said second end, said first flexible support pivotally mounted by first pivot means to said top rail, said second flexible support pivotally mounted by second pivot means to said top rail;
- a safety member extending between said first flexible support and said second flexible support, said safety member being mounted to both said first pivot means and said second pivot means, said safety member adapted to be grasped by a human standing on said elongated board while swinging relative to said frame;
- and
- said first pivot means includes a first L-shaped member attached to both said first flexible support and said safety member, said second pivot means includes a second L-shaped member attached to both said second flexible support and said safety member, both said first and said second L-shaped members being mounted by a separate bearing to said top rail.
