Abstract
The piñata hanging and swinging apparatus includes a boom pipe that pivots about a vertical support via a pivot point. The boom pipe includes a handle such that the boom pipe can be animated to flail a piñata up/down/around the vertical support. The boom pipe includes a handle to enable articulation of the boom pipe, and a pulley is located at an end opposite of the handle through which a string extends to hang said piñata there from. The vertical support is secured to and rotates about a weight block that rests upon the base. An end user stands on the base while articulating the boom pipe in order to animate the piñata hanging from a string.
Claims8
A piñata hanging and swinging apparatus, comprising:
- a boom pipe that includes a pulley on a first end and a handle on a second end;
- wherein the boom pipe pivots about a pivot point that attaches to a vertical support wherein the pivot point is further defined by an elbow-shaped bracket being open at a top portion that extends from a side surface of the vertical support;
- wherein a in attaches the elbow-shaped bracket to the boom pipe;
- wherein a piñata attaches to a string and extends down from the pulley wherein an end user manipulates the handle to move the piñata thereon;
- wherein the vertical support attaches to and rotates about a horizontal axis such that the boom pipe can be rotated and raised and lowered;
- wherein the vertical support attaches to a weight block;
- wherein the weight block is attached atop a base;
- wherein the base is an elongated board onto which an end user stands when manipulating said piñata.
