A recreational swing unit comprises a lounge swing adapted to be supported by chains to an overhead support structure. The lounge swing understructure contains quick disconnect snap-on connectors attached to the supporting chains to facilitate assembly or dismantling of the lounge swing relative to the overhead support structure. The preferred overhead structure is a free-standing, portable structure having Y-shaped vertical legs particularly adapted to stabilized the free-standing structure in use.

A canopy apparatus (10) for conventional A-frame swing constructions (100) wherein the canopy apparatus (10) comprises a pair of support units (11) operatively connected to the horizontal support bar (103) of the swing set (100) and a cover unit (12) operatively attached to and suspended from the pair of support units (11).

A preferred form of a swing couch (10) is disclosed including a frame (18) suspended by a flaccid member (22) secured to ends (20) of the frame (18) and extending around and being supported by a pulley (24). Frame (18) can be adjusted between vertical to horizontal positions and held by clamping the flaccid member (22) adjacent pulley (24). Upholstery material (12) is draped between and secured to upper and lower horizontal cross beams (14, 16) of the frame (18) by having the free ends of the material (12) clamped to the beams (14, 16) while being wrapped around at least two corners of the beams (14, 16) to allow minimal adherence securement. A seat support (38) is adjustably suspended generally parallel to and slightly below the lower beam (16) by flaccid members (40) extending from ends (20). A back support (26) is pivotally mounted within the frame (18) about its upper edge by an axis which is parallel to and adjacent the upper beam (14). The lower edge of back support (26) is adjustably supported by flaccid members (28) extending from ends (20). Thus, the swing couch (10) conforms to the user's body without creating pressure points but provides sufficient skeletal support to encourage good posture.

A swing assembly includes a support frame unit with lateral frames and a horizontal bar interconnecting the lateral frames, a canopy frame with a pair of lateral rods perpendicular to the horizontal bar, and a pair of adjustable mounting units. Each of the mounting units includes a retaining member secured to the lateral rod, and having a first axle hole and a first end face formed with first engagement teeth around the first axle hole. A stationary seat on the horizontal bar has a second axle hole aligned with the first axle hole, and a second end face confronting the first end face and formed with second engagement teeth around the second axle hole. A pivot axle is secured to the lateral rod, extends through the first and second axle holes, and has a threaded end projecting through the stationary seat and engaging a rotary knob. The rotary knob is operable in a first direction to enable engagement between the first and second engagement teeth so as to prevent rotation of the retaining member relative to the stationary seat, and in a second direction to release the first engagement teeth from the second engagement teeth and permit rotation of the retaining member relative to the stationary seat.

A reclining chair is provided comprising a frame and a seating secured to said frame by a flexible member. The flexible member passes over and is captured by rolls whereby the seating is suspended from the frame. The flexible member may be affixed at its ends to the frame or the seating and the rolls are affixed to the other of the frame and seating. The frame may be hollow and the flexible members and/or rolls may be positioned within the frame.
