The swing is combined with a seesaw means for inducing endwise swinging. The aligner means may be monoshaft or multishaft. The stabilizer means may be a spreader means or a hanger means, the former being combined with bifurcated tensional support lines, the latter with a single line attached above the center of gravity of a nearby r...

A drop-box mechanism or system is disposed adjacent to an article conveyor and atop a flat mail storage tub and comprises a platen movable between first and second chambers at which the open top of the storage tub is respectively uncovered and covered. When the platen uncovers the storage tub, deflecting fingers move downwardly so as to cover the platen tracks and the space defined between the bottom of the drop-box mechanism and the open top of the storage tub so as to prevent flat mail article...

An attachment for attaching the upper end of a swing device to a raised top bar. The attachment includes a pair of arcuate slide sections having opposite ends in mating engagement to form a circular slide, a U-bolt having a pair of parallel threaded end segments connected by a curved bridging portion slidably engaged in the slide, a generally V-shaped saddle bracket whose arms have first ends connected by a saddle, spaced-apart second ends containing through holes for receiving the end segments ...

A swing formed of an elongated length of elastic tubing intended to be attached to an overhead beam or tree limb in a manner hanging downwardly therefrom and forming a loop in which a child may sit for swinging movement relative to the supporting beam or tree limb.

Still further, the tubing may include a pair of spaced apart foot pads molded therein and intended for a child to stand thereon when swinging on ...

A lawn swing having a level swing platform which is suspended for swinging movement in a supporting frame by hinged swing support members, hinged connections defining corners of a parallelogram so that the platform remains level when it swings; and a centrally located strut having a hinged connection with the frame and the platform for supporting a table centrally of the platform, the table swinging in and tangential to an arc having as its center the hinged connection of the strut with the supp...

A child's swing operated by a spring motor. The swing includes a frame, upstanding legs supporting the frame and a swing seat suspended from the frame. The spring motor includes a coiled spring having one end secured to a ratchet wheel and the other end secured to the frame. A pair of pawls alternately engage the ratchet wheel, thereby controlling the release of the tension on the spring. The power of the spring in turn drives the seat in a reciprocating pivotal movement. The spring is formed fr...
