Abstract
A bench-type seat (1) for suspension from non-rigid suspension elements, such as chains (2, 3), to provide a child's swing, comprises a generally plate-like, substantially rigid, member (4) to bear the weight of a user sitting on the seat, resilient polymeric material (5) secured to the plate-like member (4) to provide protection at the periphery of the plate-like member (4), and respective securing means (6) for securing each of the suspension elements (2, 3) to the plate-like member (4). A respective pillar (8) of the resilient polymeric material (5) projects from the plate-like member (4) at the location of each securing element (6) so as to surround the suspension elements (2, 3) with a substantial thickness of polymeric material and take up lateral forces created by them.
Description
The present invention relates to locate the swing seat that uses by children at sports ground etc.
As what we set forth among the british patent specification Nos.1535728 and 2267223 formerly, for the swing that children use, important problem is a safety, and is solid, good destructibility resistance.
Yet, consider that from commercial interest the cost that provides swing security and anti-destructive to be spent also is a major issue.
The low swing of cost that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of safety, good destructibility resistance and provide security and anti-destructive to be spent.
The invention provides one and hang over the following so that the bench formula seat of child swing to be provided of a nonrigid sprung parts such as chain, this seat comprises:
One be used for bearing the weight that is sitting in the user on this seat be the plate-shaped member of rigidity substantially,
Be fixed on the plate-shaped member in order to the periphery at plate-shaped member provide protection flexible polymeric material and
Each sprung parts is fixed to corresponding fixture on the plate-shaped member; it is characterized by a corresponding pillar of making by elastic polymeric material and stretch out from plate-shaped member, so that the protective sleeve around each sprung parts with suitable thickness in use is provided in each fixture position.
Such seat allows to provide the manufacturing cost of the seat of swing to reduce greatly when guaranteeing safety and anti-damage performance.
In use, the oscillating motion of front and back makes the jockey (as an eyebolt) between sprung parts and the plate-shaped member bear sizable active force.Yet; according to the present invention; when the pillar of an elastomeric material stretches out so that when providing one to have the protective sleeve of suitable thickness around each sprung parts from plate-shaped member in each fixture position, these pillars can absorb some side forces that produced that move forward and backward by swing.This can realize, because the position of that is sitting in that the position of the user on the seat is lower than that sprung parts stretches out from these pillars, therefore a moment is applied on these pillars, and these pillars are resisted its natural elasticity distortion in response to this moment.
Such structure also has enough stability, because two sprung partses might be directly connected on the seat, fall " V " font and need be in the junction of the end of seat and each sprung parts do not form one by chain, it is often adopted before that " V " font is fallen in this formation one.Just, might be fixing with 1 one or four of fixing replacement.
Therefore, can make the jockey between sprung parts and the plate-shaped member littler, simpler, when adopting fixingly replace fixedly the time at 2 at 4, the quantity of jockey be reduced half than the jockey that usually adopts.Because it is very expensive such as costs such as eyebolts that the jockey of complete swing is provided, can reduce totle drilling cost greatly thus.
Best, the polymeric material layer that pillar or each pillar all have one deck at least 8 millimeters thick is around corresponding sprung parts, and stretches out above on the seat surface at user place at least 3 centimetres.
But, described layer at least 1 cm thick and pillar stretch out at least 4 centimetres then better.
The thickness of described layer between 1 and 2.5 centimetre and pillar to stretch out between 4 and 10 centimetres also be good.
The Shore hardness of polymeric material is preferably between 50 and 70.But, also can use other the hardness number outside this scope.
It is favourable that the integral body of plate-shaped member is covered by polymeric material basically.
This material can be natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
On preferably molded this plate-shaped member of polymeric material.
Plate-shaped member preferably has two or more enhancing ribs on its bottom surface.
Plate-shaped member is preferably made of aluminum.
Seat can comprise sprung parts and when sprung parts was chain, each pillar was molded so that polymeric material infiltrates in the chain link of chain around corresponding chain.Such structure is effective especially to reducing the power that in use is applied on the jockey.
Another kind of mode is, the inside of each pillar can have a passage longitudinally, in order to hold a sprung parts.The advantage of this mode is that sprung parts can use on-the-spot the connection, and needn't connect in factory.
Above-mentioned passage preferably has a cross cross section, the chain sprung parts that forms to hold the chain link of alternately arranging with the right angle.Utilize this device, can keep the gap between chain and the pillar very little; Such gap may produce adverse influence to the function of structure.
Perhaps the cross section of above-mentioned passage can be circular, or is square basically.
If desired, can in each vertical passage, provide a cannula-like insert, to surround corresponding sprung parts.Utilize this device, the power of sprung parts can be applied on the pillar more equably, to avoid wearing and tearing.
The material of insert can be a plastic material.
Preferably the outside of insert has circular cross sections, and its inside is the cross passage, the chain sprung parts that forms in order to hold the chain link of alternately arranging with the right angle.
Two pillars are preferably only arranged, fixing to provide at 1 of seat.
Seat plane is preferably one oblong, provides a corresponding fixture at this oblong each end on the axle therein.
Each fixture has a circular port on plate-shaped member, in order to hold an eyebolt fixture, or a groove arranged on plate-shaped member, one chain link or " U " the shape bolting part that constitutes the chain of corresponding sprung parts can pass through from this groove, or the circular port of pair of spaced is provided on plate-shaped member, to hold one " U " shape bolting part.
Best, the trim line that elastic polymeric material extends beyond plate-shaped member comprises that to form a border around the edge of plate-shaped member one has the peripheral overskirt of suitable thickness.
The border preferably includes the hinge shape part of an elastomeric material, the shape of the plate-shaped member in hinge shape part scope makes it have the beneath space that overskirt can be hinged on plate-shaped member, in use, under a effect near the edge of the seat of hinge shape part and the impact between the object, overskirt produces distortion and is forced to resist the elasticity of hinge shape part inwardly hinged gradually.
Preferably overskirt has a plurality of blind holes, and these blind holes extend into the inside of overskirt from its end,
