Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swing with a frame containing support bars, with at least one support bar held by the support bars with a substantially horizontal axis and with a swing seat suspended from the support bar for accommodating people.
  • a seat suspended on ropes, chains or rods carries out an oscillating movement on a section of a circular arc, the center of which is the suspension device, i.e. is generally the horizontal support beam, which rests firmly on two spaced-apart support beams, which are anchored stationary in the ground and form the frame together with the support beams.
  • Such swings are known in many versions and modifications. In addition to those on playgrounds, where the seat usually holds one person, there are also other embodiments, in particular on amusement markets, in which entire groups of people can climb such a swing together. The movement of such swings is monotonous in the long run.
  • the invention has for its object to increase the pleasure or leisure value of such swings in that the user a surprising and is exposed to varied movements.
  • This object is achieved in that the support bar is arranged perpendicular to its axis deflectable.
  • the support spars are made of resilient material, e.g. B. from sufficiently thin spring steel rods or glass fiber rods.
  • the swinging movement of the swing seat now also sets the support bars in a movement that overlaps that of the swing seat.
  • a forward deflection of the rocking seat (seen from the user) also bends the support spars forward, the upper ends of which the support spar is attached also approach the ground.
  • a further embodiment consists in that joints with a horizontal pivot axis parallel to the support beam are provided between the lower end sections and the ground anchors, about which the entire frame consisting of support and support beams can be pivoted or deflected. This is preferably done with the help of a drive that can work hydraulically, pneumatically, mechanically, electrically or otherwise.
  • springs can also be used, in particular torsion springs with a horizontal axis parallel to the support beam or corresponding leg springs, one leg of which is anchored in the ground and the other leg of which is suitable a support spar runs out.
  • leg springs are wound in opposite directions in the two support bars so that their axes are aligned with one another and are also parallel to the support bar.
  • these joints or springs are arranged between two sections of the support bars. As a result, its upper section is movable relative to the lower section. This results in other forms of vibration, since the ratios of the lengths of the hanging elements, on which the swing seat is suspended, are changed relative to the sections of the support bars that can swing.
  • the support bars can be made of resilient material and can also be divided into individual sections which are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
  • a swing of a known type is shown, in a swing seat 1, shown here as a seat board, is suspended on ropes 2 with a horizontal support bar 3.
  • the ends of the support beam 3 rest on two vertical support beams 4 which are anchored at their lower ends to the ground by means of ground anchors 5.
  • the movement that can be carried out by a user on the swing seat is indicated by line 6.
  • the swing shown in Figs. 2 and 3 also has two vertical support bars 4, the upper end portions 9 approach each other and merge integrally into the horizontal support beam 3, on which the swing seat 1 is suspended by means of hanging elements 2.
  • the support bars 4 are divided into an upper end section 9 and a lower end section 8. Between the sections 8 and 9, a leg spring 7 is arranged so that the pivot axes of the two leg springs are aligned and run horizontally and axially parallel to the support bar 3.
  • the spring legs of the springs 7 are attached to the lower and upper end portions 8 and 9 of the support bars.
  • the lower end portion 8 of the support bars is in each case with an earth anchor 5 which, for. B. is embedded in the ground, connected.
  • the upper structure consisting of the upper end portions 9 of the support bars 4 and the support bar 3, swing around the axes 7a of the springs 7. This movement is superimposed on the pendulum movement of the swing seat 1 and the ropes 2.
  • the lower end sections 8 of the support bars 4 are anchored in a stationary manner, and the upper end sections 9 are firmly connected to the support bar 3.
  • the support beam 3 can alternatively be connected to the upper end sections in a movable, in particular rotatable, manner.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the swing, in which two vertical support bars consist of only one section that supports at its upper end the horizontal support bar 3, on which the swing seat 1 is suspended by means of hanging elements 2.
  • a torsion spring namely a torsion bar 20
  • the torsion bar 20 is firmly connected at its end 10 to the respective ground anchor 5.
  • the other end 11 of the torsion bar is rotatably supported in a counter bearing 12 to support the weight to better support the swing and to ensure the torsion movement of the torsion bar reliably and smoothly.
  • FIG. 5 shows the path of movement of the swing seat 1 of the swing according to FIGS. 2 and 3 or 4.
  • the deflection of the swing seat from the plane formed by support bars 4 and support bar 3 is plotted as the abscissa, the ordinate gives the height h of the swing seat from the ground at.
  • the parameter is the weight of the user for a given swing.
  • the user is also periodically moved up and down during the rocking movement. In addition, the period of the movement process is extended considerably compared to conventional swings.
  • the swing according to the invention is suitable both as a garden or playground device.
  • the swing seat 1 is then designed so that one or two people can find space on it at the same time. If the dimensions are suitably large, in particular if the support bars are deflected by means of an external drive, the swing can also be used on amusement markets etc.
  • the swing seat 'l is then preferably designed to accommodate several people at the same time.
  • fixed, immovable support bars are used, on the upper end portion of which guide means are provided, along which the support bar can perform a back and forth movement.
  • the movement of the handlebar can be intercepted by spring means which influence the sequence and the period of the back and forth movement.
  • this back and forth movement can also be realized by an external drive.
