First Embodiment
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a rocking toy.

This rocking toy 1 has a pair of arch-shaped support frames 2, 2 made of, for example, steel.

These support frames 2, 2 are erected parallel to each other with a predetermined distance between them.

The lower ends of these support frames 2, 2 are fixed to foundation frames 3, 3 buried underground, so that only the upper parts of the support frames 2, 2 are exposed above the ground G.

The upper parts of the support frames 2, 2 are connected by a pair of arch-shaped connecting frames 4, 4.

Furthermore, multiple pairs of suspension cables 5, 5 are suspended from the support frames 2, 2, and each suspension cable 5 has a suspension rope 6 and a chain 7.

That is, multiple pairs of mounting fixtures 8, 8 are fixed at predetermined intervals to the support frames 2, 2, the upper end of a chain 7 is attached to each of these mounting fixtures 8, and the upper end of a suspension rope 6 is attached to the lower end of this chain 7.

A deformable floating member 9 is connected to the lower ends of each pair of suspension ropes 6, 6 so that it can absorb impacts.

The two pairs of suspension ropes 6, 6 at both ends of this floating member 9 are connected by an end connecting rope 31 at approximately the center in the vertical direction.

Furthermore, the adjacent suspension ropes 6, 6 on both sides of the floating member 9 are connected by a side connecting rope 32 at approximately the center in the vertical direction.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, this floating member 9 has a deformable sheet-like member (first deformable member) 10 in its central portion, and further has a deformable floating cord (second deformable member) 11 in its peripheral portion.

The sheet-like member 10 is made of a soft material, such as rubber, and is elongated, and is positioned so that it is approximately horizontal.

Furthermore, the floating cable 11 is formed, for example, from a rope, and is connected to the periphery of the sheet-like member 10 via a predetermined gap S by a plurality of first connecting members 12...

That is, multiple pairs of first connecting members 12 are arranged facing each other at intervals along both long edge portions of the sheet-like member 10, and one pair is arranged facing each short edge portion of the sheet-like member 10.

As shown in Figure 3, each first connecting member 12 has an upper member 13 and a lower member 14 formed in a roughly isosceles triangle shape, and is configured to sandwich the sheet-like member 10 and the floating rope body 11 between the upper member 13 and the lower member 14.

In other words, the upper member 13 and the lower member 14 sandwich the sheet-like member 10 at the top side of the approximately isosceles triangle shape, and sandwich the floating rope body 11 at the base side.

The upper and lower members 13 and 14 are fastened together at the top of the approximately isosceles triangle shape with inner bolts 15 and inner nuts 16, thereby connecting and fixing the sheet-like member 10 in a sandwiched state.

Furthermore, the upper member 13 and the lower member 14 are fastened together at the base of the approximately isosceles triangle by outer bolts 17 and outer nuts 18, and are also fastened together in the gap between the sheet-like member 10 and the floating rope 11 by intermediate bolts 19 and intermediate nuts 20, thereby connecting and fixing the floating rope 11 to the floating rope 11 with the floating rope 11 sandwiched between them.

The floating rope body 11, which constitutes the floating member 9 together with the sheet-like member 10, is connected to the lower ends of the multiple suspension ropes 6 via second connecting members 21.

As shown in Figure 4, the width (short side) of the floating member 9 is narrower than the distance between the support frames 2, 2, so that the suspension ropes 6 are suspended at an angle in the width direction of the sheet-like member 10.

Furthermore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the longitudinal spacing of the second connecting members 21 is the same as the spacing of the mounting fixtures 8, so that the suspension ropes 6 are suspended parallel to the longitudinal direction of the sheet-like member 10.

This allows the floating member 9 to swing easily in the longitudinal direction but not easily in the transverse direction.

As shown in Figure 7, the floating member 9, which is configured to easily swing in the longitudinal direction, has a U-shaped shock-absorbing member 22 fitted from the outside onto a first connecting member 12 arranged on the short edge of the sheet-like member 10, and is fastened and fixed with multiple mounting bolts 23 and mounting nuts 24.

This allows for better absorption of longitudinal impacts.

As shown in Figure 8, it is preferable to lay a resilient mat 25 on the ground G below the rocking toy 1 when in use.

With the above configuration, when a child P sits on the floating member 9, the sheet-like member 10 and floating cord 11 that make up the floating member 9 deform to fit the child P's body shape, and the part that comes into contact with the child's buttocks becomes concave, allowing the child P to sit stably.

In addition, the floating member 9 is made of a soft sheet-like member 10 and a floating rope 11, making it deformable, and therefore can effectively absorb impacts, improving safety.

Furthermore, a gap S is provided between the sheet-like member 10 and the floating rope 11, which allows for more effective absorption of impacts and improved safety.

We will now explain an example of how to use the rocking toy 1 configured in this way.

(1) As shown in Figure 9, rock the floating member 9 sideways by yourself, or rock it before riding on it to gain momentum.

(2) As shown in Figure 10, it passes around the floating member 9. In this case, the sheet-like member 10 and floating rope 11 deform, so they pass over the first connecting member 12.

(3) As shown in Figure 11, run the end connection rope 31 across.

(4) As shown in Figure 12, it hangs down and sticks to the underside of the floating member 9.

(5) As shown in Figure 13, it hangs from the end connection rope 31 or side connection rope 32.

(6) As shown in Figure 14, sway to the song, music, or rhythm.

(7) As shown in Figure 15, everyone swings the floating member 9 and one person walks across the floating member 9.

(8) As shown in Figure 16, the floating member 9 is used as an obstacle course.

(9) As shown in Figure 17, the floating member 9 is used as a swinging balance beam.

(10) As shown in Figure 18, swing the floating member 9 widely, grab the support frame 2, and jump over.

(11) As shown in Figure 19, lie face down on the end of the floating member 9 with half of your body exposed.

(12) As shown in Figure 20, lie face up on the floating member 9 with your arms and legs hanging down.

(13) As shown in Figure 21, ride with as many people as possible.

(14) As shown in Figure 22, players face each other from both sides of the floating member 9 and try to drop the ball toward each other.

(15) As shown in Figure 23, the family makes it look like a cradle or a house.

(16) As shown in Figure 24, the floating member 9 is used in place of a magic carpet.

(17) As shown in Figure 25, the floating member 9 can be used as a hammock for reading, etc.

(18) Use as a locking sheet as shown in Figure 26.

(19) As shown in Figure 27, an adult or older person lies down and a small child rocks them.

(20) Climb the arch-shaped support frame 2 as shown in Figure 28.

Since the floating member 9 is designed to be deformable in this way, it can be used in a variety of ways.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment described above, the suspension cable 5 was configured to include a suspension rope 6 and a chain 7. However, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 29, the suspension cable 5 does not use a chain 7, and the upper end of the suspension rope 6 is attached directly to the mounting fixture 8.

This configuration achieves the same effects as the first embodiment, and also makes it possible to climb up to the top of the support frame 2 by using the suspension rope 6.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the first embodiment described above, the suspension rope 5 was configured by connecting the suspension rope 6 and the chain 7, with a floating member 9 attached to the lower end. However, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 30, the pair of suspension ropes 5, 5 are configured such that the upper parts of the suspension ropes 6, 6 are connected by an upper connecting rope 33, narrowing the gap between the suspension ropes 6, 6.

This configuration achieves the same effects as the first embodiment, and also allows for a larger distance between the support frames 2, 2, thereby widening the swing range.

In the first to third embodiments, the sheet-like member 10 is made of a soft material such as rubber, and the floating cord 11 is made of a rope, but the present invention is not limited to this. The sheet-like member 10 may also be a deformable, shock-absorbing material such as cloth, a resin sheet, or a net-like sheet, and the floating cord 11 may also be a deformable, shock-absorbing structure, for example.
