The rod to be supported, the base fixed to the frame of this swing to form the back of the character, the movable part of the character pivoted on this base, and the inside end of this movable part, respectively. It consists of an X-shaped link that pivotally supports at each end of the link. This X-shaped link has a central axis at the intersecting central part so that it can pivot relative to each other, and this central axis is also supported. A shaft is fixed to the lower end of the rod, and a character front plate is fixed to the base as a cover for these movable members.

[0005]

[Action]

 By swinging the swing chair, the arm member connected to the hanging metal fitting that suspends the swing chair swings up and down with the hanging metal fitting that swings left and right. As the arm member rotates, the rod suspended at its tip moves up and down almost vertically. A link intersecting in an X shape is pivotally attached to the lower end of the rod so as to be rotatable at the center, and the center of the X link moves up and down as the rod moves up and down. Since each tip of the X-shaped link is connected and pivotally connected to the inner end of the movable part of the character pivotally supported by the base, it is restricted by the link formed by the movable part of this character. , When the center of the X-shaped link moves up and down, the crossing angle of the X-shaped link changes. Therefore, the combined movement of the vertical movement of the crossing axis of the X-shaped link and the change of the crossing angle of the X-shaped link is transmitted to the end of the character moving part pivotally supported by the base, and the character moving part moves. Each can be rotated around a spindle.

Since the swing with movable character according to the present invention is configured as described above, for example, if the movable portion of the character is configured as the limbs of the animal, by swinging the swinging tool of the swing to the left and right, The character body of the front plate, which is fixed so as to cover the movable parts, can make the limbs flutter. In addition, the character can be easily replaced, and the one designed with the pattern preferred by the infant can be used.
