provision of a swing of the character abovel set forth, which is suspended by means of supporting` cables connected at the front, rear and each side of the swing seat and arranged in such manner that the weight of the occupant will be evenly distributed to the base or main support of the swing.

lith the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings, the figure shown is a perspective view of the invent-ion.

Referring in detail to the drawings, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a horizontally arranged longitudinally extending member which forms the base of the swing. Extending transversely of the member 10 substantially centrally of the ends of the latter, is a cross bar 11, the latter being preferably disposed beneath the member 10. Secured upon this last mentioned member and disposed above the cross bar 11 is a seat 12, which includes outwardly divergent side arms 13 which incline toward one another at their rear ends and a back 14, which is secured between the side arms.

Mounted upon the forward en'd of the member 10 are upper and lower wings l5 and 16, which are connected together by struts 17. In addition, these wings are con nected by a standard 18, whose lower end is secured to the member 10 by passing through the lower wing 16 and whose upper Serial No. 518,597.

end is secured to the upper wing 15. Extending forwardly and centrally from the standard 18 is a shaft 19, upon which is mounted a propeller 20, the latter being ca- 5f pable of rotation Extending transversely of the member 1() at the rear of the seat 12 is a second transverse member 21, which is designed to simulate a rudder, while an additional ver- 6o tically disposed rudder 22 extends rearwardly and upwardly above the rudder 21.

In order to support the swing, there is provided a plurality of cables 23, which are connected at the front to the wing 15, rear to the member 10 and upon eaclrside of the seat 12 to the cross bar 11, through the medium of suitable eyes or other fastening devices as indicated at 24 The eye whici serves as a connection for the frontl cable 23 is secured through the upper wing 15 into the standard 18 so as to provide a proper connection between the swing and cable. The opposite ends of the cables are connected with a hook 25, by means of which the swing may be secured to a suitable support.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is so herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention what is claimed is S5 A toy airplane of the character described comprising a horizontally arranged longis tudinally extending member, a cross bar secured to the longitudinal member substantially central of the underside thereof, a seat secured upon the longitudinal member above the cross bar and including converging side pieces and a back, superimposed wings supported upon the longitudinally extending member in advance of the seat, a standard connecting the wings, a propeller associated with said standard, a horizon tally arranged transversely disposed mem- Y ber secured to said longitudinally extending member at the rear of the seat, a Vvertically arranged longitudinally disposed member extending rearwardly and upwardly from the transverse member, a pair of supporting cables, fastening means secured to the upper wing and adjacent the rear end of the longitudinally extending member respectively for receiving the ends of one cab1e,fastening means secured adjacent the ends of the cross bar and receiving the ends of the other cable, and a support for receiving the cables as and for the purpose specified. 10

In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
