UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE BAUER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
SWING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,080, dated February 16, 1886.
Application filed October 21, 1884. Serial No.14tl,104.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE BAUER, of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved swing, so constructed that it can be operated by the persons occupying it by exerting a downward pressure with the feet.
The invention consists in the con truction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which a longitudinal sectional elevation of my improved swing is shown.
The downwardly-projccting swingbars A are hinged or pivoted in some suitable manner to a ceiling, B, or to a suitable frame or platform supported by suitable uprights. The swing-bars A are united near their upper ends by a cross-rod, O, on which a roller, D, is mounted. To each swing-bara horizontal bar, E, is secured at the lower end at right angles to the bar, and the said bars E are united at their ends by transverse seats F, which are slightly inclined backward. The ends of the bars E are braced by braces G, extending from the lower ends of the swing-bars A to the ends of the bars E. Below each bar E a bar, J, is pivoted, which bars J are united at their ends by transverse foot-bars K to form a rocking frame, to which ropes L are secured,
(No model.)
which are passed over the roller D on opposite sides, and are secured to the ceiling or the top frame B above the same foot-board to which they are secured at their lower ends.
If desired, the roller D may be pivoted on one or both swing-bars.
The operation is as follows: One or more persons occupy each seat, and the person or persons on one seat exert a downward pressure with the feet on the corresponding footboard, whereby the swing-frame is swung in the direction from the center toward that board on which the pressure is exerted by the person or persons on the seat. Then a pressure is exerted on the other foot-board and theswing-frarne is swung in the inverse direction, and so on alternately.
Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A swing comprising the bars A, the seatbars E, secured to the lower ends of bars A, the seats F F at opposite ends of the seat-bars, the bars, J, pivoted to the bars A below the bar E and between the two seats, the footpieces K on opposite ends of the pivoted bars J, the rods 0, connecting the bars A near their upper ends, and the ropes L, secured to the pivoted frame JK, and extending upward over the rod 0, as shown and described.
GEORGE BAUER.
