PATENT OFFICE.
WALTON W. BENBURY, OF HERTFORD, NORTH CAROLINA.
SWING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
` Patented June 1a, 1906.
-Application iled December 16. 1905. Serial No. 292,070.
T0 afZZ whom it may concern.'
Beit known that I, WALTON W. BENBURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hertford, in the county of Perquimans and State of North Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvements in Swings, of which 'to develop the muscles in an attractive manner.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consistsin the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafter fully described, illustrated, and claimed. Y
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated in perspective a swing embodying the present invention.
The swing contemplated in this invention embodies a suitable supporting-frame having the end upright members consisting of the parallel standards 1, spaced at a suitable distance apart to permit the swing-body to oscillate freely back and forth between the swing. The end upright frames embody the top cross-bars 2 and are also connected by a base-frame embodying longitudinal sills 3 and bottom cross-bars 4, which connect the sills 3 adjacent to the opposite ends of the frame as a whole. The sills 3 project at their ends beyond the cross-bars 4, and inclined braces 5 extend from the extremities of the sills 3 upward to the standards 1, as clearly shown, thus bracing the frame longitudinally. The top cross-bars 2 project at their ends laterally beyond the uprights or standards 1, and other braces 6 extend from the extremities of the bars 2 downward and connect with the standards 1, thus serving to brace the structure laterally.
Suspended within and upon the frame is a swing-body 7, which is preferably made in the form of a boat having a pointed bow and a square stern and suspended by means of ropes or chains 8, which extend from the top cross-bars 2 downward and are preferably provided at their lower ends with snap-hooks 9, adapted to engage eyes 10, connected with the bow and stern of the boat or body of the swing. The construction described enables the wing-body to be detached whenever desire Connected with the standards 1 are brackets 11, in which are journaled fenders 12 in the form of rollers, which turn on vertical axes and against which the sides of the boat or body are adapted to impinge while the occupants are entering or leaving the swing-body and also during the oscillations of the same while being operated.
The mechanism for operating or propelling the swing consists of a pair of oars 13, which work in oar-locks 14, mounted on the sides of the boat in the usual manner. Each of said oars comprises two sections or members having a jointed connection or hinged together at the point 15, which point is located at a suitable distance between the point at which the oar is fulcrumed on the oar-lock and the outer end of the oar, which is attached to one of the standards 1 of the supporting-frame. The outer end of the oar has a loose pivotal connection with the standard 1, as shown at 16, said connection being shown in the form of a hook and eye, one member of which is connected to the standard and the other to the extremity of the oar. permits the oar to rise and fall and accommodate itself to the movement of the hands of the operator in a manner exactly similar to the operation of rowing a boat. The swingbody is provided with suitable seats 17, upon which the rower or operator and other occupant or occupants are seated during the operation of the swing. The operator grasps the 'oars in the ordinary manner and by manipulating the same in the usual way oscillatory movement is imparted to the swing in a direction lengthwise of the swing-body. The device as a whole forms an attractive and amusing exercising apparatus.
The invention is susceptible of changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction, which may accordingly be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any ofthe advantages thereof.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is- 1. A swing comprising a supporting-frame, a swing-body suspended thereon, and manually-operated swing-propelling mechanism consisting of anY oar fulcrumed on the swingbody and terminally connected with the supporting-frame.
2. A swing comprising a supporting-frame,
Said arrangement Y IOO IIO
a swing-body suspended thereon, and manuallyeoperated swing-propelling mechanism consisting of an oar fulcrumed on the swingbody7 said oar being connected to the supporting-frame and being jointed between its fulcrum-point and its point of connection with the supporting-frame.
3 A swing comprising a supportingdirame, a swing-body suspended thereon, and provided with an oar-lock, and manually-operated swing-propelling mechanism consisting of an oar mounted in said oar-lock and terminally connected with the supporting-frame,
4. A swing comprising a supporting-frame,
a swing-body suspended thereon7 and a manlually-operated swing-propelling device consisting of an oar ulcrumed on the swing-body7 said oar having a pivotal connection at one end with the supporting-frame and being jointed between the fulcrum-point and point of connection with the supporting-frame.
5. A swing comprising a supporting-frame, a swing-body suspended thereon, manuallyoperated swing-propelling mechanism interposed between the swing-body and the supporting-frame, and fender-rollers on the supporting-frame for arresting and limiting the lateral movement of the swing-body.
In testimony whereof I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WALTON W. BENBURY. Witnesses:
