Abstract
A protective cover assembly is particularly adapted for a play gym having a horizontal beam member (12), a hanger bracket (15) supported from the beam member (12) and a pair of hanger bars (13 and 14) pivotally depending from the hanger bracket (15) for swinging motion through an angular extent. The protective cover assembly (10) itself utilizes a pair of mirror-image cover caps (55), each of which include a concavo-convex wall (60) that has an outer circumference and a central portion. A collar (63) extends through the central portion of the concavo-convex wall (60), and a peripheral wall (61) is presented from the outer circumference of the concavo-convex wall (60). The peripheral wall (61) is recessed (at 62) along a predetermined circumferential extent. Fasteners (69 and 71) secure the mirror-image caps (55) together with the peripheral walls (61) being disposed in abutment, the collars (63) being axially aligned and the recesses (62) defining a slot (75) of sufficient axial dimension as well as of sufficient, predetermined, circumferential dimension to receive the hanger bars (13 and 14). Because of the aforesaid structural arrangement, the protective cover assembly (10) will rotate on the horizontal beam member (12) in response to the swinging movement of the hanger bars (13 and 14).
