Abstract
A children's swing comprises a generally rectangular strap-like seat having a flat resilient main body and a pair of tubes extending along the underside of said body adjacent to the longitudinal edges thereof. A pair of hangers project from the opposite ends of the tubes, each hanger having a pair of arms which diverge a distance comparable to the spacing of the pair of tubes and parallel end segments which extend from those arms an appreciable distance into the ends of the tubes. A pair of flexible inextensible connector segments are positioned in the pair of tubes and the opposite ends of the connector segments are attached to adjacent ones of the hanger end segments. The connector segments are shorter than the tubes so that these attachments are all recessed into the tubes and only small portions of the hangers project beyond the ends of the seat body, thereby minimizing the changes of the swing causing injury. A method of assembling the seat is also disclosed.
