Abstract
A bearing fitting for attaching a swing device to the crossbar of a play gym includes an axle for mounting to the crossbar, a hook including a shank, a closed loop at one end of the shank encircling the axle and an open loop at the opposite end of the shank for engaging through an eye of the swinging device. A deformable resilient cover is engaged on the hook. The cover has a pair of closely spaced apart side walls, a top wall connecting the side walls, a hole in the top wall and a large bottom opening into the space between the walls. The cover is dimensioned for engagement on the hook so that the cover snugly surrounds the open loop of the hook with the hook shank extending out through the hole in the top wall.
