Abstract
A children's swing includes a rigid, upwardly curved seat which has a planar seating portion and side portions which extend generally perpendicular to the seating portion and define the opposite ends of the seat. A longitudinal channel is present in the underside of the seating portion and passages extend from the opposite ends of the channel to the opposite ends of the seat. A long chain of links extends into the passage at one end of the seat, along the channel and out the passage at the other end of the seat. Interferences are provided in the seat which interfere with the chain links to fix the position of the seat along the chain so that when the opposite ends of the chain are suspended from an overhead support, the seating portion of the seat remains horizontal when the swing is at rest.
