Swing

Abstract

A swing in accordance with the invention has four side elements ( 2 ) and four connecting elements ( 3 ). The four side elements ( 2 ) and four connecting elements ( 3 ) are components of a frame ( 4 ). A plurality of interwoven band elements ( 5 ) is attached to the frame ( 4 ), which band elements form a bearing surface ( 7 ) inside the frame ( 4 ). The band elements ( 5 ) comprise fastening elements ( 6 ) on their two end sections which fastening elements can be connected to the side elements ( 2 ).

       3 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which fastening elements ( 6 ) of the band elements ( 5 ) are loops for receiving the side elements.  
   
   
       4 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 3 , in which the loops ( 6 ) are woven into the band elements ( 5 ).  
   
   
       5 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the frame ( 4 ) has eight side elements ( 2 ) and eight connecting elements ( 3 ).  
   
   
       6 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 5 , in which side elements ( 2 ) are tubes and in which at least one tube ( 2 ) is curved, forming a downwardly curved bearing surface ( 7 ).  
   
   
       7 . The swing ( 1 ) according to claims  1 , in which the frame ( 4 ) of the swing ( 1 ) can be suspended on four fastening devices ( 8 ) on four connecting elements ( 3 ).  
   
   
       8 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the connecting elements ( 3 ) are bent tube sections consisting of a lower ( 3   b ) and an upper ( 3   a ) half shell so that bordering side elements ( 2 ), whose outer diameters correspond to the inner diameters of the connecting elements ( 3 ), can be clamped between the upper ( 3   a ) and the lower ( 3   b ) half shell of a connecting element ( 3 ).  
   
   
       9 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 8 , in which the fastening devices ( 8 ) comprise screw elements that function at the same time as a clamping device for the lower ( 3   b ) and the upper ( 3   a ) half shell of the connecting elements ( 3 ).  
   
   
       10 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the connecting elements ( 3 ) and side elements ( 2 ) are manufactured from light metal, are weather-resistant and are surrounded with a damping material as a protection against bumps.  
   
   
       11 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the swing ( 1 ) is assembled in that a fourth side element ( 2 ) is run through the loops of the band elements only after the attaching of the band elements ( 5 ) to three of the side elements ( 2 ) and the interweaving of the band elements ( 5 ).  
   
   
       12 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the connecting elements are assembled after the attaching of the side elements ( 2 ) to the band elements ( 5 ) and after the weaving of the band elements ( 5 ).  
   
   
       13 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the swing ( 1 ) can be suspended in the form of a single-point-, two-point or multi-point suspension.  
   
   
       14 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the band elements ( 5 ) are connected by a contact means.  
   
   
       15 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , in which the connection between side elements and connecting elements is positive.  
   
   
       16 . The swing ( 1 ) according to  claim 15 , in which the side element is a tube that is widened out on its ends and the connecting element has a corresponding recess.  
   
   
       17 . A frame ( 4 ) with four side elements ( 2 ) and four connecting elements ( 3 ) and a bearing surface ( 7 ) with a plurality of interwoven band elements ( 5 ), which band elements ( 5 ) have fastening elements ( 6 ) on their two end sections which fastening elements can be connected to the side elements ( 2 ).
