Abstract

Abstract A light-weight toy swing carrying case having hinged covers which are positionable from their closed location to an open placement where they serve as counterbalances and maintain the upright swing stable preventing it from tipping during swing motion. The swing case is a container for the swing and any toy figure seated therein and may be conveniently carried by a handle stored in place by stacking.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A conveniently conveyable toy swing having effective placement stability when in use comprising: a frame capable of placement in a substantially upright position having parallel spaced apart side support members and a base, swing means mounted between the side support members for pendulation in an arc lying in a plane substantially parallel to the side support members, and counterbalance means movably secured to the base in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the arc for at least partially offsetting frame oscillations occurring during pendulation of the swing means to a degree sufficient to provide stability to the toy swing preventing it from tipping over during normal swing usage said counterbalance means comprising cover means hingedly mounted on the base for permitting pivotal movement, relative to the base, from a position where it functions as counterbalance to a position where it is complementary adjacent to the side support and forms therein a counterbalance.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 154 words
A conveniently conveyable toy swing having effective placement stability when in use comprising: a frame capable of placement in a substantially upright position having parallel spaced apart side support members and a base, swing means mounted between the side support members for pendulation in an arc lying in a plane substantially parallel to the side support members, and counterbalance means movably secured to the base in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the arc for at least partially offsetting frame oscillations occurring during pendulation of the swing means to a degree sufficient to provide stability to the toy swing preventing it from tipping over during normal swing usage said counterbalance means comprising cover means hingedly mounted on the base for permitting pivotal movement, relative to the base, from a position where it functions as counterbalance to a position where it is complementary adjacent to the side support and forms therein a counterbalance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
A conveniently conveyable toy swing having effective placement stability when in use, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover means includes two covers for completely encasing the swing means in a closed container when the covers are positioned complementary adjacent to the side support members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 40 words
A conveniently conveyable toy swing having effective placement stability when in use, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the frame further includes a cross member handle means positioned between the side support members for carrying the toy swing and case.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 176 words
A doll-like object toy swing carrying container comprising: an open frame having: a base for placement on a surface to position the toy in a substantially upright position, parallel spaced apart side support members joined to the base, and a cross member handle means joining the side support members at a location remote from the base; swing means mounted between the side support members for pendulation in an arc lying in a plane substantially parallel to the side support member, the swing means being shaped to receive and securely hold during pendulation a doll-like object; cover-like enclosure means hingedly secured to the base, the enclosure means being positionable to a first position complementary adjacent the open frame to form therewith a closed container encasing the swing means within, the enclosure means being positionable to a second position substantially perpendicular to the frame for at least partially offsetting frame oscillations occurring during pendulation of the swing means to a degree sufficient to provide stability to the toy swing preventing it from tipping over during normal swing usage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 176 words
A doll-like object toy swing carrying container comprising: an open frame having: a base for placement on a surface to position the toy in a substantially upright position, parallel spaced apart side support members joined to the base, and a cross member handle means joining the side support members at a location remote from the base; swing means mounted between the side support members for pendulation in an arc lying in a plane substantially parallel to the side support member, the swing means being shaped to receive and securely hold during pendulation a doll-like object; cover-like enclosure means hingedly secured to the base, the enclosure means being positionable to a first position complementary adjacent the open frame to form therewith a closed container encasing the swing means within, the enclosure means being positionable to a second position substantially perpendicular to the frame for at least partially offsetting frame oscillations occurring during pendulation of the swing means to a degree sufficient to provide stability to the toy swing preventing it from tipping over during normal swing usage.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 43 words
A doll-like object toy swIng carrying container, as claimed in claim 4, wherein the frame base has dependent therefrom channel-shaped members formed to receive therein the handle means of an adjacently position similar carrying container to provide convenient stackability of a plural thereof.
