Abstract:
1. A children's swing having a child support configured to move between at least two orientations, said swing comprising: a swing frame; at least one swing arm, wherein said at least one swing arm is a single swing arm and wherein a rotating end of said swing arm is rotatably connected to said swing frame at a rotation point and said swing arm is configured to reciprocate about said rotation point along a swing path; a child support configured for receiving and supporting a child; and a repositioning mechanism operatively connected to said swing arm and said child support; wherein said repositioning mechanism is configured to selectively secure said child support in at least a first orientation and a second orientation; wherein, when positioned in said first orientation and at rest, said child support faces a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of said swing path, a target location on said child support is positioned in alignment with a vertical plane that is perpendicular to said swing path and that extends through said rotation point, said target location on said child support is positioned at a first longitudinal distance from said rotation point, and said target position on said child support is aligned with said swing arm; and wherein, when positioned in said second orientation and at rest, said child support faces a direction substantially parallel to the direction of said swing path, said target location on said child support is positioned in alignment with said vertical plane, said target location on said child support is positioned at a second longitudinal distance from said pivot point, said second longitudinal distance being less than said first longitudinal distance, and said target position on said child support is aligned with said swing arm and with said vertical plane.
