Title: Loop-O-Swing

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention incorporates support post and bars for a special swing. 
     2. Description of the prior Art 
     Swings have been in use I&#39;m sure, since, man has felt the fast breeze over his face, or felt the thrill of a sudden fall. 
     There has been many great swings built to satisfy this desire, too many to try to name a few. This invention I believe will accomplish these feelings and challenge the user, young and old to safely defy The Laws of Gravity, exercise his/her body and at the same time have a &#34;barrel&#34; of fun. 
    
    
     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING 
     FIG. #1 Drawing displays its prospectives and characters of construction, its unbelievable abilities to allow its rider (swinger) to use. 
     FIG. #2 Allows one to see its profile of construction and assembly. 
     FIG. #3 Displays in detail the unique feature of the double swivel with lock eyes. 
     FIG. #4 Displays an action view. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     In making references of the swing, use of FIGS. #1 and #2 combined will be sited, as both figures, wherein like numerals refer to same parts. Also FIGS. #3 and #4 in like manner. 
     The support post #2 secured at top by strap plates #11 fixed with leg bolts #12, securing horizontal support bar #10, thus #10 horizontal bar supports #8 vertical continuous upright bar #8 being attached to solid support bar #10 by #13 block bearing and/or sleeve bearings for an axis or pivot point. Characterized also is #8 upright bars including at aproximately 10&#34; or hip level up from seat #17 is the &#34;unique&#34; #7 double eye attachment with adjustable swivel lock as per FIG. #3 and #4 respectively. 
     The two upright bars #8 (lower and upper parts) are attached together by the fixed eyes #7 incorporating #14 stops and #15 as in FIGS. #3 and #4 threaded studs in relation with #16 threaded nuts and sockets #16 as in FIGS. #3 and #4 allowing the swinger (rider) to have the same principle advantage as that with a chain swing--the Flex (push and/or pump) advantage, unlike that of U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,489 with straight up right bars, solid top to bottom, to which this patent incorporates a hand crank, for a second party to assist the swinger (rider) to which the swinger (rider) could not accomplish the 360° complete loop over, using the upright solid bars as in the U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,489 without the aid of the second party--cranking on the horizontal bar assisting in the back and forth motion, until the force-momentum is gained enough until the 360° loop over is accomplished. 
     Unlike my &#34;Loop-O-Swing&#34; design it includes as before outlined #7 in FIGS. #3 and #4 double swivel eyes with adjustable locks or stops as in FIGS. #3 and #4 to give the swinger (rider) the ability to accomplish the 360° loop. 
     In FIG. #1 upright bars #8 at its prospective lower end is threaded and with attachments of #18 nuts, the seat #17 is secured along with the safety attachments #5 and #6 belts. 
     The seat #17 in FIG. #1 is drilled making a hole the size of the diameter of the upright bars and a part spacing the width equal to that of the #8 upright bars. Also the #8 upright bars in the FIG. #1 illustration incorporates a plate #9 in gauge thickness, enough to stabilize together the two upright bars #8 to prevent any twisting as would be the case of an ordinary chain swing. 
     The #4 member in FIG. #2 attaches and secures the pyramid upright supports #2 in FIG. #1 in FIG. #2, together to make a solid and safe swing. To ensure a safe and enjoyable swing #1 anchorments in FIG. #1 attach ##2 in FIG. #1 and #2 in FIG. #2 rigidly to the ground.
