The amusement ride for children has an open frame and a swinging passenger carriage suspended from a crossbar carried by two trolleys mounted in parallel tracks on the roof of the open frame. The passenger carriage has an upper platform rotatably mounted on a base platform, rotation of the upper platform being controlled manually by the passenger through rotation of a wheel mounted on a column having an end journaled into a bearing mounted in the base platform. A reversible motor is mounted on the roof frame, the shaft of the motor being connected to the crossbar by a crank and connecting rod to control translational movement of the trolleys, causing the passenger carriage to swing forward and backward. The combination of translational movement and swinging movement of the carriage with rotational movement of the upper platform provides a uniquely thrilling sensation for a child seated on the passenger carriage.

A playground rocker provides a rigid platform with lateral side edges suspended from side rails extending along the lateral side edges of the rigid platform. The rigid platform is suspended using broad flexible belts extending along substantially full lengths of the lateral side edges of the platform with the upper edges of the belts wrapped around the side rails and lower edges attached or wrapped along the lateral side edges of the platform. The broad flexible belts allow the rigid platform to sway side to side in a direction generally perpendicular to the side rails.

A swingset has a swingset frame. A horizontal member has a first horizontal section, and a second horizontal section. The first horizontal section has a swaged connection to the second horizontal section. The first horizontal section and the second horizontal section are formed of tube metal. A first horizontal section swaged portion fits within the second horizontal section. A pair of first legs support the first horizontal section, and a pair of second legs support the second horizontal section. The pair of first legs engage to a pair of first leg sockets formed on the first horizontal section. The pair of second legs engage to second leg sockets formed on the second horizontal section. A swing is suspended from the horizontal member. A lower tension bracket is mounted on a lower wall of the first horizontal section.

The present invention is an adjustable lounge garden swing having a fixed support structure and a seat support pivotally suspended from the support structure on a single pivot axis to provide a pendular movement when in motion. At least one lounge seat is pivotally coupled to the support structure where the lounge seat has a seating portion and a backrest portion that are fixed relative to one another but adjustable relative to the seat support to adjust the reclination angle of lounge seat. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lounge seat for a garden swing that has an adjustable reclination angle relative to the seat support and is positionable at a selected reclination angle through a reclination adjustor.
