The present invention relates to a swing or hanging seat for erotic purposes, and more specifically to a free-standing swing.
Devices known as “sex swings” are well-known in the prior art. Simply put, a sex swing is a device that lifts and suspends one partner off the ground while the other partner(s) have the ability to move around the suspended partner freely in order to engage in sex. These swings provide flexibility and variety for sexual activity.
Many of the prior art sex swings have one or more hooks that must be installed in the ceiling. This requires a permanent installation and is difficult to install. Failure to install correctly in the ceiling (i.e., hit the beam right in the middle) could be disastrous. Some sex swings are free-standing, but they are clunky, hard to use, and require a partner, and are typically more expensive than the swings that mount to the ceiling.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,971,480, Maschke, entitled, “Spinning and/or Swinging, Hanging Seat for Erotic Purposes, is such a device for a sex swing that is mounted to the ceiling. Like most sex swings in the prior art, there is one connection point at the top, thus requiring an additional piece to separate the two sides of the seat. This can cause problems.
Despite the abundance of sex swings, there is a shortage of devices of apparatuses that provide a free-standing sex swing that is easy to use, easy to set-up, easy to take down and store, collapsible, can be used with or without a partner, modular, and inexpensive. The prior art invention overcomes the shortcoming contained in the prior art by providing a such a device that provides all of those features.
Certain embodiments of the invention have other steps or elements in addition to or in place of those mentioned above. The steps or element will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description when taken with reference to the accompanying figures.
None of the prior art fully addresses the problems resolved by the present invention. The present invention overcomes these limitations contained in the prior art by providing a child restraint apparatus for children that is sturdy, reliable, easy to use, safe, and inexpensive.
The best mode for carrying out the invention will be described herein. The following embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the invention. It is to be understood that other embodiments would be evident based on the present disclosure, and that system, process, or mechanical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In the following description, numerous specific details are given to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it will be apparent that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. To avoid obscuring the present invention, some well-known system configurations, and process steps are not disclosed in detail. The figures illustrating embodiments of the system are semi-diagrammatic and not to scale and, particularly, some of the dimensions are for the clarity of presentation and are shown exaggerated in the drawing figures.
Alternate embodiments have been included throughout, and the order of such are not intended to have any other significance or provide limitations for the present invention.
For expository purposes, the term “horizontal” as used herein is defined as a plane parallel to the plane or surface of the present apparatus, regardless of its orientation. The term “vertical” refers to a direction perpendicular to the horizontal as just defined. Terms, such as “above”, “below”, “bottom”, “top”, “side”, “higher”, “lower”, “upper”, “over”, and “under”, are defined with respect to the horizontal plane, as shown in the figures. The term “on” means that there is direct contact among elements.
