Method Of Swinging On A Swing
(US 6,368,227)
View Patent
Traditional methods of swinging on a swing can lose their appeal with age and experience, or so says Steven Olson, whose patent boldly claims a new method of swinging on a swing. A user positioned on a standard swing suspended by two chains from a substantially horizontal tree branch induces *side to side* motion by pulling alternately on one chain and then the other. The patent helpfully notes that “[t]he user may even choose to produce a Tarzan-type yell while swinging in the manner described, which more accurately replicates swinging on vines in a dense jungle forest.” Remarkably, Mr. Olson didn’t claim this behavior. US 6,368,227 patent did not survive reexamination. But for a few glorious months, it had its place in the sun.
