Safe way to place a baby swing
Many children dream of having a home swing. And parents seem ready to buy this funny toy, but because they don’t know where to place it, they still don’t dare to make their childhood dream come true. But a swing is not just fun, but a sea of positive emotions for your child. Let's consider a simple, inexpensive and reliable method of installing a children's home toy.
Where will we place it?
If the door hatch is installed correctly, then it will be a reliable support that will fit perfectly into the interior of the room.
To achieve maximum amplitude on a swing, it is enough to have a distance between the swing and the furniture of at least 1.2 meters. Therefore, it is necessary to select from the possible doorways the one that will provide the specified size.
Tools and materials.
For installation you will need:
- metal anchor ring with screw thread 8 mm in diameter, 80 mm long, 2 pieces;
- carabiner with fixation of a rope 60 mm long - 2 pieces;
- a rope for mountaineering that can withstand dynamic loads with a diameter of 8 mm - 5 meters;
- drill with a diameter of 4 - 5 mm;
- washers with an internal diameter of 8 - 10 mm and an external diameter of 20 mm - 4 pcs.;
- drill.
Assembly sequence.
On the selected top jumper of the tray, the center is marked along its length and width. A 200 mm long segment (total size 400 mm) is laid from it to the right and left sides. At the extreme points of the line, holes with a diameter of 4 mm are drilled to a depth of 25 mm. If the hole is made of durable rocks, then it is drilled with a 5 mm drill. Rings with an anchor are screwed into the resulting holes to the same depth within the range of 25 - 35 mm. In the final position, the rings are placed parallel to each other with holes.
We decide at what height the swing will be installed. Typically this value is 1.2 - 1.4 m. 2 slings with dimensions twice the set height are cut from the rope. The end of the rope is inserted into the mounting hole. A washer is placed on it, and the outer part is fixed with a knot.
This is how the remaining ends of the rope are secured. A carabiner is inserted onto the fixed left and right sling.
To avoid distortion of the system, a knot is made in the upper part of the sling, which will rest against the carabiner from the back of the toy.
The toy is assembled. Now to operate it, it is enough to fix the carabiners in the rings of the shotgun. Advantage of the provided method:
- quickly and easily assembles into working position;
- the structure has three degrees of freedom (moves in the longitudinal, lateral and circular directions);
- easy to use.
Flaws:
- as a result of friction of the moving metal parts of the ring and carabiner, a squeaking sound is produced (with periodic lubrication of the rubbing units, this notice disappears).
