SWING SPRING RIDER Swing spring rider, which is designed for the children to play in places like fun fairs, kinder gardens, shopping malls, gardens etc., is a mechanical kind of toy and able to oscillate different directions besides spinning around itself. The swing spring rider has a kind of mechanism formed on a body of figures of different animals and vehicles like cars, motorcycles etc. with the roller (20) or only the axial compression roller (8,9) which can bear composite loads of axial or radial forces, where it is able to turn on either directions, being mounted on a coil (14) or leaf spring (21) that makes it spin around itself, with metal sheet (7,11) which houses the roller and the shaft (5) which is fixed to the metal sheet and a roller (3) which stabilizes the swing spring rider in the center. Existing spring riders are located on a coil spring and only enable oscillating to different directions but not spinning around itself. These spring riders are used with figures of different animals and vehicles like cars, motorcycles etc. from plastic, fiberglass or other composite materials and composed of the handles that the child holds (15) or steps on.
The parts in the figures are numbered one by one where the equivalents of these numbers are given below: It is also possible to use the swing spring rider with a component without roller. The swing spring rider mechanism which is formed of plastic derivative materials such as Teflon, derlin, polyethylene, polyamide, cast polyamide, is composed of bushing or flanged bushing (23) connecting the spring, that the shaft passes from the middle of it and the figure to each other. the bushing (23) which gets in to the screwed shaft (18) fixed to the spring, holds the figure (16), where the bushing placed between the spring and the figure ensures the spring rider to swing if a force is applied. The swing spring rider presents a more entertaining game facility in terms of combining two different moves in a single structure. With the force applied by the child, the spring rider provides the chance to not only move forward and backward but also to spin around itself, in other words the swing spring rider presents a panoramic ride opportunity to the children, who can see every direction at the same time. The fact that the swing spring rider has a mechanical setup is seen as an advantage. In some of the existing toys; these toys are not described as spring riders but more as toys operated by tokens or carousels that some animal figures located one after the other are spinning around themselves and these play groups ensures the swing move to the toy by some kind of motors, reducers and some electrical components. These types of toys are usually brought into public use with pay. However in the case of swing spring rider, there is not any electrical component or an instrument such as motor and it is installed on e mechanical structure and the spinning move is realized by using a physical power completely. Of course the breakdown of these toys is possible but when the swing spring riders re compared with the electronic toys; a breakdown is a lower possibility and even if they breakdown, the maintenance and the repair of them are easier and cheaper. The spring riders are usually alone and fixed to the ground with an anchorage (4) but also the animal figured toys without springs also exist. These toys are placed steady on a swing platform in groups of 3 and 5 and do not have the oscillation move. However the swing spring riders are mounted to the ground alone and besides their oscillation move, they have the feature of spinning around themselves. It should be born in mind that the swing spring riders have an important place in the physical development of the children. Namely, the fact that when the child on the swing spring, is oscillating forward and backward and at the same time trying to swing, he/she is forced to spend more effort therefore with the second force he/she is trying to apply to the spring rider makes him develop much more in physical aspect.
