DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As seen in the first figure, FIG. 1, the present invention has a shade panel flexible member 13 supported in a horizontal position. A framework supports the shade panel flexible member 13. The shade panel flexible member can be semirigid or a fabric sheet. Preferably, it is configured for outdoor use such as by providing ultraviolet resistance in nylon fabric fibers.

The shade 30 has a shade upper panel 31 which can be formed as a shade panel flexible member 13 or can be formed as a fabric panel that is not semirigid. The shade 30 further includes a shade right side panel 32 and a shade left side panel 33 flanking the right and left sides of the shade 30. At the right side of the shade upper panel 31, the shade right side panel 32 bends downward at a shade right bend 34 and at the left side of the shade upper panel 31, the shade left side panel 33 bends downward at a shade left bend 35. The shade right side panel 32 has a shade right arc 36 at a lower edge of the shade right side panel 32 and the shade left side panel 33 has a shade left arc 37 at a lower edge of the shade left side panel 33. The arc shape forms a pair of rear tips and a pair of front tips. The pair of front tips includes a shade right side panel front tip 46 and a shade left side panel front tip 47.

The shade 30 and seat structure can be supported by a main horizontal beam 21 formed as a tubular metal pipe. A pair of brackets such as a beam bracket 22 can be connected to a pair of horizontal beams such as horizontal extension beam 25 using connectors such as bolts, here namely the beam bracket bolt 23. The main horizontal beam 21 preferably has a rounded beam top 24.

A total of four extension beam bolts 26 are backed by extension beam washers 27 to connect them to the horizontal extension beams 25. The extension beam bolts 26 can be connected to extension beam connectors 29 at the pair of ends of the pair of extension beams. At each end of the pair of ends of the pair of extension beams, a total of four extension beam caps 28 can cover the ends. The extension beam caps 28 can be made of plastic rectangular members that friction fit into the open metal rectangular tubes of the extension beams.

The swing seat 50 is connected to the support structure and suspended from ends of the extension beams at chain suspension members. The swing seat 50 has a swing seat rim 51, a fabric seat body 52, a fabric body opening 53, and a seat hollow 54. The seat hollow 54 holds users or articles within it. The seat rim 51 can be formed of a rigid tubular metal structure and the fabric body opening 53 can be formed at regular intervals for allowing attachment of the vertical supports 70. The vertical supports 70 act as vertical suspension members to maintain the position of the rigid tubular metal structure of the seat rim 51. The vertical supports 70 can be formed as chains achieved in a polyethylene sleeve. The fabric seat body 52 is also preferably ultraviolet stabilized and can be made of the same color and material as the shade 30. The shade 30 is positioned over the swing seat 50.

As seen in the second figure, FIG. 2, the suspension frame includes the main horizontal beam 21, the beam bracket 22, the rounded beam top 24, the horizontal extension beam 25, the extension beam bolt 26, the extension beam washer 27 and the extension beam cap 28. The shade 30 includes the shade upper panel 31, the shade right side panel 32, the shade left side panel 33, the shade right bend 34, and the shade left bend 35. The shade structure is connected at four locations including a right front upper strap 42, a left front upper strap 43, a right front lower strap 44, a left front lower strap 45, a shade right side panel front tip 46, and a shade left side panel front tip 47. The swing seat 50 includes a swing seat rim 51, fabric seat body 52, a rear seat connector pair and a front seat connector pair 55.

The shade right bend 34 and the shade left bend can be greater than 90° because each of the right front upper strap 42, right front lower strap 44, right rear upper strap 48, and right rear lower strap 49 connect the vertical supports to the shade 30. The vertical supports preferably are angled inwardly. The front seat connector pair 55 and the rear seat connector pair 56 are preferably formed as links that connect to the vertical supports.

As seen in the fourth figure, FIG. 4, the shade panel flexible member 13 can be formed as a generally rectangular sheet. As seen in the fifth figure, the vertical supports 70 include a front right vertical support 71, a front left vertical support 72, a rear right vertical support 73, and a rear left vertical support 74.

As seen in FIG. 6, the shade panel 14 can be mounted on a shade panel flexible member 13. The shade panel flexible member 13 connects to and extends from the front right vertical support 71 and the front left vertical support 72. The shade panel flexible member 13 connects to the vertical supports at the shade panel connector 12. The shade panel flexible members 13 can be formed as flexible tubes which are analogous to the extension beams. The extension beams are generally rigid whereas the shade panel flexible members 13 are flexible. The shade panel flexible members 13 can have a flexible member cap 11 to cover the shade panel flexible member tips. The shade panel 14 can extend between the pair of vertical support members.

As seen in FIG. 7, the shade panel connector 12 can be formed as a bracketed or clamp connection. The shade panel connector 12 is attached to the shade panel 14 at a shade panel connector link 17. The shade panel connector 12 can be formed with a shade panel connector clamp 15 that is biased into a closed position at a shade panel spring 16. The shade panel connector linkage 17 can be formed as a snap hook.

As seen in FIG. 8, the vertical supports 70 can be arranged into four generally vertical chain assemblies which include a front right support 61, a front left support 62, a rear right support 63, a rear left support 64 all covered by support sheathing 65. Alternatively, the shade panel flexible member 13 can be attached to an upper surface of the extension beams. The extension beam connector 29 can be made as a circular or triangular member. Additionally, an extension beam connector 29 can be connected to a support by using a snap hook 66 that connects to chain linkage 67. A locking link connector 68 can connect a section of chain linkage 67 to another section of chain linkage 67.
