ABSTRACT:
A swing support assembly for use between a pair of upright members of a door frame to support a swing or other piece of playground equipment. The support assembly includes an adjustable support bar which has first and second ends and can be adjusted to vary the distance between the first and second ends. The swing support assembly includes a pair of mounting brackets which are each mounted to an abutment strip on the upright members of the door frame. Each of the mounting brackets include a pair of attachment straps which engage both the bracket body and the abutment strip to securely hold the mounting bracket in place on the upright member of the door frame. The attachment straps contained on the bracket body are adjustable, such that the bracket body can be removably attached to the door frame. One of the mounting brackets includes an adjustable door stop member which is used to prevent the door from closing when the swing support assembly is being used. The door stop member is pivotable between an extended position and a storage position, such that when the door stop member is in the storage position, the door can be closed while the swing support assembly is still installed in the door frame. The mounting brackets of the swing support assembly are positioned adjacent to the abutment strip of the door frame such that the attachment straps and the support bar each provide an independent holding force to retain the mounting brackets in an operating position.
