DEFINITION

Classification: 472/20

Occupant support pivotally suspended from above:

(under subclass 19) Subject matter wherein the circuitous movement causing person is carried upon structure hung below an axial region about which it may swing.

(1) Note. The structure may be hung from a flaccid cable, rope, etc., or a rigid rod, bar, etc., in a swinging manner thus maintaining the person in a generally upright position due to the effects of gravity thereon. While the occupant support may swing radially outwardly under the influence of centrifugal action, it is not required to do so to be proper for this subclass.
