Abstract

A swingset frame shade has a canopy top. The canopy top is bounded by and has a canopy front support, a canopy rear support, a canopy right upper support, and a canopy left upper support. A right panel is connected to the canopy top at a canopy right upper support. A extends canopy right front support extending downwardly from the canopy right upper support and a canopy right rear support extends downwardly from the canopy right upper support. The canopy right front support and the canopy right rear support join together at a right lower tip. A left panel connects to the canopy top at a canopy left upper support. A canopy left front support extends downwardly from the canopy left upper support and a canopy left rear support extends downwardly from the canopy left upper support.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A swingset frame shade comprising:
a. a canopy top, wherein the canopy top is bounded by and has a canopy front support, a canopy rear support, a canopy right upper support, and a canopy left upper support;
b. a right panel connected to the canopy top at the canopy right upper support;
c. a canopy right front support extending downwardly from the canopy right upper support and a canopy right rear support extending downwardly from the canopy right upper support, wherein the canopy right front support and the canopy right rear support join together at a right lower tip;
d. a left panel connected to the canopy top at the canopy left upper support;
e. a canopy left front support extending downwardly from the canopy left upper support and a canopy left rear support extending downwardly from the canopy left upper support, wherein the canopy left front support and the canopy left rear support join at a left lower tip; and
f. a canopy left front line and a canopy left rear line, wherein the canopy left front line is connected to a left front canopy corner, wherein the canopy left front support connects to the canopy left upper support, wherein the canopy left rear line is connected to a left rear canopy corner where the canopy left upper support is connected to the canopy left rear support.

2. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the right panel is formed in a right panel triangular shape, wherein the canopy right front support, the canopy right rear support, and the canopy right upper support are formed as flexible rods arranged along edges of the right panel triangular shape, wherein the right lower tip, a right front canopy corner, and a right rear canopy corner form vertices of the right panel triangular shape.

3. The swingset frame shade of claim 2 , wherein the right front canopy corner is connected to a canopy right front line, wherein the right rear canopy corner is connected to a canopy right rear line.

4. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the left panel is formed in a left panel triangular shape, wherein the canopy left front support, the canopy right left support, and the canopy left upper support are formed as flexible rods arranged along edges of the left panel triangular shape, wherein the left lower tip, the left front canopy corner, and the left rear canopy corner form vertices of the left panel triangular shape.

5. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the canopy top has a top right sleeve receiving the canopy right upper support, and wherein the canopy top has a top left sleeve receiving the canopy left upper support.

6. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the canopy right upper support is retained between a front right pocket formed at a right front canopy corner and a rear right pocket formed at a right rear canopy corner.

7. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the canopy left upper support is retained between a front left pocket formed at the left front canopy corner and a rear left pocket formed at the left rear canopy corner.

8. The swingset frame shade of claim 1 , wherein the canopy top with the right panel and the left panel is mounted to a swingset frame, wherein the swingset frame further includes:
a. a top horizontal frame support, wherein the top horizontal frame support has a left apex connection and a right apex connection;
b. a front left diagonal support, and a rear left diagonal support, wherein the front left diagonal support and the rear left diagonal support connect together at the left apex connection;
c. a front right diagonal support and a rear right diagonal support, wherein the front right diagonal support and the rear right diagonal support connect together at the right apex connection;
d. a right horizontal support connecting between the front right diagonal support and the rear right diagonal support; and
e. a left horizontal support, wherein the left horizontal support connects between the front left diagnosed support and the rear left diagonal support.

9. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the right panel is formed in a right panel triangular shape, wherein the canopy right front support, the canopy right rear support, and the canopy right upper support are formed as flexible rods arranged along edges of the right panel triangular shape, wherein the right lower tip, a right front canopy corner, and a right rear canopy corner form vertices of the right panel triangular shape.

10. The swingset frame shade of claim 9 , wherein the right front canopy corner is connected to a canopy right front line, wherein the right rear canopy corner is connected to a canopy right rear line.

11. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the left panel is formed in a left panel triangular shape, wherein the canopy left front support, the canopy right left support, and the canopy left upper support are formed as flexible rods arranged along edges of the left panel triangular shape, wherein the left lower tip, the left front canopy corner, and the left rear canopy corner form vertices of the left panel triangular shape.

12. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the canopy top has a top right sleeve receiving the canopy right upper support, and wherein the canopy top has a top left sleeve receiving the canopy left upper support.

13. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the canopy right upper support is retained between a front right pocket formed at a right front canopy corner and a rear right pocket formed at a right rear canopy corner.

14. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the canopy left upper support is retained between a front left pocket formed at the left front canopy corner and a rear left pocket formed at the left rear canopy corner.

15. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the canopy right upper support and the canopy left upper support are formed as telescopic rods.

16. The swingset frame shade of claim 8 , wherein the canopy left front line, the canopy left rear line, a canopy right front line, and a canopy right rear line are formed as rods.
