Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a children's motion device configured to oscillate a child support about a substantially upright axis of rotation. In various embodiments, the portion of the child support configured for supporting the head of a child positioned therein is configured to remain substantially aligned with the axis of rotation as the child support oscillates.
Claims18
A children's motion device comprising:
- a frame configured to rest on a support surface;
- and
- a child support operatively connected to the frame and configured for oscillating about a substantially upright axis of rotation;
- wherein at least a portion of the child support is configured for supporting the head of a child positioned in the child support, and wherein the child support is operatively connected to the frame such that, as the child support oscillates about the axis of rotation, the portion of the child support configured for supporting the child's head remains substantially aligned with the axis of rotation.

A children's motion device comprising:
- a frame configured to rest on a support surface;
- at least one rotating arm rotatably connected to the frame and configured for oscillating about a substantially upright axis of rotation;
- a child support operatively connected to the rotating arm and configured for rotating with the rotating arm about the axis of rotation;
- and
- a drive system configured to oscillate the rotating arm and child support about the axis of rotation, the drive system comprising:
- a first magnetic component operatively connected to the frame;
- a second magnetic component operatively connected to the rotating arm, wherein at least one of the first and second magnetic components comprises an electromagnet;
- and
- a control circuit configured to generate an electrical signal that causes electric current to be supplied to the electromagnet thereby generating a magnetic force between the first magnetic component and second magnetic component that causes the child support to oscillate.
