Abstract
A powered rocker system assemble is disclosed that includes a motorized rocking mechanism with a rotational motor drive and to an automatic transmission assemble configured to automatically force the balance the rotational motion cycle with the newly balanced position of the occupied chair before switching from manual to powered rocking and a device referred to as a powered pawl controller which is configured to allow the rocking chair to rock while in the recline position with the leg rest extended.
Claims15
A powered rocker system assemble comprises:
- a motorized rocking mechanism that is releasable secure to the frame of the rocking chair;
- a method to provide unrestricted movement for manual rocking without any restrictions from the motorized rocking mechanism and without disconnecting the powered rocker system assemble from the frame of the chair;
- and
- a method for the motor to balance the rotational motion cycle and the rotational motor drive to balance the occupied chair to produce a combined balance for the powered rocker system assemble.

An automatic transmission assemble comprises:
- a powered device with a method to automatically adjust to multiple balanced position of an occupied rocking chair;
- a method to control the switching from manual to powered rocking to lock the position of the combined balance of the chair and motor, while eliminating unnecessary continual electrical use to reduce operating cost and prevent heat build up;
- and
- a method to control the switching from powered to manual rocking, while eliminating unnecessary continual electrical use.
1 more element
A powered pawl controller comprises:
- a powered device with a method of controlling the unlatching of the pawl and ratchet latching mechanism of the chair, without using electrical power to reduce operating cost and prevent heat build up and allows powered and manual rocking with the leg rest extended;
- and
- a method of controlling the latching of the pawl and ratchet latching mechanism of the chair while simultaneously shutting off the motorized rocking mechanism and automatic transmission assemble, to eliminate any unnecessary continual electrical power use and prevent any damage to the motor and or rotational motor drive, while the pawl is latched.
