Abstract
A flexible vibrating mat for soothing a child includes a plurality of electric vibratory motors and a plurality of cylindrical motor casings. Each motor casing is associated with a single electric vibratory motor and is generally the same size as the associated electric vibratory motor. The mat additionally includes a controller. The controller is configured to selectively electrically couple the plurality of electric vibratory motors to an electric power supply. The mat further includes a flexible core coupled with the plurality of motor casings and a water-resistant cover covering the core, the plurality of motor casings, and the controller.
Claims20
A flexible vibrating mat for soothing a child, the mat comprising:
- a flexible core;
- a plurality of electric vibratory motors;
- a plurality of cylindrical motor housings, each motor housing being associated with a single one of the plurality of electric vibratory motors and being generally the same size as the associated electric vibratory motor, the plurality of cylindrical motor housings mounted to the flexible core in a manner that permits the flexible core to conform to a curved surface;
- a controller configured to selectively electrically couple the plurality of electric vibratory motors to an electric power supply;
- and
- a water-resistant cover covering the core, the plurality of motor housings, and the controller.
A flexible mat comprising:
- a flexible cushion layer;
- a plurality of vibration device assemblies coupled to the cushion layer, each vibration device assembly comprising an electric vibratory device enclosed within a cylindrical housing, each housing having a central axis, the central axes of the plurality of housings being generally parallel to facilitate rolling of the mat;
- a controller configured to selectively electrically couple the plurality of vibratory devices to a power supply;
- and
- wherein the mat has a neutral state in which the mat is generally planar and a deformed state in which the mat conforms to a curved surface.
A baby soothing mat comprising:
- a flexible core;
- a plurality of vibratory devices;
- a plurality of vibratory device housings coupled to the flexible core and associated with the plurality of vibratory devices, each of the plurality of housings retaining a respective one of the plurality of vibratory devices and being substantially the same size as the respective one of the plurality of vibratory devices;
- a controller configured to selectively electrically couple the plurality of vibratory devices to a power supply;
- and
- a flexible cover covering the flexible core and plurality of vibratory device housings, wherein the cover, core, and devices are rollable about two perpendicular axes.
