Abstract
A multi-directional rocking crib, having a base which pivots about a pivot member, a first member operatively associated with the pivot and a second member having at least one arm with a weight at the end thereof extending transversely to and connected with the first member, a motor to rotate the arm with the weight at the end thereof for tilting of the base or movement of the base as the first member rotates relative to the pivot to provide an undulating movement of the edge of each side of the base as the pivot rotates to move the base into and out of the different planes.
Claims21
A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a base portion having an outer perimeter including a pivot member projecting from said base portion about which said base portion pivots, said pivot member being displaced from said outer perimeter inwardly thereof;
- pivoting means associated with said pivot member for pivoting of said base portion, including a first member operatively associated with said pivot member and a second member including at least one arm extending transversely to and connected with said first member;
- adjustable means associated with said base portion for maintaining thereof in a stable rest position;
- means associated with said pivoting means for rotation thereof;
- and
- weighted means coupled with said pivoting means at a free end of said one arm for tilting of said base portion or movement of said base portion into different planes as said first member rotates relative to said pivot member to provide an undulating movement of the edge of each side of said base portion as said pivot member rotates to move said base portion into and out of said different planes.

A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a member having at least three sides for supporting an infant, said member having different size sides spaced from each other, each two adjacent sides of said member being joined together to form at least three corners, each two spaced corners of said at least three corners forming one set of two corners, at least one set of two corners being diagonally related to each other;
- and
- means for imparting an undulating movement to said member by raising one corner of said at least one set of two corners in a substantially vertical direction while lowering the other corner of said at least one set of two corners while commencing the raising of one corner of another set of two corners and lowering the other corner of said other set of two corners to impart said undulating movement to said member by sequentially having a first corner reach its maximum height while its diagonally opposite corner reaches its lowest height and corners intermediate said first corner and said its diagonally opposite corner reaching a position between said one corner and said its diagonally opposite corner;
- and
- adjustable means coupled with said member for maintenance thereof in a preselected position.

A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a base portion including a pivot member about which said base portion pivots;
- pivoting means associated with said pivot member for pivoting of said base, including a first member operatively associated with said pivot member and a second member including at least one arm extending transversely to and connected with said first member;
- means associated with said pivoting means for rotation thereof;
- and
- weighted means coupled with said pivoting means at a free end of said one arm for tilting of said base portion or movement of said base portion into different planes as said first member rotates relative to said pivot member to provide an undulating movement of the edge of each side of said base portion as said pivot member rotates to move said base portion into and out of said different planes;
- said pivoting means being a T-shaped member including a center leg forming said first member associated with said pivot member and a cross-bar forming a tee portion of said T-shaped member, and having first and second arms extending from said first member, and an individual weight coupled to a free end of each of said first and said second arms, said individuals weights being different from each other to provide for said undulating movement of the edge of each side of said base.

A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a member for supporting an infant, opposite portions of said member being diagonally related to each other and forming at least one set of two diagonally opposite portions;
- means for imparting an undulating motion to said member by raising one of said two opposite portions of at least one set of two opposite portions in a substantially vertical direction while lowering the other portion of said at least one set of two opposite portions and lowering said one corner of said at least one set of two corners while commencing the raising of one portion of another set of two opposite portions and lowering the other portion of said other set of two opposite portions to impart an undulating movement to said member;
- and
- means coupled with said member for maintenance thereof in a preselected position.
1 more element
A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a base portion having an outer perimeter including a pivot member projecting from said base portion about which said base portion pivots, said pivot member being displaced from said outer perimeter inwardly thereof;
- pivoting means associated with said pivot member for pivoting of said base portion, including a first member operatively associated with said pivot member and a second member including at least one arm extending transversely to and connected with said first member;
- a projection associated with one side of said outer perimeter and another side of said outer perimeter opposite to said one side, said projection being provided for preventing said one side thereof from being raised or lowered more than the amount said other side is raised or lowered;
- means associated with said pivoting means for rotation thereof;
- and
- weighted means coupled with said pivoting means at a free end of said one arm for tilting of said base portion or movement of said base portion into different planes as said first member rotates relative to said pivot member to provide an undulating movement of the edge of each side of said base portion as said pivot member rotates to move said base portion into and out of said different planes.

A multi-directional rocking crib, comprising:
- a base portion having an outer perimeter including a pivot member projecting from said base portion about which said base portion pivots, said pivot member being displaced from said outer perimeter inwardly thereof;
- pivoting means associated with said pivot member for pivoting of said base, including a T-shaped member comprising a center leg operatively associated with said pivot member and a cross-bar forming a tee portion of said T-shaped member, and first and second arms extending from said cross-bar;
- and
- an individual weight coupled to a free end of each of said first and second arms, said individual weights being different from each other for tilting of said base portion or movement of said base portion into different planes as said T-shaped member rotates relative to said pivot member to provide an undulating movement of the edge of each side of said base portion as said pivot member rotates to move said base portion into and out of said different planes.
