Abstract
An infant bed system having a base, a mattress with a top surface having a half-pipe indentation, the mattress is shaped and sized to be snugly placed atop the base, legs that extend downwardly from the base, and raised side walls that extend upwardly from the side wall of the base. A vibrating component in the base is adapted to provide vibrations to the mattress. A speaker produces womb sounds or heartbeat sounds. A control panel on the base allows for turning on and off of the system.
Claims15
An infant bed system (100) for providing comfort to an infant, said system (100) comprising:
- (a) a base (110) having a top surface (115), a side wall (111), and a bottom surface (116), wherein a lip (117) extends upwardly from the side wall (111) past the top surface (115);
- (b) a mattress (120) having a top surface (125) and a bottom surface (126), the mattress (120) is shaped and sized to be placed atop the top surface (115) of the base (110) snugly within the lip (117) of the base (110), wherein a half-pipe indentation (130) is disposed in the top surface (125) of the mattress (120), wherein either the top surface (125) or the bottom surface (126) faces the top surface (115) of the base (110);
- (c) a vibrating component (140) disposed in the base (110), the vibrating component (140) is adapted to provide vibrations to the mattress (120);
- (d) a speaker (142) and an digital-to-analog converter (144) each disposed in the base (110), the speaker (142) is operatively connected to the digital-to-analog converter (144);
- (e) a microprocessor (150) operatively connected to at least the digital-to-analog converter (144) and to a memory component (160), the memory component (160) is adapted to hold at least one sound file;
- and
- (f) a control panel (210) disposed on the base (110), the control panel (210) allows for turning on and off of the vibrating component (140) and activation of the speaker (142) whereby the microprocessor (150) sends an output signal to the digital-to-analog converter (144) to convert the sound file to an analog signal for the speaker (142).
