Definitions

  • This invention relates to a rocking device for rocking an article such as a babies cot, a perambulator or the like.
  • Young babies can be extremely difficult to soothe and parents often spend a great deal of time attempting to get a young baby to sleep.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a device which can be used for this purpose.
  • the present invention proposes a rocking device comprising a drive unit arranged to stand on a surface, a shoe member arranged to support part of an article to be rocked, coupling means joining the shoe member to the drive unit such as to allow relative movement therebetween, and the drive unit incorporating motor means which is arranged to reciprocably move the shoe member relative to the drive unit via said coupling means
  • Figure 1 is a general external view of a rocking device of the invention (referred to below as a rocker);
  • Figure 2 is a partially exploded version of Fig. 1;
  • Figure 3 is a side elevation of the rocker, in which the casing of the drive unit is. shown in transparent outline and part of the shoe is shown cut away;
  • Figure 4 is a plan view of part of the rocker as shown in Fig. 3.
  • Figure 5 is a general scrap view showning the coupling between the rotary drive derived from the motor and shoe support member of the rocker.
  • the rocker shown in the drawings comprises a drive unit 10, heavy enough to be supported without moving on a fixed surface such as the ground, together with a shoe 12 on which an element 14 is supported.
  • the element 14 as shown is a leg of a baby's cot, but it could equally well be a perambulator wheel or part of some other device in which a baby can sleep.
  • the shoe 12 has a flat support plate 16, which is surrounded on three sides by a generally U-shaped upstanding wall 17.
  • the plate 16 has a V-Shaped transverse groove 18 in which a perambulator wheel can rest, so that it does not tend to roll off.
  • the shoe has a transverse abutment web 20 formed with a through slot or recess 22.
  • the drive unit comprises a casing consisting of a body 24 and a removable cover 26, which is so profiled that, for storage and transport purposes, the shoe can be stacked neatly on top of the drive unit.
  • the casing body 24 carries a low voltage electric motor 28, the shaft of which carries a worm 30 driving a worm wheel 32, which is mounted on a horizontal rotatable shaft 34 carried in a sub-frame 36 secured to the body 24.
  • the shaft 34 carries a crank 38 with an eccentric pin element 40 on which a crosshead 42 is loosely fitted.
  • the crosshead 42 fits in a rearwardly facing transverse slot 44 formed in a shoe support block 46.
  • the latter has an upstanding lug 48 which fits in the slot 22 of the shoe, so that the shoe is removably supported on the block 46 with the web 20 lying on the horizontal upper surface 50 of the block 46, as can be seen in Fig. 3.
  • the block 46 itself has a vertical central hole 52 by which it is freely mounted on a vertical pin 54 carried by the casing body 24.
  • the motor 28 is powered by dry batteries 60, carried in the casing and connected to the motor through a variable timer, not shown, which is carried by the casing cover 26 and which is adjustable by means of a knob 62 so as to set a desired rocking time. This controls the speed, length of time during which the motor 28 is energised, and also incorporates an on/off switch.
  • the motor drives the crank 38 in continuous rotation, which is converted into up and down motion of the support block 46 by the pin 40 and cross head 42.
  • the shoe 12 is thus caused to angularly move up and down with a simple harmonic motion, gently rocking the baby in its cot or pram.
  • the speed of the motor can be adjusted by knob 62 so that the cyclic period of the rocking action can be made faster or slower as required.
  • the motor may be coupled with the shoe in such a way as to produce other forms of motion.
  • the shaft 34 may be coupled to a vertical lead screw carrying a transverse bar which is threaded to the latter and restrained from rotating with it, so that this bar is moved up and down at constant speed by the leadscrew, each end of its travel being detected by a microswitch which causes the direction of motion of the motor to be reversed.
  • the timer may also be arranged to interrupt rocking for predetermined periods, so that rocking takes place for a short time, followed by a stationary period, followed by another rocking period.
  • the power unit may be powered by the mains, the motor then being a low voltage motor supplied through a suitable transformer, or a mains voltage motor.

Abstract

Le dispositif décrit permet de bercer un objet tel qu'un couffin ou un landau. Il comporte un système d'entraînement (10) et, séparé de lui, un sabot (12) venant se placer sous le pied ou la roue de l'objet considéré. Le sabot (12) est doté d'une plaque de support (16) entourée sur trois côtés de parois verticales (17). Le système d'entraînement (10) comprend un moteur (28) qui fait effectuer des allers-retours à un bloc de support (46) par le biais d'un excentrique (40). Le bloc (46) supporte un replat (20) du sabot (12) de manière à soulever et abaisser ce dernier en l'inclinant, et il présente un ergot vertical de positionnement qui s'encastre dans un interstice (22) pratiqué dans le replat (20).
