Benefits of technology

[0007] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an infant swing apparatus that can avoid forced change in the line-of-vision of an infant seated thereon.

Problems solved by technology

If the amplitude of oscillation is large, an infant seated on the infant carrier will feel uncomfortable since the line-of-vision of the infant reciprocates between upward and downward directions.
Moreover, since oscillation of the infant carrier is limited to a single direction, i.e., a front-rear direction, the infant easily becomes bored after a period of use in view of monotonous oscillating movement of the infant carrier.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the preferred embodiment of an infant swing apparatus according to the present invention is shown to be adapted to stand on a surface, such as the ground, and is provided for sitting of an infant thereon.

[0020] The infant swing apparatus comprises a support unit 1, a swing member 2, and a seat unit 3.

[0021] The support unit 1 is adapted for standing on the surface. In this embodiment, the support unit 1 includes a pair of left and right support members 12, 11 spaced apart from each other. Each of the support members 11, 12 is arch shaped and has front and rear portions that rest on the surface. Moreover, the support unit 1 further includes a pair of connecting rods 13, each of which is disposed parallel to the surface and interconnects the front portions and the rear portions of the support members 11, 12, respectively.

[0022] The swing member 2 includes a carrier 21 and a link unit connected pivotally to the support unit 1 and the carrier 21....

Abstract

An infant swing apparatus includes a support unit, a swing member and a seat unit. The support unit is adapted for standing on a surface. The swing member includes a carrier and a link unit connected pivotally to the support unit and the carrier such that the carrier is swingable relative to the support unit and such that an angle of the carrier relative to a horizontal plane is maintained while the carrier swings relative to the support unit. The seat unit is mounted on the carrier for movement therewith relative to the support unit.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority of Chinese application no. 200520107377.3, filed on May 24, 2005. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The invention relates to a swing apparatus, more particularly to an infant swing apparatus that is comfortable for an infant seated thereon and that permits swinging of the infant in different directions. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] In U.S. Pat. No. 4,324,432, there is disclosed an infant carrier that has a handle which can be detachably coupled to a hanger on a swing. The handle is U-shaped and is pivotably connected at its free ends to a carrier shell body by a latch means so that the handle can be latched in different angular positions. [0006] In use, the handle latched to the carrier shell body is coupled to the hanger, and oscillation of the hanger is transmitted to the handle so as to oscillate the infant carrier. If the amplitude of oscillation is...
