Benefits of technology
[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel, useful and unobvious hammock system that can operate via a pendulum swing motion without effort by the user. Another object of the present invention is to provide a hammock system with simple construction, easy to use, easy to assemble, economically feasible, long lasting and relatively trouble free in operation.
[0010] A further object of the present invention is to design and configure a swing device that can produce a constant swing while providing an overall unit having minimal electrical components so as to provide for a device that will inherently reduce costly repairs.
Problems solved by technology
However, once an individual is situated in a lying position within a suspended hammock, it is almost impossible to cause the hammock to swing without the assistance of another person.

An automated hammock device and system is disclosed. This automated hammock device and system is designed and configured for supporting a hammock bed frame in a suspended configuration above the ground while allowing the accommodation of at least one motor and a plurality of arms for effectuating a continuous hands free swinging or rocking motion to the user lying in the hammock bed. An automated swinging device and a method of using this automated swinging device are also disclosed. This automated swinging device is designed and configured for coupling with an object in a suspended configuration above the ground and providing a driving force to allow the object for effectuating a continuous hands free swinging or rocking motion without effort by the user.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to hammocks and particularly to hammocks comprising automated swingable hammock bed portions and the automated swinging device providing the driving force for a hammock or the like. [0002] Hammocks are one of the least expensive, oldest, and most convenient devices for accommodating individuals in a reclining position. Traditionally, hammocks have been strung between trees, upright poles, and other convenient, relatively stable structures. Various hammock devices have been proposed that provide the necessary structure for suspending a hammock from its two ends so that it is maintained in a configuration where it swings freely above the ground. Of necessity such structures must be quite large since they must not only accommodate between their ends the fully extended hammock itself but also a reasonable length at either end of rope or chain to permit the hammock to assume a comfortable position and swing freely. [0003] Hammock ...
