Baby Rocker Glider

Abstract

A system and apparatus for gliding rocking chairs comprises an adult rocking chair, a gliding base, a bassinet, and a latching mechanism, where the chair is attached to the base and a bassinet is placed on eth base to transfer the rocking motion of said chair to the bassinet. A system and method is disclosed in which a bassinet is attached to the stool and the stool is further attached to the rocker. The rocking motion allows the bassinet to be rocked in a hands free manner by the person sitting in the chair. Because the bassinet is placed on the footstool, both the bassinet and rocking chair thereafter move as one unit. The rocker has complete control of the bassinet; by simply slowing or speeding up their own rocking, the person in the rocker can control the rocking of the bassinet, hands free. Furthermore, the chair should have attachment points on both sides, so that the stool can be attached to either side of the chair, depending on the user's needs, allowing a different stool to be attached to each side if a parent has twins.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for using detachable gliding rocking chairs on a baby bassinet that allows adults to rock the chair while still having full control of the baby. The system is flexible and economical to use in different types of rocking gliding chairs.

Problems solved by technology

The combination of such child pacification devices and adult size comfort furniture causes an overcrowded appearance in the room.

However, none of the above-listed child pacification devices can serve as furniture to comfortably support an adult.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,969,685, the rotatable seat described by Chihaya is not designed to safely contain an infant, provide continuous rotation, or to accept infant accessories, as required by a child pacification device.

Furthermore, the chair described in Chihaya must be mounted to the floor and requires extensive gearing to be built into the rotating members.

This gearing arrangement is expensive to construct.

All of the prior art system and apparatus suffer from the disadvantages that they are complicated, expensive, and / or not easy to operate.
