DYNAMIC FURNITURE FEATURING PENDULUM-LIKE MOTION
A dynamic furniture system includes a first frame portion; a set of rollers mounted to the first frame portion; a second frame portion including one or more rockers having a roller-interface surface having a curved profile; wherein the set of rollers interface with the roller-interface surface of the rockers such that the second frame portion is moveable relative to the first frame portion; a set of one or more electromagnets mounted to or integrated with the first frame portion or the second frame portion; a set of one or more magnetically-interactive elements mounted to or integrated with a different one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion; and an electronic control system configured to vary a parameter of electrical energy supplied to the set of electromagnets over time to induce back and forth motion of one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion.
FOLDABLE SWING FRAME
A foldable swing frame is provided and includes a seat assembly, a lateral support, a joint assembly and a bottom leg assembly. The lateral support is located beside the seat assembly. The seat assembly is assembled with the lateral support. The joint assembly is installed on the lateral support. The bottom leg assembly is for standing the foldable swing frame. The bottom leg assembly is assembled with the joint assembly. The bottom leg assembly is pivotally connected to the lateral support by the joint assembly, and the bottom leg assembly is switchable between a folded position and an unfolded position relative to the lateral support by the joint assembly. One or more embodiments of the foldable swing frame can be folded compactly to reduce an occupied space of the foldable swing frame without detachment of the seat assembly for easy transportation and easy storage.
Convertible infant seat
An infant seat is convertible between at least a rocking configuration and a chair configuration. The infant seat includes a seat for supporting an infant and a base supporting the seat. The base includes a rocker member with first and second portions pivotally coupled to one another by a hinge, where each of the first and second portions include a curved rocking surface. The second portion is pivotable about the hinge between first and second positions relative to the first portion. In the first position, the curved rocking surface of the second portion is adjacent to the curved rocking surface of the first portion to support the base on a floor and permit rocking of the base on the floor. In the second position, the second portion extends between the seat and the floor to support the seat and inhibit rocking of the base.
COMBINATION INFANT BOUNCER AND ROCKER
A multi function bouncer and rocker is disclosed which allows for easy conversion between the different modes. Height adjustment allows for a back portion of the bouncer to lie against the frame or be positioned at varying heights. A sensor attached to a bouncer motor senses the types of movement and sends the detection signal to a controller which then changes magnetic power to the bouncer motor to allow the movement to become rhythmic.
Children's Swivel Bed and Seat
For this invention I took into account two basic aspects: the application of induction motors its speeds and the weight of children newly born until 3 years old.
The present invention will have as components; the induction motor specifically of single phase power, a support structure, a bed or a seat.
For this invention, the dimensions of the induction motor, such as, the stator, the rotor, the shaft and its length, the speeds, will be according to the weight of children's between age 0 to 3 years old. The two speeds that will have will be slower than those of the fans of home and commercial establishments. These are the modifications that will be made in the single phase induction motor.
The new section on invention is the bed or the seat that will be connected to the shaft to allow the bed to rotate.
Another new aspect of the invention is the support structure in which the motor will be placed in a vertical position. The support structure will be circular and with a certain height. Therefore the bed will be also circular, rectangular or another configuration.
The induction motor inside the support structure will be permanent, while the bed can be mounted or disassembled as well as the seat.
Dynamic furniture featuring pendulum-like motion
A dynamic furniture system includes a first frame portion; a set of rollers mounted to the first frame portion; a second frame portion including one or more rockers having a roller-interface surface having a curved profile; wherein the set of rollers interface with the roller-interface surface of the rockers such that the second frame portion is moveable relative to the first frame portion; a set of one or more electromagnets mounted to or integrated with the first frame portion or the second frame portion; a set of one or more magnetically-interactive elements mounted to or integrated with a different one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion; and an electronic control system configured to vary a parameter of electrical energy supplied to the set of electromagnets over time to induce back and forth motion of one of the first frame portion or the second frame portion.

INFANT SOOTHING DEVICE AND METHOD
A novel and improved device to assuage distressed infants by means of adjustable vertical motion combined with adjustable orientation. The motion is adjustable in terms of amplitude, frequency and time. The device allows the infants to be held face-inward or face-outward in the case of vertical orientation and prone or supine in the case of horizontal orientation.
MODULAR CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY SYSTEM
A modular children's activity system including one or more support platforms and/or one or more support base frames. The support platforms and support base frames are configured to be arranged in a variety of configurations to form a number of different children's accessories, such as for example a jumper, a table, an entertainment center, and/or a play mat, whereby a single set of components can be configured in a variety of configurations to extend the useful lifespan of the system through a child's growth and development.
Swing control method and apparatus
A swing control method is disclosed. Dual photoelectric sensors and gratings are involved. The method includes: detecting the time when blocked or opening parts of gratings pass through photoelectric sensors; comparing a minimum time value with a time value corresponding to a preset swing amplitude in each swing cycle, and when the minimum time value is not equal to the preset time value, generating a control signal for adjusting an output power of a motor so that the swing amplitude reaches the preset swing amplitude; detecting a current swing direction; and determining whether the current swing direction changes, and if yes, generating a control signal for adjusting the output power of the motor for co-direction supplementary augmentation. The method controls the swing speed of a swing by calculating a value of the time when the blocked or opening parts of the gratings pass through the photoelectric sensors.
