Abstract
It is widely known that an `up and down' movement calms fussy babies. This invention takes the form of a chair, connected to a pole, which moves in an upward and downward motion, to soothe fussy and/or crying babies.
Description
Specification This invention relates to an infant product that soothes babies.
It is common for parents to do "squats" with their babies in their arms to soothe them.
This is actually loosely known among mothers as "doing the elevator" to appease baby.
This can be quite tiring for mothers/caregivers and there is no product currently in the market that can mechanically reproduce this motion. Although there exists swings in the marketplace that move from side to side or front to back, there are currently no infant products in the market that offer an up and down movement to soothe baby.
By mechanically reproducing the up and down motion, this invention will allow mothers/caregivers to soothe their baby without as much effort as was put into creating this motion manually by bending and extending their legs (which can also be positioned as "doing squats"). The Baby Elevator Chair is similar to baby swings out in the marketplace which are designed to mechanically reproduce the motion of parents rocking their babies to calm them or help them to sleep. Our product mechanically reproduces the motion of parents moving their babies up and down in order to soothe them, thus eliminating the manual labour required.
The Baby Elevator Chair is comprised of a seat that will either (1) be connected to the side of a pole (the seat moves up and down the side of the pole) or (2) positioned at the top of a pole (the retractable pole moves up and down). Both methods allow the seat to go up and down in a rhythmic, regular way. The final mechanism chosen in the development of the Baby Elevator Chair to make the seat go up and down will be determined by feasibility and cost.
With Method (1), the seat in which baby will be seated is connected to the side of a pole, approximately 1 foot down from the top of the pole. The height of the pole is still to be determined but will be between 3-4 feet tall. A mechanism on the pole allows the seat to glide up and down the side of the pole (the range of the up and down motion will take place over a foot to 3 feet approximately. This is still to be determined).
With Method (2), the seat in which the baby will be seated sits on top of a pole. The height of the pole is still to be determined but will be between approx 2-3 feet tall. The pole itself retracts downward by 1- 3 feet approximately (range of retraction/extension is still to be determined), and then comes back up.
The seat itself is cushioned for baby's comfort and includes a shoulder and waist harness to make sure baby is securely fastened and cannot fall out. The seat comes with a removable "newborn" head rest option. The seat can also recline.
Optional features may be included on the Baby Elevator Chair such as the option to play music/heartbeat/nature sounds as baby glides up and down. The base of the Baby Elevator Chair will need to be wide and sturdy, and some weight may need to be added to the other side of the pole if the mechanism in Method (1) (seat on side of the pole) is used, in order the counter-balance the baby's weight and to ensure the Baby Elevator Chair does not topple over. This will be determined at the research and development stage of production. Finally, the Baby Elevator Chair will be battery-operated; while a plug-in option will also be explored.
Drawings To be submitted at a later date once the application is filed (need to hire an engineering/design firm for concept development/design).
