Description

Technical area

 The present invention relates to a device for generating a rocking motion on pads for babies, comprising a stand arranged on a base frame with a support arm and a traction means which is designed for suspension of the support. As requirements for babies are understood below all facilities that are usually provided for the permanent admission of babies, such as. Baby loungers, cribs, strollers, etc., or are suitable for supporting such recordings.

State of the art

There are known from the prior art baby swings or baby rockers, which can be triggered manually to generate a rocking motion. By introducing a manual vibration or a manual vibration pulse to these baby swings or baby rockers, the intended edition is placed in a rocking motion and oscillates back and forth or up and down.

 Furthermore, baby rockers are known from the prior art, which consist of a support, which are designed for placement of for example of prams, cots or the like on the baby rocker and provided with a vibration mechanism, which swing the furniture back and forth.

 The disadvantage of these baby rockers is primarily that they are impractical to handle. In addition, these baby rockers are technically elaborate and associated with high acquisition costs.

Presentation of the invention

The present invention is based on the object to provide a device for the automated generation of a rocking motion on pads for babies, which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages.

 According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

 According to the invention, a device of the type mentioned above is characterized in that a drive element is provided for bringing about a vibration or an oscillating pulse, wherein on the drive element, a means for raising and lowering the traction means is provided, which is designed such that by the initiation of the oscillation or the vibration pulse, the support is placed in a continuous or intermittent rocking motion.

 The drive element is preferably an electric motor or a hydraulically or pneumatically operated motor or a spring-driven motor or a magnetic drive. In addition, of course, all other conceivable drives come into consideration, which are suitable to initiate or maintain a vibration or a vibration impulses.

 The traction means is usually designed as a rope, chain, textile tape or textile round sling, wherein the present invention relates to all types and embodiments of traction means.

 The traction means is arranged between the drive element and the drawn support. The drive element therefore forms the traction device, the support forms the train object accordingly. The inventively provided on the drive element and the traction means up and swinging means for initiating the oscillation or the oscillation pulse of the support in a continuous or intermittent rocking motion is arranged either part of the drive element itself or as an independent component to the drive element.

Brief description of the drawings

Other objects, features, advantages and applications of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing. All described and / or illustrated features, alone or in any combination form the subject matter of the invention, regardless of the summary in individual claims or their dependency.

 In the drawing shows

Embodiment of the invention

How out 1 As can be seen, the device comprises 1 for generating a rocking movement on supports 2 for babies on a pedestal 10 arranged frame 11 with a support arm 12 such as a traction device 13 , which is used to hang the support 2 is designed. The base is preferably formed as a hollow body, which the drive element 14 receives. The traction device 13 , which at the swinging up and down device 15 is arranged in this advantageous embodiment of the invention on deflection 16 (preferably pulleys) for suspension 17 the edition 2 guided.

By switching on the drive element and initiation of the vibration or the vibration pulse through the device 15 will be the edition 2 in a continuous or intermittent rocking motion. To avoid jerky insertion of the rocking motion is advantageous an elastic suspension element 18 provided, which, for example, consists of a spring. In addition, however, a jerky onset of rocking motion can also be prevented (additionally) by the execution of an elastic or resilient traction means.

The edition 2 exists in the in 1 illustrated embodiment of a basket-like container 2 for babies.

The device 15 consists in the present embodiment of a rod-shaped tension element 15 , which on the rotating drive element 14 is arranged and which the traction means 13 by rotation, partial rotation or by an up and down swinging motion alternately releases upwards and pulls down again.

On the pedestal is preferably a controller 19 the device provided.

By means of the switch 19a becomes the oscillation speed / frequency of the drive element 14 set.

By means of the switch 19b is the starting speed of the drive element 14 regulated.

By means of the switch 19c the oscillation amplitude is adjusted. For this purpose, preferably a further motor drive element 30 provided by means of which the orientation of the device 15 and / or the drive element 14 can be adjusted. Here, both a change in the angular orientation or a change of distances or length alignments in the device 15 or the drive element 14 possible, which causes the oscillation amplitude on the traction means 13 and therefore on the edition 2 changes.

The on the traction means 13 or between the traction means and the support 2 arranged spring can be exchangeable and designed for different weights.

Above the edition 12 is preferably at least one acoustic recording and / or output element 20 (For example, an mp3 player with at least one speaker and microphone) provided. This makes it possible, for example, to record and play back lullabies. For this purpose, a USB / SD card connection may also be present. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a video camera is provided, by means of which the baby can also be observed in the distance (for example on the smartphone or the tablet). In addition, communication with the baby can take place in conjunction with the sound output via loudspeaker. For this purpose, preferably a transmitting and receiving device in the form of a WLAN, Bluetooth or other wireless radio network to the device 1 intended.

 In a further advantageous embodiment, sensors are provided which determine specific movements, states or noises (utterances) of the baby and automatically initiate pre-programmed actions. Such actions may be the acoustic playback of songs, the initiation of a rocking motion or an alarm, which takes place, for example, by means of a smartphone. The functions can be switched on and off.

 In addition, it is conceivable to provide solar cells on the device for obtaining the energy for the drive and the supply of said devices in order to use the device also self-sufficient and outdoors.

 For this purpose, it may also be advantageous to equip the device with a battery (preferably with a battery).

 The device according to the invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments. Rather, a variety of design variations are possible, which make use of the solution shown even with fundamentally different type of execution.
